user="anthony"]Yes, the second DSET is still not biasing properly and
I cannot find enough consecutive time to look for the fault. In the
meantime I've got a couple of minor side projects off the electronics bench,
and started thinking se...

I do not defend Amir’s
observations and I also do not take his comments seriously. I have no idea what
he is taking about ground loop,
not sure that he has an idea BUT I do
agree that separation of power cables from
each other after the generato...

I few weeks back I went for a job interview and the
gentlemen who did the interview asked me an interesting question. He googled my
name, found the site, read it and was asking: what this hobby of yours is all about? It is
very hard to explain to...

First of all, if you have
multiple of PP3000 then be advices that them connected in parallel substantially
descries sound quality for each of them. Then might be use ONLY at different
phases of some measures should be taken to decuple them by othe...

Kitty and I are attending this weekend a Wagner Weekend event in Tanglewood. It is Die Walküre dedicated 3 days ceremony with TMCO opera rehearsal and performance, numerous meetings, dinners, lectures, talks with good Wagnerians, inching Christine Go...

Noviygera, I would say nearfield is what is before let say 10feet, but it would be all depends
of the size of the whole room, the reverberation time in the room, type of the
driver used and many other criteria. I do not know how about the distinct

It certainly has nothing to do with my ear or with being
acceptable. We attribute too much attention frequently to a topology/hardware and
too little to specific efforts over given implementations. So, what is the
subject? The Multicellular horns?...

|
Kodomo, nope, I did not try
any new servos and I do not even think I heard any servos over good 10 years.
My main problem with servos, was that it made the same bass. I mean different avenues,
avenues instrument, different music and different play...

Hm, it looks like I misread
you post initially, now I got it. What type of crossover you use at 110Hz? You know that you will eventually will end
up 3 more bass sections per side, juts give yourself time… I personally never
had success with bass s...

Rowuk, I do not think that “ideal
horn system” is what you describe. I think earlier in my audio development I adherent
to the same fallacy: I envisioned that ideal system is a compilation of design efforts,
something that intricacy factored into ...

John, my technician, his name is Dariusz, tested the original laser and the aftermarket that we got from eBay
and he insisted that there is no difference and there was no need to change it
at all, at least in my case. You can contact him and ask mo...

John, I am not sure that I can talk in generalities on the
subject as for a quite few years I stopped to monitor the market as attentively
as I did years back. It is very possible that something new come to existence
last 10 years. Also, there a h...

I do not know what sound Silbatone demonstrated at the show. If it was not “accidently spectacular” (which sometimes happened at the shows) then it is irrelevant what it was. Conceptually Silbatone did not show anything new or stimulating that move ...

[quote user="anthony"]I did finally manage to get a day and a half to make the second DSET operational but it refuses to bias correctly. I've traced the circuit a dozen times, checked component values, tried to find shorts, checked cap polaritie...

Noviygera, yes to a degree a short midbass horns is not really
a horn but some sort of waveguide or
bounce-horn. A horn described, if to drop all crap out, by volume of LF equalization
(boost) the horn makes. A larger trout to mouth ratio the larg...

[quote user="Stitch"]Is there a
definition of "sound like shit"?[/quote]
Stitch, this is VERY good question. I think the
answer in the eye of beholder. I know two guys who own or use to own TechDas 1. One did not like it and he before it use to ha...

This weekend a local audio guy was visited me and we had
some listening and some talks about my ne bass. I kind of make him to talk
about is as I was listening with him and noted that it was a very not just nice
but better then I remember if shoul...

Come on, Anthony, you need to “clean your room” as Peterson
say before you move forward. Variac is notoriously bad for sound, at least 3
types that I tried were horrible. I do not see why Placette cannot run from
220V, confirm it with Guy. Both li...
|

I would take deferent position, it would not be a common position
but I would stick with it. I do sincerely feel that not in the “expensive” TT
that we attribute to the “thighs responsible for quality of sound” in really
has nothing to do with sou...

It looks like the Koreans brought some WE hors to Munich
show again, this time with own MOSFET electronics. Oh, my God, where is the ever-presented
and ever-running his mouth Joe Roberts with his stupid assurances that there is nothing
better in t...

[quote
user="anthony"]Well, probably not up in smoke, but it is just not
functional any more. I was away for a few days and came back to my room
to find the Placette refusing to change volume or select a source input, so
something is amiss. Per...

Yep, the Gorecki 3 is a famous work. There was some controversy
around. Jewish interests highjacked the work it as the Sorrowful theme of Holocaust
but Gorecki admitted that it was not his intention although closer to the end
of his life he was mo...

Anthony , having a room slightly bigger than your and
the rest the same I feel that 3V I get from my frond end is just barely enough.
I have some CD recordings that are have very low compression and recorded with
wide dynamic range (Pop Music’s Go...

Again, I have advocated this subject again
and again. Streaming is not a second-class source. It is all depends of what
you are streaming. If you stream a source of unknown origin (which is 99.9% of
the files that you do now own) then it is wi...

Ok, thanks for explaining. I
few things I would like to note.
If your preamp, being
incorporated between you front-end and you power amps degrades sound in any way
or does not make sound better then it is not a good preamp. Period, there is n...

user="anthony"]My preferred source is a Phasure NOS1a G3 dac.
The thing has no discernible sound of it's own. It outputs 1.25VRMS SE
and I run it at -6dB because it needs a little attenuation to sound its best
which means 0.625VRMS. I d...

Anthony, I am not so thrill
that you are unlashing your into this direction. Not that it is my business and
you can do whatever you want. Still, I feel that methodologically it is not right
way to build a playback. What I mean is that to evaluate ...

I is interesting that most of the “expensive” TTs, with a difference
to a degree of Continuum go for just one topology: mass loading. Yes back a Lechitsky
with a bunch of math and theory was postulating that belt drive is fundamentally
less advanc...
