Driving an 801 or 10Y with another DHT would be tricky. The driver stage would need a Zout of <400 ohms. A 2A3 might do it via a step down interstage although making a good interstage that'll handle 60mA will be difficult. A 45 at near maximum rat...

Maybe it has been referred to previously here but this Kemp regenerator has the facility to change the waveform shape by adding third harmonics.http://www.kempelektroniks.nl/Power-Regenerators/Power-Station-75.aspxIt'd certainly be interesting t...

Don't take the 'soul' comment too seriously. I just needed a heading! I haven't tried enough of the other DHT options to know whether there are better alternatives within that family. However, it has been my experience to date, that carefu...

112-71-300B works for me although I sometimes use some 845 PP amps for the lower frequencies.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/e96aaf9e.jpg[/IMG]...

Visiting the Paris Hifi Show a couple of times in the late 80's I saw a turntable with a heavy platter floating in a bath of exposed!!! mercury. The people running the demo did not look well (grey pallor, lacking hair) and looked even worse the secon...

I never did see or hear one of these but I'd be interested to know how constant they were able to make it.
"...this was a curious turntable with a viscous clutch-like transmission: a layer of water and glycerine between platter and a fanned motor tr...

Is it true that they were only made at one factory and are not made any longer?I realise that not many people are using them (either manufacturers or DIY people) but presumably there are large stocks lying somewhere?...
|
|
I'd say there were fundamental issues in music reproduction which need to be got right (specifically within the design/implementation of the transducers) before worrying about the presentational niceties that omnidirectivity appears to addr...

A nice 30 minute b/w film about the production of miniature valves by Mullard in Blackburn, England.http://www.techtubevalves.com/about_us/film_reels.phpIt would seem that some of the former employees at that site are to start producing some audio va...

Are you absolutely sure that the headshell mass loading you use has not had an effect on the life of this cartridge?I have my reasons for asking but the explanation is too convoluted to write at this moment!...

There are times when a photograph, however well taken, is not enough. The contemporary British artist Lucien Freud paints portraits that tell more about the scene and the subject than perhaps a photograph ever could. This interpretation somehow...
|
|
While the question was somewhat facetious there was supposed to be a serious point behind it. I experience a similar 'effect' with a linestage I sometimes use. It is quite easy to hear what this stage contributes and initially it is too differe...
|
|
Perhaps if you build another phono corrector you could play your TT through that, then through the inverse RIAA then through the EoL corrector then the linestage & power amps etc.
Will you be listening to all of your line level sources via ...

Isn't 330 ohms a little low as a plate load for an ECC83/12AX7 to be running into? 330K ohms perhaps?You often ask what is wrong with a given speaker installation, I thought you might be doing the same here. Keeping us on our toes :)...

[/quote]I hope no one tries to build this based on the diagram above. They won't get much output from it! If you can't see what I suspect are deliberate mistakes, you definitely shouldn't be trying to build o...

Did you see this piece Paul?http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/vta_e.htmlI'm not sure what to make of it. We certainly don't seem to suffer with the issues of poor mains to the same degree over here and I found that I can set up my cartridge so that i...

The arm pictured above may be made by Rossner & Sohn (as is the turntable) but is definitely a good deal longer than 12". One wonders when the benefits of better geometry become outweighed by the reduction in stiffness/structural integ...

What are the pads you are applying, ie what material?...
|
|
Certainly it took Technics a while to sort out the motor control systems in their serious DD machines. The earlier SP10 Mk1 is not a good example. On the Mk2 they seem to have got it right. Even with that there are other issues like the mat & pli...

There was a Japanese company called Melco who did some experimentation with platter mass back in the 70's. I seem to recall that they felt 30Kg was where it stopped making a difference. The greek ACA president with his flywheel assis...

Its interesting to see that RAAL are now representing Feastrex for many countries in Eastern Europe. I wonder if they intend to create something using both types of driver!...

I have listened to these loudspeakers at 3 different HiFi shows. To me they produce what seems to be an uncontrolled mass of woody & papery sounding resonances. However, I haven't heard them being played in conjunction with a more norma...

A musician friend of mine said this"British orchestras tend to have violins (1st and 2nd) on the left, violas centre (usually asleep), cello to the right and basses far right.Many European orchestras have violins left and right, cellos and violas cen...

I agree its terrible, but the concept they are talking about sounds familiar and it would seem they'd be achieving some of the effect by adding in NXT panels in some way.They invite interested parties to email them. They don't seem to be sellin...

Are this company thinking along the same 'Oops' lines?http://www.layeredsound.com/index.html...

Romy,A few months ago, iirc, you linked to a Canadian? amplifier which seemed to be made as or perhaps could be applicable for DSET use but I can't find the link. Can you remember where its is (or what it was called)?...

TTH's ?By the way I've heard several 834's not just one. You are right though, I don't particularly care for what I feel is its rather obvious character.No ET magnetics either, hard to find/hear over here. I think a just handful were sold...
|
|
Maybe, maybe not although I'd expect it to be unlikely with a Koetsu, Shelter 901 or an SPU at the front! Not unless they are very different cartridges to the samples I've listened to....
