| Uptone EtherRegen I’ve used the ER with a 10mhz clock and a Hynes SR7 power supply. It is a nice product, but unfortunately has been unstable with drop outs and disconnects in my application. As mentioned in another thread, instability may occur in combination with... | |
| Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE Answer is yes. I have SOtM SMS-200, USBultra, Estoteric K-01X, and EtherREGEN all clocked to a 10mHz Stanford Research PERF-10. The synergy of the whole is greater than its parts. | |
| High quality equalizers A few hours into the Manley piece has me convinced. Rich & concise and dead quiet, as a fine tubed unit must be for the studio. | |
| High quality equalizers I’m taking delivery tomorrow of a new Manley Massive Passive. This may be synergistic with the Purify 6.5" mid/woofers and matching Purify passive radiators in my modified Merlin VSMs. The Purify drivers deliver clean, albeit rolled off, LF into t... | |
| Owners of BAT phono preamps, need some info.... Another option is Bulgin pins. I’ve used both male and female to construct TX2575 plug-ins for Pass Labs and Atmasphere phono preamps. They use high-quality gold plating over solid copper. They come in 10-packs and three pin diameters. Here are so... | |
| Merlin VSM MME Master BAM Modification Agree re frequency response. However, the BAM can be meaningfully improved with a better external LPS than the stock button cell batteries, and better coupling caps than the stock Hovlands. | |
| Caps Jantzen Standard--z vs ClarityCap ESA Within the ClarityCap range, CSA succeeds ESA-- improved with the addition of copper ends, as compared to ESA's tin/zinc end spray. The performance is improved at a modest increase in cost.Charcroft/ClarityCap OEM Sales | |
| Less-Loss anyone? That's your loss, ebm. | |
| Roon 1.8 First look today. I like that file formats and bit/sampling rates are now displayed at the top level view. It's faster to locate the preferred hi-res version of a title. | |
| Best sounding resistors If you can justify the price and resistances are <100K, the Vishay/Texas Components TX2575/Charcroft CAR Z-foil equivalents are the most transparent, surpassing MK-132. If cost is a factor, consider Welwyn-- very sweet and clean. I recently use... | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys As someone well versed in them once said to me, Harley measures tolerances with a yardstick. Maybe similar to some hi-end audio manufacturers. | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection Doug, as a check point to your repairs you might speak with Harry Weisfeld. He has a pair of restored stacked Ohm F at the VPI house. I haven't heard them, but perhaps he has some ideas to help bring out the best in the F. | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection +1 @trudat IOW it’s the HHR Exotic that proves the merit of Walsh’s conception-- or maybe a German Physiks. A $400 restoration of a Ohm F is a straw man. | |
| The problem with Magicos Trepanning, also known as trepanation, trephination, trephining or making a burr hole (the verb trepan derives from Old French from Medieval Latin trepanum from Greek trypanon, literally "borer, auger")[1][2] is a surgical intervention in which a... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen I've been using a Regen since August. It's in series between a SOtM-modified hub and a SOtM trifecta into an Esoteric K-01X, all synchronized to a 10mhz rubidium clock. In my application the Regen improves things, extending LF authority and addi... |
