Hello,

I read a review about a turntable battery PSU in a German HiFi paper today. The shop price is € 1700,00. A similar unit should be possible to built for a NOS1?!?
The Dartzeel preamp has a built in battery banque and an external PSU too, and the difference of the SQ is relavant.

The PDF shows an open PSU housing.

Good advice, but Paul is on "Cloud Nine"

Hi Daniel,

congratulation for your system. These components are well known to be “very fast” and for its micro- and macrodynamic capabilities.

I was a little bit astonished to read that the Q5 (http://www.stereophile.com/content/magico-q5-loudspeaker-page-4) produces more bass than the Orelo MKII, because I felt that the bass in Peters room was exceptional (in the year 2010).

Your opinion confirms that the acoustic of a room has a major influence of an audio presentation.

Kind regards
Joachim

It would be interesting to get some Details about Daniels audio system.

Kind regards

The most sensitive region of our ears are from 1,000 to 5,000 Hz.
What does it tell us for music reproduction?

Edit: Also interesting to read -

The song „Nublado“ by Sera Una Noche (track 6)  ( http://www.allmusic.com/album/sera-una-noche-mw0000091863 ) was played at all Highend shows around the clock this year, and you can’t believe what you hear when you listen to this horn system.

The AKG K-1000 headphones is one of the best money can buy, and the design is more a "near field monitor" (panels are rotatable/to tilt).

Maybe Mani is listening to his speakers in a near field position.

Otherwise headphones and speakers (with the influence of the listening room) are two different worlds.

Joachim

One word only: PERFECT

Joachim

Hi,

I remember that someone of our English “tweak department” is using ENACOMs (****) from Harmonix. (www.combak.net)

I got the chance to lay my hands on a pair of “speaker ENACOMs” (second hand for € 70,00).
This devices are astonishing, they are removing the sharpness of extreme highs without degrading the information.

Joachim

Edit: (****) Sorry, it are ByBees!

Hi,

There are differences in the filter 16xAP (from release "e" to "i").

In release "i" the upper mids and highs are little bit more accentuated, what I prefer.

Joachim

Hi Juan,

nice writing. This is big business for the FIFA only.
South Africa has problems to use some of the football arenas today, and Brasil will face the same.

Who is to blame for? The politicians!!! They are "fighting" for prestigious events (Russia etc.) and have to invest a hell of money into the infrastructure according to the FIFA specs.
And afterwards the FIFA  will make profit in Billion of Dollars and the "lower class" people are starving. (South Africa, Brasil and Russia) The Olympic Winter Games in Russia this year costs more than 25 Billion Dollars. Crazy!!!!

----------------------------

Now it is Hollands turn to complete a European final. Van Gaal will look for it, I'm sure. 

I'm sure that Peters stock in fluids is big enough to celebrate ...... !

I played handball for more than 20 years, and the worst thing is to be commiserated (bemitleidet werden). I better loose 0:10 than .......... .

Such games happens once within 100 years only, and what can you buy for it at present? Nothing, except you are at least the second in the tournament for 100%.

Joachim

Since hours I'm playing 16xAP (no Custom) with version "i", and a seamless switch to 8xAP is possible (on my computer system).
and the driver panel shows 176.400

Joachim

Edit: Forwards and backwards, and the driver panels follows accordingly

Hi Brian,

I  received a rev. "e" with the upgrage to the NOS1a and I have "acoustic hallucinations" that this revision is superoir to "i". Strange, because the 16xAP filter has not been changed.
So, it's time for a Wodka with Coke and ice (less headaches)
