I haven't worked with said device, but it would need to have the same
basic circuitry that is found in the Audio Alchemy DTI.  All the DTI
gives you is a nice Phase Locked Loop that resynchs the signal.  It's
not all that complex, hence it's cheap price tag and inclusion in
high-end D/A's.  Any sort of format conversion box would almost
require the use of same.

I am looking for a good full range speaker
for about $1000-1200. I have read lots
of good things about the 2Ce ($1295). The nearest
Vandersteen dealer is some 40 miles away.

At the local Hi-Fi store I heard the BP-10 ($1000)
from Definitive Technology. I was positively
impressed. However, I have no idea whether
the Vandersteens  are much better or not.
The sales person said "... the BP10 are this year's
breakthrough in speaker design..." He acknowledge that
the 2Ce may have more "... bass punch..." but also
said "... the 2Ce are so bright that you will 
get tired of them over time..."

Is any of this true?
Can you offer any experience,
stories, comparissons?

Thanks...Reinaldo

Dear Audiophiles,
Let me ask you if you have any comments on upgrading my system:
-Marantz CD65II transport
-Audio Alchemy DDE D/A
-Conrad & Johnson PV 8 preamp
-Conrad & Johnson MV52 amp
-Dahlquist DQ20i speakers
-Straight Wire Maestro interconnects
-Kimber 8TC cables
I believe that my system would benefit a new D/A like the new PS Audio Digital Link $500 (the Ultra link at $2000 is over my budget), or the Sumo theorem ($700).
Any ideas or experiences you would share in that field?

Thanks in advance.

About a year ago, my brother asked me for help in 
selecting new speakers for his stereo. Because of my 
background in electronics I routinely get questions from 
family and friends about product selection. I told him for 
size versus sound output and quality a sub/sat system was 
hard to beat. We did some shopping and discovered the only 
powered subwoofer available in a low price range was the 
SW100. Intended for movie/TV surround sound it's controls 
allow in to integrate easily with any appropriate 
satellite speaker. With little influence from me my 
brother selected a small two-way speaker from Boston 
Acoustics for the satellites. I can't remember the model 
number but they are very transparent and have a crossover 
point in the middle of the SW100 frequency adjust range. 
For the money the powered Yamaha SW100 combined with the 
satellite speaker of your choice makes an excellent system 
for any kind of music.

This mail was sent three days ago and bounced. Please confirm its arrival
if it arrives today 1/11/92.


   
Several months ago I described the improvements from placing a Sola constant
voltage transformer in my system. Then several days later was unable to 
reproduce the effect for a friend. After failing in my demo, I decided to
find out why. 

Over the holidays I finally borrowed some test equipment from work and
tried to determin how well power conditioning would help my system. Using
two Fluke 45 multimeters, with their serial ports dumping data to PCs, I
captured line voltage and voltage drop across the cathode resistor on my
output tubes (EL34s). During the two hours of data collecting (10:30p to
12:30a, I have kids) the line voltage fluxuated from approximatly 115.7V
to 123.5V. This correspondes to approximatly 3.5mA (one tube) of change in the
quiesent current at the output stage of my amps. Although I could not make
distortion measurments IMHO that this difference is clearly audible.

If line voltage delivered to my system were constant then I might question
the improvements (?) made to the equipment less regularly.  

In the near future I'll compare line voltage to output of a power
conditioner here at work. I can post results if they are of interest.

Hi all,

A friend has just acquired a pair of Duntech Sovereign 2001's, and
we're looking for advice on partnering electronics.  A basic requirement
is massive power delivery, and budget is unlimited (his, not mine).

Powerwise, we need something big.  The Aragon 4004 clips somewhat early
and doesn't have the oompph that is necessary, anyway.  We tried an
Adcom 585 because of its huge power and it only just coped.  The
Muscial Fidelity A370 that was meant to be tried with them was sold
before the speakers arrived.  So I'd guess we're looking for a pair
of top-class monoblocks.  

I'd like to hear from anybody that can suggest suitable amps, especially
if you have used them on a big pair of Ducntechs.  Amps under consideration
are:

Musical Fidelity A370
Musical Fidelity A470
Classe (all models)
van den Hul's (both models)
Chord SPM1200
Jeff Rowland (all models)

because we can get hold of them and they fit the bill.  Other
recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks for any help

Gavin

The new BEL 1001 Mark II arrived yesterday, about three weeks after the latest
Absolute Sound called it possibly the best amp in the world, so I shall be
selling my "old" (8 months) Conrad-Johnson MF200.  This guy is CJ's MOSFET
amplifier, and it puts out 200 watts per side.  It doesn't get extremely hot,
although several of my cats have spoken favorably about the slight warmth that
makes it pleasant to sit upon.  It is quite pleasant sounding, with a very
sweet midrange and decent bass control.  It was reviewed in Stereophile a
couple years back, quite favorably, and it has been a pleasure to have in my
system.  It has the typical CJ look, and hits the steroids at about 59 pounds
if memory serves.  I have the box and manual, and I guess one could say that
it's in excellent sonic and cosmetic condition.  (I never trust that overused
term "mint").  I'd like to get $1250 for it- it's a $2K amp- and will split UPS
charges.  Prospective purchasers in the area (Orange County, CA) are obviously
welcome to audition it.

I would appreciate it if anyone could answer the following questions I have
about upgrading my current system.  Please mail me a copy if you decide to 
post the response.  Thank you.

1.  I have a Denon DCD-970 which has a digital coax output. Is it worth
    my while to buy an inexpensive D/A converter and use the Denon just as a 
    CD transport?  Or should I just buy a better CD player?

2.  Is the difference in sound between the Adcom GFP-555II and GFP-565II
    very perceptible?  Should I upgrade?

    I plan to upgrade my speakers to B&W Matrix 804 eventually.

Hi there,

I would like to bring a CD player, preamp, and power amp from Europe to US.
The voltage there is 220V.  Will this equipment work fine if I connect it to a
110V->220V transformer?  My main concern is the power amp (Electrocompaniet
Ampliwire II) which runs in class A and draws a lot of current (I don't
remember how much).  I checked the FAQ and found that the biggest transformer
mentioned there is the 300W Stancor P-8639.  Can I hook up all three units
to this trasnformer?  I would appreciate any advice you might have.  Thanks
much!

Your amps' output current is relatively weak as compared with other
"high-end" amplifiers on the market.  I have an amp that is rated for 
80 amps peak output current with 60 watts RMS into 8 ohms.  Output current
capability is a fairly well indicated by the manufacturer's wattage
ratings into 4 and 2 ohm loads as compared to 8 ohm ratings, ie.
if an amp design really supplies adequate current, with a wattage rating
of 60 watts into 8 ohms, it will be rated at 120 watts into 4 ohms
and 240 watts into 2 ohms.  When you halve the resistance (i.e. double
the load), then the power supplied to that load if the capability exists,
will double also.  If the amp isn't up to it, then the power supplied will 
sag.  Such an amp will not be able to linearly drive a typical complex
speaker load, where the impedance will vary with the frequency.

Chip - you probably don't realize it, but you have the way to play them
now.   The stylus tip isn't quite exact, but should be good enough.

Use your 681EEE with the 78 rpm stylus.

Rember that stereo cartridges track 45/45, and out-of-phase material is
vertical and in phase (mono) is pure horizontal.   One reason during
the design phase was so that all vertical undulations caused by
turntable rumble would cancel.

Instead of wiring the cartridge for mono, invert the phase of ONE of
the leads from the Stanton and enjoy.    Your Edison's should sound
fine, and your 78's should give you almost nothing but noise and rumble
as the horizontal portions will cancel.

Following up on the thread of words written about the best Burana, and the
comments about the Telarc version, I offer my humble opinion that the best
is by Andre Previn on EMI. The LP, I consider to be one of the great wonders
of the audio world. The CD is miles away from its competition in terms of
dynamics, power, transient, and staging. The vocals are very well recorded,
and Previn's intrepretation is very enjoyable. Certainly my favourite
Carmina. I can post the EMI number if I get a request at my mailbox.

I understand this particular version is quite rare (anyone in UK can confirm
if it is still available at HMV Megastore?)...I mean the CD...the LP has
virtually disappeared from the stores.
