In the first installment of this series we had a look at the noise generated at the output of a number of easy to build and cheap voltage regulators: single-chip series and shunt regs (LM317/337 and ...

Once you leave the anemic dynamics of all monkey coffins you are taking on a brave new challenge that few Americans are able to confront...the challenge of authentic music dynamics that only horns can ...

A friend of mine bought a Logitech SB3 and a used Entech 205.2 DAC (I don't think the Entech is still available). After a few mods to the DAC, he reported excellent results using a Toslink (optical) ...

As I worked on the TNT AirCoil DIY Interconnect write up I did a lot of thinking and reading around the question of how the capacitance affects frequency response and how low does the interconnect ...

Boy, this one takes me way back. At the time this album was in heavy rotation in my system, I was working outside of my home state of Missouri doing contract engineering and design work for a small ...

Recently there has been quite a discussion on the TNT forum regarding bass performance. One correspondent asked whether a piano got down as low as 50 Hz and it made me realise that most of us don't ...

Approx. price: Sword 3m pair: $795 - Rondo 4x2.5= $2.60 / foot - Fork XL Spades= $20.00 / pack I admit to having a long-standing curiosity about the Swedish Supra line of cables. First of all, they're ...

Di recente, c'è stata un'interessante discussione sul forum inglese di TNT-Audio riguardante le prestazioni in gamma bassa. Un lettore chiedeva se il pianoforte scende fino ai 50 Hz, e ciò mi ha fatto ...

Having a properly aligned cartridge not only reduces distortion, but also insures the least amount of damage to the vinyl's grooves. Besides, Lucio (a cool dude after all) is helping me give them away ...

Large reservoir capacitors notwithstanding, for really high quality power supply we need additional filtering. As seen on the Diagrams, small value capacitors, in the 100-220nF region are used to ...

The Trasparent Cables are well known to the audiophile community for their strange appearance: almost every cable by this Company is equipped with a mysterious black box, called the Transparent ...

In Part 1 of this series we looked at the output signal of voltage regulators caused by noise, i.e. the output generated by the regulators themselves, irrespective of the load or the raw supply. In ...
