Audio Precision System One Dual Domani Measuirement Systems

I'm part of group that is readying two Audio Precision System One Dual Domain measurement systems for market.

The units have exceptional provenance. They were owned by Stereo Review Magazine and were the personal tools of Julian Hirsch. They still have Hachette Publications property stickers on them.

Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S magazine operations, like Ziff Davis, and indeed Stereo Review, are regrettably no more. We obtained these units from Hachette as surplus items right before they moved their offices in Manhattan.

According to

, Hachette's US magazine operations were sold off in May, 2010.

The condition of the equipment is excellent. All of the tests I've run worked the first time. We have them fully operational and attached to computers running Windows XP. We believe that we have drivers and I/O cards that will work with even later versions of Windows. The units are a tiny bit out of calibration. We intend to run 100% of the diagnostics and have them entirely nominal before sale.

While not SOTA in terms of distortion residuals, AP S1 systems are still valuable tools for many current applications due to their excellent interfaces, good performance, and programmability. We intend to sell them as turnkey systems - unbox what we send you, plug it in, and go!

If you are interested in purchasing this equipment, please contact me at arnyk at comcast dot net.

** Has this unit got more value because of its provenance ?

Anyhow - here's a pic of one:

Funny you should say that as the little beauties below have been reduced to *only* £1503 and they feature that well known technical enhancement of orthogonal braid. I've just ordered half a dozen of them, they'll go well with the Hachette Publications property stickers...in fact f*ck it, they won't just go well, they were made for each other.

LMAO "Russ?s thoughts in previous issues of our Connected magazine, you?ll know that he advocates the freezing of CDs to improve their sound quality"

It seems you can fool some of the [rich] people enough of the time to make a good living selling bollocks.

I saw a couple in Comet yesterday buying a 1m HDMI cable for £45. You should have heard the drivel the 'knowledgeable' salesperson was spouting.

The damage that such people can do to the TV industry is........ well, words fail me. Mind you if they are daft enough to spend so much (and it was by no means the cheapest) rather than £4.99 at B&Q then they deserve it.

I bought an HDMI cable in Tottenham Court Road a couple of months ago. The bloke wanted 19.95, and I said I wouldn't pay that much. He asked what I would give, and I held out a fiver. He was perfectly happy with the trade. I should have offered a quid.

My Pioneer Elite Kuro sits some distance from the player. I needed a 20' HDMI cable. I bought MCM's house-brand cable for about $15. It works perfectly, as far as I can tell.

I needed to run an HDMI connection from one room to another, so I bought a couple of passive HDMI wallplates that simply break-out the HDMI pins to a couple of IDC blocks which are then interconnected with two runs of Cat5 cable. With a run a about 15m between the wallplates this works flawlessly with 1080p video.

The British electrical standards are the dumbest on planet, or at least the dumbest I have ever run into. Except for the Japanese, who are combine the worst possible voltage standard with two different frequencies.

In the US, we have two voltages in (all but really really old) houses: 120 and 240, although most outlets are 120, the ranges, clothes dryers and air conditioners are 240. And that 240 is balanced. If we were SERIOUS audiophiles, we'd have 240 volt four pin dryer outlets put in our listening rooms and run our power amps on 240.

If you were a serious audiophile, you would not allow mains electricity within a mile of your listening room. You would run your amplifier on lead-acid batteries and your turntable would be a uranium flywheel.

Osmium would be a better choice for a turntable flywheel.

How about carving a flywheel from a black hole? (Getting it rotating may be problematic, though...)

Yeah, but we're smart enough to not put them in our living room.
