I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

Jessie, I pulled posts from Macondo Axioms thread and encapsulated them onto a new thread dedicated explicitly to your project. I hope you do not mind.

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

Jessie, I have moved your post to your 45Hz horns thread but then decided to keep it here as some of my comments would be about entire system not only about your midbass horn. Anyhow, there is nothing there to laugh and it is pleasant to see that som...

I kind of was thinking…
If a good DHT is able to give a magnitude of Absolute Tone that IDHT is
not able then it might be good… But. I do not use Single-stage
Melquiades amp itself but it supplemented with my Injection Channel.
The Inject...

I think we have been using the wrong analogy here, trying to compare sound to painting in the sense that it is not about adding things to sound as much as taking off.I believe the right analogy would be sculpting: In order to get a good sound, one ...

I was promising to tell stories of my audio miracles with no
order of chronology or importance, so here is another one. I think it was in
2002-2003. I was transitioning from Lamm amplifications to Melquiades and was contemplating
to introduce a DH...

As I said in my post above the PurePower has well-defined double-action in its contribution to Sound of playback
The first action is process of power regeneration and getting rid of negative influences of bad electricity. Let from now and on to call...

Romy,
I'm very pleased to learn that you've got your Injection Channel done.
I assume the above illustration is not indicative of the way you have the Tannoy Red aligned with regard to the other drivers, as it appears to be sitting out in front...

I helped Romy shuffle around some hardware and connect some cables yesterday. That damned table weighs about 100.000 pounds. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see live, in-person how Romy thinks about audio and incorporates th...

Michael,
I never head Single Power gears, or ever herd this company. I kind of have very specific type of sound that am wiling to get out the headphones. It is hard to describe but it should be very-very soft and moist but still with upper bass horn...

I had today a long listening session. I listened a whole Mahler Second and I can tell you that I was the best upperbass I ever heard from a playback. I am not kidding. The upperbass literally despaired in the new room but what it is being called up...

OK, after some experiments I did find something that reduced dynamics what Avicenna was on line. Avicenna has two power transformers. First one is a low voltage (6.3V/1A) transformer to feed Avicenna’s distortion analyses, oscillators, frequency PLL,...

Paul,
Thanks for the compliments.
You are exactly correct with regard to how I use a plotted curve and a sheet metal template... The part I like least is cutting out the metal template... This is because I use fairly heavy metal. Which is neces...

Years ago, the two different systems in which I heard RCA 1428s - in a fairly big warehouse and crammed into a basement listening room - used giant RCA multi-cell horns in combination with giant Ubangi bass bins, passive crossovers and vintage WE or ...

Another
very interesting idea proposed by a friend of mine with whom I just discussed the
notion. He asked if my find with center channel will work out then why wouldn’t
I use my Injection channels as a center channels, all that I need to do is to...

Forgive my complete ignorance in the speaker design, but if Edgar is right and the passive radiator has to be the last one, why not adding a sub with a passive? A sub with the same 8565 as a passive?
I hear you re the injection,...

2011 will be a busy audio year for me. I will have a nice large space 28 feet x 20 feet x 11 feet which I am free to modify for audio. The walls are 150 years old irregular stone the floor is cement and the ceiling is composed of structural...

[quote user="Paul S"]it seems like a miracle that two people familiar with the score could recognize "it" and agree on it, via any sort of playback whatsoever ... we tend to focus (more or less) on the parts we recognize as Music. [/quote][quote user...

Thanks Romy,I was hoping to hear that you remain happy with your midbass solution and was surprised at the time about the small cabinets that you used for the Vitavox 15"ers, but having measured T/S parameters of the drivers here I can see that indee...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Here's what's behind my comment regarding the irrelevance of color: I strongly suspect that the new production diaphragms will come with transparent Mylar suspension. In that case, I would hope they turn out to have the me...

To save people from researching the differences between Romy's and my systems, I'll note the principal differences here, ignoring our ongoing mid-bass projects, which will be different, but both are incomplete, so not yet in the picture.As concerns t...

Thanks, JJ.
I do not necessary feel that it should be any difference between the early Hal-O production and the new version – they are essentially are the same products with different descriptions. For new dampers should be better only for lar...

Believe me or not but since last spring when I undertook the single-amp conversion and went for the six-channel Super Melquiades my playback never sounded as I would like it to. It was better or worst but it was never how I meant. The last week the t...
