Floobydust,
and this is exactly why I ask what “other available solutions for clean power” do the job but do not “hurt” sound. The reason why I ask is because if I know, let say 3-4 devises, of the different designs that do the “electricity cure” w...

[quote user="gordan"] plus they IMHO sound better - less prejudiced towards a romantic SET sound we all know (and some try to avoid).[/quote] Yes, Gordan, it is exactly what I heard about the 10s from the sources that I found rational. The huge plate...

[quote user="Paul S"]But you aren't using the tube rectifier, are you?!?[/quote] Nope I do not. I cancel the contribution to sound from rectifiers and “sonic quality” of chokes by using substantial value of blocking cap that does not allow AC to go ...

… very close design-vise and sound-vise. From here I need just to put a 3-4dB voltage divider in the grid of the driver grid and to found a really good sounding filter caps that will be able to handle 450V. I have some metalized polypropylene but I d...

Since my left channel along with midbass horn is more or less configured I made today a first rest of the full assembly - with LF section. The midbass does somewhere hear 40Hz and I set the LF section for 34Hz, drove it from B2 via the SMS crossover....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I ...

Interesting. This weekend a local guy visited and and he had a conversation about my playback. He said that my playback has very distinct my type of sound and it makes Bruckner to sound like Mahler. I was surprised with this assessment as I always th...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Why is it that the strings, especially the massed violins are so difficult. [/quote]This is a complex question. In the reproduction of massed of strings, particularly when they come along with woodwinds, involved so many v...

I do not know why but I am thinking about animals lately. When we deal with animals we treat each of them with respect to their breed. We feed them with respect of what this type of animal wants, we entertain each animal in own ways, we make home fo...

… and this certainly violates the idea of populization of audio by consumer publication. The absoluteness of audio orienteers dose not live in the audio loneliness but rather into a strict individualism of audio. However this individualism is applica...

When you step outside of your house you have a few seconds when your senses recognize whether and to react to whether. Before your awareness tag air as cold, dry, windy, hot or wet you have that deep breathe when all your inner-you just put on line a...

Today a guy I know from south coming to my listening room to hear my payback. He is mingling with horns, he heard my installation in city and he is very much interested to hear my new listening room and the most important my new midbass horn. He actu...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

I need to say that for whatever reasons the midbass horns acts as a phenomenal tranquilizing sedative to listen some older recordings. The midbass horns make bad sound much more palatable and make attention to be much less distracted to quality of ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] I think Romy's just jealous of all those conical horns, as endorsed by "he who shall not be named..." (sorry, to me, they're the distraction when looking @ this installation. I just keep thinking how colored every conical...

[quote user="Serge"] The sound I like most was the one at Audio Tekne's room. I never listened to them before. The speakers were very ugly. I'd say extremely ugly. And 4-way, drive units arranged as if by chance. The big ugly turntable cost 53000 eur...

Attila from Hungary send me emails telling that he got CNC lathe, carver and the rest of gear and that he is very much willing to make horns. He asked: “I would like to ask your opinion, what type of horns people most need”. I find it is interesting...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...

Thanks, Dominik, an interesting driver and an interesting direction. JBL is probably one of the few large companies that that do something “pushy” with sound. Still, what they do and even if what they do objectively advantageous I am not sure that it...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]

I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installations that I have see is worthless thing to do -all Goto installation that I have seen are time-missaligned. To listen a time-misaligned horn installa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The problem is that I detect that if I record in 44/24 or 88/24 in single-wire mode but the second wire is connected from Lynx to Pacific (and the line is muted by Lynx mixer) then I do have worsening of sound quality. The ...

[quote user="tuga"] I am now more inclined to describe that sound as a portrait taken in broad daylight with some overpowering fill-in flash (I believe nowadays this technique is quite fashionable)... But the model wasn't wearing any makeup. [/quote]...

I was waiting someone last night in “Borders” and whale I was waiting I glanced through the current “Absolute Sound Magazine”. There was there a very short article with Prof. Johnson telling about his “new” HRx format. I smell some dead fish in what ...

Come on, Thomas, no one talks about the 75-85db of gain at MM level. However, the higher gain does has some things that I find is very useful and I find it is much worth to burn extra 15dB in prams then to have a preamp wide open and run photo at low...
