The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

[quote user="drdna"] It is a very old idea to say that higher power is required for good bass response. I do not think you will get any argument from anyone that increased power makes finding solutions to achieve a good bass response easier. [/quote]...

I did put some gasketing under the driver, not thought but to so what it will do. I used the substance that I described above. It is Home Depot 3207680110 or the model #DS110 Pug duct seal by GB Electrical. The best thing about it that it is that pla...

Hi,Thanks for the response. I came here through searching for
music, specifically the 'Computer on the radio' music that was posted
before...and i know one or two names so it seems.My post was just to introduce myself, apologies if it was off-topic...

hi Koshka Sr...the reply has been illustrative as usual... when you> finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range. :-) yes, but then we have residency....5, maybe 7 years of *relative* poverty :-O > When you ent...

I would like do not shape this article as a review: I do not write “reviews” religiously and I have many re...

[quote user="cv"]The point of the field coil is to saturate the piss out of the magnetic circuit so that the coil flux does not modulate the motor. Romy, I suspect that your experience of them may be based on an older drivers where saturation was not...

[quote user="Paul S"] Not to "sell" Milquiades, but how (other than multi-channel and bandwidth limiting) would an SET not crap out full range? Even the "big" ones just give out at too soon, and they can't maintain balance under any sort of pre...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
building a ver...

[quote user="Macman"]Just realised that I had dual highpass filters on the TH, which more or less cut off frequencies below 50Hz entirely. A lot better now, still much to be made of course.[/quote]
This is very normal. People get the “building...

Someone at AA’ sewers posted his measurements of Edgarhorn system, supplemented with a subwoofer and Fostex Tweeter. I do not know the poster personally, most likely he is another AA’s advice seeker – means another idiot - and therefore it is ha...
|
CV, Good scenario as well but my leading idea is slightly different. I would like to keep any reactance from the path, would it be inductive of capacitive, to assure ultra fast response time. Basically I would like to maintain the MF amp as it used ...

I always say do not stress them they do not like it and I always hate third bass. The 10” are particularly are fragile with a power handling of a few watts. It is applicable pretty much to any lover MF driver that pushed to work with the “open b...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player...
|
Yes, Paul, I got your points and I find them valid. It is hard to explain what I’m interested in. When I try to convey those ideas then to people are under faulty presumption that I looking for some custom coloration, like SPU or Tannoys form 50...

At some point last year, after I had been offered an opportunity to buy some Vitavox S2 drivers from someone in Paris, and some S3s from Germany, I decided to approach Mike Harvey of Octave Audio, AKA Vitavox Hifi, to get some information about how I...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is unquestionably an ambiguous project. The topmost question that I would ask myself after this project would be the following: can Milq-biased 6E5P to be as good (sound-wise) DC driver as some vintage direct heated tube...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Celsius, I do not know what CCS you impended, did you drive 6e5p’s plate with constant current source?*1 I also do not know/like 6e5p with battery bias. The only application that I find 6e5p suitable was the Milq-style bi...

We have tested live recordings against live sound, a recording of a jazz singer was done on Reel tape on an Ampex ATR modded machine with Fluxmagnetics heads etc. The microphone used was the legendary Telefunken stereo tube mic. no post producti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Perhabs, wlowes. Might I ask you: when you refer to “sonic improvements”, “brought more life to the music”, deep quiet background and etc then what do you mean? What I am trying to say is that your rational might be logica...

[quote user="marknoir"]Hello Romy
I like Shelters as well, so I finally scrubbed-up enough money and began to search. I was always happy with 901, but there were none around. Last night I got a 90X, with (supposedly) around 100 hrs on it, with...

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I would discard the test disk truck– I never use it. Take a silent space between the cuts (test disk!) and make a needle at your operational VTF to be in stationary ay a bit more than a half record.In fact it is ar...

It has nothing to do with thread but with the fact, the facts that I am experienced. I have no exposure or familiarity with Yoshi Sugano’a cartridges but I know one guy who very much likes Koetsu and use then all his live. In fact he encouraged m...

[quote user="de charlus"]Alas, I am too young to have that whole "Mirrorphonics nostalgia" coloring my taste in sound reproduction - still, this is not to say that it cannot be investigated. [/quote] Actually the "Mirrorphonics nostalgia" that some p...

I never had a lot of trouble with high transconductance tubes. I use the EC8020 a lot. Stefano, you might look into this EC8020. I never seen it but just looked into the datasheet and it looks very interesting tube and i...

[quote user="drdna"]What specific objectives did the air caps address in the circuit? You refer to the tempted virtue sound but I am unsure as to the goals that you were trying to achieve with this circuit alteration?[/quote]Adrian,

Mani, interest in using Pacific as the only all-time on DAC revised my interest in pacific D/A converter section. I consider it as a great 16bit DAC and very good 24Bit DAC. The reason I did not elevate in my appraisal Pacific DAC to great status...

Very sad to hear it. My condolences to his finally. I hope Vladimir eventually got peace in the end of his life. I did not talk to him for over 1o years and I do not know what he was all about last years. The last contact I had with him it was I ...

I have a lot of places within my site where I, in one or other way, spread propaganda about horn-loaded loudspeakers. Frankly speaking, if I were an “ordinary audiophile” then I would look at the Romy the Cat’s exuberance about horns and perceive it ...
