BTW, purely hypothetically, Jessie, if you have a long harrow room then did you consider to put your bass horns vertically, facing them mouth up, pretending that they are large vases? It might be a new kinky surreal home decor and you can make the th...

Hi Jessie, Thanks for reply. I am Mac based and am looking at the following idea for sending music from my computer to my audio system. The guy that builds it says that the sound is much better than he gets out of CD-playback, who knows. ...

Hi Romy:See below an interesting approach. It probably violates some of your axioms but it does seem rather promising methink, without having heard it. Maybe Jessie Dazzle knows about these and could give us the lowdown as they seem rather close to ...

Hi jessie, thanks for tip. I will clean them myself, though I was planning on having the magnet recharged at same time, and I can't do that myself... The 3in1 oil idea is too scary for me, let me know how it works for you 8-) ...

Jessie, I am still following with great interest; that is so cool!The last time I had some machining like that done I did not ask the price ahead of time. After all, how much could it be???As ever, your solutions are elegant and adaptive, and t...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Back when Fane were still in business, I ordered a pair in 16O (I don't know if there is a theoretical best choice between the two for horn loading... Any thoughts ? However, the 8O model will require a smaller coil in th...

hi jessie!why you dont make it from carbonfiber on a foambase? carbonfiber is much easier to work than glassfiber and of course gives stiffer boards. im also just working on a "surfboard" horn, but i make the bent sides with layers of depron boards a...

Jessie, are you saying that the RAID system is "quiet" with respect to regular old audible noise from the unit, itself? How is it with respect to the filthy switching backwash on the AC line and EMI/RFI broadcasting?Best regards,Paul S...

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions on RTA.Romy -- you are correct, measurements always need to be made in context of sonic experience and more importantly musical intention. For me, though, to begin the process, I need to unlearn much of wh...
