Arno, I have plenty at my site that describes in great detains why and what I do not like in idea of single driver with back-loaded horn. Build it and hear what you will be getting. The software you are irrelevant. There are no intended or not inte...

How did you determine that it is the horn. What makes you think that you can damp a horns mouth at 200 Hz. Have you never read what a room does to frequencies under 400 Hz? If not, check this site out: http://amroc.andymel.euMaxx, I think that you ar...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

Well, rowuk, I still do not think that when you are talking about what you are taking about then you are talking about standing wave. The standing waves are nothing more than persistent room gain. I think when you are talking about what you are talki...

For horns mounted on or near the floor, we have a phantom image below the floor plane. In theory, this means we could make that horn a half circle or similar, with a tremendous advantage in real estate. The theoretical advantages of reduced diffracti...

While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms? So far, results I've he...

Anthony, irrespectively of all the extreme acrobatics you are doing with the inner damping and the structural isolation, sound wave hitting your tubescan multiply all your work by zero. As simple as that. Big tubes = big inner structure structure = l...

Thanks to both of you for your responses; I didn't know of this software. Very intersting... I'm definitly going to download the demo trial and see how it compares. Probably won't get to it before the weekend; I whipped myself into an all-night OCD l...

Now, this subject made me remember (apparently) Supermicro do custom motherboards, even just one.Would be interesting to try a very minimal motherboard with a very low clocked processor, PCIe M.2 support (or even DOM module), RDIMM, and with just a I...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

I put a couple small files form today broadcast. Generally I screed it up and I have learned later on that some of the sound cards setting might be better, the recording level at the AD was 8dB less then it should be and as it turned out that I have ...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

As there was talk on the BW Broadcast RBRX1 receiver here, I thought this might be of interest:I have bought a new DSP-based tuner, and it is unlike any other I have used before. I had sort of distantly lusted after the BW Broadcast RBRX1, but ne...

Hi Romy,I am new to your site. I have read some of your postings (including other sites) with much gusto.For the digital LP recording, I am (was) tempted to do the same, but given the fact that I have absolutely no personal experience in digital audi...

Any computer does absolute the same level of universality by being a digital file player. My telephone does it but I do not call my telephone a “digital transport”. Ripping CD it is not what your devise does but the fr...

Hi Paul! I'm sorry but I simply can't make any sense of what you are asking....Anyway, all the software has been designed by Paul R, I had no contribution here(Paul has contacted me asking for sampel of my EMT when the soft was already done)and is ba...

Petrasescu_Lucian,
I perfectly understand your sentiments. There are unquestionable differences in operation between 1050 and 2000 but I do not know if it is the differences due to the topological differences or due to implantation differences...

Sure I am!!!! Just tell me where to get those free transfers hahahaha ;-) Unfortunately I don't have interesting dubs from my local broadcasts as yet to share, but hopefully there will be some soon. Maybe in a couple of months, but don't expect great...

Hi Romy,I've downloaded the files, which have the w64 extension. This AFAIK is a propietary Sony's Soundforge format. I've played them with that software, but it won't accept playing using the "bypass" to use only souncard's routines and uses Windows...

If not for my current engagement with a race against the clock and the resulting manic situation, I'd offer to do the modeling work for you. As it is, I'm working flat out while symultaneously preparing for a very long-distance move. This situation h...

Hello Romy!I suspect that Sony intentionally astablished a poor conversion algorithm, as well. I don`t think there more than a hand full SACDs that have a separately recorded/mastered PCM layer, maybe some more that use an other (non-Sony) ...

I think that we need some standard interfaces on our playback gear to log operating parameters. Temperature, Gm, current, voltage. On loudspeakers maybe temperature/impedance, for digital playback I would like to see jitter, correction, transcoding e...

Here is my suggestion:1. Generate a flat template for an oblique cone, easily done using the free software here: http://www.tyharness.co.uk/cones/cones.htm2. Roll a sheet of black clay, at the required thickness, and cut out the flattened cone shape....

It's a very novel sensation for me to be arguing that 'bits are bits'! But its very simple to prove categorically that the binary data on the disc is identical to the ripped version.More importantly, where there are errors, they are punctiliar and ra...
