[quote user=" browellm from hifiwigwam"] "not your typical DIY moron". High praise indeed from Romy there… [/quote]
OK, I would like to make a commentary on the subject. I know that people who love to chop wood at DIYAudio site would consider...

I am usually not a big fun of somebody refer to eBay Items and I myself do it very seldom. Still, here I am as I think it is an interesting deal for someone. There is a guy out there that is damping a few of Aura RS-8.1 bass modules.

[quote user="Dominik"]I print almost all posts from this site. For last months I study them a lot. I completly suck in by Romy vision of sound reproduction. First I decied to build melquiades amplifier and give it a try with my ob setup. Next ste...

Most of you know that I built Romy's horns for him. The one thing that you may not know is Romy recently requested additional horns from me. He wanted some 250Hz tractrix horns made for an upper-midrange Vitavox S2 compression driver. Being very...

[quote user="Tax"] Your post has had the desired effect and I am doing some more research into Fane Studio 8M, 16 Ohm drivers in a 4 inch throated horn tuned to 115Hz with the intention of crossing it from 70Hz to 500Hz . This may be similar to w...

[quote user="hifitodd"] Frankly, from my perspective your stance on DPoLS mirrors that of the typical audio-moron voodooism. Here is some essentially non-obtainable state that when realized will make the listener "hypotized" by thew newfound mu...

Well, there are a few places that can re-charge the drivers, GPA can do it for sure but it is not practical in my view as to remove the drivers from attic horns and to ship them is more pain then to pay to GPA $20 to re-charge them. The re-chargi...

Yestoday I visited the NY show and I did something that did not do for 3 years: I bought a few CDs at thier audiophile’s fleamarket. I did not really need them but lately I heard a lot of positive comments about the superior quality of new SACD-relea...

[quote user="manisandher"]
Yes, understood. But does it self-terminate? If not, you will need to use a T-connector and a 75 Ohm BNC terminator at the wordclock input. [/quote]
Mani, I do not think that it is necessary to self-terminate it....

I overly impressed with the new way or routing the antenna input with my TU-X1. This tuner with this new input get amassing sensitively (much higher than original) with a nose of a good CD player – very impressive! Way more interesting as it was righ...

I always do call and speak with people. This is Internet and they write whatever they want! I always would like to confirmer that behind the web proclamations there is something else then proclamations. BTW, this Denis sounded perfectly complement an...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Romy's comments on "axial rotation" of the horns (meaning in this case, angling the horns) has me thinking. I had planned to build in a vertical tilt adjustment for horns located near the floor and ceiling... I woul...

I initial thought to place this article into my Audio For Dummies™ section but then I decided to keep it in this pure audio section. What I would like to do is to point is to address one of the major foolishness that widely spread in High-End au...

Audio people know how “live” music sounds and what impact it has to listener. Well not all of them know, and a large number of them never visited concert halls and are familiar with music only by the chest pressure that they experienced at pop-clubs ...

It is strange topic that I always had difficulties. I have a storage filed with all possible audio goodies, starting from some exotic goodies that people would chaise on junk-years for years and ending with Jimmy Hoffa’s skeleton. It is not that...

Thanks, jk
I have given a lot of thoughts to this topic lately and have a number of conversations with various people about the subject. A friend of mine from Europe, who is currently at fitness protection program, suggested that:

Jim, I know who Earl Geddes is. I think a couple years back we exchange a few emails where his attitude was that although he appreciate and mostly agree with some context of my site but he is not wiling to acknowledge it because he was afraid that an...

OK, I have the Altec 19 delivered in my second un-useful living room. I plan to do nothing with them now and will play with them sometime on winter or if somebody will come with pre-payment. Altec 19 has one (ONLY ONE) sonic positive quality (bes...

I receive an email form a visitor of my site with a “news” and was really laughing! Yes! I hate to know everything but proposed by me “The Rules of the Audio Morality Propagation” do work like a Swish watch!
It was enough of one audio cretin (...

Probably not one subject among horn enthusiasts does not arouse as much fantasies as midbass horns. This subject in one way or another was discussed at my site (look for the linked threads) but I would light look at the subject of the Midbass ho...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. [/quote]
I do not think any manufacturers “do not care about what they make and sell”. They all do, or...

What do you know; I bought yesterday an Absolute Sound at newsstand!
In the issue there was big article about the new Grand Utopia EM. I read it and I was not pleased what I read as the review was in many ways mistaken. In facts the review was...

With that Moscow guy it is not the question of his reliability but his sanity. I hope you understand
that response he gets is rather a measuring of his horn then measuring his
driver. He unfortunately neither intellectually (audio-wise) not psychol...

OK, first off all I have moved the latest posts to the “How to drive 6C33C” thread.
Regarding the operation point. My initial intention was to give Melquiades’ output as ML2 did: 175V, .310mA. What is important is to understand that for LF channel I...

Ok, I think it is it. I close the experimental phase of the MiniMe projects as I have selected and feel comfortable with MiniMe results. The MiniMe Bass section is the very original MiniMe enclosure with the very same drivers as I plane from star...

[quote user="msaudio"] Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. [/quote]
It is not my view. I wrote about it many times before...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...
