I got from web someone’s pictures of how that dam Russky arm was looking in the turntable. I think some of you would be looking and wondering…
Anyhow, 3 year later after spending some time with this arm I found myself to run this arm very lit...

Romy,you might have read more than 3 words only of my Bartók posting, and what you are now posting is EXACTLY what I was on about when I said: "Bartók can stir emotional reactions, that can take one back to pictures and related feeling way back into ...

I think it is time, today being both my birthday and the day when I received the first updates from Russ regarding the frames for my 'Rakeshorns' system, for an update. The idea behind the frame was to have a construction that both provided a fai...

[quote user="haralanov"] Also instead of using electrical tape, try to seal the back of the driver with a 2mm thick sheet of microperforated tonewood and then glue a leather layer over it. Then you could also pierce multiple tiny holes in the leather...

[quote user="vinylithicum"]Here are some of my observations regarding the Wolf von Langa RCA 1428 replica. I long time wondered where mr. von Langa gets his phase correction elements and the diaphragm for his RCA 1428 replica. It's obvious that a nic...

I would like to share a concept that is not widely understood or even not formulated in mind of many audio people but something the has a tremendous importance to me personaly. The readers of my site know that I do not like the concept of dedicated ...

Thorsten Loesch who came up with the mods, details what caps and why on the first page of this thread. Lacking interest for multiple years of auditioning caps, I just built it that way (2012 or so) and have had no urge to change anything. Romy has pi...

People like to talk about William Kapell but at always make me confused. I did not know Kapell, I heard his recordings, and they did very little to me. The one album that I felt was “keeper” was Kapell’s “Pictures…” from 1951. It was not end of the w...

Firstly, no form of criticism was implied, why at all? Bartók just seems to give you some form of 'empty notion' perhaps, as does Brahms with me. I discussed this subject earlier today with my audio friend who would share your take on Bartók but does...

Hi Measet,The original platter for the RX-5000 was gun metal which I replaced with a platter with a similar platter to Wellington's weighing about 50 lbs. , the other table came from Japan with a original stainless platter made by Micro Seiki (rare)...

[quote user="Jorge"]I will be dubiuos about the slanted enclosure if not done properly, all drivers must be time aligned and since they are playing the same frequency, deficiencies in time alignment become more obvious. I made a slanted enclosure b...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

Thanks for detailed answer. I'll go for 316L. So I would not worry about magnet issue, especially because also I use CU-180 or Audio Technica AT-666EX mat (air suction type).
As my taste is closer to steel I have plan to make also the 316L version...

I wonder if anyone recognizes the drivers of the Cessaro Horn Acoustics? I thought that I know all of them but looking at Cessaro’s compression driver I have no idea what it is and I feel that my ego severally hurts. The pictures on the Cessaro site ...

Hello Adrian,
I added this paper as an interesting read for our discussion of "the point-source" and I think that the pictures are clear and informative enough on that subject.
There's also there's mentioning of several aspects of speaker design ...

Hello, Ulf.
Interesting. The TAD1201H is 12-incher with resonant frequency of 50Hz. It has relatively low resonant frequency for 100Hz Tractrix midbass but you most like used 10” thought and consequentially shorter horn. The shorter horns beam...

The Japanese Christopher Witmer posted at the Sewers some finny pictures of another Klangfilm “invention”. It is hardly could be imagined more bogus design for a two way horn systems – no wonder that people hate horns…

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

It is kind of customary that I am bitching about the reviewer’s Moronity; unfortunately they do provide always a very fruitful ground. I do not have a lot of expectation from those publications and mostly look at the pictures and read one or two para...

[quote user="unicon"]Since you added a new parameter in audio play back called : Decor I'm afraid, it may make it far too hard. [/quote]I agree but it I do not think that it would change my mind. Perhaps “décor” is not right word however; it is not...
