Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Chris, I do not do “service” to anybody. I said  what I said and what I feel

I do not use phenolics in MF and as I understand nether Steve Schell. In fact I do not think that it would be a good choose for MF driver. The carbon fiber from my point of view is very controversial material and particularly for a driver that pretend to do HF. If you experimented with tonearms then you might observe that as soon the pipe has any carbon fiber in it then it deaden the arm sound at inhumane degree. I’m afraid that carbon fiber would be too much self-absorbing material and will eat a lot of “tonal idiosyncrasy” and dynamic transients. It is in a way how the Schell’s drivers sounded and ironically it was how the original RCA sounded when I herd them (although it was too difficult to say anything defiantly about the originals RCAs as that installation was way sub-capable)

Sure, no one would be able to say it defiantly but you will be and it looks like that you will be very soon. When I spoke with Rich about it I proposed to make their carbon cone alike the Görlichs drivers with aluminum external impregnations. I think it would make then interestingly-ringy…. In the end, if Steve Schell do pursuit more interesting sound then “juts Sound” then it feel that current Schell carbon fiber cone for MF driver is not his last one…
