In the Thread: RAAL “Water Drop” tweeter for Macondo.
Post Subject: The Water Drop: What is possible when it possible.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/20/2007

I had today a couple listening sessions with the Water Dropped Macondo. It was amassing and …. a little strange . The tweeter does whatever I was expected from my imaginary “conceptually-perfect” tweeter but it also it does something new for me, taking the entire presentation to a very own direction. Frankly I was not expected and was not prepared for this result. I was expected just a very good tweeter and by means of it to good a supplement for my MF Vitavox S2. However, the Water Drop does more then that. Behind the benefits for entire playback improvement (I will take about it most likely in details later when I have time) the tweeter serves also as a powerful educational tool, demonstrating what is possible when it is possible. The most important, the tweeter shows what other methods of Sound influence to awareness are possible in sound reproduction. I was thinking about it a lot today as the Water Drop clearly showed some new possibilities and new opportunities. Some of theose possibilities I welcome with a violent enthusiasm, others I do not know yet. I need to think about all of it for a while. Whatever my further finding will be the extrasensual experiences that I got today with the Sound clearly justified to me the expenditure of the entire Water Drop project.

This amassing  Water Drop’s ability  to completely eliminated high frequency from sound reproduction and enable the brain do not review the credibility of Sound from HF perspective is not new to me but I never seen any transducer that does it as strongly and as convincing as  the Water Drop does. That “Room Dithering” by the Water Drop combined with it’s completely not registerable by consciousness reproduction efforts is very fascinating. In addition I realized today that the Water Drop’s idiosyncratic elimination of the high frequency makes sound actually overly dramatic and filled with anxiety. It is like those feelings of coming summer rain when a few seconds before the first rain drop the air loaded with electivity, fear and anticipation. The Water Drop somehow change the air in the room with the same “quality of eagerness” and that makes “sound openings” in the room … quite dramatic.

Those things are is hard to understand to whomever did not experience it from an artificial media and particularly it is hard to understand for the people who did not talk to me personally and who are not tuned to my communication manners. Whoever lives in Boston I am sure will be witnessing it and I feel that to witness what the Water Drop does with sound in context of Macondo/Milq is very much worth to sell tickets…

It will be continuing more when I feel I’m ready to share more….
