[quote user="be"]They mention an intricate back chamber for the high frequency unit, maybe thats the primary function of the tube, apart from positioning the unit relative to the rest.[/quote]
I did not read any their descriptions and I do not know ...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

Steve, I would encourage you to “get” the following.
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=432and to expose to this imperative rule your recent excitement about the plasma tweeters. The fact that you heard something that you enjo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, I guess you do not measure flux if are getting. You might measure sensitivity and we might presume what when perm magnets has the same sensitivity as electromagnets then the drivers have the same magnetic flux density. ...

[quote user="cv"] Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; your comments elsewhere on the Nolas and ribbons in general had me loathe to make any recommendations. I think we may have very different tastes in terms of tre...

Bud, the replacement diaphragms are available all time. On Ebay and everywhere else they are being sold by Bob Crites. He holds the original manufacturing rig and he can do them in unlimited quandaries. I own the original diaphragms but I do not use ...

[quote user="CO"]Why such a wide angle? To keep the highs evenly spread and match to the angles of other chanels ofcourse but this will call for much more attention to room setup/treatment.Wouldnt this also lose some of the horn magic by letting the ...
|
Definitely a good read, once again revealing that Romy has done his homework. Even though I was born and raised in a small town in the USA, I have half-Japanese heritage and I consistently "scored" Japanese on the tests in the aforementioned di...

Ah, those figures seem more reasonable - 30pF seemed a bit low. Well, I'm not sure what you should be on the lookout for - as you say, it's a completely different animal to having a 3uF in line with the S2. What I would suggest, and this isn't ...
|
In the past you've referred to current loading in the context of cable length. I recently experienced this when I experimented with moving my amps. I needed to increase the IC length from 1 meter to 3 meters. The only IC I had at that length was an o...
|
The MiniMe, as much as the rest of my playback have lost the “novelty”. I do not do or planning to do anything with audio. I have found the way to calm down my Focal tweeters and it… will die this way. For what MiniMe meant to be it does very goo...

I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. I can get roughly 70Vrms out of it. Output stage clips first, driver continu...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Here is the link:http://www.rank-concept.deI have no experience with the Lamm ML-series, I just listened to an M-series hybrid amp combined with the Watt/Puppy 8. This performance was a single fake (though a pleasant one). I can´t...

Hi Jorge, Marc, Adrian, Romy et al,First off, Jorge what's your asking price on the modified DEQX ? Which model is it ? Who did the mods and what are they ? I am very interested.Adrian, as I recall you live in San Francisco. You are sti...

[quote user="Paul S"]Where MODERN electrolytics shine is specifically for PS use[/quote]
I have to agree with it. Furthermore when I agree I back up my word with actions. This morning right after I posted my post above I opened the amps and ...
|
Cody, this is a kinder, gentler GSC than in earlier times, but FYI your ingenuous intro is just the sort that used to draw heavy fire here. The only reason I have responded at all is because you got me thinking about what I do and don't like about el...

I helped Romy shuffle around some hardware and connect some cables yesterday. That damned table weighs about 100.000 pounds. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see live, in-person how Romy thinks about audio and incorporates th...
|
Alas, not much time to deliver the promised treatise...So, tantalisingly, I will suggest this; for the range 1k up, you would have no problem getting a small mumetal OPT made suitable for the 6C33/S2 combination. Actually, I have something simil...
|
I still would hesitant to short the scene and anode and it would require a very sever control of the tubes. The problem is that it would be necessary to do not only then they new (it not too difficult to put then before a fast scope and to see if the...
|
That's one big tweeter, Romy, and, typically, it was made that big only because they intended for it to go low. I keep wondering about the effects of the extra mass, if nothing else, but also about dispersion and window blind effects ...
|
Hi Romy,I think you may be struggling to get 10-12db of gain out of a spud amp (the term is a play on "one tuber").... May just about get it with 6C45.... remember you will be stepping down something like 12 to 18:1 on the OPT.best case: 10db require...
|
well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

[quote user="jeff1225"] …"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. [/quote] Shure, Jeff, I know what most rooms, if not all, at a trade show are not suppose to be...

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, ...

Johan, I understand what you are saying. This is kind of James’ barn thread and if you do not mind can you share with him one thing, I think that many others, including me, would be interested to learn the answer to this question: What did you gain g...

Hello Romy,
I just saw the photos - looks like fantastic work by Aleks.
As for the gift - well, if the project is a success and me and other S2 users can buy tweeters with that spec and sound , and without the risk and R&D costs - surely that's a g...

I bought those tweeters for Be Yamamura (second hand from Paul at Wembly Loudspeakers, in London) I also took Be to Heathrow Airport to take a plane to Brazil to install one of his truly superb VT4c stereo amps! It was the morning of a great wind ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Not this year they won't be, that show is in September.Romy, Kevin at Living Voice has been using 'your' S2 since 1992. I understand these speakers have the first of the new Mike Harvey S2's fitted.I'm not sure what the th...

It’s a bit offtopic, but:[quote user="Paul S"] I haven't seen anything like this in over a decade, and I don't have the patience to wait until I find and acquire something like this, IF it exists. [/quote]The problem is that it does not exist… Simply...
