[quote user="morricab"] Interesting test you have conducted. Were the responses mostly unflat near the frequency extremes or was there variations even in the midrange? The reason I ask is because if you look at most of the published curve...

This year’s THE Show was in bustling Irvine, rather than tony
Newport Beach. The difference in the
locations is just a few miles, but it was down-market all the way, with so few exhibitors (and so few attendees) it would surprise me if the promote...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Again, it was very interesting, but… Let agree that methodologically you did not try Placette as it performance was masked out by you need to use your Neurochrome buffer to get gain. Your chain will sound as the worst eleme...

Romy,
Even using " digital dreck " ( and not knowing what " interesting imaging " might be ) my horns image very very well. Only in the sweet spot, but that's fine with me.
For instance, on good recordings I am easily able to hear/see if/when...

Well, that sucks here in Boston. WHRB is still in business but if you do not call them and explain to them that they are playing records backward they would not acknowledge it. The WCRB is gone, that is good but the WHRB move to the WCRB frequenc...

This post requires a dual preamble.
First preamble relates to me smiling when some people trying to push a point that there are not great performances nowadays and whatever was great have gone with the era of Furtwänglers, Klemperers, Toscaninis, Ce...

This miserable Japanese freaks did it again!

Last week I did not have a change to play music home but during this weekend I eventually had a change to spin some records. I bought last week a record that I was hunting for a while and was eagerly expected to hear it. It was Nicolay Golovanov’s pe...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

I heard today the Magico Model 6 loudspeakers about which the audio industry pimps of all calibers created so much stink lately. I did not have a chance to listen Magico extensively: a little guy who felt the he owed the room begun to jump in my ...

People, keep asking me about the sound of Melquíades and I feel strange as I really can’t not explain how it sounds. It does not make any sense as I initiated this thread with the objective to explain or at least to inform about the Melquíades’ sound...

In terms of the length of the horn, I'm allowing myself a total height of 7'6" (just below the average ceiling height of 8'). In regards to the mouth diameter, that's another matter. (It appears that I will have to build two [2] different...

While I feel like the layout of an orchestra is a sort of sacred thing, I will never the less put forth the following question :
Is the layout of an orchestra time aligned?
Whenever I attend a performance where classical music is played by an orc...

[quote user="rowuk"]Amir,In live music, we have intermodulation. Two trumpets or a trumpet and oboe playing together create sum and difference tones that change depending on pitch interval for instance. For music in major keys, this intermodulati...

This kind of freakish subject and the title of this thread is most likely is very misleading. Commonly the term “last something” is used as “best of the best” after which there is nothing else to explore. This definition grotesquely stink with heavy ...
