That is very funny. Last few days I made some appearance at AA’s High Sensitively Forum. The circus has gone but the clowns still there….
What the remarkable dumbness infected with an extraordinary accumulation of the audio-Morons of all calib...

Scott, Do not pay any attention to the moron advice given on the Audio Asylum. The issue is not with the quantity of the power you have, it is with the quality of power you have. Genn makes some very good points. Most circuits...

Sounds like a great tube. Stu just found a bunch in his stash and asked about them on asylum - totally unrelated to this post. Gold pins, superb construction, etc. So it must be something special. Could be great for your mic p...

There's B D at http://www.bd-design.nl/Also a chap who claimed to have molds for 150 & 200 tractrix and [url=http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=hug&m=105942]posted[/url] to that effect at the Asylum.There's also a Belgian called Phil ...

Hi Romy, I've read several of your posts on audio asylum where you indicate the L2 is far to superior to the L1. More recently on this site you wrote, "the X-factor of L1 (the ancestor of L2, that BTW was way better preamp from many perspec...

that Romy exist at all. Nobody really saw him nor heard his system. Information is scarce and coming almost exlusively from The Cat himself. Personaly, I suspect that "Romy" is a collaborative effort of sadomasicist who run Audio Asylum .It is some s...

Welcome, Harold. Just guessing, but it sounds like you have not read very much of the site, as of your post. I recommend you try "reading up" (there's a lot to read here), then try a more focused question, one that includes more "background", anyway....

Yes. For prototyping.I found out that Luxman built an 8-tube unit exactly like it.I borrowed a picture from the net: www.webbtjanst.se/temp/2003.jpeHowever I think it might be interesting to build one, with decent pots, 6dB filters and 6 buffers afte...

I couldn't figure out where to put this but this thread came to mind. ( a post which i loved by the way)tube phase plug from Decware. http://www.decware.com/newsite/images/dfr6%20006.jpg I actually used to appreciate this guy.. partly because he didn...

I think this Mike is the same guy that is/was an Audio Asylum member that years ago had the Tenor amps driving some of those terrible sounding Kharma speakers, then traded them for some Magico or whatever and now seems to have the Alexandrias... I be...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Good link, Kris. What is missing in the link is the RL filters. The RC Low-pass filters are fine as the capacitors are not in the band-pass mode. It is arguable what would be better – a subtractive shunting cap or a few mi...

Here are a few answers1. a, 84 Hz b, 4.8 inches square c, Hyperbolic exponential, T 0.8 1/2 Pi d, none so far on upper bass horn. S2 and 2405 have series capacitors feeding them. e, Eminence Kappa 12. 4. Both tweeter and S2 ca...

i certainly know a lot of 'audiophiles' with a vast array of gear-- some good, some bad -- but i think there are a variety of reasons people are so confused about what constitutes good sound.one of the most heinous- outside public opinion- ...

Morning Mr. Natural Brian - be careful - you never know who's watching ... "Why, wasn't stock *H*I*F*I* enough for him? "You're getting the wrong idea about this . Anyway , it's not ruby , more sapphire, but I agree they're similar . ...

I've been reading these comments for years now, and it's getting pretty tired. So I think it's about time someone spoke up.I've done some work with Mr. Walker, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic wor...

Being a Russian by birth and inheriting all typical for Russian masochism I sometime visit the High Efficiency Speakers Asylum, laughing me sick tail off. Between the fresks in there patting each other and the mercantile cretins who pose themselv...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

I just was pointed out to an interesting article at 6 moons describing people built 23Hz horn.

I did not read it yet careful and look forward to read it with interest, to ana...

[quote user="skushino"] Being new to subs, isn't there an obvious danger of over loading this little room with too much bass energy? [/quote]Where did you get this bogus notion? What does it mean: “loading this little room with too much bass energy”....
|
fair enough- you're absolutely right, i didn't!it's difficult to get that perspective on sonics without legitimate guideposts-- even with a lifetime of playing and recording music, it's difficult to know what the parameters of recorded sound ar...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

John, a few corrections for start
First of all the gullible and moronic are not interchangeable words and I never use one instead of other. Second Audio Note Ginga does not look like traditional Micro. It has oil suspension and God knows what ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] 7. 4.8" x 4.8"[/quote]
Hm, and you used 12” driver with 4.8" x 4.8" thought? With you look for 6”-8” driver and Fs drivers. I know it would be very hard to find them with near 100dB sensitivity…

There was yesterday somebody at the Audio Asylum sewers, asked about possibility of building a multi-way horn installation but he did not want to cut own horns. I posted a reply that the AA dirt of course was vandalized. I intended it to and replay p...

[quote user="JLH"] Other than being completely ridiculous in appearance, this guy didn’t even bother to time align any of the drivers. [/quote]
This exactly what is the most fun in that system! Sometime people do not do the time alignment because it...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...
