with his photo and comments on his Technics SP10.Inexperienced imbecile that I am in participating in thread discussions, my question went into limbo (and thank you for responding to it).And thanks to you, I bought the SPU Mono some time back and now...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I don't know to what extent they've tried to apply the Naturflux thinking to the Field Coil circuit. It would not surprise me if that was much more difficult to do. It may have made the costs far too high. I don't know. [/q...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] In your earlier piece about how to use the S2 'properly' you wrote
"Whatever happens between the 400 and 2,5 is pretty much unnecessary for you garbage. So, get any known to you soft capacitor of 3uF and place it in serie...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Surely one of the objectives of this site is to allow people to be guided towards good sound by discussing the issues involved in getting there. Whether that entails discussing the merits of different recordings or perform...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I don't doubt for a moment that there are plenty of people 'who know' who will wax lyrical about the benefits of open loop eq in feedback circuits. There are people 'who know' who will tell me that valve amplifiers cannot ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. [/quote] I would expect this horn to go much lower, let say doe to 150Hz. You if it was a front firing horn without loading to a boundary...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Can you describe how your vinyl playback and conventional CD playback fall short of what you are getting from FM? [/quote]
Guy, you are asking a resemble question but what do you expect me to say? Do you expect me to conv...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'm sure there are many bad implementations of the 845 and 211. Almost all of the commercially available ones are pretty mediocre. However I have heard good examples of both so I know it can be done. [/quote]
Actually I d...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I feel very pleased for you. I was always somewhat puzzled by your descriptions of how you felt the S2 sounded, particularly between 600 and 1200 Hz. My experiences with a few different horns but always with a good quality...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] …there are some decent products out there although it seems that in your view those products are the result of happy accidents … [/quote]
Hm, this is a good way to look at the reality of the things….

Hi Guy, [quote user="guy sergeant"]My experience with the 834p stemmed from having one at home for about a year soon after it was launched. I did try different types of ECC83 in it which did change it's balance slightly but not enough to make me like...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. [/quote]
I do not think any manufacturers “do not care about what they make and sell”. They all do, or...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] If the intention was to give people an experience of how large scale music/sound reproduction was or could have been 70 or 80 years ago, then the arrangement they chose was probably quite successful. A modern LF system wou...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Sorry, I have a better understanding of the purpose of this exercise now.Are you making 2 new platters or is one to be the existing Micro Platter? [/quote]
Nope, juts adding RX-5000 platter and base to the existing RX-8000...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I've usually found valve rectifiers to sound preferable. [/quote]
For HF channels only. Still with shaft switch diodes and properly implemented input choke filters there is not advantages of tube rectification, quite oppo...

[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…

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I suppose the question then is, does the SL600 then sound more correct than your normal system with 'better' amplifiers? Don't you still find the sound of the woofer to be too smeared, slow and dark? [/quote]
Actually the...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have looked at the Feastrex website. The picture you show is of one of their permanent magnet drivers. This uses their Naturflux magnetic circuit. Mr Akiyama's quote also refers to one of these permanent magnet drivers s...

I.e. seek "louder" as if they wear permanent ear-plugs[quote user="guy sergeant"]The record companies demand that sound engineers make the recordings so that the band sounds as loud (noticeable) as possible when played on the radio. Music recorded in...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] There's alot to learn putting a new system into an unfamiliar room. [/quote] …and I would add: the unfamiliar drivers with unfamiliar amplifiers. It is trippy how SET amps could be loaded with different drivers and produce...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] If so I would say that they typically offer a lighter, unfettered presentation of timbre & dynamic range across the full frequency range provided that the HT and LT supplies allow them to. This has been most noticeable...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfTFTI4DvKU [/quote]I have to admit that I just watched this clip with the Cat on turntable 20 times and can’t help myself. To me, to watch Cats is the most cherished time in my life. Just to...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have heard Lamm ML2's in a couple of different people's home systems. Did they know how to use them properly? Well either they didn't (quite possible) or the amplifiers simply lacked the virtues I would prefer. [/quote]

[quote user="enjoy_the_music"] Making a vacuum hold down is quite simple, but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666? I guess the material used in the latter is not the ultimate. You don't need a great amount of vacuum ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Having said that I've never heard a properly working WE555 or 594 either and given the problems of getting the S2 to work well I can't imagine there are many installations using those drivers with the right sort of horns t...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Can't say I share your fondness for either of the Koetsu or Shelter cartridges either (or especially the Denon 103!) None of these are top class in my humble opinion. [/quote] I sorry, I never was a fan of Denon-...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Again I get the impression that attempting to link 'serious music' as a pre-requisite to 'serious playback' is over intellectualising matters. … The equipment, of course, doesn't know what kind of noise it is being asked t...

Guy,
I think you misunderstood or misapply the main point that I was trying to make in my reply. The problem with the participants in the audio industry is not within thier own personal level of Moronity (although is it very frequently is the case) ...
