[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I just paid attention that The Denon DL-103M is available from Denon for a little over $220 and I feel that it is a very much ultimate Denon among all that I had.[/quote] Well, going through the jungles of the “Denon’s ...

Following on from my last two posts, I finally managed to try the Model Two in AD mode. With the Model Two set to 24/4fs and wordclock master, I cannot discern a difference between the source and the source passing through the Model Twos AD/DA. Furth...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

The units that i put in my pictures JBL AND ALTEC A7 both designs have a resonance just like all wood that you would rap your nuckels on even 2 inch thick plywood will resonate at a given frequency, that goes for glass, cement, metal, they all do...

[quote user="Bud"] I have a really barbaric suggestion... of course. I can set you up with 8 lLinaeum, soft, live horn, dipole tweeters. Stacking 4 per side should see you at 103 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms of impedence. You can stack them without inte...

Romy,I am truly sorry about the scarcity of sundried tomato bagels in Boston. Without being an expert in culinary matters, if it can be produced by the mere press of a button, maybe they were not that great after all and nothing is missed from not se...

Hm, I just paid attention that over 1000 people have reviewed this thread… I’m keep receiving emails form people who feel “insulted” that I did not keep the popular DL103 and DL103R at the level of respect as it treated by those Audiogon intel...

Actually the popular stiff Denons (103, 103R) with compliance of 5 need no less the 35g of effective mass, but even this mass will not help them. The Shelter has a “normal” compliance, I do not remember how much exactly but I think that it is somewhe...

Ahoy there Thorsten, you took your time getting here!
Yes, obeissance in the general direction of Huntingdon. Ol' TdeP certainly made a Grand Master move with the 834. Building with the air variables will allow tuning for the 102 very nicely too.

Okay, my point was not really the cost and not really even the magnets. (though I was surprised they were that cheap) Just the justification, but hey when has the 'high-end' needed any justification.When I was a dreamy youth there was exotica out the...

Klaus,
The 515-8GPH were in same scale as the 515G with slightly above 35Hz resonance frequency and 103 sensitivity - a very good candidate for 60Hz horn. The 10” throat? No bolls to go for 9”, how about 8”? I’m just kidding. The throat ...

[quote user="Merlin"] Absolutely inadequate for desiphering the subjective sound quality yes - all we can deduce is that the system has a maximum sensitivity of 98db/w at best, and quite possibly less. As do many fine loudspeaker systems.

Starboy,
looking at your reply in the Denon-103 thread, and considering that you are from UK, I conclude that you are well-familiar with Ortofones. Can you tell me more about them?
I never had them personally, I had in past a inexpensive Ortofone ...

Romy,
Thanks for your comments. My plan is to seal the horns once I get them all (all 8 of them) to the "ready-for-finish" state (still a lot of work to do). At that point I will try contacting John.
In the mean time, I've acquired very solid r...
