I think it's a DIY construction...with the arm "floating in water".I'm waiting for the idiot who would try to make the arm itself out of water.Cheers,N-set...

[quote user="Paul S"] God, this sounds like the very worst sort of DIY threads! FYI, I HATE DIY![/quote]It sounds but it does not necessarily mean that it is :) Let me try to deffend a bit my last postings:DIY is a self propelled random walk "let's ...

Hi Romy,I see why you don't like the design. And in particular, the choice of where he chose to limit the frequency responses for the two channels. I see the benefit of the DSET approach in this context as you explained it. If I understand you, your ...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

I will upload some pictures and more details when the rack is at my place in few daysand pre-assembled in it's "version 1". In the meantime, for those with masochistic tendencies, here is a diary of my ignorance on the subject: http://www.lencoheaven...

I'll be optimistic, and say that I too will one day be moving. Here's how I plan to do it; this solution is obviously not for everyone:The principle here is to not box or crate anything heavy, but to use the floor of the truck, wasting a lot of space...

[quote user="Paul Scearce"]I think I would relate my own DIY experience more with Colonel Aureliano Buendia making his golden fish. [/quote]Certainly I understand this perception and the quote in my Manifesto Section is very much not accidental. Stil...

Thank you, Romy. I suppose to the notion of generic optimization is an oxymoron: like talking about an off-the-peg bespoke suit. It is either Savile Row or it isn't.What would be desirable, however, is not to have to do it all oneself: where do...

As the builder behind these horns, I can answer some of your questions. It's true, I was primarily focused on the woodworking/building side, and now I'm experimenting with amplification and crossovers. I can't speak authoritatively on those subjects...

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...

Rick, I have been in building/construction for most of my life, and very comfortable installing the ground rod and lead-out wire, etc. Easy-peasy, if you ask me. You can drive the rod using a ladder and a demo hammer that is big enough to fit the top...

It was not so long ago that the Super Milq was a twinkle in Romy's eye,and now it has come to the point he is a strong proponent of DSET (not to be confused with DH-SET). I am always a big believer in the power of topology. I was thinking about...

I guess I would like to be able to do something better than anyone else - and still be better after 100s of years.....My take is a bit difference. When I perform with players with a Stradivarius violin, it isn't the violin that is impressive - up clo...

It surprises me if you wish to do away with the battery. Or, perhaps a unit could be offered "less battery", which the purchaser/user could add on his/her own. This would "solve" the logistical problems (and the expense) of shchlepping batteries, a...

I'm with Paul on this one. If the product exists for a reasonable price, I have no problem with buying it. I only resort to DIY when the product that I want doesn't exist (or it's too expensive). Frankly DIY takes a lot of time, and there's plenty of...

The subject of line filters and uninterruptable power supplies is one that has been pretty free of amateur DIY myths. No one seems to know what makes one sound good or bad and when. The subjects getting attention are IsolationReconstruction of sine w...

I know Romy is skeptical of DIYers who want to do everything as cheaply as they can but there are others who do things themselves since they are not satisfied with what the market provides.
I can think of one loudspeaker system, in...
