Erno Borbely is well-know man from Germany whose company develop and sell kits for DIY audio amateurs. In mid 90s Borbely made an attempt toward the 6C33C. I have to admit that there are a many moments in Borbely 6C33C amp design that I do not like. ...

Yes primarily i viseted Thomas to compare tonearms, he has a couple of Schroeders, the new graham Phantom ( mark III ) a vintage Ortofon amongst others. and he has a fine collection of cartridges, as I mentioned he is a very nice guy, The real surpri...

[quote user="unicon"] If I were you I would set up all things so that when the mid bass is in his place i can reconfigure the baffle tightness by using a huge DIY made screwdriver from the opening mouth...or wherever it can be reachable
then ...

Can't help with the plywood source , I'd like to buy some for myself for that price . Transition piece I'd do from stacked plywood layers screwed and glued together and cut with jigsaw. The way John Hasquin built your upperbass horns .He posted t...

Yes, I understand Bud that anything might be done but I do not want any DIY solution. To deal with all of the shielding, with grounds… I do not want to be involved into all of it. Also, the transformer shall sit at the RCA exit jacks of phono cable. ...

Twogoodears, What you are experimentation now has yet nothing to do with DPoLS. You deal with the relatively rudimental ceremony of speaker positioning. It is not even close to the subject of DPoLS but it is also greatly neglected by majority of peop...

Hello rowukI am very curious whether u have ever listened our system, or had ever seen our system.I believe u didn't study my system well, so I don't know why u knew our system would have extreme room for improvement.I am curious whether u know many ...

Romy, thanks for taking the time to write a little about your history with Melquiades and diy. In some ways our stories are quite similar. My background is agriculture. My family breed cattle and grow crops and I am a large part in that ...

Apologies for DIY flavour, but what, I wonder, do people make of the following technique for damping relatively thin-walled large horns, in pseudocode...For horn length x = at throat to at mouth Take a length of y mm diameter braided cable sleevi...

Paul, I would not touch this beast without modeling it firstat least to see if the electron flow is +/- what I'd expect. The eventual sonics are of course hard to predict form the model FFT's. The only hints are some posts at DIY audio and few words ...

That sure looks like an interesting configuration for a change , all right, but are those "ceramic" drivers, or what? Does anyone know?What's with all the "space age" materials these days? I mean, are people actually listening or do they just "...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

How things come into our lives can impact how we react to them over time, and playback is no different. I was adamant that I did not want to fully develop a diy system from scratch because that could be too much learning and immersion in the "proces...

Wise words that mirror my own renewed concerns, Romy.Any recommendations for a particular tester, anyone? The last time I put my hands on a tester to use it was in a drugstore, one of the many places you could find them back in the day when rad...

You are very welcome! Keep in mind however, that I do not pretend that my "sound" is anything special at this stage--I'm very much on thebeginning of a long journey, progressing slowly. What I offer is a chance to listen to O2MkI with a +/- advanced...
|
Yes, I was thinking about lether too. Felt is also an option. However they both seem to me not"viscoleastic" enough and good primarly at HF, while the damped steel profile vibratesmainly at LF. I was thinking about solutions for car deadening either ...
|
I agree completely drdna. I think the current editor of Stereophile is setting the tone...he is known to be an opportunist...in fact if you read some of Peter Aczel's criticisms of him in the past, he, along with pearson & others, are the ultimat...

I was captivated by the extraordinary Acapella tweeter at CES this year in their Violon III speaker demo...I think I had heard a version of this tweeter before in a different acapella speaker, and never noticed it as being wonderful...but t...

If you insist me to endorse something then this is why I make my Melquiades amplifier publicly available. Romy, I'm not seeking endorsement. Mine is the only endorsement that matters in my system. I have my own end-results in mind. ...
|
OK, Bud: This does appear, as I projected earlier, to be case in point for the "expert approach", using technology/techniques/machines that don't pencil for DIY, to say the least. I mean, you're not saying you lay this stuff up yours...
|
Ever since the Melquiades schematic was published, I have been planning to build one, because the objectives and topology seem like they would work for my system. Unfortunately I am very much not a DIY person. Even though I have built my ...

Of course you know,Romy, but others may not know/remember that Nichicon have always had great specs, and years ago they were a "secret weapon" in the high end.But lots of the DIY guys are computer geeks in their day jobs, and The Story is that Nichic...

Of course, the object is to be sure you never have a situation where HV is on while heaters are off, whether switching "on" or "off". And the usual DIY way to do this with totally separate PSs is...separate switching. If this or a similar approach ...

[quote user="N-set"]I do not know the guy who has written it, maybe he is an idiot, but anyway I'd defend his page.As far as I understand he is a DIY-er (?) who attempted his own TT, inspired by high mass belts.Well, that's life--we all have to make ...

The interesting thing about the Bottlehead people is that they are pretty good guys. "High and outside" is I think Paul Stubbelbine, who is an expert at mastering. He remastered my girlfriend's last album. I was very impressed. His ...

Hi Romy and GuyI've been checking out various plinths for my new DIY project. The project's base is a Technics Sp-10mk3 motor unit.When you say a materials 'frustration' I guess you mean the choice of alloy and the quality of the casting? Inproper ca...
