Thanks for the encouragement, Jessie. Actually, a much larger "room" is available, but it is +/- "divided" by wing walls and an archway, along with a large side wall opening, that I know from experience would eff up the spa...

I just watched a film about the construction of the Dubai’s famous Burj Al Arab Hotel. The program told that the engineers come across the problems with high harmonic distortions of electricity that powered up the Hotel (220 suites with 14kVa (!!!) c...

The small room "solution" might well be related to the car "solution", such as it is. I have been thinking along those lines to this point. Whatever, the idea is to wind up with a satisfactory experience. For me, being wowed at first usually means I ...

Thank you Romy, I wasn't aware of the 30 day trial...I though only PS Audio had this policy with power regenerators...The 25% load is a nice tip, thanks again, I trust you judged this value according to personal tests and measurements. The sad news i...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

I'm still in a burn-in phase. I'm having little time these days for some serious listening with loudspeakers, and the unit must have about 30 hours playing time. I have the DA-11 hooked to a headphone amplifier and I'm using different cans. As a tran...

"How do you audition the equipment that you build? Do you do listening tests at all?
No, basically I don’t do that. I have some Strax headphones for some listening, but I don’t judge the electronics based on listening tests.Does anyone else in...

[quote user="noviygera"] Vasyachkin, if this is still relevant:I've tried dipole bass and dipole mids with horns mid/highs in my system. If anything, dipole works the WORST for the bass and here's why:It does not load the room with bass pressure (or ...

It is 4” exit and reportedly goes down to 27Hz. I do not know what a lot about this diver but it might be a good driver for 40Hz horn. 4” into 40hz? God, it has to be at least 16 feet long horn! I would take my head off to somebody who goes for it. A...

Amir. for me. regardless of what I've started out to do in audio, I have been forced to compromise along the way. I am sharing my speaker/amp compromises in this thread. My "second system" is a radio (or computer) and headphones (or "desk speakers")....

Oh well.. I'd really like to save the horns. I appreciate your offer to help out!Still no measurements, but this can start the trouble shooting...CONSTRUCTIONFirst I refreshed my memory of exactly what I built. They certainly are far from being copie...

Paul, 100% agreed on the real world test vs all other mental exercises!!!Not sure on what do you mean by the "follower"?Yes, I need only 2 stages, perhaps TVC at the input. I'll even have a bit too much gain, if I'm correct.Romy style bias on 6E5P an...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

I am inclined to think it has more to do with the dynamic impact of sound through space and pressing against your body, instead of just your ears. I have always felt Stravinsky to be a very physical experience.
And I do like the mono recordings...

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...

...this is my first serious attempt to pack something into a case.[quote user="Paul S"]Nice looking unit, N-set. I also go out of my way to use part leads only in lieu of extra wire whenever possible. I really don't care what it "looks like" on thi...

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

Hmmm...let's see, I'm pretty young, to the point where I don't have any major source of money income, so I do with what I can when I can and want to, just like many other suffering young and/or poor audiophiles. It's like this, I don't listen to any ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]From where I am staying Injection is not debatable. What dubious is - the methods of Injections. The large panels of Layered Sound has own advantaged and own disadvantages. I was considering in past to use another Red injec...

I've never understood the continual need to get equipment to have ever wider frequency response, to me (but then I'm a complete technonumpty) this just seems to be an exercise in chasing numbers to impress those that are impressed by spec sheets.&nbs...

Part of setting up a system is listening to both channels independently, they measure the same and sound the same, but individually with a lower volume and punch, and of course no stereo effect." the audio window should get larger and larger, unti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, my mind does not operate by the categories you employ, I rather think about nature of Sound not about harmonic/non-harmonic distortions. The whole subject about the distortion is intricate, not to mention that it is n...

Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.In general, I was pretty disappointed with what I heard. Most of the ‘convent...

Hi Romy,
It felt like loosing my breath when the music stopped. I don't have any CDRs around but listening with a pair of headphones left me wanting for the whole thing. Amazingly powerful colours and textures... and what a beautiful mood.

I'm right there with you, temporarily installed in the middle of a Bagdad intersection.So, one day not too long ago I slipped out during lunch and picked up a pair of decent, closed-back, full-size, fairly antisocial looking headphones (ATH M-50s) an...
