[quote user="ghpicard"]Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much sa...

Decoud, I have 4 questions to ask The configuration of chasses you use implies that input has to be in the mid of the amp in front. I however, do not see it. So, where is the input and why it is too far from the first grid? What brand/made/specificat...

Thank you Romy! Actually I've realized that when I wrote it I rather ment dynamical stability then frying the outputs. But in proper PP the even order harmonics are strongly surpressed, sothere should be no or very little change of the output OP due ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is unquestionably an ambiguous project. The topmost question that I would ask myself after this project would be the following: can Milq-biased 6E5P to be as good (sound-wise) DC driver as some vintage direct heated tube...

The mean KOTriode in his thread “A different breed of 6C33C amplifier“ jinxed me with his 6C33C vulnerability and today my output tube at right midbass channel went down. The characteristic pings, which via the midbass horn sound like house room is c...

…and I do not know how to describe the difference about it. A sweet spot of acoustic system is a location where Sound of speaker in a room are “focused” together. The sweet spot with Grand Utopia is a very specific distance at wish the problems with ...

Stefano, it is funny that you have mentioned the “an old, little cinema in a small town”. I do not know if you did it unintentionally or you meant as some kind of sarcastic self-deprecated joke. What I mean is that the initial industry demands for ru...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]
I do not think I called you with names...

... and nothing as a result. After testing, measuring and the most important listening the new Water Drop integrated with the rest Macondo I summized that I would need to go still for a second order on my tweeter. It is kind of not what I hoped. I di...

Paul, you are missing the point. When I said about “tilted” response it is still a "flat response". If your 10kHz-2 octaves has minus 1-2dB over your 30Hz +2 octaves then it is VERY flat, way flatter than normal deviation of most playbacks out there....

[quote user="Dominik"] Nobody around dosnt have this kind of system, I didnt heard also that anyone in Poland have similar system and I dont want to "hard looking" for anyone who have it. [/quote] Dominik, you are free to do whatever you wish but if ...

[quote user="drdna"] BUT, I think it is more exactly what you say that the midrange horn is round and the lower midrange horn is rectangular. They sound different and it is more easy for me to hear the presence of the rectangular horn. [/quote]...

I’m very far from being able to express any more or less valuable opinion on the subject however, what I understand that they/you are taking about small signal-level devised. Whatever it worth, I feel that pure SS can care line-level tasks perfectly ...

Thanks, John. We all adults and we all know how much difference between Realty and what we see on TV, particularly if we have done TV for living. As I told Sakuma might be is more interesting then the cult that I feel purely artificially is made abou...

I would insist is that to judge sound of Goto driver from the installations that I have see is worthless thing to do -all Goto installation that I have seen are time-missaligned. To listen a time-misaligned horn installa...

Attila from Hungary send me emails telling that he got CNC lathe, carver and the rest of gear and that he is very much willing to make horns. He asked: “I would like to ask your opinion, what type of horns people most need”. I find it is interesting...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...

Thanks, Dominik, an interesting driver and an interesting direction. JBL is probably one of the few large companies that that do something “pushy” with sound. Still, what they do and even if what they do objectively advantageous I am not sure that it...

It is difficult to talk with audio people about Horns. It is a constraint problems, and not only in audio, when the mistakes of a specific poor implementation or a chase of a mistaken tangentional notions might shatter an entire concept. The very sam...

Dear CatThey do not shout or go hard when pushed.Metallic sounds such as cymbals and percussion instruments are the most life like.It also brings immediacy to the sound of speakers.Like you have said in another thread how speakers are the worst link,...

My Koetsu Onyx has gone. I was packing my stuff and was wondering why do I need to keep my Koetsu Onyx? I do not like it and everyone keep telling me that it is a wonderful cartridge. After years of sitting in box I figured out that it would be a goo...

Come on, Thomas, no one talks about the 75-85db of gain at MM level. However, the higher gain does has some things that I find is very useful and I find it is much worth to burn extra 15dB in prams then to have a preamp wide open and run photo at low...

[quote user="drdna"]I think that the perception of the Onyx depends on the rest of one's stereo system and the other components one compares it to.When I say the Koetsu is one of the top cartridges in the world, I would say this about most modern aud...

When you step outside of your house you have a few seconds when your senses recognize whether and to react to whether. Before your awareness tag air as cold, dry, windy, hot or wet you have that deep breathe when all your inner-you just put on line a...

Interesting. This weekend a local guy visited and and he had a conversation about my playback. He said that my playback has very distinct my type of sound and it makes Bruckner to sound like Mahler. I was surprised with this assessment as I always th...
