I'm not sure what relevance the purpose something was created for has to whether it can be used in a serious audio system. As you point out elsewhere there are many products created which are supposedly for serious audio use which are...

I will propose a heretical stand: The problem is a deficiency of the advanced playback. The magic only happens in one place and that can be severely comprimised by geometric objects that were not calculated into the listening environment. Maybe we ne...

Skushino,being an avid believer of horn speakers throughout the years,I find myself questioning your findings, as you stated in your posting.Have you finally listened to these speakers? or is it like, beauty is in the eye of the beh...

Romy,Now that I am home for a couple weeks after the CES extravaganza I am listening to my system and wondering why I thought I needed a tweeter at all. For me, the problem with experimenting with the e-bay $200 plasma tweeters is the health iss...

[quote user="Dominic"]he who can describe it does not know….. There is a subconscious understanding of these principles at work while we listen….[/quote]I do not think that we deal with understanding here but rather with something else. Yes, an expre...

I kept thinking about cats and cat food (also known as birds) listening habits this afternoon. That's why parrots bob up and down, as well as (less often) twist back and forth on one leg sometimes-- to triangulate and pinpoint a location in all...

When people ask me what I would like to do if I were not a software engineer I usually reply that I would like to work in Cat's shelter. I would like to be surrounded with hundreds Cat's who will even walk across me like I am a piece of furniture - w...

if there was any taker not even mention for oportunity to get ML2 . It's not going to happen in this life though ;)I'm pretty sure that in writing the whole setup/tube procedure seems more tedious than in actual use. Sorry , I didn't want to be a pes...

scooter, thanks you. That was very nice of you. Last two my Cats eat 3 paid of headphones and
I just do not feel it worthy for me to get anything fancier then a few dollars
for commuting purpose. After trying some of the buds (thankfully my Cats l...

Romy,
Please accept my apologies for my first posting on your website. I had only perused a couple pages and may have come to an incorrect conclusion. While it is human nature to lock onto an idea and dogmatically pursue it, those in touch w...

[quote user="LossTangentZero"] FoxNews is just a biased as CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, or any other “news” of choice because they are produced by inherently biased individuals. [/quote]Now that is a lie. FauxNews is not even news, nothing but propaganda ...

hm..lots of interesting information to chew on, and by and large, i've had similar experiences with first order crossovers on bass drivers .. this being my experience with a full range amp, and a two way system-- which is a far different critter than...

what a great idea-- i never really thought of a sort of 'low pass bypass' inductor of sorts?! i'd always assumed that inductance was similar to capacitance in that regard-- the more you add, the more you get-- but hadn't thought about the...

Replying I have to say that I am a very intelligent person. No matter how much I am able to be flown with 'kick' during my sensuous experience and how far I might be drifted with flows I always try to rationalize and to learn the nature about my ...

Since the post above was posted I’ve receive a number of emails from the different people who complain about my use of word “Gray” while I described the 103 cartages. Well, I am not completely comfortable with the word “gray” as well. However, ...

[quote user="rowuk"]TH,this is very much NOT a DIY site. It is however probably the most complete collection of „SOUND as it is related to horns“ articles.I suggest that you check out things here first before asking „the wrong“ questions. The horn sy...

[quote user="twogoodears"] I agree with Mingsu questions about "what" physical area must be aligned, as every inch +/- gives sometimes different results... [/quote] Come on Stefano, you do not align the “physical area”. You guys are so preocupated wi...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

To me, audio neutrality is a very difficult idea to express. Fundamentally, all audio recording and reproduction is a terribly compromised and flawed system. An analogy might be to record the sound of children laughing and playing, splash...

It is 75F in Boston, unseasonably warm. I got home today and it is 68F in my listening room and 75F outside, it is sign that spring came and you know what Cats do in march – you are right - getting horny on open air Bruckner listening. So that what ...

Hello friends,Romy wrote (in the context of the MingSu/Jackson/Goto upper-mid bass horn thread):"...Yep, I would hang the midbass above and as you said put an upperbass on a floor to anchor the center image. Something similar to what Jessie is doing....

OK, I like this game. Why not dream of a very wide range driver, say, from 300 - 12 or 13k? Maybe a bit larger diaphragm and less "compression", along with a faster horn, could do the trick? Some sort of ??? for the beaming. Shoot for 6 dB X/O "...

Adrian, is the room raised floor or a slab? If the former, then wall-mount makes sense, especially for a TT. If slab, then you have more options, as far as spreading things around. Soft carpet or hard flooring factors, too. Yo...

Not to be too presumptuous but i thought i'd start a thread that could serve as a repository for lowther comments, ideas etc.the impetus for this was that rola experiment i mentioned in the cogent rmaf thread. I was thinking hmm, 'hard', 'shouty' tha...

There is a saying in my family "two removals (moving house) equals one fire" (no joke right now out West!). Similarly we say "two dogs equals one child" in the amount of care and feeding needed. So you went from three children to effectively 3.5; not...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...
