[quote user="decoud"]So the ambition is low, and I am after a simple solution prioritizing these things, but the question of general interest is whether anyone has found an elegant way of turning the constraints of space into a virtue [/quote] We...

Ironically one of the biggest shortcomings of the visitors that I have is their luck of attitude or well defined demands toward to what they about to hear. Most of the audio people when they deal with audio let audio to play the music in the way how ...

Romy,Very briefly. I am wasting my time writing this response, and probably yours as well, but let me again, as you say, bite the bait and respond anyway.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Did you ever ask why would I need it or want it? I laugh enough to...

I helped Romy shuffle around some hardware and connect some cables yesterday. That damned table weighs about 100.000 pounds. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see live, in-person how Romy thinks about audio and incorporates th...

And now, going back to page 2 of this thread; here we pick up with some shots of the upper bass horn and the associated primitive "tooling"Mold without coreMold with core. Before core is put in place, mold is loaded with a thick coat o...

The fact is, this is a "shared" room that is also seen (by at least one principal) as a "public" room; this is your "face". We all (marrieds) make these compromises in our shared rooms. I chose the house I'm in now because it has a room that my wif...

My Cat truly lives on her own. She never comes to me when I call her. She always does whatever she wants. She always wants something different from what I want. I am with her since she was 6 days old She teaches me to live soon to be 21 years and I a...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.
THE IDEA
The idea of trying to find a tweeter to compliment Macondo was a good idea. Many of you know that I was proudly declari...

talk about it they forget to note that it is not a motor problem most of the

Another “interesting” thing... Any amplifier that I know is absolutely disabled to let me as a listener to extract from music something without unavoidable loosing a perspective to the whole musical peace. The Melquiades swallows this task with ...

[quote user="oxric"]….However, as I have said previously, my interest in Fane is strictly limited to this production run and nothing more sinister as you seem to insinuate. On the other hand, you had no problem being quoted on PurePower's site as a u...

Jessie, looks nice. I never did it myself and can not appreciate the labor went into it. Horn-wise everything looks well- thought out. I personally would probably go for a monopod frame above the midbass horn (mergeing it in middle) as I feel it make...

So, the first DSET is still downstairs on the electronics bench and I am back to work for a while, but not too hard and not for too long (I hope). I've added all the filters and checked and tested and changed some more things and decided that it was...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I could not agree more. Above a certain price point, another thing that should be standard procedure is what Lamm has been doing since day one; and that is to establish a file for each component made, recording whenever p...

The switching UHF spikes that were SS rectifiers main “issuers” are gone. Schottky Diodes with no forward or reserve recovery always did the best but they never were able to care a lot of voltage. The new denegation of Silicon Carbide Diodes ar...

[quote user="Michaelz"]I know that piano sound board is very expensive. How ever, one can get brken old upright pianos for free, or for very little (except you need to have a truck to move them. No clue for lack of time though:^...

[quote user="Serge"] It's silly because the minuses outweight the pluses. In order to suspend the heavy disc constant magnetic field should be strong. This field will easily travel through the platter, since the platter is by definition non-magne...

Thanks, Stitch, it give me a good laugh. The description of my Cats without the context of the idiots to whom I replied did not sound right. I would prefer to use this description instead:

Hello Romy
I am in a similar situation although not as far along as you since my "phonocorrector" experiments are yet to start. I in fact have the same valve types lined up so when I discovered your site yesterday there was a strong assonance!
