A couple of nights ago WFMT re-broadcast a concert I had attended some weeks earlier. It was the Emerson SQ performing in the lovely Martin Theater at Ravinia. On the program were the last quartets by Haydn, Bartok and Schubert. I sat about 20 row...

Hi Romy,I see now you are throwing around the term "absolute tone" in a relative manner again :) . Why would you want to neutralize absolute tone and with a metal tweeter no less!! You are talking about a tweeter "absolute tone" offsetting a po...

Very good point - I will direct Martin's attention to this. Visually, it looks like he did an excellent job on the 340 Hz horns, and the 160Hz horns will be rolled off at 1k anyway but nonetheless, will see what he reckons. Actually, no need - I just...

Surely one of the objectives of this site is to allow people to be guided towards good sound by discussing the issues involved in getting there. Whether that entails discussing the merits of different recordings or performances or whether it entails ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I position Macondo across the room then I would have
great benefit that the equipment rock can go between the speakers with multiple
benefits of this setting. Romy[/quote]Romy, what do you see as the benefits of having...

I guess I would like to be able to do something better than anyone else - and still be better after 100s of years.....My take is a bit difference. When I perform with players with a Stradivarius violin, it isn't the violin that is impressive - up clo...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

Feeling less depressed this am. After returning from Romy's and coming down from the high produced by his sound, I made the mistake of turning on my system, which had sounded great the night before. Within less than a half hour I turned it off and we...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was playing more with precision of my MF channel and I became convinced that I should not do it anymore and I should get better interfaces between the frame and the MF horn. So, I have decided to get a positioning table. ...

Hi romy,Haven't spent too much time on your site the past year unfortunately, but always check in from time totime to see what direction tou are heading for the moment!For 2012 i have gone into ready- made acoustic system which iabsolutely love' no t...

It was an interesting event today. I have a big air compressor home that got broken, so I borrowed a portable electric compressor from my neighbor. I plug it in outside the house and blew up the irrigation system, preparing it for winter. Then I bro...

Linked is a brief article that categorizes the the portable audio player options available Q4 2013 as clearly and succulently as any I have seen. It also includes some portable dac/amp combos for your mobile phone. Of course, DSD is a hot buzzword re...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Putting the Pure Power in the basement might be fine, but I don't think you need to banish the Melqs down there, at least not yet.You don't know yet if there will be kids, and if so it will still be a couple years before one a...

I would say that this is not an answer to the question. It does not really matter what the problem was with the PP2000+ unit in question. This is an irrelevant conclusion that seeks to divert attention from the primary issue. What is important is the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what the concussion is. It is known that PP2000, as any switching devise, inject a lot of noise into power line from where it sources power. Apparently the PP2000 own filtration can’t handle the noise from the second PP...

"Architectual" (man-made) joists have some decided advantages over natural lumber, including excellent unit-to-unit consistency. Most residential "TJI" joists (as opposed to beams) are made straight and installed without an initial "crown" (manu...

It's my system that Romy discussed above. I've been fighting electricity problems for 25 years using everything from home generators to multiple 3 KV isolation transformers in series with banks of caps, to multi mega-buck high end audio products to l...

Haralanov, I've spun this thread off the "Speakers for a Powerful SET" thread, as you suggested. I took a couple of pictures, but I can't figure out how to upload them, just yet. I'm also not sure what you could see from the outside, anyway.As for th...

I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may be worth investigati...

Well, I'll stick my neck out and tell you what I think. I would say that it sounds right now that you have a kind of undefined idea of how you understand the sounds of audio reproduction. Sort of on the level that you know that you like s...

After a few hours of conversation with Dima and discussing the Avicenna’s details I put the preorder transformers together and light up the Regenerator. I was running it to different modes testing the operation and measuring the results in bypa...

What I have is a subwoofer made by ACI; no information on the amplifier used other than it uses a two prong power cord, no ground. When I hooked it up to the APS 2000 I got a very loud pitched hum. Taking if off the 2000 and plugging it into a...

Last night I have an interesting “event”. I accidently unplugged the PP from power line and did not know about it. In a couple hours I realized that the lights on my equipment that all time on are off. So, the PP buttery was drained out. Interest...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

I have no idea what that all about but it is nice to know that my taxes goes for somebody building horns. "The Reverberant Acoustic Test Facilit (RATF) chamber is located within the Vibroacoustic Highbay, taking advantage of the 1.8 m (6 ft) thick su...

I will address the low voltage DAC power supply first since it has multiple applications.The front end comprises a commercial 48/12 volt 20 watt dc/dc converter. This basically is used to provide 1000 volt isolation input to output otherwise you...

When posted my post above I was bitching that that contemporary issued LPs are garbage and was accusing the Morons who make. However, there is a twist in those accusations. The senseless idiots who produces the horribly sounding modern surrogates are...

Lamm announced that he introduced a new phonostage: LP2.1. http://www.lammindustries.com/PRODUCTS/LP2.1%20introduction%20booklet.pdf This is kind of strange move. The LP2 was very bad phonostage; despite all industry medals and huge amount of glowin...
