[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

Romy,
Thanks again for your comments.
The RTA and filter mods over the past few days have driven me straight up to the local café to chill out; they have WiFi here (this being France, still no internet at the house)... I will be brief.
Regar...

Well,
The most miserable things about electricity that you never know what to do. I had in past different filters and mny imaginable power gismos, a number of isolated transformers, balanced transformers, regenerators…
For a couple years I was runn...

Jessie, at the home page, in the left, within the GoodSoundClub Section there is the “Announcements” item of menu, which will bring you to the thread with the instruction how to upload the images to the site.

Jessie,
Perhaps if you search something in the throat jungle you might fish some interesting results. You see, optimizing the driver to throat transition you might get some HF out of upper bass driver. But besides getting more HF there is something ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding the Mid-Bass : If these guys are using the main block as a Mid-Bass horn (as Romy's illustration suggests), then the story is getting interesting, and the plot is definitely thickening... It would however seem i...

Jessie, you know it is sometimes disgusting to read your posts. In some cases you write posts that are one to one with what I would write and if not correct spelling then I would swear that it was written by me. A few days back, talking with a gu...

$180 does not seem expensive for such a table; for that price it is likely to have been "Made in China",...

Thanks, Jessie. I just will buy that Beswick Engineering valve, it looks like it is the right size and it look like it will do what I need
I made some experiments applying large gaskets to cover of the back chamber. I used a gaskets up to 12 mm but ...

Well, jessie, this "home move" turned to be a bigger discovery of myself in many ways then I thought. I am 42 and I lived all my live in city, I never had any usable backyard, garden or even plants. The only green things I ever have seen were ins...

[quote user="msaudio"]Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Make an experiment, and I will simplify the case quite assertively. Take a typical compression driver, cross it at 800Hz, second order and load it into a proper contemporary horn (Tratrix or JMLC) of 300Hz. Listen that hor...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]
Romy,
I'm trying to understand your logic in choosing a multi-cell design (instead of a single-cell oval or rectangular 180Hz exponential horn of the same vertical height)... Was this in the interest of achievi...

Yes, Jessie, you get the idea correct. If a chair positions the upper body “properly” (whatever it means) then the upper part of body with attached to it head has no other way to go then to stick naturally out of the chair and does not need any h...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]So if I understand correctly, you are still using both elements of the Red, but have separated them, and now have the HF element as shown in the above photo, and the woofer is still in the large box (still sitting up on to...

A site visitor sent me emails saying:
“Johan Dreyer says he can hear no time delay with his bass horns…”
Well, first of all I disagree with it. The fact that Johan Dreyer can hear no time delay is not an indication that delay is n...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I really appreciate the result of the 180Hz horn with the S2... Particularly in terms of "texture". It is responsible for such an important range... [/quote]

1) If you decided to use the 12” JBL 2206H driver then I doubt that you might talk about 4” throat. A 12” driver with wide outer suspension might go with 7”-8” throat. The 6” might do, though it might be a stretch....

Jessie,
I was about to replay to your post and suddenly John Hasquin posted his reply that said exactly what I meant to say. In fact he has much more credential to assess the validity of you attempts then me as he actually build the horns. In additi...

Jessie-There are the current japanese teflon sockets, and vintage american manufactured sockets - I think either should be fine. The pin springs on the OEM pair I replaced had no grip or spring characteristics. When the pin holders are bent, they ...

Wow, Jessie, thanks for the detail deals of your idea. I have spent last evening to contemplate many possible design configurations and I desired to discard all my former ides of metal fine-tuning, even my machinist in on standby expecting my ord...

Not all the designers actually mention specific programs, but most seem to agree about the importance of the ripping and playback software.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Very simple... The WAF has had enough of the horns... She's met a new guy and is throwing me and a few tons of plaster out of the house! Worst of all, she has custody of the cats!

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...
