It might only appear that it is irrelevant subject. In reality this is the subject of my LONG DREAM… and I have almost realized it.
I spend entire days to redo the Air Conditioner system to accommodate it for my listening room. The house has a...

Moreart, somebody sent me this link last year. You are surely the DIY pioneer of back loaded Manger.As you probably know this is a touchy speaker to work with. Rated at 91 dB/W input by the factory, we measure ~91 up to near 92 dB/1W/1m in our two mo...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...

[quote user="PurePower"]The PurePower batteries provide power to the AC regeneration whenever it is required. That could be during a black out, it could be during a brownout, it could be for a fraction of a cycle it could be for 10 minutes. The simpl...

Hello Romy a long time visitor now a member. I have always been interested in what improvements can be made to my incoming power. I use a BPT 2, PS noise harvesters and quite lines through out the house. My system has always had very good sound...

[quote user="op.9"] One thing nobody has mentioned is using the room’s corners. Is this a no no? I’ve been trying use McBean to model a horn exiting into the corner – with a middle ‘mouth’ about 1m squared - and using a conical approximation as the r...

Hello Guy,Please excuse the rapid fire response, bit short of time today.1)Your comments about the Io cart are most interesting; clearly it ain't about saturation. Here's another idea: if the domains in the magnetic material limit resolution (leading...

Amir, I told of my own approach to wall power in other threads. Basically, I tried to make my gear as tolerant of AC variations as I could without simply smoothing everything over. My DAC runs on battery power. I modified the power supply and changed...

[quote user="rowuk"]Alex, I have a APC RT UPS which is a regenerator and UPS in one. I use it for on site recording as you never know what you get from the wall socket. Dimmed lights, PA and all sorts of other devices like air conditioning and refrig...

Amir, what you have written is not a philosophy, it is not a path that guides decisions, not a document what gives others insight into what music does to you and why. I have been following your posting, and to be honest, it sounds more like an audio...

[quote user="Jorge"]Hello Anthony,I did experiment with metal tubes for bass in a sealed configuration as you are planning. The weight of them, even made out of thinner than you would like steel, is prohibitive. If you make them out of aluminum pipe...

priviet. I tried many ways. I cut the front outside faceplate open, and put a second driver on it. So that two drivers were firing onto each other face to face in one single hornthroat, rest normal single K. To my surprise the output didn't increase ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can’t predict what sound will I get with hardwood floors and how it will be different from think wall-to-wall carpet that I have now. Currently I have architect wood joists 30 feet long running at the bottom of the floor....

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

TwoGoodEars posted at his blog a report about is listening session or some kind of installation. I still have no idea who’s installation it is: Jean Hiraga or Be Yamamura. Nevertheless, I think it very much worth to look into it.

I really enjoy this site. Romy has a fresh view that is actually easy to understand, if one simply reads instead of interpreting what he writes.Still, a view from "higher up" is something that many of us are not privileged to. Looking at the major co...

I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

I feel strange tonight. I woke up at 2.30AM to feed the diabolically-smiling baby and as Thomas went back to sleep I keep walking back and forth of the listening room for 2 hours, having quite bewildering feelings. As Amy the Kitten moved with me we ...

So, I have finally started testing a single Bass Cannon in my room.First, I had to get the rigidity as high as possible and then damp the steel ringing as much as feasible. I used butyl rubber/aluminium automotive deadener on the inside of the tube ...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

Was watching today the new DVD “Yevgeny Mravinsky: Soviet Conductor, Russian Aristocrat”. It is OK film, despite of very pore translation and sometime the commentaries of the wall but there is in there something absolutely phenomenal. Among many film...

[quote user="hagtech"]Yes, steel chassis can be both good and bad. It likes to conduct magnetic fields, so you have to treat things appropriately. A little spacing under a choke can go a long way. Otherise you have a 120Hz motor.&nb...

[quote user="Merlin"] Absolutely inadequate for desiphering the subjective sound quality yes - all we can deduce is that the system has a maximum sensitivity of 98db/w at best, and quite possibly less. As do many fine loudspeaker systems.
