I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought t...

but worth the reading. No "magic experiences" listening to crappy music, no "mistical revelations" about who-cares soundstage delineation... just objectively-aimed impressions about the strong and weak points of the sounds those speakers can reproduc...

I corrected a mistake in amps construction but the thing I cannot explain is that after I picked up the drivers from Retsel they were much mellower /smoother sounding .Did hummidity change or they finally "broked -in" I don't know. Report...

Daniel, seeing your words describing needs for live sound, i seriously recommend to copy Klaus Speth' System in a first instance. You can go further after that. But that thing had it all, what anyone needs to feel the art become alive. I can ensure i...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...

FWIW I tried quite a few isolation and power conditioner products over the years. The only ones that I still use and feel do more good than harm are the now discontinued PS Audio Ultimate Outlets. They are simply good quality baluns. The advantage ...

Hi thereI've heard them a few times driven by Audio Research power plant amp and their best tube CD player. My friendly dealer explained to me principles of Vandersteen design. Small woofer (because big one isn't fast enough ??) with its own plate am...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Nope, it will be done at electro-magneto-acoustical domain. No helmet will be involved ether. The Cat [/quote]I suppose you'll use an electro-magnetic driver instead of a fixed magnetic field one, whose magnetic field would...

I have no idea what the SD-1 motor is, but i know my woofers have it and they give me decent results. if only SS would make a high efficiency woofer with softer paper cones and double the SD magnet....Hey, what kind of crossovering is the ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

Sorry if this is OT - I could start a new thread but my post is inspired by the quote below - [quote user="drdna"]the lathe-work is rough on some of the horns. [/quote]I can't decide whether that's good or bad. I'm slowly working up to getting ...

I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...

I have no idea what it is but it is something… Take a look:

It is 3 way horn loaded with external LF section, so far so good. Atop then have RAAL ribbon that ...

I have large midbass horns and midrange horns made by elevenhorns. I am still trying to figure out a stand idea. I've read many creative ideas but I still haven't found the idea that inspires me. I do like the all wood direction that Rakeshorn t...

If you read Danleys paper, you see that the lower you go in frequency, the more this device turns into a direct radiator. He just vents the HF drivers from the throat, more or less optimised, the midrange drivers a bit further out and the LF drivers ...

Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use your upper bass horn to p...

My personal take (also with my wife who I have been with for 33 years) is that they learn enough by exposure and are much more valuable when remaining simple "users". It is often not possible to be objective when you are enjoying a low noise floor or...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In fact I do feel that
my MF and upperbass are very good integrated. But again, I might not know how
different it might be if it was otherwise. [/quote]
Exactly!
Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is ...

With all honesty and with all my agreement to what Romy and Haralanov said I have to confess that they are a bit full of shit. I desisted to make an experiment and recorded on my phone the video of my playback and then listen to the sound I got in th...

Now that you mention it, I'm not experiencing any of those distortion problems with this setup.The "breaking glass" sound seems to appear mainly when I'm listening to bandwidth limited speakers though.I have also noticed that it's only my left ear th...

Yes, a cheap inductive l-pad between OPT and S2 in midrange channel. Interestingly, the frequency response of the first order Lazy Ribbon is remarkably similar to a response you posted somewhere on this site of the Water Drop with third order filter...

A DSP is a great tool for modelling crossovers. It lets us experiment with a lot of things with no additional costs. There is a sonic hit, but far lower than "guessing" at crossovers.What seems to get the most traction here is using inherently well b...
