Thanks, ferenc.
I went to Ocean Way Recording the Federated Mike mentioned but I did not see anything in there and I did not know that they have also an oceanwayaudio.com site. They call it the HR2 and it was built for them by Allen Sides, so ...

I've had lots of down time for a while now, and I just saw the old IEM (in-ear monitor/earbud) post while mining the site. I already posted that I got a Crane CC2E radio, mostly to listen to nighttime re-broadcasts of the local symphony orchestra. I ...

Romy, I suspect that 200 Hz high-pass will be too low for that driver, even 2nd order, and almost certainly with just 6 dB roll-off. I think more like 500 Hz with 1st order, and might still require the coil.Yellow-type drivers take on and ...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

I never heard Everests and I hardly feel that I ever will hear them in a reasonable installation as the people who would use Everests most likely will be the people of “different type”. Still, I wonder if the Everests are the JBL’s 21st century glori...

With regard to 'How fast to get to correct speed' These are my steps:- Hand spin the flywheel first- Hand rotate the platter until the Tach reads around 33rpm- Start the motor - Speed will be within 2-3% straight away - Due to the PSU altering the vo...

I do not know what to say. Daniel is very knowledgeable person and it is the dual-wire specification (as I was told today) then I would doubt that Mr. Weiss would not comply with it. It is possible that it does it, you might not know how to activate ...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, also if you knockewd up a small monitor then let me give you a lead that you might or not might find worth attention.[/quote]I'm taking the opposite appraoch to speaker enclosures. I accept that enclosure resonance...

My preferred type of speaker is a full range ribbon, though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers. I've heard many over the years but I was never really that impressed but wan...

Hi Romy,thanks for your message. I wasn´t aware that Japan made so many different horn speakers back in the days. Looks like they knew what they did...I like these horns a lot :) They are by far not that involving and musical like my Tannoy Monitor G...

Sounds like you have the important parts, all right. Well done!I am in Crossover Hell, myself, just now. They are the Devil's Playground! If you can get the drivers' actual, in-the horn, in the room, raw active data curves, then I recommend LEAP a...

because floor josts support and extend the walls (they are solid 2"x6")so just screwed the board tightly to them. Because I needed the boards only within 10' so I have 3 rows of 5' +5' with the seam in the middle. I cut the second layer of bards so ...

[quote user="starboy"]… though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers.. [/quote]I am playing now with something similar. I have a small sealed monitor 14 by 24 with an unavoidable 10” Re...

SamFrom your listings perhaps you do not mind if certain qualities of the speakers themselves come to the fore, as long as you get other things you want?I think the Verity Parsifals do need the Encore (is that it?) bass units, and you'd certainl...

A couple hours ago WHRB stage own 4 days long, day and night Mstislav Rostropovich’s Orgy. The Broadcast is available on line – a phenomenal work listening… The program is more then exiting:

It is sucks to live with Russians Tubes. It is particular sucks to live with 6C33C. They are all deferent when they new, they age very ungracefully and differently.
The life with Super Melquiades, where I use 6x6C33C driving individual channe...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

OK, I have conceptualized what I need for the tweeter amp. It will be MilqEZ – the same Milq one with 6C19P at output. I will use the Super Melquiades power supplies but the HF channels will host own last caps of the filters and own bias of the both ...

This site never meant to be a popular and was more meant to be as my personal diary but since the site become quite popular (today was a third day in a row as the over 300 discreet visitors visited the site per day) then I would like to maintain it a...

Richard, I absolutely agree with you that dipole provides a masking affect from many problems but along with illumination of the badly reproduced bass dipoles inject into music a common denominator of… dipolenisness….. and this something that ...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

[quote user="drdna"]The interesting thing about the Bottlehead people is that they are pretty good guys. "High and outside" is I think Paul Stubbelbine, who is an expert at mastering. He remastered my girlfriend's last album. I was very i...

I wonder what kind sound not-impacting methods exist to connect and disconnect signal from moving coil cartridges. If we are talking about the switching the .1mV signal and monitor the results within a fairly high capacity playback then it beco...

i definitely see what you're saying there.. but i do wonder if it has more to do with the economics and the powers that be than a full on case of negligence. most sound engineers-- or at least those i've known (and not the bastard species of fa...

I ran a series of the test for L – the listening distance and L+ a few and L- a few feet from two positions of right channel LF source. One position is the best location of the woofer from room décor stand point and another is “bay” location, where t...

OK, got the Placette from the second round of "modification", it took 15 second to confirm that the HF problems that I sniffed out was not there anymore – so the absolute transparency is back to the business and this time the word “absolute” could be...

[quote user="StylinLP"]Romy what is your opinion on Art Dudley's review and Stereophiles announcement Product of the Year of the Schimmel's Voxativ Ampeggio speakers. I've been reading all the magazines for 15 years and I am shocked that they did. Th...

[quote user="manisandher"] So, all the files you've recorded @ 24/88.2 have the HDCD flag? And you've never noticed? How can this be? I'm sure I've read your previous posts Romy where you state that you don't agree with HDCD for >16/44.1 and that ...
