[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

[quote user="Paul S"] With the Wright amps the G2Si did not seem to live up to their efficiency specs using my little cap and coil crossover. I can't offer good descriptions of their sound with the ML2s until I get my TT going, but ...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

It is sad that no one talks about it and it is very not clear what is going on. It looks like the companies that sell hi-res files feel that the phrase hi-res is automatically an assurance of some kind of “quietly”. Well, they most likely deal w...

Yes, Rulit does try to push envelop of something. He does exiting projects but I do not know how all of it manifests itself in actual results. I said that he pushes the “envelop of something” as I do not know what this “something” is. I never h...

My reference to air caps was purely a tongue-in-cheek reference to the voids in the coil. Of course the parasitic capacitance due to the propinquity of winding layers would dominate and here the dielectric is quite often Mylar.
It's just that the ...

New member, first post, so go easy on me!Ive been playing around with clocks in digital audio for a while. Current system uses a DCS Scarlatti stack with the Scarlatti clock. Synching to the Scarlatti clock rather than using the Scarlatti DAC as mast...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

Similar to the famous sexist tail that women can be only ether pretty or smart the midbass horns unfortunately behave in the very same way: they can be only nicely placed in a room or they can sound good. You want the horn to place in a specific ...

My first impressions a about the “differences” of field-coiled derived form the time when I ran the Telefunkens war time drivers but at that time I had no reference how the same driver would act with permanent magnet. Also, the Telefunkens are the re...

[Quote]Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy a good pizza. Unfortunately I won't find one in a Pizzahut. "That" man's 2 for 1 pleasure says a lot about his evaluating capabilities... I also enjoy several different kinds of music, mostly acoustic, but en...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

[quote user="Rewind"]Hi, I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. [/quote] OK, but it is not how I feel about the service of injection...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced bass I've ever heard. Also if listening to a real contrabass in a normal listenin...

[quote user="Antonio J."] But having some ideas of the sonic attributes that accomplish that "feeling" would be very helpful. So you couldn't help that someone listening to such a system wanted to build a clone of it. [/quote]I do not think it is pos...

I sometime try to address broad and purely abstractive audio issues, still without a big hope then it would be properly understood or properly interpreted by most of the readers, not to mention anyone else. An average audio person do not need a broad...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]

hi Romy. Nice topic! I have a very nice memory. I started very young, supported by a friend who tought me a lot and gave me books to study. I learned the basic formulas and started DIY speakers from purely technical perspectives, graphs, math, calcul...

There was a guy as one musical forum. His name is William Sommerwerck and for all intended purpose he is an idiot. He was posting more or less lucid comments about music but he also fancied himself as some kind of expert on audio. He insisted th...

There are many conversations out there about the fact that many music people do not “get” audio. In most cases this is correct. They are many conversations, we had some of them at this site and the reasons of the phenomena that were brought are ...
