Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

[quote user="Ronnie"]Also, some frequencies are very much pronounced (alien sounds), easiest to hear with opera singers.[/quote]Ronny, could you elaborate more on the “alien sounds”. You see, I disagree with John and do not believe that the “alien so...

I have finished both big horns enough to listen in stereo, and the throats are now much smoother.I'm not using the MF horns, and have been listening all night. It has been a remarkable experience! (well, the inner-me objects and claims there's nothin...

Hi Ronnie, I'm glad you solved your trouble and it was just a matter of balance in the frequency response range.The singer's formant is an ability that opera singers learn, in order to stand louder than the orchestra and be heard at the rear rows of ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have ordered a couple of your von Bingen’s recordings to see what her “some kind of chant” is all about. [/quote] Got the Hildegard von Bingen’s recordings today. Interesting. Pleasant. Hugely talented. Very tasteful. St...

I was watching the YouTube recording from Braunschweigkonzert 2009 with Anna Netrebko und Dmitri Hvorostovsky perform the stage version of Onegin.
I am not a big fun of Netrebko but this Braunschweigkonzert recording is very interesting form… audio...

Romy,
I'm also very interested in how you deal with a replacement for the 811b horn. I have not seen another hobbyist who has posted a suitable alternative with measurements. Its possible that the Azura horn recommended in the th...
|
|
The 811b horn is an unfortunate junk; it has to be unconditionally trashed. I wrote years back at the Altec forum, at that time I did not know that all of them are idiots in there, that Altec use of this horn in Model 19 is disasters. The horn is hor...

Jessie, you know I am not a horn guy. I played with horns for 5 years, and I have heard plenty of them, and so far none have worked for me, musically. But I have remained mindful of horns' potential, and I keep co...

This might show your average sound level at your typical listening time during a typical Wagner Opera... :)(if so, take a rest every 45 minutes for 15 minutes to avoid damaging your ears: This is an institutional recommendation here i...

Ollie, this sounds like a rather extreme rant I indulged in myself, not long ago.To put it more succinctly this time, the problem for me is when the end "product" winds up being a signature piece from someone (or - worse - everyone) in the "supp...

I think you will only be able to decide about this after listening to some operas or other video-audio through the big system. The analog output of the video player may be good enough for the purpose, or it may sound terrible through the Milqs/Macon...

Here is the rack that I put on the wall with all opera room equipment
to tin it from Thomas. I was not able to
pit in there PP3000 and it is at different location. Frankly the wall mount
tune out to be very convenient idea even without baby. ...

Yes, the laconic clarity is too rare and too worthy to let go. My limited experience suggests that the 45 may have this very special ability, taken alone. Conversely, the "good" 6SN7 is wonderful with respect to tonal...

[quote user="Serge"]Romy consider that the engineers who did your Altecs in their worst nightmare could not imagine their lovely cinema speakers would be used with solid state amplifier which badly distorts on LOW power levels. It has 100 crappy watt...

Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of video playback and feel that...

I've been reading about the acoustic characteristics of the world's great symphony halls, like Boston and the Concertgebouw. Did you know that Sabine, Berenak, and Cyril Harris mathematically defined those characteristics, using metrics like RT-60, ...

I'm not sure if the Salamander-style rack (wooden shelves supported by nuts and washers on threaded rods) will support 800 pounds, but if you put heavier items near the bottom then a wide heavy-duty version might be fine. Besides Salamander, some ot...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than...

Even if you wish to spend a few days in Paris, all you have to do is step onto the Eurostar and alight there a couple of hours later. As for baroque recitals, Oxford was a good place for those when I was there, and once more, not far from London. Do ...

OK, guys, let stop to bite my Master and Margarita hook: this thread is not about all of that but about electricity problems. I brought the Master only as an illustration of some ridicules regarding the PP noise. I spent today another hour, trying to...

Yes, this is kind of strange. This is a cheap Blue Ray player; I think it is Sony BDP-S790 for $279. It played anything and supports live stream for pretty much anything. It is very comfortable to have it in opera room as video source. The picture is...
