I would discard the first part of your post. It is it truly irrelevant what Germans, French, Japanese or Brits were buying and what particular brand and in what time they consider as “fashionable”. It is know that Ebay or Akibahara popularity has...

I see now. Quad can’t be driven by single 6C33C. This is well know fact and I did a lot of experiments with Quads and Lamm ML-2.0. For whatever reason as ML-2.0 drives Quads it produces Stingy Sound. I can’t explain it but it is not the sound that ML...

It is good, very good. Actually I did not expect that it would be so easy and some resentful at the same time. I was running the new horn, juts single horn, listing it here and there, trying to get a precise high-pass crossover point. The 18.5uF turn...

Thank you both for your thoughts. The space is interesting: not a cellar, but a sleeping area just big enough to fit a super king size bed, with one of the walls being half open, so it would not pressurize quite like a fully sealed room. Further, it ...

Sorry Romy, i can't tell you about life longevity of 6E5P in my amp 'cause i'm not using them there anymore :)For my speakers two-stage SE sounded much nicer, more balanced and clear with more volume. Well at least it was easy to predict, considering...

And email from a site’s visitor:….
“And for my full-range Melquiades, should I still try and build the original version or wait to see result of what you are working on now?”
This is a complicated question about 2-stage Melquiades vs. single-stage...

of MTM arrangement of two TAD 1201 in <100 Hz Horn ? I assume they would both work in the same frequency range . Also JBL LE8 is only 89 db driver and it doesn't look like it can take any power . Difference in efficiency within the channels would ...

Since the greatest differences in audio are among listeners, there is no need to argue whether such things are audible.However: While it no stretch to say from personal experience that such things are audible, it is very much a stretch to s...

[quote user="oxric"] You have often questioned the nature of my relationship with Fane. There is none but as this project comes close to a final conclusion, I would say there have been moments when Fane have been less than helpful. They had never men...

I was sitting in my fireplace room; eating my freshly cooked oyster mushrooms and listening a master dub of Munch and BSO take on Damnation De Faust. No matter how primitive the setup was in this room the experience was enjoyable even sound was annoy...

Putting together a speaker system that ticks all your boxes is a lot like doing anything else well: it is fine to experiment in order to find your range and learn your options but once you choose a path you must stick to it. Chopping and changing i...

ZZ, clearly, no single driver or pair of drivers can reproduce the range and power of an orchestra, and each of us deals with this according to our own personal demands and resources. The concern of this thread is trying to juggle/work with "phase" ...

Glad to hear you have found a satisfying point so that you can listen to your system.Certainly the low bass is not as critical to your being able to enjoy the system, although no question there is much to be gained from that being optimized.Trying to...

In his latest YouTube,Romy mentioned using my prepro to time align my drivers.I use the Trinnov Altitude 16 prepro which has a total of 20 channels. 16 of the channels have balanced analog outputs and the othe four Channels use the rca and optical sp...

Can we really say that the "lowest fundamental" from an orchestra is 30 Hz? I sort of wish it were true!Something I think we can all agree on is that hi-fi tends to suffer from lower fundamentals and harmonics that are not properly proportioned, and...

People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the observation that there are no good ...

It is it, I eventual got what I was striving for a while and now my MF DHT channel is done and the most important is that it now sounds exactly how I need it to sound. The new 25:1 loading turned out to be the key. It is “fast” enough and I did n...

Jim, what is operational point of the 6E5P, what it drivers (how it coupled) and how do you bias the 5E5P? BTW, the clipping at the bottom is very good, very symmetrical. Try to measure which stage clips first: the driver or the output stage. One m...
|
|
[quote user="N-set"]BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in th...

Hello every body, I live in France and I'm new on this forum.I'm thinking to build (some months) a mono big Single Ended amplifier (200-300 watts) made with triodes (IDHT or DHT doesn't matter for me) for outdoor professional audio.Have you got an on...

You say that you are looking for accurate mids and highs? Well, maybe a wide range driver could get the mids right, but if you have ever have seen a spectral analysis, you would see how much distortion/resonance is present - that many of us hear. Sur...

A few days ago a friend of mine and I did spent over an hour to fantasize what might be done if the ULF tube SET is planned. It is not so simple as to drive the tube like 833/GU-48, you will not be able to do with Milq driver. But I also would like d...

[quote user="js"]Could anyone please advise me as to the recommended rear chamber volume for a Le C'leach horn with a throat of 240cm2, mouth of 7089cm2, length of 47cm, cutoff of 160Hz, T of 0.8? I'm thinking of using a Beyma 122Nd which has a sd o...
