It's a very easy to use, little space and processor consuming, free tool that I'm regularly using to record onto my hardisk the radio program my brother in law broadcasts thru internet. It can be configured to record from the S/PDIF or any other digi...

[quote user="Wojtek"]With the stock radio-CD and buzzing fulrange speakers in my Civic I often find myself puzzled how pleasant and musical this crap sounds. If only I could get close to it at home -fruitless pursuit so far .Romy when it comes to tub...

Well, I do not know how about NY, since it is local for you guys, the NY stations might care different source for their broadcasts, but it looks like we around the world are getting very poor quality of MET broadcasts. I do not know where even to sta...

I am curious how the Lindberg piece came across WGBH last night.Here in Chicago WFMT had the live feed.The results in my home were poor at best. It seemed my system was completely overwhelmed by what Magnus the Great offered. I just don't know wher...

Last night electricity was surprisingly OK, despite of the current heat wave and that everyone runs air-conditioning and I found myself listing deep into high. It was mostly LP and I came to a few interesting observations regarding the sound of my ai...

I have lived with the Koetsu Onyx Platinum also and I agree. I did not really enjoy it very much in my system no matter what I did. However, honestly, when I first heard Koetsu many years ago (it was a Rosewood Pro IV), I was really drawn...

Keith,I am sorry, man, but you are so incredibly predictable! Your accents on the assessments of sonic attributes of audio elements are so banal and so “wiling” that is it almost boring. I this giving case, knowing something about the Stahl-Tek...

Regards,This statement is so incendiary I just had to comment.Given what a horn is designed acoustically to do, it only makes sense that it absolutely must be affected by the material used, since all materials have different reflective, absorpti...

It is wrong to conclude from:
" By the way, the listening tests performed by Keith Holland confirmed that in blind listening tests of various commercial horns, the material, wood, metal, fibreglass, etc was not correlateable with perceived quality....

Another very interesting aspect of the Water Dropping of Macondo is a dramatization of silences and influence of LF decay. Macondo has no own noise and the Super Milqs are dead quiet. However, the perceptions of silence with the Water Drop tweeter an...

The sail ideas sound good, and I did play with it a little (before realizing the magnitude of this rooms acoustic problems).When you talk about diffusing effects, I think of reflections and reverberation that smears the sound so that it looses focus ...

Thanks, El, an interesting driver indeed. It would be interesting to listen the thing though I have personally no use from that type of driver. Purely on the specs there are some moments that I would like to see different. The 250Hz resonance freque...

[quote user="nl"] However, these sorts of basshorns with twin 15" drivers and a very large mouth (larger than the cones of the drivers) have a long history. The Altec 210 cabinet, as used in the Altec A2 systems with two 515-type woofers, is a prime ...

The idea that Romy brings up is a very interesting way of looking at the audio reproduction of music, by raising questions about human response to situations in which we are compelled to actively participate in the audio process. Old live recor...

In the thread: “The industry-embraced audio and classical music” Stitch made a post that implied that the industry-sponsored indifferent sound is more attracted to the people who has a lot of money. I do not know how accurate that observation but...

Actually Jorge brought a valid perspective: the HF that are crossed at 5K are not the same as HF that are crossed at 10K. The point is that in a playback that crossed at 5K one can’t talk about HF as a self contained expressive tool as in that type c...

Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much satisfied but as I am goi...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

I'm way too lazy to double check the math, but it looks on the face of it like the 6N6P is one answer to the numerical problems you've posed so far.As for sound, I would prefer the best 6SN7s. But who can find them and who can afford them, once they...

Probably not the best place to post this, but in response to the related observation in the referenced post:How can we impliment the PS that seems always willing to blow itself up in service of the Music, if called upon to do so?Perhaps when the ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi romy, thanks for info. I am going to stick with the 2-stage plan then as it will not be DSET but full range and my mid-bass is somewhat barbaric at this point. I have found someone to build for me, though we ha...

The new Super Milq is running for a days, amplifying burn-in tracks; the MF channel is loaded to 12R resistor. After a couple days of disgust even to look at the amp I decide to see tonight what happening with sound now and to my surprise Sound did c...
|

Mark, what loudspeakers are you planning to drive in this configuration? The single-stage amp is 2W and the full-range Milq is 6W -7W. Anyhow, look at my replies to others in this forum. I always advise before thinking about DSET around Milq to famil...
