OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. My current PC music streamer, a ...

I was tipped off to a dac over at the proaudio forum Gearslutz. It is usually difficult to gauge those users references as most are responsible for many of the bad habits in audio record engineering. One user who I seem to agree philosophically with ...

I would not say the circuit (per se) was becoming more sensitive to tube choice (and neither would I claim it's not...); I would say that as I have developed the system I have been better and better able to hear what more and more piec...

This is a very interesting issue you raised. I would say that before audio designers could proceed in such a textbook manner they would have to be able to recreate original sounds in any given environment. (I'm limiting the discussion here to acousti...

At last weekend's HiFi Wigwam Scalford show several members brought together various elements to make this 5 way speaker system.[IMG]http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh107/pure_sound/communalsystem.jpg[/IMG]Picture courtesy of Alfie29021. Raal Amor...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "System Update 9/29/10"), Pham has...

[quote user="kodomo"]I dont think a standart klipschorn would satisfy the cat. I had one, then I heavily modified it and in the end I built my full scale horn system. I still keep that modded khorn system as a second system.If I may suggest, if you u...

The reticulated foam makes a difference and that is for sure. However it does lower the output. From about 1db up to 2.5db! depending on the amount you put inside your horns. Is it transparent? It is not, as it creates and audible difference even if ...

I've been listening to my system tuned by Romy. So far, this is what I think is happening. I don't want look like a kid puffing up to look like an adult, so will try to be simple.The most noticeable difference is the increased dynamics an...

What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! I know I keep saying it, and it is embarassing, but it's still true! I live near a school now ...

Rowuk, I do not think that “ideal
horn system” is what you describe. I think earlier in my audio development I adherent
to the same fallacy: I envisioned that ideal system is a compilation of design efforts,
something that intricacy factored into ...

ATTENTION SOUND ENGINEERS
Dear sound engineer,
As you certainly know, a recording that sounds BAD on a "high-end" or "audiophile" playback system may still sound GOOD or at least acceptable on a the average more modest mass-marked systems (such a...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

It took me a while to figure out an effective grounding scheme for the system, and it has taken me until today to finally get around to lifting the K&K's chassis ground at the wall.The unit is still grounded to the whole system dedicate...

... may be a good thing, perhaps? I'm currently thinking about just how good I want my system to be. Even my present speakers - Altec A7 - tell me quite a bit about the atrocities mny recording and mastering engineers like to inflict on the performan...

[quote user="Paul S"]Very interesting way to frame it, Adrian. I always unthinkingly thought of "neutrality" as "faithful to what's on the record", with a Grand Assumption that if there's music on the record, then a +/- "neutral" system wi...

This is an interesting subject. My system certainly follows the 'form follows function' rule but I have wondered how the looks of a speaker (or entire system) effects the listener's perception. Of course we have all experienced some male grunti...

Yes. I’m exiting to see how the new horn I shaping up. Still I do not think that it is about second orders. Obviously in context of 5 channels system, the more channels one gets then less room between them. I still feel...

Romy!Just to be cleared, GOTO has never claimed that time alignment is not important nor to suggest their customer that time alignment is not important. In a home listening environment, it is very difficult to do time alignment with a 3 or 4 way...

No system ever resembles live music. imho. But you can get pretty close.Can you describe or share a pic of the horrid horns systems you have listened to?I also hate most badly designed "horn" systems too.Usually most "Horn" systems have a 15" woofe...

Certainly not the most practical and inexpensive, but probably the system that could keep better the "size and weight" of a performance, just the same way this system did 70 years ago. I don't think a computer based system would keep it, no...
