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...

Adrian, although I find plenty of "mono" recordings that sound better to me in "mono", I will always take good stereo over good mono, other factors being equal. Sure, some "stereo" is so poorly done that it just does not work as stereo.&nb...

[quote user="Paul S"]OK, I'll be the one who breaks down and asks: Romy, please share about how the system is sounding these days.
I figured you had your hands full with channels integration and balancing, but as I recall you did have one Chan...

I have ais very much the same configuration as Adrian has and I find work the best for me. I have PP plugged
in a single dedicated line and it is plugged with all 3 pins, including the ground.
The PP shall not work with lifted source ground, it g...

Clark, your point is well taken, but I understood we have been talking about whether or how to achieve a working balance between high-demands audio and a growing, young family, with an eye on Romy's present "main" system/investment. Are you saying ...

Hi Romy,
Could you explain a little more about the amp? If I understand you correctly it is a 1 tube stage with solid state (Mosfet or Bipolar??) output. If it is Mosfet then it is likely to be running without negative feedack, is that r...

Hi Guy, The Oracle seems like a nice solution - I saw you write up on Peter Empson's forum. They seem compact enough for my requirements. How do you handle time-alignment with the mid-range? Or is this not a problem? To be honest with you I'm not exp...

Mani, a month or so ago you posted a question at this site asking how possible to use Pacific as the ONLY DAC in playback. Sine at that time you deal with Pacific was pending we decided to remove the post in order do not create unnecessary agitations...

Decoud,
There is a lot of information on the subject of architectural horn design on this site. I would advise you to read older posts, use search. You might start from this one:

Hello all (from Thailand)!I found this very intersting horn society here by accident and would like to show and share my first experience with horn speakers system.It's consist of 4 way system .[IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/krairerk/hi...

It is not as naive question as you think. Naivety is what the Morons with a so-called full-range drivers demonstrate, feeling that a single driver acoustic system has some kind or theoretical or practical advantage. Sure, to reproduce “a girl wi...

Again, I am not in position to make any judgment about the Tapped Horn as I still do not know if it is produce faulty sound or not but from design perspective a Tapped Horn opens some interesting design possibility. If the horn is large then it still...

This looks a bit like a giant ear canal, but in a way, it's the
opposite. It's the largest horn in the most powerful sound system in
Europe. The system's maximum output, according to the European Space
Agency, would kill any human exp...

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 ...

The finest reproduction I have heard was close enough to a real event in sound that with eyes closed you could believe that it was real even though you knew it wasn't. Then a slight imperfection or two intrude to remind...

Hi Romy:
I am trying to build up a good audio system on a budget and have enjoyed reading about your philosophical approach to music and music reproduction.
I will not waste time with "what to buy" equipment recommendations in magazines or th...
