This guy is certainly trying...... What I have heard shows at least speakers that are very listenable

Well, Romy has often said it, digital can delay but not filter and analog can filter but not delay (in respect to sound quality). I most certainly agree.So the speaker is not time aligned and they try to clean up the mess digitally. Perhaps with a mo...

The Martion speakers ignore time alignment among other things.. How good can the bass be when the overtones are not even aligned?...

There is always the argument that if you can't hear it, it can simply mean that your hearing sucks.......
When my second son was setting up his mobile recording studio we wanted an external RAID array for speed (mor...

This has to be the single post that has most moved me since coming to the goodsoundclub.I think the difference in cooking is that good cooks all have equivalent equipment (knives, pots, spoons) and create the experience through their choice of softwa...

Well, I may be one of the dummies here, but there are several things that could be viewed as "wrong" if sound was the primary goal:1) 95dB speakers and SET amps2) SET amps instead of DSET3) components assembled without a sonic goal - rather only comm...

How the hell can a miserable recording of a live Rolling Stones concert be any reference for advanced playback. I'll bet that everyone that attended the concert was amazed - and that had to be about the shittiest sound known to mankind produced b...

The question is: why mess around with untried concepts before you try something that already has a track record. If the sound were not good would it be the driver, your output stage, the match of amp to speaker - or something else that you don't unde...

I am a Mac user with Safari and Firefox- I can click in the knowledge tree on the links, but nothing goes anywhere. The table of contents are not even showing as a link. Looking at the source, I don't understand why this doesn't work: <tr>

I think that any line level tube stage can be every much of an expressive tool as any other device in the chain. I am also not sure that the biggest difference between digital and analog is the sampling process.How "transparent" is a cutting lathe or...

I have experimented with SS/SET and now DSEP for ceramic magnet horn drivers. I will agree that ceramic drivers with SETs that I have heard being suboptimal, but after a year of DSEP, at least for my use case, I am quite content. I cannot explain it ...

[quote user="noviygera"]This is the amp I chose and just started building! Would it be possible to contact you directly, rowuk? I want to consult about the build and your experience, without flooding this post with specific questions. Or you can cont...

I have been using this amp for almost a year. In the context of my system, it works very well.[quote user="noviygera"]anyone familiar with the sound of this amplifier RH-307a?http://rh-amps.blogspot.com/2013/09/rh-307a-v2-super.html[/quote]...
|
Gera,I think that it is impossible to "generalize" what a specific amplifier topology is. There are too many variables to really pin it down.When we have any amplifier without feedback, it is VERY sensitive to the speakers connected. This means a goo...

It of course is hard to say anything about the midrange without hearing the speaker. LF and HF are surely standard yellow cone.It is cold in Germany this time of year. A GM100 amp would be an inefficient but beautiful heater in the 20 square meter ro...

Yes, it was a very "bad" generalization. In the context of GoodSoundClub, I will say that amplification removes the absolute necessity for matching of efficiency within a couple of dB. Whether or not the tweeter needs 115dB output depends on what ran...
