Not sure if I mentioned this before, in my solar/battery system, which is similar to Bills, sound is best at night when there is no sun and the inverter is drawing only from the batteries, but during the day with zero clouds the sound is really com...

The Trinnov is in my system for the first time tonight. Just a rough optimization done and running 8 channels in Auro3D configuration including Macondo, 2 front height, two rear height, two surround...very rushed...no great care taken setting things...

Bill, I do not think that what you describing is contribution of solar power. The actionable factors in your playback is new regenerator and new battery. [/quote]For sure it is the inverter and battery contributing to t...

Bill, good to hear. Enphase are from California but your batteries, inverter etc. could be from anywhere. I have an off-grid Enphase based solar/battery system for my office which includes the audio/video. My improvements are not in the same leagu...

Thanks for the tips Bill. No Trinnov guy to do the setup at this stage but apparently there is access to Trinnov in France. I may end up getting the salesman here...not sure...he is a long way away. The unit is sitting in a box downstairs patientl...

Romy, the Vitavox quip was a cheap remark following some visits to some expensive audio installations. The two major areas where I felt these installations were lacking was right where the S2's and 15" in my system are implemented...the Vitavox driv...

Bill, in my experience I am finding it harder and harder to understate what the Vitavox S2 and K15/40 bring to the sound of a capable playback system. ...

Yes, my Trinnov is brand new with the all the current bits.My thoughts with that video were towards the conundrum of what has clicked to get your system to its current level of performance. When I was watching the video I thought there were several ...

Was looking on line to see how Trinnov changed the adc/dacs inside the altitude and found this rather interesting video. Bill, Romy, does any of this ring true?http://tempuri.org/tempuri.html...

Jarek, I currently do not do RI. The immersive channels have only been used for audio visual stuff thus far. I purchased a Lexicon somethinorother to try RI but never got there to take it out of the box. The Trinnov suits my purposes as I can use ...

A few months ago I met a statement in one on my videos bass channels should not be driven by the same crossoveed signal as a rest of the system. In my view it is the key. In my current view it needs to be very de...
|
|
Jarek, I would try to listen to any immersive channel before you buy too many of them as in my opinion they need to at least roughly match your main speakers in the type of sound they produce. Here, I've had several hi-end'ish standmounts and booksh...

Now that is an interview. ...

I presently have three bass channels: Upperbass horn; Bass Cannons with 8x Scanspeak 10" per side; midbass with 3 x K15/40 per side. I have excellent response down to 30Hz or so all run by DSET. Bass is spectacular now that the midbass channel is ...
|
|
Romy, I've put so much work into the line level filters that I am very reluctant to set them aside for digital if I was able to. 7 channels each side + 7 immersive channels + 2 immersive subwoofers = 23 channels total and the Trinnov16 only has 20 ...
|
|
I am building subwoofers right at this moment. Have gone with a modern 18" that I've never heard and a large AB amp to power them. Will be low passed somewhere around 30Hz so I doubt that driver quality will matter... at least I hope not. This w...

Dual voice coils Romy. Not sure if the Auros have dvc but if they do then perhaps different amps on each voice coil....

Apparently there were two type of S2 diaphragms made: aluminium with paper former till serial number 4941 in May 1972 and the direct wound type with polyester surround. Apparently the S5/S6 diaphragms are interchangeable and are also direct wound b...

Ha! That's a good story. My midbass channel is 3 x K15/40 per side. Two pair were purchased used and the third pair brand new. No real story with the new pair but the first used pair cost me $200 and apparently were used for many, many years as the...

Mike pulls the driver down and fixes what needs fixing. The prices have varied depending on what needed doing, including substituting in parts if warranted. These old transducers have all kinds of histories, having lived both easy and rough live...

I have four pair of S2 here, one pair purchased new during covid and the other three pair various vintages all sent to Vitavox for refreshing. The new production pair are the best sounding to ears in my Macondo....

Since you use the
injection channel, stop using it. The injection channel was a ridiculous idea
with exceptionally beneficial results, but now I have found it better. You have
two Tannoy Red 10 drivers. Use the HF...

Both UB Horn roll off circa 130Hz in room. There are a couple of rough MDF boxes here that I knocked up from spare sheet a while back. Have not tested them specifically at the intended spot behind me but running around with a microphone shows those...

A fascinating commentary Romy. I need to get my act together and implement my midbass channel. Unfortunately, my room is not happy with midbass produced in the vicinity of Macondo with broad cancellations in that range but I think will be fine in a ...
|
|
Nice one Jarek! Glad that you have it going. I've now switched my autoformer to the input as one of my new sources puts out over 10Vrms and I did not want to increase the bias. No real change in sound as far as I can tell. Enjoy....
|
|
Romy, I'll be digging round in my amps tomorrow and intend to install a filter for the red tweeter while there. What should I be aiming for? 7kHz first order from memory, but hoping you can confirm. Such a filter could be achieved just by changing...
|
|
Righto then, I guess there is no reason not to try this, except that one of the original crossovers here is non-functioning (if I remember correctly), so if trialling in stereo I'll have to crossover in Melquiades. Should have the parts here to do t...
|
|
Yes, my DSET is fundamentally the same as yours with 6 channels, three fullrange, 1627a for Channel C. The largest difference is probably that my DHT channel has its own B+.My preamp is quite different though, being a hybrid based on 10y. It has a ...
|

Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the crossover so that it matches the woofer. Romy, from what ...

Just turned on the TV to put on some YouTube while preparing to belatedly give Macondo a cleanup and right there was your new video...lost 45mins of cleaning time though, and those Bass Cannons take a lot of cleaning!Turns out the Red 10" pair I purc...
