Rich,I have been experimenting with true Litz magnet wire (we use it in our transformers occaisionally) and have discovered that you can use discreete amounts of plastic dielectric material, spaced down the length of the wire, to "tune" the dynamic c...

Romy,What is the possibility of just dumping the wav files to cd as a data disc?Not as a red book audio file, just a copy from your HD. Or, we could just start sending you our spare hard drives for data dumps, I have two 30 gigs laying about uselessl...

I am certain you are welcome to what ever help any or all of us have or can provide...
In that vein..... the only CD's that I have found to be worthy of
using, to copy audio to, are made, or resold, by TDK as the Music CD-R
(not CD-RW). The impo...

Romy,The only card that seems serious is the Creative Live Drive series. They have the capability of encoding at HDCD sample rates and also have a front panal input / output fascia with many conntrols and buttons to explore and screw up with. I have ...

My first choice would be a Sony SACD recorder with storage in SACD format. Quite expensive, but I would not use an expensive Sony playback device. Their early models (still available new on ebay) were designed to show how much better than regular CD ...

|
actually I agree with Romy, to a degree.... If the amplifier is a push pull device, using my output and input splitter devices of course, then an interstage transformer is a much better choice than rc coupling. Using transformers designed to the crit...

This has been a very informative discussion folks. I am not a horn person... not through any lack of interest, but I am married. So, direct radiators rule.
However, I do not like the sound of speakers and so developed a process for turning cone and...

Romy,
I actually prefer the essence from the other end of summer, that wet, clear water running sound, so exuberant and hopeful ... though autumnal music has its own joys.. you only need encounter Vivaldi's Four seasons portrayed by N. Marrine...

Romy,
First thing I would try is a single dot of Elmer's White Glue applied in the exact center of the dome, on the outside. The dot would be the size of a round wooden toothpick, cut off at the beginning of the taper. Dipped in the glue, the end of...

Only with the finest of Russ drinking vodkas, then off to Jose Quervo Five Gold Coinand something really salty... then we can sing to the domes and they will clean themselves, without our having to have a Memorex moment and scouring them with our ton...

I have a really barbaric suggestion... of course. I can set you up with 8 lLinaeum, soft, live horn, dipole tweeters. Stacking 4 per side should see you at 103 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms of impedence. You can stack them without interference diffr...

Romy,
Put them in a box and send them to me. Did you notice the replacement diaphrams available on eBay? Gone now, but they did not sell so will probably return.Bud...

Thanks James. Do you read Italian? I would be interested in knowing what exactly those air coils are for, I assume interstage but the picture is not worth a thousand words. It appears that the formers are plastic, but, could they be wax? That would b...
|
|
CV,Nicely put.... and thanks for the Rp information on the 6C33. Do you have any thoughts, or a curve trace source, about the Rl ratio?
Now, since air core's are to be your weapon, here are some thoughts to explore.
1. Wind biffilar or ...

Romy,
Air core is ok, but. 1. Self inductance in an unmitigated field clumps. You can easily see this by unwinding a hockey puck style air core inductor and measuring the inductance with each turn removed. Never will you have the smooth loss of indu...

Paul,They might. If they are radial rings, straight out from center to outer edge then no effect. If they are a spiral then maybe a small effect that will cause you to coat the cone in the Microscale product with 3 or 4 coats. For circumferentia...

Brian,Microphone diaphrams, headphone diaphrams ,dome tweeters, all have to have the pattern applied with a technical pen i.e. Kohinoor or Mars. These are becomming a little difficult to find in all towns. A 50% mixture of Poly S and water should be ...

Please, have some fun. First download the white paper to see what the patent artists came up with. It is essentially correct but not to scale.
Note that it requires 18 offset sets of blocks around the periphery of a cone. About two degrees of space ...

HI Brian,
No doubt that sigint would incur a big increase in intelligibility, to say nothing of the improvement in music to fly and fight by. Works real good on headphones.
I spoke with a female development engineer with the Navy back in the early...

Scott,This process has little if any effect upon harmonic distortion. Using a Liberty Audio test suite, it is possible to find some very minor trade off from odd order to even order distortion. But, if it is indeed occurring, it is so small as to b...
|
|
Antonio,You should expect to hear just the music. In explaining the effect of this process in words, I am in a simmilar position to Romy with his Melquiades amplifiers.Most speakers sound just fine, to those who are used to them. We have, in our sens...
|
|
Romy,Just one last note here, since many folks will start here. Having finally finished reading your enourmous work on the Vitavox drivers I would NOT reccomend using this process on them. It would be so very difficult to arrive at the corr...
|
|
Romy,You may post the paper if you like. It is public domain material. I did send a copy to Antonio so any immeadiate need has been met.If you meant that you want to explore this process on your own, then you need some basic supplies. 1. Speedball pe...
|
|
Antonio,Works just fine with ported, unported or open baffle. The process works on the boundary layer of the cone. This is the very thin area between cone material and air. The actual mechanism just disallows energy trapped in this zone from reflecti...
|
|
Romy,It is interesting that you say that the problem is well known. I discovered this application in 1972, while trying to come to a solution for the sonic insults being supplied by a pair of Ohm F speakers. I eventually got them to act somewhat as W...

I too am uninterested in Audio theories. I do not want to hear audio either. I design and build transformers, interconnect cables, speaker cables, treat speaker emitters, mounting face plates, boxes, etc., so I do not have to hear audio. List...

I have been poking around your highly intellectual site for a day or two now. Quite excellent. I noticed you have direct drive towers for bass fundiment support. Would you want to clarify their activity and bring it to the level of the horns? I have ...
