AFAIK all gear works on DC not AC ,why none of those enlightened designers ,design a PSU which is immune to the quality of grid. Do you have electrostatic shields in your power transformers ?? That would be the first step.Regards, L...

application far more sensitive than simple line linestage and in addition to that ,that pre is percived to be colored and syrupy tick. Are you trying to cover up that harsh and cruel sound you're talking about ;) Could you kindly explain why pe...

These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ? If the speaker will ...

It only uses Cogent f.c drivers .Josh Stipich from Electronluv is the designer/maker of horns and amplifiers and Cogent role is secondary (my guess) . Electronoluv aproach is afected by Sakuma designs and using lots of transformers&nbs...

I liked your previous post . A week ago I repaired old Telefunken tube radio (Single EL84 with array of alnico speakers ) with FM band and I'm listening to classical public radio for whole week. Not even once I had desire to turn on "big" system I'm ...

YoshiIt should not be a problem for you to borrow one of those plastic 150-200 Hz horns for your REPS .For restricted band as you're using it , it may sound interesting. I can imagine that other owners/users of Reps would be horryfied by the way you'...

say how much the old man is involved in all this cult and noise around him? I've also read all the poetic stuff on the site and can't say that this mystical aproach is not appealing. I had the impression that Sakuma just entertains himself makin...

Maybe TU-1x is different altogether and I did not try yamaha but every other SS tuner (kenwood, pionneer , nakamichi )sounded like you described -cotton ball ,pork fat salt and pepper . Because of that I gave up on SS tuners. The best tuner I heard s...

With the stock radio-CD and buzzing fulrange speakers in my Civic I often find myself puzzled how pleasant and musical this crap sounds. If only I could get close to it at home -fruitless pursuit so far .Romy when it comes to tube tuners is it a high...

at klamfil@earthlink.net and I'll check with Bud the shipping details.Since you have untreated pair it would be interesting to hear the difference ,also on a few occasions I behaved like a prick so I'd like to make it up somehow ;) Regard...

Since I occasionally listen To K &K rakk dac unit and like it quite a bit I was looking at their phono stage for a long time. This phono stage is a little scaled down (in PSU) version of ART Audio Vinyl One unit which is very well regarded. Kevin...

Following some "must have" isn't moronic just naive but not a bad way for starters (or just plain guys with interest in classical music but without ambition i.e ability and discipline, to become refined classical buff-snob) There are ages of beautifu...

Select 10 "must have ";0) and I'll take it from there. Regards, Wojtek...

Searching trough the local vinyl store I spoted Deutche Gramophone Tchaikovsky's booklet with Mravinsky conducting Lenningrad Orchestra .(Knowing my luck it is probably not the one to have ;0) What a beautiful music ! I don't have many Tchaikovsky re...

considering all the noise around your products but I agree with Roman (it took a little time) that audio should be priced based on performance, so if your gear performs you're free to price it accordingly . On the subject ,the speaker does look...

who is selling amp based on $20 IC Circuit for $2.5k wchich was called in some circles "a rip-off" ???? I think that above speakers represent exactly the same pricing structure like your products. (If you're not that guy though I'm soo sorry;)...

I just noted that they are not worst than majority of the market offerings which of course doesn't make them any good neither. I think the article is directed for student budget listeners .Either pipes with digital amp or slick boombox. ...

which most of horn guys just love and you Paul with your OB's are not blessed with ;) .As to those pathetic pipes your right of course but whats really pathetic that in most areas ( accept bass and scale ) those pipes worth maybe $100 are in pa...

Some years ago I've read on AA how great Ratt Shack 1197 (fostex f-103) drivers are (for whooping $2 a piece ), and some high-end German guys refuse to listen anything else than those Zigmahornet pipes. They are OK for background music and maybe for ...

..how slim and non-invasive it looks. I know it must be huge but one wouldn't tell from the picture. Very gracefull form -almost vintage with all that dust ;0) Good luck finding those DPol's. Regards, W...

Roman,In one of the recent posts you mentioned that you've found an acceptable solution for delay of bass, mid-bass horns .Is it only conceptual or you have something practical ? I'd like to add mid-bass channel to my Klipshorn bass-bins to take them...

Hi thereI've heard them a few times driven by Audio Research power plant amp and their best tube CD player. My friendly dealer explained to me principles of Vandersteen design. Small woofer (because big one isn't fast enough ??) with its own plate am...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually if that horn would not be bending atop, go for another couple feet vertically, consequentially has a smaller throat and of course has a strong back chamber then it would be a very good J-horn (presumably that the w...

I would turn upside-down mid bass horns ,mount drivers in Heavy box and cover plastic (ABS ?) horns with very thick layer of stynthetic plaster (the one LeCleach is using to "cast " his horns .So now he'd have horizontal J shape and it would be fairl...

and since you're quite critical about last Lamm's creations the chance is that the amp is indeed poor...Sorry but if company ask $126K for an amp with parts count worth of 500$ plus maybe , maybe another $500 in transformers I'd think they could spe...

I have a problem with navigation on your site so I probably missed the post explaining why preamp should bare the response for absolute transparency ?You reserve the right for the amp to inject an X factor and the sources can do what they wi...

Angelo ,Romy is right .Forget about him and his advices. Go to the mountains and find your inner truth....:0)For years he's drooling that S2 although not perfect is the most interesting compression driver and now when there is the chance that this dr...

Great idea , why only big boys can make money on chinesse labor.
How about WE 555 copy ? It should be even cheaper than S2 .Why they could not make a diaphragms too?? count me for 2 pairs.I don't think Roman is interested in Audio distribu...

I drive Honda (like most immigrants) and would not consider having a domestic car. Looking at your Melquiades pics I think I can match west coast's standards ;0) but you have to clearly know what you want as I won't be able (looking at your objective...

If you're willing to send it to the deep Midwest (Detroit) I could assemble the circuit for you and ship it back. Regards, Wojtek
