I've run into that yucky place where words get in the way of ideas.The mastership is what i'm after. My problem has always been the electronic side of it. I bet i could design a driver that would get me as far as a driver could, but i'm always swimmi...

I know there are millions of ways to implement a digital amp, but i have no idea how easy it is to switch from one implementation to another. Or whether they sound any different.I got to thinking. Maybe a Bottlehead kit of some variety would satisfy ...
|
|
What i'm asking is for candidates that lend themselves to what i want to do.Which is to find or build a pair of 'monoblocks' that can be successfuly modified into a potentially multi-channel tuneable amp.Can you clarify what you mean by 'properly' re...
|
|
I'm about to do what amounts to building a new system.What i'd like to do is build/acquire a set of amps that can be hotrodded if-you-will in the vein of the melquiades re: channel tuning.my goals from a technical/mech perspective are the following: ...

After all, you still can't beat a tube for radio transmission.I haven't yet come across a single transistor that can do 35Kw[img]http://www.tubecollector.org/main/tal12-35.jpg[/img]...

I was just thinking.Isn't an riaa filter just a line level crossover for one channel (times stereo)? So what you say makes total sense....

[i]"because I
"foresaw" that it would take a personally-developed 5-way system with
dedicated amps not only to optimize this approach, but it would take
about that just to overcome what I did/do not like about horns"[/i]I tend to think it's more w...

There's a bunch more filmed beethoven on youtube. The Karajan performances are really well presented, the 5th is really cool. Check it out even if you despise Karajan's earlier 5ths, the cinematography and drama of the filming is great. http://www.yo...

I had pretty much the same impression and I was wondering if it would be corroborated. Perhaps another poster might have further insight?...

Hey, Rom, could you elaborate on the idea of a tractrix being "less intricate"? Seems like an interesting idea, but i don't really know what you mean....

I can't figure how Bert can mannage to successfully overcome the fact that the tweeter is sooo deep.I'm also curious about something else. I read in a recent post of yours that you have heard the mr. wolf's ultimates and that you consider that they a...

Is there any abstract value to going for a preamp with a stronger output if you're using a passive xo at line level?I'd prefer to answer this question myself but i really don't have the budget to be swapping amps.How does a PLLXO interact with a non-...
|
|
I'm thinking mostly of how a higher fq. unit will be situated acousticaly somewhat hidden by the flange of the nearest lower frequency horn. Setting up what can be an ugly situation from a difraction perspective. Either that or you have to space them...
|
|
one would take full advantage of what can be done in the digital domain so that the horn mouths could be arranged, not for time but to clean up their other interactions. This would be digital the entire way, solid state music files, digital amplifica...

here's an extract from some people involved in such research [url]http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1989ITED...36.2651O[/url]The miniature glass ones i mentioned, are called sub-micro and some examples are shown here: [url]http://www.oneillselectronicmus...

I had a little flash a few days ago thinking about potential.I've been following more high tech gadgets lately, things like the iPhone. And pondering ideal audio setups from the erspective of design and ergonomics. This had me thinking about solidsta...

How did you come to find out what audio was all about?it doesn't seem like one of those self obvious things to the casual....

the quote should read: "he that knows the tao, doesn't say. he that says, doesn't know"what i wrote was a paraphrase. but the original does better justice to the intent of the post....

That each piece of music tells something different, in a different way.Part of the fun of certain songs for instance works because of the way it troubles the electro mechaincs of a table radio.Some artists like to play in a big hall with a juicy echo...

It may only be temporary but the sonusaeterna link appears to be broken. it only took them 4 days to go out of business :)...

Researching more advanced display technologies i came across a reference to HDRI. high dynamic range imaging.i thought i'd link to the wikipedia page on the subject as i think it could help give some context to the colour vs texture vs contrast debat...

[i]"...the human ear is (...) a one membrane system, in a way, a mirror of (...) one driver."
Are you sure? Aren't there tiny hairs, each of which, given
SP, oscillates at a different frequency, thereby giving the brain the
particulars of ton...

Seems like a versatile option.If you click on the links on that page you'll see some really neat setups.Definitely one for the list....

"Once again, it would not be the unified answer and it all depends HOW YOU USE IT. "
You might built better audio or learn to develop more sensitive
perception and you end up with the same results. This why I, staring
from a certain level, refuse ...

it's got one heckuva phasing system.I've often thought about the punctured hf section type of thing but figured it couldn't really work, now, i really don't know....

i think there's something to be said for the 'black box with demanded performance'. in fact i used to come at it from that very angle, somehow expecting i could try everything to see if it had the demanded performance. it totally sucks that you can't...

Some may remember this: [url]http://www.clarisonus.com/blog/?p=85[/url]somewhere mixed into the responses to the article is something very important for understanding of sound playback. A someone who went by the moniker Shuvam wrote about learning to...

It'd be a pity if it weren't amicably resolved in the end, as he [i]does[/i] do nice work. It might be good to mention Michael Christ here: http://www.michaelchrist.com/and there are two outfits that seem to sell primarily through ebay"bent...

Ah yes that was the thread. You mentioned that the lowther was used too low on the hørning because a lowther could not honestly be used for a midbass. What i was thinking is that due to its design and retarded power to weight ratio it could be p...
|
|
Not to be too presumptuous but i thought i'd start a thread that could serve as a repository for lowther comments, ideas etc.the impetus for this was that rola experiment i mentioned in the cogent rmaf thread. I was thinking hmm, 'hard', 'shouty' tha...
