Keep your eye on the ball! Certainly the DPoLS's would emerge more readily under the watchful eye of such leaded glass:And now Romy doesn't have to look at that pool house with no emerging bikini clad female.Steve...

If I bought a case of a good wine and loved it and so then bought 3 cases of the next vintage because I was assured it was better year and the wine arrived and I tasted the wine and it was horrible I'd be upset also.

I think what they did was to put filters, maybe just a simple capacitor on the AC side to try and reduce the noise that the units inject back into the ac mains. Perhaps they were getting complaints that the units worsened the electricity noise in the...

It is the bass cello wine rack I am after of course.Romy, seriously, I shouldn't have charged you for that 2 cases of Has Christian Glaciovinum, I don't know why I did, and now after this fresh future offense of stealing your gloriously kitchy wine r...

Romy if you invite me to your house for a poetry slam I must warn you that I will steal this Guarwineus from you while you are in the attic checking the 42 Hz horn drivers for the relative humidity of their cones. I will be singing as my tires squeal...

In an airplane hanger. But it doesn't matter this is not the final resting place of this system and is just the easy assembly point for building and testing. The echo for me offers little interference with evaluating these goals. Once I am happy with...

I needed 20Hz - 50 Hz in a large 7 meter x 6 meter x 15 meter room, and I wanted a sealed design. I have wine barrels laying around and fortunately the internal 4 cu ft of a wine barrel is perfect for 2 x 15 inch woofers in a sealed system. The barre...

Here is the set up working on trying to lower mechanical excursion w/o using large horns:5 way system. Crossover points are 40, 100, 750, 7500 the vertical JBL array 1400 mid horns have a horn tweeter built into their top. Yes the 15-40 Hz channel a...

Two nuns stopped by the winery today to get a donation for the poor for Christmas. I asked it it was OK and gave them bottles of my wine, which seemed to make them very appreciative.I know where it is going. I think you should give what you make with...

Very very hard for we Americans to overcome. It is ingrained in us early, I imagine. The idea that the objectives sets the budget rather than the budget sets the objectives is hardly a common procedure in capitalistic society. It is why even the most...

Have you seen it? As if the methodology of discriminating listening required this *Rodin's the Thinker* posture.

Nasa discovered a new bacterium that substitutes arsenic for phosphorus in it's biochemistry, which literally changes what scientists think life is capable of being.I was here near the beginning and didn't stay too long as my motivations in audio are...

RomyIt looks like the getter material has been vaporized off the center of the eye area by electron impact and redeposited nearby just outside the eye in a thickening are thats is very reflective because of it's thickness. Like a moon crater.Steve...

I think that thinking about the audio problems in terms of phase is perhaps logical but counter productive for the reasons you enumerate Paul. It is not the humane thinking... but room *loading* and the DPoLS placement philosophy are... feeling the m...
|
|
Paul,Well if we are trying to *load* the room, to make the space we inhabit come alive to the gods of music then we have to either get the phase mostly right or overcome it with sheer force which is... um... kinda loud. Phase cancellations klll the r...

Romy,I don't see a wine rack in the view of the speakers. I believe that the wine needs music to age properly, just as we do. A dark cellar is said to have advantages but the fish down there are albinos. Perhaps some research into how the music of Sc...

If anyone is going to the Montreal Audio Show April 2-4 this year there is a concurrent playing of Mahler 2 in town. See ya there.Steve...

Has anyone tried the MSB 'Platinum series' Dac's? I heard the most grain free digital I can recall coming from a MSB Platinum III Dac at the CES show. It was directly feeding MSB amps and on some prototype MSB speakers with 5" ceramic mid and di...

Of course many of the most important discoveries are made purely by accident...Most of the discoveris I have made in audio have had an element of chance in them. Sometimes you go to Las Vegas to *roll the dice*. :-)But your point is hard to argue fro...

Romy,Now that I am home for a couple weeks after the CES extravaganza I am listening to my system and wondering why I thought I needed a tweeter at all. For me, the problem with experimenting with the e-bay $200 plasma tweeters is the health iss...
|
|
KIS,I have owned the Martin Logan CLS's so I have some long term experience with electrostatics. To me it seems that the Acapella plasma tweeter (which I have heard for a total of less than 30 minutes!) had a SIMILAR quality of sound and yet a&n...
|
|
Romy,Point taken on the Ozone issue...do the catalytic converters in the units work effectively? I do not know. There are relatively inexpensive measuring devices for it.I agree completely that they sound different. You can see in my language that I ...
|
|
Yep KIS. I dont use tweeters at all...just run a pair of Fostex 4" per channel in a sealed box from 250 Hz to where they will go. There is a little upward tilt which Romy rightly complains about to all the gods that wil...

I was captivated by the extraordinary Acapella tweeter at CES this year in their Violon III speaker demo...I think I had heard a version of this tweeter before in a different acapella speaker, and never noticed it as being wonderful...but t...

GuyYou know I think that we make this all too hard on ourselves.You recognize when sound is correct without any perceived memory. The recognition is pre reflective and unconscious. The more you think about how it is supposed to sound...the farther yo...

Ant,For every individual the cause of this experience of dialog is possibly very different.For myself it is not so much the performance, for reasons it will be easy to see, but the composer and more closely the period when the composer live...

Perhaps a good place to start is with music that demands more from the listener than the listener demands from it. As if the music is searching you for an explanation rather than you searching the music for one. If the music sets up this di...
|
|
Well... musical fidelity, as opposed to audio fidelity, is in the ear of the beholder. Very hard to make scientific inquiries into something as subjective as a mental process. For Audio fidelity you need a different site where such concerns...
