Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We have no idea what this guy is looking in Sound[/quote]Yes, you are right. That's the biggest problem.I suspect he misused his gotos (at least to some degree), because there is nothing in the sound of these 2A9 drivers th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]since I know that you do not deal with horns and discuss it only as theoretical exercise I am not sure what we are talking about. [/quote]Hahaha :-) This experiment was made a few days ago by a friend of mine who is speaker...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Even though I do understand that advantages to run dedicated operation system but it do not automatically implies that the result will be better.[/quote]No, not automatically. But I believe using a minimalist open source op...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is was not bad sound but the sound that clearly indicated that something is very wrong: supper compressed, complete absent of LF, huge HF extension. The whole horn sounds like a bad MD driver.[/quote]Open the back panels...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

It was on March 1930. Clemens Krauss lead Vienna Philharmonic. After Walter, Bernstein (with Vienna only),Toscanini, Barbirolli, Cantelli, Levine, Furtwangler and Got only knows who esle I finally “got” the Brahms Third! What a Sound Krauss thrown!Th...

The cut is the beautiful Conchita Supervia is inging Carmen with Gustav Cloez in 1930http://www.mediafire.com/?iijmy0inmmoSorry for the clipping sound – it’s recorded at +3dB at the peaks. The damn SPU with its 3mV output and the 64dB in my phono...

One of my YO186 have developed a dark eye on it’s getter. Even the tube still measures fine and sound fine but I wonder what make some of those tubes to get dart spat of the getter gloss. I have seen it before and do not have any association between ...

Well, I think my Yamaha B-2 is not working well. It slightly cures my ego with MiniMe. I took today the B-2 and drive them with good conventional loudspeakers and it had the same sound –very very howly (and ugly!!!) sound under 200Hz… I wonder, do I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"]I would like to start a compendium of anecdotal observations of the idiosyncratic nature of COMPONENT PLACEMENTS in the circuit. [/quote]Surely all passive components in the circuit have influence, but I...

Denis,
In the PP 1050 I had better result what I use extra ferrites in deferential modes, or putting ferrites in each individual wire. I never had problem with PP 1050’s dynamics until I begin to add capacitance to the P...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]
OK, is it “randomness” of “freedom of movement”, the questi...

Took today my first new sauna. Yes, I agree that music is not working with sauna. I however am not sure if no sound at all can’t be used in sauna. I think some kind of new-edgy elevator music with a lot of LF might work quite well. Not that I am look...

[quote user="zanon"]Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?[/quote]Absolutely not, it is not what I meant. I meant that the only advant...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of v...

[quote user="morricab"] Now my biggest problem with tone from horns comes from the "cupped hands" horn effect, which is really nothing more than the resonances fromt he horn itself. [/quote]The "cupped hands" is not the characteristics of horn a topo...

You could source used TAD tweeters for ~$1K pair .They sound exceptionally smooth and extended .More so than infamous T-350 and with better "tone" which may be relevant since your 288 are tonaly "dead" according to the Cat. Who knows, he may be right...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it happens ONLY in the inhalations with improperly integrated drivers. The entire subject of the “improper integration” shall get rid of this possibility. I know that you use EdgarHorn and what I heard it at its best I did ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him an...

Although, I do admire the café as concept, audio-wide what is presented on the pictures is a damn nightmare, typically in-line with my expectation from that “type” of people. I am sure that you “freaking sounds great” is just your puffed up perceptio...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not care about all of Nilsson Pass amps; I feel that all the same and all are very sub-qualified. A few years back Mr. Pass went for his low-powered SS single-ended amps and they might be more interesting. The Cat[/qu...

Jim, yes, I use the 6E5P as triode, I never tried tetrodes, never has needs to do it. I have somebody tried them as tetrodes and commented negatively about their sound. I do not know if it is true – it what “they say”. Ironically I do not like how th...

Actually I need to correct myself. The purist with leaked out fluid do not change sound with the fully filed cables. The completely dried out cans with no residue of the fluid at all do have sonic results. The dried out Purist has a typical unpleasan...

Playing the Günter Wands’ recordings of the last Bruckner Symphony with NDR (North German Radio Orchestra) from 1978-88 during Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Another “amateur” conductor with phenomenal sound! I need a bigger place as I would like...

Richter and Karajan playing the Tchaikovsky PC1 are well celebrated performance. Some years back I had a fool fixation to get one moment from that play to sound in a certain way – I have perhaps 15 different pressings of the thing. Unfortunately I a...

That some kind of Association of Sound Historian in US has discovered the earlier know recording of human voice. It was made by scratching paper smoked with oil lamp. The recording is made in 1860 – many years before Edison – very interesting… Here w...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...
