Clark: You heard what units can do in my place.Romy: Took your advice and added high frequency rolloff to the woofers. The sound did clean up the way you predicted. Now if I can get my subwoofer amplifier back asnd rebalance the system.Paul: Am erxtr...

Romy - The sails may or may not fit the aesthetics of your room but it will be tough to get the fans to work effectively with them installed. I thought that a sail furling system might be an interesting option. There are different types but in a nut...

A few local audio guys temporarily donated to me some gear that completely out of blue made me to have my Opera Room operational. I have a big screen, some kind of a good projector, in few days I will have a good player. The sound is the Altec 19 and...

Something I see a lot of in studios is the "distribution amplifier", that joins and splits the audio (and/or "video") signals into any number of channels. I believe I want buffering, but I am not ready to track and impliment the "balanced" configura...

[quote user="Serge"]Silbatone used a WE horn to play in mono and a pair of their own horn cabinets for 2-channel.The very cinema sound reinforcement looking horn was, I was told, a 16B. I will post some comments about the sound a bit later. [/quote]T...

My understanding of Romy's point is that in addition to the designer's perception of what sound shall be, and marketing whore's mischief, we consumers share some of the burden of responsibility for the buying choices presented to us.

Although I mostly buy CD's, I have never been a fan of the format and still prefer LP's. As such I would welcome some value added content. The trouble is, I suspect it won't be music (the only real value added content of interes...

My lovely Japanese girlfriend enjoys teasing me about my love of Tchaikowsky. She thinks his music is too "sweet" and "romantic". I do love listening to Tchaikowsky, even Nutcracker. Yes, it is sweet and catchy. Maybe it is making h...

I had my friend visited (he is on video in red) and he asked to play his music to evaluate coloration. His verdict was - he doesn't hear horns!He never used horns because of coloration and was very skeptical about my project, but he said that it is f...

Thinking about it again and again I decided for now to have integrated connection of my AV. The BlueRay player will be plug to the preamp of the main system. The preamp will drive two power amps: Milq and SS amp. The Milq will drive the full scope of...

In my life I have mostly seen either visual people or sound people. So my guess is if you try to depict sound visually -- ad or video or commercial, you are catering to visual people -- those are the movies people. But movies people don't care about ...

Tonight, after playing some files from my laptop and USB DAC into my main system, I decided to browse the BSO site for some possible new downloads. While I was there, I saw a button to listen to a webcast of Tanglewood's Aug. 8 performance of M8, so...

Well, as I understand the iPlayer version is M4A files, which is low-loss compression of audio part of MPEG-4 video. It would be interesting to get uncompressed (I mean digitally uncompressed file). I also do not know that bits rate in that M4A compr...

I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than I have some light MF buzzi...

Another hobby that I'm involved with is saltwater aquariums. People used to enter the hobby as children when they would get their first 10 gallon aquarium as gift or hand me down. Now kids would rather play video games then actually mess with a hobby...

I always wonder why Playback is so merciless to chamber music. We can get Sound out of chamber music and playback is fine to do all audio tricks to make less say quartet music to sound very impressive. However, Playback always miss the body movement ...

I was offered to buy Micro seiki RX5000. The seller sent me a short video. If you see it carefully you will notice that the platter moving slightly up and down. Is that that normal or this could be sign that the bearing is not in good condition?

[quote user="steverino"]But the prospective Magico owner needs to know whether the Magicos reproduce the real Taiko drum closely enough to scare and demoralize all the JDs in the neighborhood. It's like those recorded barking dogs that homeowners use...

A wonderful post, haralanov, thanks you for posting it. It is pleasant to see that the person does not recite the idiocy that he heard from others but express his own thinking. I happen to disagreed with his approach. I do understand that driving...
