What fascinates me is the whole idea of room acoustic being basically invisible to us - despite measuring differently, we don't really notice the effects of room acoustics in the rooms we aren't actively listening in. Your friend's voice in an audito...

[quote user="scooter"] However, I had one very interesting observation living the "Class D;" plugged directly into the wall socket, they always sounded the same, regardless of day or time of day. That is the only audio gear I have ever encountered th...

Vasyachkin, if this is still relevant:I've tried dipole bass and dipole mids with horns mid/highs in my system. If anything, dipole works the WORST for the bass and here's why:It does not load the room with bass pressure (or bass sound). ...

I do not know why you got my comment as something about you. To think about you are less that I care. Instead of thinking what I or any other Moron said about audio I would propose you to develop own thinking. Dacs, electrostatics, headphones… they a...

Perhabs, wlowes. Might I ask you: when you refer to “sonic improvements”, “brought more life to the music”, deep quiet background and etc then what do you mean? What I am trying to say is that your rational might be logical and lucid but I wonder if...

In my case, the Wright Sound WPA3.5s, with ~8 Watts on tap in A2, could not handle my 97 dB speakers; not because it was not loud enough, but because the distortion was too much of a factor too much of the time, and "bass" was bass-ically A...

Yes, the raised-floor-with-vaulted-ceiling rooms are very hard to charge properly. Perhaps you might at this point begin to work on some of the floor sink treatments discussed up this thread?The corner "nook" can be framed in, if need be, with a doo...

[quote user="msaudio"]If you put your speakers in the back extra bedroom, you could have your cake and eat it 2. You will have a normal living room and your headphones sound that you love from small room will be back and better then ever and it don't...

I know the standard logic is that everything needs to be time-aligned, but essentially the lower the frequency seemingly the less critical time-alignment should be, at least on paper. I've heard of studies where it is suggested at low frequencies th...

hello kids, a few weeks ago i started my hunt for a pair of speakers....i've been attached to my big system with a pair of headphones for the past year and feel its time to get some speakers to listen to music with (plus, i think my ears are now...

that bass clarinet (?) sure is magical. Thanks for lighting the

I needed to lift my PP1500 off the carpet as it had not enough air circulation. Somewhere in the PurePower materials I read that vibration isolation is advisable, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I've got a set of nice metal roller foot...

As with the "audiophile" recordings, it is often difficult for me to separate the sound, per se, from "the way it sounds to me", in terms of content. Also, IMO, even the best "sound" cannot rescue a poor score/performance/recording/mix/processing/co...

I know, it makes sense to think about me in such a way because of not knowing more about me, but I definately have potential to get to good places in audio if I just had some things improved here and there... I have belief in my capability even ...

I find the discussions about "mad" electricity interesting because:We don't know what is causing the problemWe don't know what is fixing the problem but that PP seems to have something that gives at least a predictable result.I mean, we are not talki...

Consigned to the root cellar? In such a small space, "cranking it up" is a relative term, but I think this could be more interesting than headphones. Anyway, there's no substitute for trial and error. I would say, basically, use a good front end a...

N-set, actually, I have seen a stacked-L schematic like you posted, with stacked caps layered over and R at earth for the tank, and I am on record as saying it is very elegant. So, sorry to be such a skeptic, but I learned a long time ago that the o...

would be finding midbass and midrange drivers with a similar character which allowed a good integration between them. Once I knew the drivers I might desing the horn (glubs, not so easy) and ask a skilled professional to build it for me, not impossib...

[quote user="anthony"]Macondo is no magic bullet. Sure, Macondo/DSET is put together in a way that it's components need for optimal operation, and when "used as directed" the performance is phenomonal, but it is still prone to room integration and p...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

I is funny how my listening attitude is working. While my midbass horn is not built I do not listen music on my main system. I listen in via my MiniMe (Dunlavy 3) or in my headphones at work. At my home system I do not listen but rather think how it ...

I've sort of "analyzed" your thinking (more like taking what you've said so far and continued with my own ideas) and come to the conclusion the most you could do in "your" (could be more like mine) type of way to try to improve yo...

Thanks for the encouragement, Jessie. Actually, a much larger "room" is available, but it is +/- "divided" by wing walls and an archway, along with a large side wall opening, that I know from experience would eff up the spa...

I just watched a film about the construction of the Dubai’s famous Burj Al Arab Hotel. The program told that the engineers come across the problems with high harmonic distortions of electricity that powered up the Hotel (220 suites with 14kVa (!!!) c...

Oh well.. I'd really like to save the horns. I appreciate your offer to help out!Still no measurements, but this can start the trouble shooting...CONSTRUCTIONFirst I refreshed my memory of exactly what I built. They certainly are far from being copie...
