After a provisional cleaning of my crappy Yamaha C2 preamp, I got +/- balanced bass and then made a bit of discovery: Changed the parallel R in the HF circuit of the UK crossover from 50R to 25R (and switched the xcover to the treble boost mode which...

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...

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...

In the past, people described the reaction to things aesthetic as dependent on "taste". This seems like an exact metaphor. Everyone's palate is unique as best we can tell. there is no well prepared meal from a taste or nutritive standpoint that will ...

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...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

I am inclined to think it has more to do with the dynamic impact of sound through space and pressing against your body, instead of just your ears. I have always felt Stravinsky to be a very physical experience.
And I do like the mono recordings...

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

Hmmm...let's see, I'm pretty young, to the point where I don't have any major source of money income, so I do with what I can when I can and want to, just like many other suffering young and/or poor audiophiles. It's like this, I don't listen to any ...

I've never understood the continual need to get equipment to have ever wider frequency response, to me (but then I'm a complete technonumpty) this just seems to be an exercise in chasing numbers to impress those that are impressed by spec sheets.&nbs...

Part of setting up a system is listening to both channels independently, they measure the same and sound the same, but individually with a lower volume and punch, and of course no stereo effect." the audio window should get larger and larger, unti...

Hi Romy,
It felt like loosing my breath when the music stopped. I don't have any CDRs around but listening with a pair of headphones left me wanting for the whole thing. Amazingly powerful colours and textures... and what a beautiful mood.

I'm right there with you, temporarily installed in the middle of a Bagdad intersection.So, one day not too long ago I slipped out during lunch and picked up a pair of decent, closed-back, full-size, fairly antisocial looking headphones (ATH M-50s) an...

Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.In general, I was pretty disappointed with what I heard. Most of the ‘convent...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, my mind does not operate by the categories you employ, I rather think about nature of Sound not about harmonic/non-harmonic distortions. The whole subject about the distortion is intricate, not to mention that it is n...
