[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Upper Bass : Frequency range between 100 and 500Hz – Driver loaded into a 120Hz straight horn, driven by DSET dedicated channel. Mid Bass : Frequency range between 40 and 100Hz – Driver loaded into a 45Hz straight hor...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Resonant frequency :
I did not try to measure it. Can anyone confirm the following : I assume this parameter is most easily determined by playing a series of tones at constant signal strength (volume setting) whi...

Sorry, I do not share your sentiments with those 3 reasons. Below are my reasons.
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Three reasons:
1) To try high passing your upper-MF channel (S2 > 400Hz horn) above the 1250Hz secondary resonance assiciated ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have from time to time listened more with a very crude sort of injection channel plugged into the system.
With this device, it is obvious that compressed recordings are more tollerable...My waf also noted the effect. ...

Jessie, that is hilarious! For many years I felt so cagey to know to look out for the "white label" and/or "demo" LPs that various record "Labels" sent out to radio stations/DJs, hoping for air time. In most cases they were "ringers", better in eve...

It is an opportunity to pursue the common obsession with all things military: the largest formed transparent structures are probably fighter jet canopies. Acrylic would be optimal, vacuum formed at elevated temperature. Were Jessie dazzle still here ...

Jessie.Dazzle i find your post very intresting....i had just post -before reading yours- in a sound engineer forum a post asking them why they rarely use High-end speakers...I will copy/past the response....I gonna post also yours if you don't mind....

Jessie, that about sums up my basic impression of digital sound in general for many years, until very recently. Just add thin, disjointed and arbitrary "harmonics" and noise that makes your skin crawl, and so far the more elaborate the sys...

I don't know Jessie, but I also have listened to the files several times and I stand on my comments. The file DAC 1 is the one that I find more "loose" with more room defining bass, and DAC2 the one with some sort of better harmonic definition. The o...

Hi Jessie :I'm sorry if this is not the subject of this thread as I have a bit of a problem following computer/digital discussions, but since you read french, there is a fellow in france selling a device to send audio signals from iTunes to audio sys...

Jessie Hi, re question 1, drop Jon a line at Sonic, he is far better placed to advise you on the addition of new codecs and hardware , the 'early adopter' software is I believe $1000, there is a demo version but it cuts out after 30 seconds which is ...

Hi Jessie, Thanks for reply. I am Mac based and am looking at the following idea for sending music from my computer to my audio system. The guy that builds it says that the sound is much better than he gets out of CD-playback, who knows. ...

Very many thanks, Jessie.Presumably damping the interior may also be desirable where the horn is quite thin. I know there has been a lot of discussion on this site about the right quality of paint, but mostly in the context of heavy MDF horns. What i...

BTW, purely hypothetically, Jessie, if you have a long harrow room then did you consider to put your bass horns vertically, facing them mouth up, pretending that they are large vases? It might be a new kinky surreal home decor and you can make the th...

I am on begining (1 week in progress) to design frame for my future horns. 115hz400hz ribbonand 200hz or direct radiator as fundamental channel.I like functionality of Jessie frame, and Romy "flying horns" look.I think my project will be ready at th...

Thanks, Jessie!I also miss Tesla, and I agree, there should be more guys like this.May you and the other hyper-inquisitives enjoy Mr. Sheldrake as much as I do! (yeah, the "dogs" are good, but keep searching until you find the "speed of communication...

hi jessie!why you dont make it from carbonfiber on a foambase? carbonfiber is much easier to work than glassfiber and of course gives stiffer boards. im also just working on a "surfboard" horn, but i make the bent sides with layers of depron boards a...

Thanks, Jessie. I will try something like what you describe if I fail to find another 8M. I suppose since I have one, I can make some kind of comparison, although mono is clearly not ideal. Hopefully Romy is right about the availability of 8M and I w...

Jessie, I agree in spades. You could play around trying to "tune" that thing for the rest of your life.But then, who is going to hear serious problems with something that was such a pain and expense to build and install?More likely is that...

I am constructing a set of 400 Hz resin-bonded sand horns and have been thinking about the best way of coupling the S2 to them. I can't find anything off the shelf that is 2.620 x 16 tpi, and none of the people with lathes I know have imperial kit to...

Hi jessie, thanks for tip. I will clean them myself, though I was planning on having the magnet recharged at same time, and I can't do that myself... The 3in1 oil idea is too scary for me, let me know how it works for you 8-) ...
