[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]No interest in listening to half a system... Just pushing myself to get on with the manual labor... It is somehow like therapy.[/quote]Yep, it is interesting how awareness works – since a result is conceptualized and envis...

Jessie,I just managed to snag a used Wavelength Brick version 1 for a very good price. The Brick and Cosecant v2 use the same DAC section, unless you purchase a newer Cosecant v3 that is offered with an upgrade to a multi-bit 24/96 DAC chip. I listen...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Having said that, I notice no difference when switching to battery when using a laptop model to run the external drive of my music server setup, but this is possibly because power may be routed "through" the battery even w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] 6dB extra? Relative to what? [/quote]
Relative to the reference level of my MF channels. Look at the Chenal “B” of the the amp's schematics:

Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] The AK150 and 152 are not new creations dreamed up by Mike; they were made back in the day by Vitavox but nobody ever talks about them and I have never seen either. See the Unofficial Vitavox web site; AK150 = Catalog...

Jessie,
Unfortunately it is in my view it is absolutely imposable to predict anything juts based upon the CAD modeling. The entire criteria that you for founding the right positioning of your instantiation are wrong, at least in my view. You use the...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Could you clarify: Would you like to vent the rear chamber or increase its volume (or both)? This weekend I will try listening with the rear covers on the Lower-Mids slightly open... [/quote]
Good question. I do no...

I would like to point out something that is going on here that I found truly remarkable.
For advanced people ho play with horns there is no second opinion that the vertical array, the Macondo/Cressaro-Gamma type of architecture, is THE ONLY one tha...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There should be no danger in running the S3s down to 500Hz; I am currently running a pair of S2s (same diaphragm as S3) down to 450Hz, 1st order, no problem.
The system is in a room that measures around 80m² with a 3m-h...

Romy's quotes in blue:Daniel J. Plach's quote in green:"...The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn?..."Yes, it will be similar, but more robust; I have an idea for a locking-type seal, which I would pro...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In the case of a normal ranch style home (one level, no basement) out in the burbs, the attic is wasted anyway; you could put it to use, and if necessary, modify the roof, letting the drivers live up under decorative ...

[quote user="drdna"] What was more concerning is today some 60 Hz hum also re-emerged in the system, sounding like a vibrating cell phone going off in the back of the room. It was interesting how it was sort of localizable, but the hum is annoying. A...

[quote user="Wojtek"] I heard that some audiopholes don't like to go to classical performancess because their gear just SOUNDS BETTER [/quote]
There are many very reasonable explanations of this sentient. I do not go in there as it is what of the su...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I don't have a problem with what Lamm has done in offering the ML3 (ignoring the price)... If I have a problem it is more related to how the product is being represented. Representations aside, depending on how it sounds,...
|

Well, Jessie, I think you're exercising a wishful thinking but you have, I think, a wrong subject for your thinking. Neither Lamm nor any other high-end manufacture care about result as a concept but rather a result as product. A product b...

Jessie was very right talking about therapeutic influence of audio projects.
I do not know why buy I feel very much attached and really feel personally the various micro events that I are going on with my current 6-channel Supper Milq project. ...

Hm, it is interesting… a few weeks ago I was trying to saddest Jessie that if he end up with 5-chanalls installation then it might not be necessary for to have exactly 5 channels of Melquiades. However, since I moved myself into 5 channels I be...

I finally added a -15 dB voltage divider to my ML2s last week to fix the noise problem from my L1 preamp - Why did I wait so long?!!The result is absolute dead silence. Nothing. Nada. It is almost impossible to tell if the system is powered on, ev...

[quote user="decoud"]I know you do not want to do it, but it is a shame not to do it: actually manufacture a version of the Macondo with an integrated dset, cut down enough (say three channels) to make it feasible while still demonstrating the advant...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Yes, in a way you are correct; the wire is white but over time became sort of brown toward the socket; this is either from the metal contacts of the socket having oxidized in close proximity to the insulation, or simply fr...

We should define some borders here; LF, when you have an UBH, should be from around 100 hz down to 30 hz, where the last fundamental tone of an instrument is played. ULF should be under 25-20hz.I would say that a driver playing 25-30 hz should...

[quote user="Jorge"] …Most of us are using some sort of cabinet for the LF range. Romy was using the Scanspeak up to 75 hz crossed to his UBH, Haralanov is using those wonderful 23" woofers on an infinite bafle, and Jessie is using the McCauley 18"...

Interesting the stressing the importance of the listening room Rakesh went into depth of discussing reference clocks and YL drivers that are very irrelevant to the subject of the rooms. The Rony’s comment about the expression of “ultimate way of life...
