[quote user="guy sergeant"]What's the position with regard to this (or any other) material that you capture from the ether in this way? Are there copyright/reproduction issues? I'd be interested in getting a full CD at this quality. The L...

Hi Romy,thank you for your answer. On weekend i will rebuild my amp for the 6E6P-DR. You are right, the tube datas shows that pin 8 is a screen. On D3A pin 8 is Grid 3 connected to screen.I will try it with pin 8 lifted and connected to ground. I hav...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Arno, I am glad that you take my comment with right attitude; this is indication that you are not dead, despite the fact that you are building a back-loaded horn. I do not think that you find a lot of useful horns informat...

This week two audio persons visited me. Both of them experimenting with loudspeakers of own design and during their visit I discounted my Macondo channels and demonstrated to then the contribution of the each channel to Macondo Sound. Both of them di...

Simply put, this concept has more to do with tangible results than most other things we talk about. At least, potentially. In the same way that a person might go to the ophthalmologist and get a pair of prescription eyeglasses to see clea...

[quote user="msaudio"]…. but it will never sound good until you have everything in the line of playback as close to original as possible. [/quote] This is very faulty premise, I multiple times objected it. The people who play live music, record i...

[quote user="morricab"] I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone….[/quote]
Actually when I was taking about “absolute tone” I ...

I was right before but now I really review my rightness for a new perspective. Yes, the compressions drivers are the subject of clean signal but it what I witness with the new 6-chenals DSET put what I said above in another extreme dimension. I do no...

I read the article by Robert Harley about the BSG Technologies’ QOL devise: http://www.avguide.com/review/bsg-technologies-qol-signal-completion-stage-tas-220 The article follows with Barry Goldfarb interview, which is in my view more interesting. Ro...

Thanks, Guy. JC Morrison? I am not familiar with this character well. All that I know about him the he pop up usually around Joe Roberts and they perfume act of public saliva liking. It does not say anything about his amps, however, neither about his...

I still find that what Polymer Audio is reasonable if to take under consideration what they are. The Polymer Audio try to appeal for a totally different segment of prospective customers – the Robb Report reading and the sleazy Rolexes wearing y...

Morricab, I perfect concur with your findings and I come to the very similar concussions regarding the autoformers.
Unfortunately my experience with OTLs was much less exiting then yours. I presume that it is possible to get an "interesting" sound ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] If you have a chance to hear Lamm ML2.0 then try them... [/quote]I wanted to do that, but they are so rare and I found nobody to visit. But honestly, I am not so fanatic, I was looking for something which doesn't make me ...

[quote user="HookEm"]OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr p...

Hi Cat[quote user="Romy the Cat"] However, here is where the trick begins. Putting the headphones on, playing them along with the big loudspeakers system and adjusting the volume of the “big system” (primary the LF channel) it is possible to take the...

I find the sound of my horn loudspeakers very satisfying, and by the way I have the EdgarHorn Titans, which may make you chuckle if you are a horn snob, but I think they do a very good job, one of the best commercially available horn system out there...

After the painstaking setting up of the new Macondo, measuring all distance, paralleling the horns and time-aligning everything, after the setting up a correct level of the new channel’s attenuation (it turned out -2dB was necessary) I spent some tim...

What do you know: I invested into my entertainment and subscribed “The Absolute Sound”. Sometimes it is really amusing to read this magazine. Those audio publications quite long time moved in my home from the “toilet reading” into the section where m...

Am I the only one who’s (just) noticed that I have not
yet specifically mentioned The Loudspeaker’s midrange driver? This seems odd,
in view of the fact that this driver is pretty much the beating heart of The
Loudspeaker, playing the range fr...

Some years back I posted on the Musical Discussions board
about a remarkable Everest recording (X-923) of Josef Hofmann, and I mentioned then that I
thought this recording was pretty amazing, based on the Music I was easily able
to extract from it...

When I meet Jonathan Valin I laugh. Jonathan is soft-spoken, kind-mannered person who does not have that revolting attitude of a typical audio reviewer. Most of audio reviewers that I met behaved like idiots, claiming: “the entire wo...

Now
I understand why people gush about Wand’s Bruckner 8 in the Lubeck cathedral!
I’ve heard B8 rendered with more “detail” but never a better overall balance of
sounds and Sound for this symphony, not to mention the very special
performance....

Somebody from AA was asking about electromagnet. The subject pup up here from time to time but this time Bruce Edgar uploaded an interesting comment. Bruce is not a typical AA Moron and if he says “inaccurate things” then it is not due to ignoran...

It has been a little wild trip from Portsmouth NH (our second home) to Montreal. The weather was wonderful and the drive was surprisingly easy. The trip in the way reminds me my audio trips from the past, with talks and thinking about audio here ...

I admit that regarding many subjects in audio I love to sound, to act or just to be a compulsive. However, I feel that my compulsiveness does make sense to me and ironically it does make sense, quite frequency, for some others (unless they are Morons...

I
want to revisit a CD recital that Romy first shared at GSC, The Spirit of
Koussevitzky, Gary Karr, bass, with Harmon Lewis on the piano. Apparently,
there is no substitute for bass when listening to bass. Who knew? The
Loudspeakers have pre...

I would like to dedicate this thread to sharing views about a theoretically ideal, ultimate horn system. What would it be? Am NOT talking about the typical wishful thinking when people publicly drooling what they would d...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, drive a loud...
