Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

What I find interesting is that none of the Japanese store that sell cartridges for domestic marker sell the Shelter 90X. Who knows, perhaps the 90X is the big conspiracy between Shelter and US importers who decided to capitalize on the success of Sh...

[quote user="Amir"]I listened one time (just one time) to master tape (revox reel).micro harmonic was so better than dCS Elgar (digital source) and it was better in micro dynamic. i did not tested good DSD in a good DAC vs good analog but in micro li...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I finally concluded that I need a better mono cartridge. Screw you Denon-102! I can’t listen this midrange pusher anymore![/quote]Send it over to me Romy, I'll make sure the little offender doesn't escape! :) Brian (who lis...

Steve Schell and I are currently using Le Cleach horns in our system, The more I listen to them, the more I like them. They sound slightly less directional and beamy than a tractrix, and overall an extremely pleasant sound. W...

This makes a lot more of sense to me. I understood you wrongly and I believed that the product "as is" and a priori can be interesting as a whole. I think that the design is interesting for the horn implementation, the horn themselves (look quite sol...

[quote user="Paul S"] Didn't you first become aware of MF "problems" when you got everything else working better via the PP2000, and the MF wound up dropping back to weak sister status with respect to system-wide PP2000 benefits? [/quote] The PP2000 ...

Have been intently watching this discussion while on vacation. Returned last night and turned on system and one of my three units was given off a very low intensity buzz into the speakers. Detached the power cord and it went away and on replacing th...

Hi,I have just received a Yamamoto A-02 amplifier from Shigeki. It is a 2A3 / 45 switchable amp, not available in the EU. It is supposed to be Yammies top amplifier. I bought it in JP and sent it to Shigeki for new 230V transformer...

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Sure, looking at some moment in the Orgon description I have a lot of suspicion that they use incorrect amplification and incorrectly, and that multi-amping in there was not implemented as it should be but the desi...

The idea of 360 degree radiation of sound has great intuitive appeal to me since I feel the best recordings are done with two omnidirectional microphones. The most precise reproduction of the musical event would seem to be: sounds enter microph...

My string quartet have just spent 6 days recording haydn and being assaulted by nasty Genlecs.
I can assure you that this is NOT what I want my system to sound like.
(Actually I sort of began to see the point of them after a while.. but
that's ano...

The electricity was great today, the ribbons are dialed in at 2 uF and .2 mH, and I finally figured out and eliminated a phono hum that has plagued me since I moved into this house.Naturally, I was a total vinyl slut all day....

[quote user="drdna"]It is important to remember that the Subjective musical result is the goal, but this does not mean to disregard all objective data. When one sees something as ridiculous as the Brazilian horn, you kind of have to assume obje...

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...

Well, I didn't come so close to answer your question right.I saw a few from the German DIY scenery and for them it was like the return of Jesus, best sound on PlanetBut probably they are still deaf as usual, because the Frequency step ups are limited...

Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use your upper bass horn to p...

My personal take (also with my wife who I have been with for 33 years) is that they learn enough by exposure and are much more valuable when remaining simple "users". It is often not possible to be objective when you are enjoying a low noise floor or...

With all honesty and with all my agreement to what Romy and Haralanov said I have to confess that they are a bit full of shit. I desisted to make an experiment and recorded on my phone the video of my playback and then listen to the sound I got in th...

Actually it was sad to hear potentially nice horn system wasted on mediocre music (at least that's what I heard at three different times I visited the room so it must have been a norm ) and grey sounding D-amps with "pumping " bass tubas. At least th...

It of course is hard to say anything about the midrange without hearing the speaker. LF and HF are surely standard yellow cone.It is cold in Germany this time of year. A GM100 amp would be an inefficient but beautiful heater in the 20 square meter ro...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In fact I do feel that
my MF and upperbass are very good integrated. But again, I might not know how
different it might be if it was otherwise. [/quote]
Exactly!
Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is ...

Sorry for reviving this thread without a good reason, but there is something I wanted to add to my comments about amplification. Recently I heard this system http://www.hornfabrik-eder.de/ which was driven by an old Telefunken studio amp. O...

I use regular Lowther DX4 (ENABLED) . I don't think the 250-400 is stellar and I'm still waiting for the extension to try small throat for lower midrange (2,75") (B&C 8P21E driver) for 200-1000Hz . Here is Martin's opinion on the ...

somehow i missed that moment in macondo development when you introduced S3 as a low mid driver so this came as a surprise to me - what i remember is that you didn't write so favourably of S3 back in 2004 due to its ceramic magnet. but it's good t...

I note English Mfgrs tried low power ribbon Midrange horns in the 50's (Decca, Kelly & Quad also made one!).These were probably inspired by the hi pwr prewar? Klangfilm ribbon horn (would like to hear one of those!) But, after Peter Walker moved ...
