I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

Romy,
I have somewhat different possibilities than you are seeing. My system is physically higher than most because my listening position is at standing height or sitting in a high stool. I have used this litening height for a few years and gr...

[quote user="haralanov"] My driver has not even a single trace of tizzing top end. Tizzines is intrinsic feature of ribbon drivers (including RAAL), not of well designed paper drivers. Actually, the heart of my acoustic system is ultra high perf...

Wow! I did not realized that almost 4 months have passed since I wrote last.
Quite a few things have happened the last 4 months that I have played with the 6C33Camp/preamp combo. I have tried at least 3 different vendors on the Ulyanovsk type, the ...

First off, I will point out that neither Silbatone nor I claim or agree that the Aporia horn is a point source, because clearly it is not. The sound comes from two "areas" but even that is not a particularly useful notion.Although some do make that c...

Romy, if you have some spare diaphragm/VC assemblies for your S2 drivers, do the experiment I mentioned above (remove the outer layer of the VC) and we will talk about the inductance in terms of sound after you hear the results with your own ears... ...

Since no driver is actually full range, driver selection is partly conditioned by how well it plays with the other drivers it will be used with, and - very certainly - the crossovers it will be used with, also baffle shape(s) and size(s), amps(s), an...

Maybe the upper midrange horn became like a paper cone speaker. Best sound I ever made, and it looks like this. It had the same ring to it as the magical SABA fullrange speakers - made of paper. But below 500Hz, I must use solid wood. The Fanes are t...

That "curl" beyond 350mm in your diagram is what the LeCleach profile is all about...drop it and it is not a LeCleach anymore (it is more or less Tractrix) and the benefits of that profile to do with the horns lower range are lost. Besides, a 1m dia...

Coops,there were more than a hundred rooms at that show (including the cabins of the small manufacturers in the ground floor) and I had no other chance than giving many of them just seconds, so I only stayed longer when I liked the sound after these ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The re-charged cap works fine but changing the cap polarity by re-recharging is while it handles the signal is not a very good idea in my view. All that dialectic in the cap needs to be re-polarized – it sound too unattract...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

Nope, sorry, it does not make any sense for me. The use of Rowland amp I guess is fine if it being use for testing of the filters. Still if you use high-pass for your midrange horn then what resistor does in your RC filter? A first order filter, rega...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Romy, are you sure the unborn fetus is exposed to sounds in the 200-400 Hz range? I think it's more of 30-200 Hz (conducted sounds of mother's heartbeat and footsteps). I think babies are also sensitive to these range of sound: ...

Well, first of all the phrase “rated flat to 300HZ” is kind of ambiguous. There is no such a thing as “rating” - they write whatever they wanted. Second: yes, you understand me correctly, I would prefer to have lot of room at bottom and I feel that i...

Or is the answer very simple, in terms that some people just like tweeters with metal character? I have not heard the Supravox, but it has the usual breakup above the audio band, even a bit stronger than other metal domes, CSD from 4kHz up is not slo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Try to drop the Altec in 400Hz horn down to 1000 Hz -700Hz and arm your Oris with a MD driver with a good lover midrange driver (B&C of whatever you use) You will be able to go away with 4 channels… You have a lot of n...

I believe that those "allien sounds" are an enhancement of the frequencies comprised in what is called the singer's formant, which is the area of the third formant when opera singers sing vowels. That area is in the range of 3.5 to 5.5 KHz and is a s...

Thanks to our friend Ann we get to sit about 8 feet behind the conductor in the second row. The oboe, and the horns maybe even more, were amazingly haunting in the letter scene. It was of course sung in russian, and the translation was qu...

Sorry if this is OT - I could start a new thread but my post is inspired by the quote below - [quote user="drdna"]the lathe-work is rough on some of the horns. [/quote]I can't decide whether that's good or bad. I'm slowly working up to getting ...

I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

If you read Danleys paper, you see that the lower you go in frequency, the more this device turns into a direct radiator. He just vents the HF drivers from the throat, more or less optimised, the midrange drivers a bit further out and the LF drivers ...

I have no idea what it is but it is something… Take a look:

I have large midbass horns and midrange horns made by elevenhorns. I am still trying to figure out a stand idea. I've read many creative ideas but I still haven't found the idea that inspires me. I do like the all wood direction that Rakeshorn t...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...
