The air in my small orange grove is still enough most of the time, and I actually enjoy smoking there - when weather permits and the air is - still. If you don't yet have a garden and/or fruit trees, this is another thing to enjoy, with the adde...

I got my IBM ThinkCentre machine and true felt in love with it. What is wonderful little box. It is very quiet as it as it is fast for what I need to do and it is just perfect size for in-system DAW. I got IceDoc external drive array and they work ve...

I just checked the silicone pot, wearing magnifying glasses. The main bath is limpid, as ever. However, some silicone has somehow gotten out of the bath and onto the rim of the tub. Likely it's been there all along, but I just ...

Well, after all I was pointed out to the place where the annoyed wonna-be-Magico-owners came from:

Nothing new, I well accustomed to the satiations when pro...

So that's the story. I've never really paid any attention to the Magico speakers. I Googled their name and saw the words "Extreme Fidelity." That instantly killed my curiosity and I did not continue searching. Just anothe...

...no sarcasm was meant, nothing to "read between the lines." Several people seemed quite impressed w/ 138s in DIYaudio thread early on, said no tweeter ever needed, best mids they ever heard in anything, etc. That was part of what prompt...

Last night an audio guy visited me and he brought to me the CD with this “somebody playing drums somewhere”. He read my site before he went o my placed and he brought to me this recording as demonstration of what it was. I did listen for the first pe...

Very interesting! (and impressive construction there KO)I know this isn't quite the subject of the thread, but could you tell a bit more about the 212E amp, in particular, the regulator topology?Regarding 845 vs 211 - Romy, I suspect what you were he...

Sure, Mike, however what I learned with my living experience that that is nothing really valuable in life that is expansive. Anyhow, Mike, thanks for the pictures. BTW, some of them are very nice, very-very nice phonographically.
I was particularly...

Dealing more with Sun Audio SV-2A3 kit it amassed me how bad the kit was. The guys made very cheap, in fact I hardly believe that this company has anything to do with Japan – it looks more like K-Mart level of amplifier. I heard a number of very posi...

I hope these friends of mine who clamed that that stupid Denon M31 might play music will read this post. After of a 3 weeks or living with Macondo I found myself having no radio. My portable playback, that does very well, is on my work. I do no...
|

Well all right then...I've been wondering if the Mini LF sections had been having effects on Macondo's LF channels by introducing some sympatheic resonances. If you left the ports at just the 2" diameter by .5" in length, then the tuning w...

KM, I don't know how you come up with the belief that I conclude that "it's a bad performing driver." Either the 138, or the earlier 120... Or that because I didn't use 120s that i haven't heard them. And as ever...

Jarek,I am a professional musician, and am very much in "tune" with creative processes.A random result is not automatically "bad", but because of its "randomness", there is a lot of ground to cover BEFORE one can even think about further steps. Case ...

This weekend a local audio guy came to my palace and was bitching about his bass. I have small 1 cub feet pair sealed foxes with 8” version of my 25W drivers, I think they are 21W. I used them on the side of my bed to allow my old Koshka to climb in ...

Paul S wrote in BlueWhat are you doing to vary the port? I was thinking about a tube that could slide (or thread) in and out, so it could be played with. There are any number of ways to do this with o-rings, etc., as long as the tube...

Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!
