I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...

I never used the Disc Doctor cleaning; in fact I never used anything beside my own cleaning and the Nitty Gritty’s. The Nitty Gritty smells better though… The problem that I see with either Disc Doctor or with Nitty Gritty that it end up to be $70 pe...

[quote user="manisandher"] So, all the files you've recorded @ 24/88.2 have the HDCD flag? And you've never noticed? How can this be? I'm sure I've read your previous posts Romy where you state that you don't agree with HDCD for >16/44.1 and that ...

[quote user="perrew"] ….. is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor… [/quote] Perrew, there is absolutely no reasons or any imaginary rational in this type of speaker to use horns besides to m...

Richard, I absolutely agree with you that dipole provides a masking affect from many problems but along with illumination of the badly reproduced bass dipoles inject into music a common denominator of… dipolenisness….. and this something that ...

OK, I have desired to build the thing. It is not the I really need it but I would need some kind MiniMe monitor and I really would like to see how bad it will turn out to sound the speaker that I invasion with this drivers of mine. After much vague c...

I think that single speakers are a good start, not the means to an end.Romy, you are very adamant about the PROCESS. Gain experience, make changes based on what you learn. Is it not sensible to start with ONE DRIVER and learn its strengths and weakne...

[quote user="manisandher"] I'm actually not advocating anything to you Romy. I'm just asking whether you are bonding your dedicated ground to Neutral. If so, I can't see how cheater plugs would help in your situation - your dedicated ground and your ...

Paul, Points well taken. The F120A is listed as a FR driver. In my humble view, it does quite well for it's size, albeit the last two octaves will not be in full force (okay, the last octave is mostly MIA). It's lower sensitivity does not ...

Every musician/composer I know who has heard the Harbeth Monitor 40s has liked them, for whataever this is worth. They aren't cheap and they are not efficient, but they are pitched well within their limits and they provide enough deta...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...

Will the facination with "pro" sound never die? The best of these speakers sound like SS from the 80s, meaning they impose that "signature" on the sound, and IMO they simply miss the fine points of Music, volume and "dynamics" notwithstanding. Do n...

I too want a monitor speaker to play with, especially for amplifier experimentation.I put another 4" Fostex in a sealed "box" (globe actually) and crossed it over at 150hz to one SS 25w/8565 on the side. Wishful thinking? -Yes.About 88-90dB sensitive...

[quote user="peter foster"] Since obtaining a pair of 'reference' microphones, microphone pre-amplifier and analog-to-digital converter as part of my playback system I have learned much about 'relative reality', 'transformation of reality', 'reinstat...

I am just reminded of the long-since-superceded (naturally...) 10" Tannoy "mid-field" "pro" monitor. I think it was the TM10, which also used it's cabinet to very good effect, at least in terms of voicing. You want "bubbles", I...

There are a lot of talking nowadays among audio people about music servers and about the ripping the people’s CDs to music servers and playing from there. I always feel that it a dummy thing to do. People claim that besides the “convenience” there ar...

Hi everyone,First, thank you for all your advices. The university take many most of my time, so listen to speaker had been difficult.So......I come back with many things too tell, i have made some listening sessions to find a good speaker to work wit...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Forgive me for being so forward, but I have been holding it in for some time, and am right now, at this very moment, ripe for saying that I see this MiniMe thing as being analogous to an affair with a capricious little mis...

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 ...

I never was late to symphony, or to wherever else for that matter. I do feel that to be late to symphony is like to be late to airplane – you miss it and you are not the part of the trip. For sure no one saved to be late and all that you do just miss...

If I succeed to make my midbass horn at attic then I will face another problem that I do not know how to address at this point. The horns will be powered from Melquiades bass channels – it means it will use a good 70 feet speaker cable. If I go with ...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

I use my my kind of Foolish Monitors happily, which are (no longer in production) BBC licensed LS3/5a monitors.

[quote user="steverino"] Why do you think the improved sonics were related to the residual noise or more precisely the hypothetical delta of noise components from one day to the next? You were very non specific about what was better and to what d...

I was trying to find out what drivers the Allen Sides’ speaker uses and found a lot of noise about this among the people of Guitar Center – it is not surprising considering Allen Sides background.
