Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

Edgar, very very nice observations re the phase! Can you somehow share the movie? Shouldn't there be a second phase jump around Fs of the passive radiator?
Have you tried combining sealed subs running parallel with Dannoys? I.e. ...

My room, is 16 to 17 feet wide, 27 to 28 feet long by 12 to 14 feet high with all walls splayed, with a combination of absorption and diffusion on the walls. All electronics are fed electricity by three pure power units originally recommended by Rom...

Hi Romy,I see why you don't like the design. And in particular, the choice of where he chose to limit the frequency responses for the two channels. I see the benefit of the DSET approach in this context as you explained it. If I understand you, your ...

I am not sure who those people are. It might be Arthur Loesch or someone who cashes out on Arthur Loesch… it might be whoever and I have no idea about the credibility and seriousness of those people. I heard Arthur Loesch does not do Audio anymore, s...

After a few agonizing days I think a have decided for a provisional
solution. Listening and thinking about
options on a table and my current desire to invest time and resources I went
with 6+2 direction.
I have order 4 separate relatively-sma...

I think I get your message Romy, but offer an alternative perspective to DIY.The results depend on the motivation and expectations of the DIYer. For example, saving $$$ is one reason to start learning to solder and build simple circuits. ...

Romy, it’s selfunderstood (at least to me) that the project is in its infancy and you are on terra incognita. Im trying to visualize what was „the last working configuration”.

Last week found that the distortion I was having was due to some small separations of the woofer cone from the surround suspension probably from age and playing too loud. Applied the glue to them received from English tannoy dealer and distortion...

[quote user="Stitch"] Well, I made an interesting observation by accident. I didn't know those Emmlab unit (later I read that Mr. Terrific [Tin] made the distribution in USA, but later he switched to something else, which is even more ultra terrific....

N-Set, the Tesla AROs make much better mid/upper bass than Altec/JBL, etc. The "factory"/"theater" boxes for these are HUGE, with double walls, basically IBs, but they can indeed "pound" from a smaller enclosure, or even OB. I hoped Fikus would eit...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Possibly that you are right but it might be something else. My last year unit did inject back to power line a LOT of dirt. I just measured my new fixed unit and I was VERY surprised the it out back to the wall significantly...

This mooring I decided to play with my infinite baffle. The
mess with my analog crossover hat was calibrate for my old listening room gave
me bad IB taste. I bought used stinky Behringer DCX2496 Ultradrive Pro crossover
for $100 to find my new cro...

There are few more observations I would like to share after listening
my new IB over this weekend.
The midbass. The midbass channel that is handled by a single
Vitavox 15 driver with use of my new IB became if not more propitiate but at
least m...

Hi Markus,
The realisation that in my implementation, going first order on the bass unit is an unacceptable compromise. I have never tried a third order PLL crossover but imagine the losses are noticable.
But I've heard the losses of putting a...

I do not want to go on tangent in this Cessaro Gammas thread, still what Merlin said deserves very much to be accented. I juts mention it once in here.
The first order on the bass units is NOT an “unacceptable compromise...

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.

Years ago, the two different systems in which I heard RCA 1428s - in a fairly big warehouse and crammed into a basement listening room - used giant RCA multi-cell horns in combination with giant Ubangi bass bins, passive crossovers and vintage WE or ...

Roman:
since I came to GSC, I became more and more careful (at least trying) in proper choosing words, due to the need of expressing myself in a language which isn't my own, some finesse and subtleties get lost, so further explanation or underl...

[quote user="oxric"]However, a new UK venture seems to have taken on board most of the criteria that I had set myself and come up with an off-the-shelf solution. Please see below:http://www.itemaudio.co.uk/windows_audio_transport.htmlI am however dau...

It took some work, but I finally got a new phono stage (K&K) and a Bent TAP (transformer-based volume control) installed, along with some new cartridge clips (ugh!), and I put the "new system" through its paces Saturday and Sunday. I a...

actually I agree with Romy, to a degree.... If the amplifier is a push pull device, using my output and input splitter devices of course, then an interstage transformer is a much better choice than rc coupling. Using transformers designed to the crit...

Romy,I understand your situation as a result of the move. It is a good thing because a system that is out of proportion with not work in a family environment and ultimately you will be battling yourself between sound and family priorities and practic...
