Thanks, El, an interesting driver indeed. It would be interesting to listen the thing though I have personally no use from that type of driver. Purely on the specs there are some moments that I would like to see different. The 250Hz resonance freque...

[quote user="nl"] However, these sorts of basshorns with twin 15" drivers and a very large mouth (larger than the cones of the drivers) have a long history. The Altec 210 cabinet, as used in the Altec A2 systems with two 515-type woofers, is a prime ...

Now as ever in hi-fi there seems to be no economically viable model for developing, producing, marketing and servicing good sounding equipment. As ever, it remains for the end user to find and develop their own equipment from whatever happens to be ...

Funny, because, as far as I know, this site is the only place that deals with hi-fi in terms of developing sound from a personal perspective. While the book format is a nice way to present information, wouldn't it be nice if the contents were derived...

[quote user="noviygera"]Tequilahut,You mention Air Motion system. As an example. How do you know you like the sound -- did you listen to them? Or is the aesthetics of horns that you like and that is forming your selection of examples?It's good to kno...

Romy, You are absolutely right, saying "audiophile" which is not capable to hear any criticizm about his system, is very far from inderstanding what the music is. As an amator painter, a joined (long ago) to a group of amators like me, gath...

I think if you use Pure Power 3000+ it is better to use shorter power cables (2m is very good) . the bass and attacks are better with shorter Power cables.
you should not have any ground loop in your system if you use Pure Power 3000+. it is v...

Back to this thread, there is no arguing that better AC makes better sound from a system that's capable to deliver it in any case. For me, this has not been a matter of long term listening for differences, rather it has in every case been the fairly ...

effective [/quote]
Hm, Amir, I am sure that I am completely comfortable with the
statement that Pure Power Solution is over 90% effective. It is not that I am
not agreeable jerk and need to be ...

I went back and read the introduction at NAT's website, and it makes me suspicious, right away. It makes me wonder if there is an engineer who also has a hard time reading about "his design", or if they all work together to sell expensive amplifiers....

[quote user="hifitodd"]I'm trying to get my head around the tonearm/cartridge matching mechanics.First of all, are ALL cartridges much happier with a heavier tonearm? Even cartridges with a high compliance?My understanding of a "correct" arm ef...

Another interesting observation.... A remarkable things about the Melquiades’ sound is that the Melquiades' notes have much more "spaceal load" then anything else out there, and I do not talk about harmonics but actually "Space". Also the Melqui...

I think there is a definate trend here regarding distortions that cannot be ignored. Guy, you pointed out some excessive 2nd order harmonics with the Melq bias point. Hey, maybe so. I haven't really looked into this tube - but I jus...

Dear Romy,Assuming that your questions are "honest" ones ( I have no reason to believe they are traps, like it happened to me before with a certain Mr. Thor), I will give you "honest" answers, hoping that our dialogue will be of some interest to the ...

Sowter doesn't offer amorphous, though I believe Brian was looking into it a while ago.As for the sound of the mumetal core...well, let me preface this by saying that I have not directly compared amorphous to mumetal, but it sounded - how to put this...

I pack up the new amp today and plug it in with my right Macondo channel. The electricity was not bad I was VERY surprised with the fact that the new amp sounded MUCH more advanced then I anticipated from a chance of MF channels power supplies. The l...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

hmmmm... Well, if you say so, I'll go as far as to say maybe. you can get OK sound @ some distance. I sure didn't notice any distance to get even OK sound from. I didn't spend much time in the room, I just wanted to check out th...

Cessaro once again didn't manage to find electronics that compensate the cold TAD sound, so the Silbaton WE demonstration one or two rooms away was quite a contrast. Without being addicted to that kind of sound and without having too much listening e...

Yes, the GM70 is very much unknown to most of us, especially in its "pushed"/HV version, and it is not likely to be properly explored by the average DIYer, either. Lamm did choose to use some of the driving ideas from his proven SET amp, but it ...

Looking at what was presented in Munich High End 2018 I found
one company that picked my interest. It is Jo Sound. I think they are in UK.
There are two comments the I would like to make. The
demonstrated B3 loudspeaker that I find is spe...

I'm way too lazy to double check the math, but it looks on the face of it like the 6N6P is one answer to the numerical problems you've posed so far.As for sound, I would prefer the best 6SN7s. But who can find them and who can afford them, once they...

Probably not the best place to post this, but in response to the related observation in the referenced post:How can we impliment the PS that seems always willing to blow itself up in service of the Music, if called upon to do so?Perhaps when the ...

Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much satisfied but as I am goi...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

I need to say that this is the best sound ever. The kids are
growing and now got converted into a normal size human able to extract sounds from
anything…

Mark, what loudspeakers are you planning to drive in this configuration? The single-stage amp is 2W and the full-range Milq is 6W -7W. Anyhow, look at my replies to others in this forum. I always advise before thinking about DSET around Milq to famil...
|

I am kind of at lost, as what is doing on with my playback is surprising to me. With a pair of new 6-ch Milqs, more or less acceptably calibrated (but not perfectly), the system begin to throw some very astonishing effects, so astonishing that I am v...

Something had changed very positively with multi-amping. I am not quite sure if it is because the full multi-amping of the specific of the implementation but it is what it is. The entire dynamic relationship between volume of a given tone and the ton...
