ROMY Your analogy of fitting the foot to the shoe is on the right track... Some times you need is a better pair of sox,,,You dont need to change the decorum of the Symphony hall..When you have a shitty orchestra,,, Sometimes rearranging the musicio...

I did read your earlier post regarding the P300's use and unsuitability for analog in your system.I am starting to listen only in the early morning, and I can hear The Change as the day gets going and I presume people start switching on their ai...

I have not yet seen, heard or even heard about any power "solution" that regenerates AC and also balances the neutral and ground and isolates each leg of the AC and also isolates multiple components from each other.Again, I have heard of people ...

It was not so long ago that the Super Milq was a twinkle in Romy's eye,and now it has come to the point he is a strong proponent of DSET (not to be confused with DH-SET). I am always a big believer in the power of topology. I was thinking about...

"So many people today are interested in audio only to make money, or for show, or as one of their many passing hobbies"I occasionally go to the meetings of a recorded music society. A group of maybe 50 mainly older (50+) people gather in one of the l...

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 ...

KOTriode, I was not criticizing your DAC, whatever it is. I was saying that system-design-wise if your preamp was able to inflict such a dramatic change in Sound then in my view it just highlighted the problem with DAC. Take another DAC, or any comme...

Putting together a speaker system that ticks all your boxes is a lot like doing anything else well: it is fine to experiment in order to find your range and learn your options but once you choose a path you must stick to it. Chopping and changing i...

I appreciate the suggestions on the ceiling of the room; in my room the ceiling is about twelve feet tall and it opens on the side to another room with a taller skylight, so I do not know if this is a problem or not. It may be worth investigati...

Well, I hope that Romy is the only one who still thinks I'm tube rolling, because this post is even farther afield (although it is almost a spin off from the previous posts about AC/grounding).I finally got around to adding not-terrible po...

Sorry, Adrian, I did not hear either phono stage in my present system, nor did I A/B them, but I "compared" them in my "aural memory", with the actual listening sessions spaced several years apart. Back around the time of the FET 10, maybe a li...

Mani, I haven't done yet an honest A/B comparison PP vs wall, PP off, PP on, but what I hear I would not describe as a 'sparkle'. Unlike Romy's and others' experiences, at the beginning I had some HF harshness rather than HF shyness. No idea why, but...

Amir, this is the most popular thread at GSC for a reason. While most people don't give bad electricity a thought, there are obviously plenty of audio people who are looking for answers to these questions. Since my AC provider went "Smart", the AC wh...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:
Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

Friends always think I'm doing "wrong" when I say I'm listening to "horns" in near-field conditions... "then" - i.e. after listening - they leave my room as believers... I'm having a new bass enclosure made which will allow me to - at last - prop...
|
|
First off, I forgot to mention an interesting observation: Before running the sweeps (previous post), since the drivers in the upper-bass horns are new, I decided to verify/optimize rear chamber volume (they are easily adjustable)... I wasn't expecti...

"I see things differently. My view advocates that playback creates NEW Sound from scratch and the relation between the Sound of original event and the Sound of produced by playback have no inner-correlative point in audio and they mapped ONLY through...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I am certain that the depth of such an experience .. is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind… I will be very curious to see how this 7th chann...

My five cents, folks... find nothing wrong in a flexible ULF, as it, sort-of, makes honour to any audio system and music and audio lover, as this "flexibility" strongly reminds me to various music and concert halls and venues around, where their "per...

Keep in mind that my crossovers are not just 6db filters. There is an impedance correction network, suited to these exact drivers in these horns. Unless this correction is there, the first order filters can not work against the rising or falling impe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually if that horn would not be bending atop, go for another couple feet vertically, consequentially has a smaller throat and of course has a strong back chamber then it would be a very good J-horn (presumably that the w...
|

It is easy to calculate the lobes that are created when we use multiple drivers. That means we can mathematically derive the closest distance that all of the horns in the entire system will "play" together. When we are close to sound sources, the pro...

So what are we to make of a product like the ML2 amps (using them here only as an example, not a topic)? I have to say I more or less took a flyer on these, since I never heard them in a system I could stand before I up and bought the...

Telus, briefly, in my system:The Synapse is "good" because is ameliorates HF noise adroitly enough to make it "work" in some systems (probably most systems...), including my own before recent "upgrades" to my DAC opened the door to other options. Fo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0d1) 3) The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound. ...

Romy, I think that the only real "solution" is to develop a boot cycle for your amps that consist of warmup, parameter test and after this is test is passed, change to operational mode. I am pretty sure that your tubes do not simply unexpectedly expl...

A little update on the Milq amp.After sorting some of the problems with the amps transformers (see posts above ) .I now have two mono blocks operational that have about 700 hours ,I'm so glad hour meters were installed .Filament voltage is spot on 6...
