My first guess would be that the hiss you are getting is "tube rush" form upstream rather than an artifact of any resistor/voltage divider. This may mean you still have too much system gain. Again, properly tubed ML2s make NO so...

Got a Hi-Fi Mini System. It was one of those Mini System that is conceded “great”, including by some of my “trusted” friends. Well, the “great” Mini System turned out to be quite crappy sounding, even for those $250. Was trying to run with the Mini S...

I am thinking that there is an explanation and it has to do with a narrow sweet spot, where the large system sums properly with reduced amount of chaotic room reflections, with a smeared timing. I noticed a similar effect with my system and if I redu...

Bill, you say you use 3 separate AC sources. How are these sources separated? Are they all 120 VAC? Are they all in phase? Do they share a ground at any point before actual grounding, and if so, where do the grounds coincide? Do you use a dedicat...

Romy,what do you think will be the crossover points of the new system?...
|

This is a question that can perhaps be approached. There are two ways in which I approach the music I use to tune my system. First, there are recordings of which I know firsthand the original event. For example, as a friend to musicians, ...

You have probably seen this system on the net:The system is obviously not optimized but it is a very cool looking system none the less. I also like the visual appearance of your multicells on the Altecs. My listening position is 16 feet from the horn...

Paul,The two channel system is separate from the HT system - the gigantic plywood folded horn subwoofers support the screen but that's the only connection to the HT audio system.The HT system is three Orb Audio 8" powered subwoofers, 3 x Gallo Ref. S...

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 must have missed out on how you regulate gain to or from each or any of several "channels"/pass bands, Romy. I can remember years ago trying lots of EQ things to get "Flat Frequency Response" and finally giving up on all of it, including...

Thank god for partial retirement. Now, instead of delivering babies at 3:00 AM, I can listen to my system.Glad to hear the system is sounding so much better, especially with the ULF channels. Guess I'll have to get you up here again to retune my syst...

Adrian, can you confirm whether you were using cable with shielding or without? Like you I had the buzzing go away when on battery or without PP2000 in system. It became dead silent. Then with PP2000 back in system there was buzzing. I went to all sh...

Very interesting application Romy, I really like the adjustment system that you built in. I have some EV tweeters in the shop, never even listened to them. Steve Schell and I haven't gotten to the point of trying tweeters in our field coil system yet...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

Clark: You heard what units can do in my place.Romy: Took your advice and added high frequency rolloff to the woofers. The sound did clean up the way you predicted. Now if I can get my subwoofer amplifier back asnd rebalance the system.Paul: Am erxtr...

Are we all in agreement that up to now "the best power" in terms of sound has been the best wall power?Maybe this has something to do with the fact that on a good day there is a LOT of current pushing the "best" wall power into a system tha...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

Dear Romy,
Thank you for the commentary and the advice with regards to the need to have a COGNITIVE ORDER OF SUCCESSION and to test with another speaker in situ first.
Given the varying degrees of how different individuals process COGNITI...

[quote user="DOT*SYSTEM"] OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. [/...

Hi Romy,Always nice to correspond with you, thanks for your comments.I used the term 'sophisticated' literally: so - phis - ti - cat - ed Adjective: 1. ( of a machine, system, or technique ) Developed to a high degree of complexity.As do you, I prefe...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

I was slowly looking for a compression driver that would go in my Fundamental Chanel down to 200Hz. The YL Acoustic 550N attracted my attention. Then I realized that it is the narrow throat type of the drivers, aka WE555, not exactly that I would...
