Let's be precise that the overtones (harmonics) from most musical tones contain All the notes of the scale at some point in the series. The major third is there and the minor third is there. The difference is simply their relative position in the ser...

We have tested live recordings against live sound, a recording of a jazz singer was done on Reel tape on an Ampex ATR modded machine with Fluxmagnetics heads etc. The microphone used was the legendary Telefunken stereo tube mic. no post producti...

[quote user="Amir"]Ear dac4 is not so transparent and it's volume control should be removed in my idea.[/quote]Amir,Good idea. I bet it will make a remarkable difference. Try to look for your ideal sound among true Multibit R2R DACs. For your informa...

Thanks, Romy
Interesting to hear the Moscovites do it. I think I like the percussive elements that V.C. accomplishes so easily, also the particular chord deconstruction of the 2nd movement. I will get a copy to listen closer via my hi-fi.
Best...

I find this project so fascinating. I find it particularly interesting because one of my first experiences of good sound involved a field coil driver. Many years ago my grandfather bought an old hammond chord organ(predates the b3 and other...

Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]From this and from the mention of 3/4" plywood, I deduce that the "curved" walls of these horns will likely be described by a series of facets (flat planes). It is said to be okay at these frequencies; this must assume a p...

It seems to me that in terms of notes and sequences, the themes, broadly speaking, +/- "follow", but the spirit, tempi and mood (at least of the Solti performance), and even the extended chord structures seem somehow disconnected from what has transp...

romy- i have resisted using RTA for the very reasons you're citing-- learning to read the visual data, as well as methods of how to get it accurately, are as equally time consuming as any other pursuit in audio. anyone can be a reade...

Denis,
In the PP 1050 I had better result what I use extra ferrites in deferential modes, or putting ferrites in each individual wire. I never had problem with PP 1050’s dynamics until I begin to add capacitance to the P...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, my mind does not operate by the categories you employ, I rather think about nature of Sound not about harmonic/non-harmonic distortions. The whole subject about the distortion is intricate, not to mention that it is n...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Last night I was playing with my ¾” Baltic Birch. What I realized is that my Jew frugality played a bad joke on me. At this point I do feel that ¾” of plywood is not enough thickness for my 43.5Hz horn. I understand t...

Musicians do respond differently to music than non-musicians. Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain light up when their 'genre' of music or something close to it, or otherwise something easily comprehensible, is played to them,...

Jorge,
I know what you mean about horns, Living Presence. I love what my horns do. Palpability. Solidity. In an invisible sort of way.
I have two Ampex 300s downstair...

Here I would like to share some basic ideas about the skeleton of the horn. This is just a view from 50.000 feet but it will give some illustration what is brewing in my mind.
The one side of the triangular horn will be flat and will sit at le...
