I think it is time, today being both my birthday and the day when I received the first updates from Russ regarding the frames for my 'Rakeshorns' system, for an update. The idea behind the frame was to have a construction that both provided a fai...

OK Romy, I agree this should stay here, especially that I will probably have more observations to come as from the late January.
I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be ...

Hi Romy…and fellow audio nutters. I’ve bitten the bullet, and shifted from BLH to front-loaded. Yes, I was an idiot, a moron for not doing this sooner. My project is ‘humble’ by Romy’s standard…but I feel it meets the following objectives I h...

This gentleman's set-up makes me think very much of the one I have in mind for my new room in due course. Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabu...

[quote user="oxric"] I have always felt that if I went for a vertical array of 10" drivers, I would keep the drivers closer spaced than you do in your 'Dunlavy' made enclosure. Based on the 110" height of the tower, I see that you would be doing this...

Hi Romy,I think you may be struggling to get 10-12db of gain out of a spud amp (the term is a play on "one tuber").... May just about get it with 6C45.... remember you will be stepping down something like 12 to 18:1 on the OPT.best case: 10db require...

Actually it is very possible that it might be so. I made some rudimental measurements and concluded that RAAL tweeter and JBL midrange mounted in the same baffle has non-perfect time aliment. So, I will need to use gaskets under the drivers to time-a...

Robert,Many thanks for the clear exposition of the technicalities to consider in making what is on the face of it such a simple choice. I however disagree that the points being considered here, as both you and Romy seem to suggest, only ought to be c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I personally more inclined to have “accurate” sound and word accuracy is more implies to a playback accurately and fatefully render the essence of musical events. Pay attention – not accurately play the input signal, not ac...

The Carl Sagan’s suggestion that he would rather "know than believe” is good tool for sales personnel, priests and pitchers and the politicians of nowadays. Since perception is really it is imposable to “know” with any degree of certainty without sub...

Regardless, I like technology and like the idea of having all music instantly accessible from around the house from one screen, especially via a remote screen like the iPhone/iTouch. From there it is easy to stream from one server different music si...

People,
This site is dedicated to music, advanced audio and the evolved music reproduction techniques. Initially I planed it as my log or as my audio dairies but then I decided to enable people who would like to exchange the ideas in a forum format....

Dear Romy,
A. Recordings of different quality are worthwhile. Let's take three examples:
1) A stereo recording that you feel is as good as it gets.2) A mono recording of a beautiful piece of music that is well played.3) A stereo re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I g...

I had today a couple listening sessions with the Water Dropped Macondo. It was amassing and …. a little strange . The tweeter does whatever I was expected from my imaginary “conceptually-perfect” tweeter but it also it does something new for me, taki...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, the resonance frequency of frame is the subject sucked out of nowhere. I can’t not even begin to tell how irrelevant it is. [/quote]You are probably right. Obviously not having lived in earnest with any multi-way horn...

The bass traps, the biggest one, have only limited effectiveness on the spectra of interest and usually have much more effectiveness in 2-3 octave above the spectra of interest. This make bass to sound less problematic b...

Yoshi, I think you are mistaken, let me explain why. When we enter the realm of conversations about “comparing” Goya and Pollock then we touch a very lucrative ground of actually comparing thier artistic methods, their expressionism and many other th...

[quote user="drdna"]I think it has already been stated. Batteries in audio are inherently of limited utility. It is a tendency of audiophiles to dedicate themselves to a single "silver bullet" instead of building the system based on the particular ne...

Spoke with Dima last night. He is working on a broken Lavry DA924 units, I guess Lavry own support is so good that people need to find alternative ways to fix them. With all criticism that Dima usually imposes to the design of digital devised he ...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Thanks for the comments. I believe that a preamp giving the same kind of benefits of Melquiades and being able to deliver them with any power amp and speakers would be something truly great. I know it won't be the same than t...

Morricab,
I do not know the “truth” and what I said are pure my speculations based upon what I hear and what I measure.
Yes, Lamm drivers at 310mA quite hard but do not forget that his objectives, besides everything, were to get out of his SET max ...
