[quote user="Romy the Cat"]When you are taking about “caps at higher frequencies”, then what do you
mean? The line level, the speaker level, the line level between? Do not forget
that a RL filter is always preferable over C filter.[/quote]It was re...

Hi Romy,I am calculating crossover scenarios for the HF Channel (Channel F) and am hoping that you can remember a reasoning for using a 20K LPad instead of a larger value such as 30K or even 50K? As the larger impedance is used the value of the capa...

[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. ...

Yes and No... Yes, I saw/heard some exhibitors with music on servers, that I felt was limited in scope, and insufficiant quality to show what I wanted to hear (dynamics, range, complexity, whatever). It can be used as a convienient "reason" not...

First, verify the levels. The ADC may expect a PRO input level and your tuner may be putting out 200mV.Second, I would run spectrum analysis of the tuner output and look what is happening past 15kHz. Is there any 19kHz, 38kHz or higher frequency sign...

wide open, just to hear what it does with either condition.It is illuminating and surprising, especially the first times, you hear, in one case, how it divides up the spectrum and in the other case how the driver responds above the range you intend t...

I do not believe in applied presbyacusis. It is not that I do understand the subject of loosing spectral sensitively with age but I certainly do not feel that deterioration of HF sensitivity makes a person more or less capable to register music. We ...

In this case I do not knock the author of the articulate. He is a reviewer, the Soundsate.com level of reviewer, the worst kind and there is not a lot of expectation from him. It is not to mention that where did you an industry reviewer was able to ...

Thanks for responding. You mention a rotary phase knob. Is this ULF system connected through a digital processor? If yes, will you expand on DSP effects on sound and system integration with the DSP? Many "pros" use these filters to "handle" speak...

After much consideration I desired to get my test crossover. I chose when for Velodyne SMS-1 that someone pitched at this site before. The unit has 6, 12, 18, 24, or 48 dB/octave low-pass filters that I need and runs up to 200Hz. I do not think that ...

Hi,[quote user="Genn"]May be it is time to review some basic concepts?[/quote]I am quite familiar with them, thank you.[quote]I'm using today IC based, Accu powered small amplifier, and it reproduces music, without any noise and distorsion from angry...

IMO, with care the Lowther DX4 does pretty well from 150 to 10k Hz.; but it is as colored when "loaded" by a horn as anything else.The "notch-filtered" DX4 driver is pretty natural in an OB within its "easy" range, lacking only the la...

I think it is Wiremold part number L10320. At least it used to be.
It has no filters, no switch contacts, indicator lights or passive protection devices and uses hospital grade outlets....

The least offensive result I have gotten from a ported speaker was closest to the yellow option. I built a pair of small monitors with ports on the top purely because it was the only way they would fit. I cannot reasonably e...

The problem of most solutions in high end audio is "one step forward, two steps back". Personally I prefer to hear all information/dynamics of sound even if the sound is out of control.when I use Isolation Transformer, AC filters (both parallel and ...

Checking if you playback can discriminate absolute polarity is very simple and very effective way to find out if you acoustic system is not fundamentally faulty. Flip the polarity and monitor the result. If you did not experience dramatic changes at ...

[quote user="Bill"]1. Put a door in front of the alcove that is casusing the resdonance and line it with 6 " of sonex. May turn the space into a bass trap at 60 Hz.2. Put an adjustable notch filter into your crossover at 60 Hz.[/quote] Bill, the 6 "...

Well, since this thread is about the BMS drivers then what can I say? When I tried the BMS driver I felt that their “absolute tone” ability was at the level of demands of school auditoriums. Read more about “absolute tone” at:

Romy, would you explain / help me better understand how you implemented the HP filter in Melquiades?The schematic shows a series cap after the first tube stage (C3 and C4 in the schematic). I think these are the first-order HP filters, correct?Quest...

What a great rap! At first it triggered my gag reflex, but it did not take long for my eyes to roll back in my head while I began to run the numbers: how many cords, which models, etc.OK, it filters out certain orders of noise. So how does it do wi...

I do not think that I might use an equalizer in normal sense; I do not need the full flow EQ option. What I might find useful on some case is to have 4-5 fixed curves and it would be pretty much it. Hypothetically with Macondo and DSET I might write ...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...

I have to say, that I genially like the new 99.5. I do not have as perfect reception as I had with 97.9 with absolutely clear, no noise background. Still, thankfully the compression of the new 99.5 is very low and last night and today live broadcasts...

As a certified non-expert I wonder about 1st order XO with the tweeter, because of the phase issue. Probably stupid, but I always figured that at 180 degrees you could just switch the wires...But I have not tried 1st order on a ribbon for a lon...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I wouldn´t talk about "wrong polarity", rather about "dislike of the resulting harmonic spectrum". Wonder how the result would be with phase-correct FIR filters for the RED.[/quote] El`Ol, it is not how I see the sings and I talk ...

Paul, again the diodes are there not because they are diodes and one needs a diode action there, but because they wanted to substitute cathode bias resistor with something that would have a big static resistance (to set the DC point and stabilize) an...

Hey, Wojtek, nice to hear it worked out for you. And what did Retsel think?Can you and/or Retsel say what you did not like about the un-Bud-ed Lowthers in the same installation(s) and what the improvements are?I have been uneasy about "mere" "i...
