Last night and this morning I have been comparing my favourite SS preamp with gain and the breadboarded 10y. I've been using my dac with its low 1.125Vrms voltage output as the source because I know what it is capable of and know its (lack of) sound...

Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and did not modified it ...

[quote user="Jorge"] Monoplatz with only the sweetspot seat. [/quote]The subject of the single listening chair is complicated one. The Macondo topology does imply a single and very narrow listening sweet spot and there is nothing the one can do with ...

Last night it was a surreal experience, sort of QSound–type experience. I still do not know here will be the exact location of my listening chair, it is debating with 2 feet, and because of this I did not bother to lock the Macondo’s channels in tim...

Romy, I have that Macondo post printed out and used for a basis of very in depth discussion with my audio companion in confirmation of understanding it. So it's not in any way a matter of disregard as you assume. It just makes your point in great...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am glad that Fane “now found … that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to”. Such a phenomenal discovery of the British archeologists. Can you ship them here in US, they can help us to fin...

[quote user="morespeakers2"]The injection channel is the only thing about the Macondo that raises my eyebrow as a kind of "out there" concept and I have been meaning to ask about it for quite some time.

[quote user="rowuk"]I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.e...

A few days back an audio guy from Mexico-city visited me from. We did listen some music, talk a bit about audio. As usually I interrogated him about the problem he hears in my sound. The people who were in my room know that I do it with absolutel...

[quote user="Bill"] I have set up a 16 channel system with 7 floor Edgar horns, six inexpensive height, and one overhead speaker (all under $150 each) and one subwoofer channel, all controlled by a Trinnov Altitude 16 pre-pro, which is a computer...

Logic, the conversation of JMLC profile vs. tractrix is not a subject of debate of any kind. This is well addressed subject and if you look at my forum then you will find all necessary information. Look for words La-Horn as this is how I call JMLC pr...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]So how do you suppose the proper DPoLS can be located? With a system like Steve Schell and I are working with, everything weighs hundreds of pounds and to properly evaluate changes would take days, maybe even weeks f...

I spend quite a few hours playing with the new channel trying to ingrate into Macondo but so far not successful.
Since the new channel and the Macondo upperbass horn have identical sensitively and identical impedance I figured that I would drive it...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"]I will be laughing my ass off when I visit the GoodSoundClub website and read about a certain Cat who was finally motivated into tuning the ports on the Mini's specifically to "adjust" Macondo's sound! I am reminded of...

I went for a better amp for MiniMe because it’s summer, hot and I am listening MiniMe more than Macondo.
But!
As I said before the MiniMe post talks with Macondo (when I turn Macondo on) and it forces me to plug the MiniMe port with a pile...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, now it is officially: I permanently removed a tweeter from Macondo. [/quote]After a few days of playing my Macondo without tweeter I begun to think what is goingon. The S2 eventually works clean and without any hars...

I guess it was shock for many GSC readers and most of us are thinking about this subject , changing from brain (high performance macondo) to heart (lovely Dunnoy) is very interesting subject in Audio.

Thanks, Jessie. I just will buy that Beswick Engineering valve, it looks like it is the right size and it look like it will do what I need
I made some experiments applying large gaskets to cover of the back chamber. I used a gaskets up to 12 mm but ...

Another very interesting aspect of the Water Dropping of Macondo is a dramatization of silences and influence of LF decay. Macondo has no own noise and the Super Milqs are dead quiet. However, the perceptions of silence with the Water Drop tweeter an...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

I am looking back and my last 2 month frustrations with presentation width, with vertical midbass horns integrations, with relatively aggressive sound bite, with somehow overly labored lateral imaging propagation prom Macondo and am realizing th...

I started this thread on November 22 last year, or about 6 month ago. 3 years back I went for single stage amps and 6 month ago I begin to conceptualize a move for a higher gain for MF and consequentially the DHT in output stage. Today the new MF...

Ok, I have 200 posts in this thread. I was stated over a year back. Thanks for anyone consulted me and observed where my Pilot Acoustic Systems took me. At this point, when the MiniMe result has settled to my satisfaction and when I am not going...

Recently Macondo was altered and converted into… nope, not into a Super Macondo :-) but in a “Larger Macondo”. The Super Macondo it will be when I resolved how to implement time delays along with a low pass flirter at midbass horn, that would enable ...

Chris, I certainly did not mean “costs nothing" in the literal sense. I meant that it costs as much as any other driver to make that Feastrex. Come on! If it is an electromagnetic driver then how much does it cost to make a few pounds of core (even i...

Last night a friend of my visited me and we spend an evening listing Wagner. He played Wagner himself a lot and he begin to make comments about sound of different sections and instilments in my room. I stopped him as Macondo in the new is no wher...

A few days back I visited an audio person who demonstrated to me his experiments with extreme lateral deviation of souses. Regardless if I agree or not what he was doing or trying to do the demonstration has an unexpected result. One day I was driv...
