N-set, at this point I am under impression (not conviction however) that a hybrid with some kind of harmonic correction circuit can do the job but spend much less blood. I have to admit that the best hybrids that I head had (Lamm M1.1) no where remot...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]
I do not think I called you with names...

... and nothing as a result. After testing, measuring and the most important listening the new Water Drop integrated with the rest Macondo I summized that I would need to go still for a second order on my tweeter. It is kind of not what I hoped. I di...

Paul, you are missing the point. When I said about “tilted” response it is still a "flat response". If your 10kHz-2 octaves has minus 1-2dB over your 30Hz +2 octaves then it is VERY flat, way flatter than normal deviation of most playbacks out there....

Ming, how are you doing? What I mean: how it your bass horn projects doing? We interacted in November and as I understand your horns is few month old nowadays. As now, your initial euphoria about the Goto bass and Goto horn should be gone and you sho...

I am taking about a “Default Evaluation Loudspeaker”. Let pretend that all people who do SET appointed one single full-range driver: like some kind of Fostex of Feastrex… and all agree that the driver is placed dead center of 100cm by 100cm open baff...

[quote user="gordan"] plus they IMHO sound better - less prejudiced towards a romantic SET sound we all know (and some try to avoid).[/quote] Yes, Gordan, it is exactly what I heard about the 10s from the sources that I found rational. The huge plate...

[quote user="Paul S"]But you aren't using the tube rectifier, are you?!?[/quote] Nope I do not. I cancel the contribution to sound from rectifiers and “sonic quality” of chokes by using substantial value of blocking cap that does not allow AC to go ...

… very close design-vise and sound-vise. From here I need just to put a 3-4dB voltage divider in the grid of the driver grid and to found a really good sounding filter caps that will be able to handle 450V. I have some metalized polypropylene but I d...

Yesterday my local audio guy visited me. He also fold in love with YoYo tube, flipping juts once between the normal linear tubes and YoYo was enough for him to ask me to leave the YO86 in there and do not change it anymore. We both agreed that it is ...

[quote user="ghpicard"]Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much sa...

Decoud, I have 4 questions to ask The configuration of chasses you use implies that input has to be in the mid of the amp in front. I however, do not see it. So, where is the input and why it is too far from the first grid? What brand/made/specificat...

Actually I have found a perfect association how to describe the Y0-186 sound, it sound like dill herb. This might explain my love to Y0-186 as dill is one of the most beloved smalls and taste. A combination of dill and garlic is a magic small that wo...

After all, I faced a problem where I did not expect it. The MF channel with no wirewound LPAD attenuator sounds more extended but at the same time not all of that extra HF too useful. In fact, what I hear is that with the series resistor Sound ha...

It is not the subject that I closely observe at this point but I have to tell you that paling with my new MF amp I do develop some linking to Chinese Shuguang tubes. They are pretty good and for $75 per pair new they are surprisingly good. I am not f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anthony, I do not know what you new buffer is. A few notes. The difference between sub 10R and 300R of output impedance is significant for the load you have (Milq) between your new buffer and your 10Y preamp. The type of th...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. [/quote] I would expect this horn to go much lower, let say doe to 150Hz. You if it was a front firing horn without loading to a boundary...
|
|
Actually another idea that I was "considering" was to put a sound-absorbing screen inside of the bell. I used it a few years about and it worked very well. I needed very slightly to roll-off a MF driver and I was not able to use indictors. I ended up...

Dear CatYour facts about Plasma Tweeters are incorrect. It is so far off that it is useless discussing it."I feel that that their Sound is very muck syntactic" ..."I feel the plasma tweeters take the sub-dynamic, deneuralized sound of electrostats to...

Jan ,I meant to say: when you get the real LF from playback then you might reevaluate your preferences to HF “wildness”. The wide dissipation is always a good idea but without LF the wide dissipation does not work properly. The LF “compiles” the wide...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Also, I'm convinced that a too-big space is horrible for audio as well as being non-conducive to good mental concentration (some of the best ideas are born on the toilet!) [/quote]
The subject of playback in very...

[quote user="cv"] That said, I do have is a single 160Hz/1.5" finally up and running on a compression driver, and it's a different world - stunning. Actually the results are exactly as JJ described. [/quote] The JJ, is it Jeffrey Jackson? I have no i...

Decoud, in order to say anything useful I would like to know to the following: 1) Where the tweeter will be installed? 2) What the size of the room? 3) What are you planning to install the speaker in your room? 4) What LF solution do you consider...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]acoustical impedance transformation gives no explanation to the practical applied sound that you might get from a horn.[/quote]
i am sure there must be differences between theory and practice. i would like to know what ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to admit that I am not a huge fun of TAD drivers. They have a good bacterially clean sound but truly nothing really special. Rgs, Romy the Cat[/quote]If everything in a recording / playback chain was clean in the sen...

One more thing I would like to add: what if despite of the oversized throat problems we have a task (as you, NL, proposed) to use the overthroat horns (overthroat - horn with oversized throat size, let it be one more Romynizm). I think the dealing wi...

I am not sure what you say. You said that you are able to do time alignment by by-ear listening “a well known single instrument recordings, then to more complex and textured recordings”… Can you tell me what you are listing for while you are doing it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I did not expected that the main impediments in the super Milq project will be the organization (sound) of the filters, particularly the high-pass filters. [/quote] After some experiments it looks like the input stage of t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"].....it is scare how good it is and how good the new Melqs handled it with … almost smile.[/quote]Since almost 3 years ago I was introduced to Milq it went a long way. There was two full-rage Milq ever built by me – one was...
