[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I plug it for a first time today. It looks like it is sensitive like hell and I did not hear any titanium problems on it even without low pass filter. I do not have infrastructure now to look into it further. [/quote] I ...

Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...

a Hong Kong-based company DIY Hifi Supply is selling RIAA EQ modules, the first modulesthat I have seen at 10kOm. It is something that Thorsten did not do commercially… but if the silks sound good then it might be VERY interesting. Is anyone kno...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is was not bad sound but the sound that clearly indicated that something is very wrong: supper compressed, complete absent of LF, huge HF extension. The whole horn sounds like a bad MD driver.[/quote]Open the back panels...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We have no idea what this guy is looking in Sound[/quote]Yes, you are right. That's the biggest problem.I suspect he misused his gotos (at least to some degree), because there is nothing in the sound of these 2A9 drivers th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Now at higher it goes and as louder it gets it has more and more almost some kind of mechanical resonances overlying over sound. Dead tubes would not be doing it. [/quote]... but did you clean your needles? And does this h...

I do not think that anyone would be able to “teach” and I do not thin that there is nothing to teach about the mats. A good “sounding” platter does not require any “actions” from mat and the hard rubber mats do exactly...

Does anyone else have that sliding and helicopting sound on continuing notes during MET broadcasts? I do not think it is my local guys but I 6think it comes from MET. Is it just in Boston feed or anyone have it?The Cat...

One of my YO186 have developed a dark eye on it’s getter. Even the tube still measures fine and sound fine but I wonder what make some of those tubes to get dart spat of the getter gloss. I have seen it before and do not have any association between ...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]
OK, is it “randomness” of “freedom of movement”, the questi...

Well, I think my Yamaha B-2 is not working well. It slightly cures my ego with MiniMe. I took today the B-2 and drive them with good conventional loudspeakers and it had the same sound –very very howly (and ugly!!!) sound under 200Hz… I wonder, do I ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"]I would like to start a compendium of anecdotal observations of the idiosyncratic nature of COMPONENT PLACEMENTS in the circuit. [/quote]Surely all passive components in the circuit have influence, but I...

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...

Took today my first new sauna. Yes, I agree that music is not working with sauna. I however am not sure if no sound at all can’t be used in sauna. I think some kind of new-edgy elevator music with a lot of LF might work quite well. Not that I am look...

[quote user="zanon"]Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?[/quote]Absolutely not, it is not what I meant. I meant that the only advant...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] OK, I agree – it might be not necessary as PP2000 does produce fine electricity in a convenient package. Furthermore it violates the rule that I try to follow in audio generally: define snick objective and ONLY then re...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is ...

You could source used TAD tweeters for ~$1K pair .They sound exceptionally smooth and extended .More so than infamous T-350 and with better "tone" which may be relevant since your 288 are tonaly "dead" according to the Cat. Who knows, he may be right...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]it happens ONLY in the inhalations with improperly integrated drivers. The entire subject of the “improper integration” shall get rid of this possibility. I know that you use EdgarHorn and what I heard it at its best I did ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not know that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes involved in Levinson’s operation. With all disagreement with those individuals I thought that they are smarter than to deal with Mark Levinson. I hope they did not give him an...

Although, I do admire the café as concept, audio-wide what is presented on the pictures is a damn nightmare, typically in-line with my expectation from that “type” of people. I am sure that you “freaking sounds great” is just your puffed up perceptio...

Actually I need to correct myself. The purist with leaked out fluid do not change sound with the fully filed cables. The completely dried out cans with no residue of the fluid at all do have sonic results. The dried out Purist has a typical unpleasan...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not care about all of Nilsson Pass amps; I feel that all the same and all are very sub-qualified. A few years back Mr. Pass went for his low-powered SS single-ended amps and they might be more interesting. The Cat[/qu...

Jim, yes, I use the 6E5P as triode, I never tried tetrodes, never has needs to do it. I have somebody tried them as tetrodes and commented negatively about their sound. I do not know if it is true – it what “they say”. Ironically I do not like how th...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...

Recently I was playing with my horns, running with across my room, trying to hit with them my Cat…. When I settled down at the place when I need them to be I one more time faced a problem of cables. Whoever use multi-channel systems and do milliampin...

That some kind of Association of Sound Historian in US has discovered the earlier know recording of human voice. It was made by scratching paper smoked with oil lamp. The recording is made in 1860 – many years before Edison – very interesting… Here w...
