[quote user="be"]Could you tell a bit about how does this:
"I end up with 360V on B+, 15K plate load, grounded cathode, 160V on plate and -3.5V on grid via a series battery."
sound as compared to the normal Milq bias?[/quote]
I did the following. ...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is...

Jessie, there is another solution that you might consider, that might be viewed as compromise for one-side as might not be view is compromised from other side. If to allowed ourselves to close eyes to midbass timing-integration and if the geography o...

Hi all
Thanks for your thoughts, Romy.
In my view the least controversial of your “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. Or, to put it another way, I agree with most of it.
I'm not so critical as you to open baffles for midbass, tho,
in fact I thin...

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

Paul, Some good valid points... yes, they've gotten much better over the years, no doubt to technology improvements. A good example is Mallory CGS caps made in the 80's versus new ones. The newer ones are much lighter physically (same p/n), hence th...

[quote user="op.9"] One thing nobody has mentioned is using the room’s corners. Is this a no no? I’ve been trying use McBean to model a horn exiting into the corner – with a middle ‘mouth’ about 1m squared - and using a conical approximation as the r...

[quote user="anthony"]Have put all my DHT's on the curve tracer to see if pairs can be matched for preamp duties. [/quote] It was very interesting to read about all of it. If you have a socket for YO186 then you can accommodate all 4V tubes and I si...

[quote user="Bud"]My first choice would be a Sony SACD recorder with storage in SACD format. Quite expensive, but I would not use an expensive Sony playback device. Their early models (still available new on ebay) were designed to show how much bette...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important files from there were backed...

Ronnie,
There are no needs to be funny about it and there are no needs to get a daytime job.
A phase tester and RTA analyzer are absolutely obligatory thighs to employ and they are inexpensive and very simple to use. A simplest phase tester you mi...

Without completely understanding the post, I listened to all the samples (which by the way, will play immediately without doing anything if you have a mac...oops!). I first ran the files through my main system (there is a laptop + DAC associated with...

Romy,i Would state that any digital vs analog discussion must take place only in context of recording of musical material, not within the world of music reproduction itself.
be it analog tape or computer media,raw recordings (let´s call it...

[quote user="DOT*SYSTEM"] OK Romy, I get it. You may believe that the act of the DVD-A creation software will alter the music bits as seen by the transport/DAC. I believe the software is only encapsulating the data into the DVD-A binary image. [/...

It happen that I thought that my old Sony XBR Trinitron TV when sound and I was forced to by a new one. The old TV turner out to be fine and I was stupid to be left with the new one. It is a contemporary LED TV, they say the it is the best. I say...

Dear Romy,Assuming that your questions are "honest" ones ( I have no reason to believe they are traps, like it happened to me before with a certain Mr. Thor), I will give you "honest" answers, hoping that our dialogue will be of some interest to the ...

I cannot find the Gorenstein version of Gogol Suite in Australia but it is available on Discogs and Amazon overseas for extortion prices. Streamed it from Youtube, not Gorenstien, but someone else, and it really made me smile. Listened to...

Romy,
As always, thanks for your thoughts.
Regarding cone movement versus rear chamber pressure : I understand that low excursion explains to a great extent, the advantages of horn-loaded designs, I just don't understand how something that "doe...

Romy, thanks for the explanation.
I was not sure if you still kept an eye on that thread Romy. As far as I know you need to be logged in to view the images in the diy threads so I will post a couple here to show where...

Yeah, the scale of things looks more like what I would expect... In my images I used the models of horns I am building for myself... so the Fundamantals horn is not the same as yours... also, it is placed too close to the listener, but was just tryin...

I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...
