I must say that I have always thought the Cardas "Golden Ratio" schtick was pretty lame. So it was with no small measure of trepidation that I sent off a rather outlandish sum of money for two Cardas Golden Whatever 4.7 uF caps for th...

My primary
interests (when I do purely technical listening) are in the field of psychoacoustics
and the last 2 years I spent a lot of time investigating how the brain reacts
to differently arranged sound sources. The interesting thing is that the ...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your fu...

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...

Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. I do believe, in a 2 way speaker system crossed over at 800hz with a good wood horn i wil...

I listened to these files for two (2!) hours last night. Over and over again. Don't ask why. The choice of music is unfortunate but it is what it is.
There must be some physiological activity going on with the A8 box as I became somewhat accustom...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Try slowly removing from your perception of concept of Audio Neutrality, substituting it with Event Recreation Neutrality. You might discover eventually that a Recreative Really has a very strong cross-expressive bound an...

[quote user="rowuk"]In Macondo/Melquiades thinking, random process means random result - and that is exactly what happened with Dunnoy. A random driver was placed in a random cabinet with a random passive radiator and random cabinet damping. All subs...

The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
I made a visit to an audiophile with Lamm LL1, ML3 and Wilson ...

Actually as far as I can see from the picture and trying to estimate the location of the drivers in the horns: The 3 front horns are probably time aligned, meaning the drivers are lying on an circle with the center at the hight of the listener and th...

Romy,I know you know there is no such thing as perfection.My favorite quote is from S. Dali who warned, "never fear perfection, you won't achieve it". But in that statement are, at least, two messages.Nothing wrong in striving for perfection. Being...

Ok, so I did the test (no explosions, flames, or smoke!).
Results with the shorting plugs in place :
Just like you and Paul said, only upon sticking my head (my ear really) right up inside the MF horns was I able to hear just the slightest hiss.....

I have not been able to respond to all your questions until now because I was infected by a trojan on this site several days ago. It SUCKS having this happene because it takes radical hours of time to track this crapware down through the window...

I read one more page from the Tenor description, before the author begun to talk about sound. A correction need to be made, from the first pages I understood that the amp use 6N6P driver but on the next pages it was not the case. Perhaps I confused s...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Your rules say no direct answers so forgive me this one.
My horn is a true 21Hz horn.If you want to do the calcs:(More or less) Throat 6264 square cm.Mouth 48312 cmsq.M or Q 0.7 depth 3m.Quarter space loading.It does not quite make 21Hz.-3...

yes I understand your take with regard to those phrase, now what a about "too dull" or "not resolved" or "lack of detail"?Those would then be equally 'incorrect' for initial sound determination. If I use a different cart to my current V15 xMR, sa...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

Here is an article by Leonard Norwitz that I think some of you might find motivating. I do not know Mr. Norwitz but it sounds like dinked too mach Qvortrup’s coca-cola. Anyhow, although I do not agree with some (sometimes many) of the Mr. Norwitz’s c...

I have a problem with how you are using the english language, Romy. You are using an absolute word (like absolute) to mean something you have invented and it is a relative thing. This for me won't do. I understand more or less what ...

[quote user="DHT4ME"]Well we know that Steinberg who created Wavelab is also behind ASIO. The Ottachan ASIO notes state that Wavelab was the sonic standard for compiling the plugin. It is possible to get very close to the Wavelab sonic standard...
