[quote user="floobydust"]Okay, I think I understand.... and thanks for the link on the YO-186... if I can ever locate some of these I'll be sure to grab some (hmmm, a trip to Russia perhaps). As tubes get very hot internally, there were some procedur...

I always say do not stress them they do not like it and I always hate third bass. The 10” are particularly are fragile with a power handling of a few watts. It is applicable pretty much to any lover MF driver that pushed to work with the “open b...

It is nothing to do with Wisdom. It is my principle of application of “cost” as a common sense design tool. I do not bitch that Duelund caps are expensive. I just try to find a rational solution for using them that would embrace their price. My ...

Romy, Just a few notes.... I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low inpu...

Romy, thanks for your thoughts,Quotes from Romy in blue : "...I personally do not feel that you use Fundamentals Channel properly. You desired to run your Fundamentals Channel up to 3200Hz but it is too high..."Maybe, probably, yes, OK, I a...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

I recently could not pass up a good deal on a EAR 834P MM, so I will have the opportunity to compare it to my current phono stage. It is funny since I had planned to listen to EAR phono stage in my system about 10-15 years ago when I lived in Santa M...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The subject of midbass nasal sound is very interesting. In addition to all OTHER aspects that might lead to midbass honk I would like to note that there is one that is in my view greatly overlooked – the precision of re...

[quote user="Axel"] I hope I got this right when going through this long thread with LOTS of information. Did you mention for upper-bass cross-overs Elko’s (electrolytic) only to be your preference? If I have it right, any special preference at a...

Two of my local audio folks asked me to put online my thoughts
process about my listening room. Here are some basics. Yesterday, messuring my
room I got the following response in lower octaves. That is a typical response in
rondom rooms, or wh...

I think it is about right. The 6C33C for upper base has 100K
biasing resistor and 20K to ground in Lpad. That would make ~60Hz. This high
pass that unload the LF from the horns that it can’t handle is very important
as you do not want driver to pr...

I have no doubts that it will work but I would like to understand HOW it works.
The objective it to have first order filter, of cause not the filter where capacitance do high-pass roll off but RL. In RL filter there is not reactive elements i...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 22...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I was under the impression that you did not at all electrically roll off the upper bass, and that the small throat would do all the (kinky) low passing. [/quote]
Nope I did roll of the upper bass channel as my driver goes all t...

[quote user="Chirag"] The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. [/quote]

[quote user="decoud"] Romy, can you be persuaded to post a sketch of what you think the optimal 2 channel Melquiades circuit would look like? [/quote]
Decoud, I do not think that there is such a thing as optimal DSET. The entire concept of DSET is a...

With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Your latest post got me thinking in a sort of incomplete way about how you might locate the injection channel... If you consider tone as a harmonic of the original source, then (depending on the order of harmonic) it may ...

Yamaha B-2 reportedly was a top-flying amp in end of 70s, during it very brief production period. It has in a way cult reputation, so I’ve bitten it.
I was forced to very mildly and temporary modify it, just running the signal directly the ent...
