[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] When things are good (mind clear, etc), actively listening to music, giving my attention to music and nothing else, will result in a mental voyage through space and time that is every bit as engaging as the best film….[/q...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I am certain that the depth of such an experience .. is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind… I will be very curious to see how this 7th chann...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]What would be really interesting would be to compare the hard drive to the CDP, while feeding the signal of both into the USB DAC. Obviously, getting a USB signal out of the CDP would be the challenge.[/quote]I agree that ...

Jessie, I love the way you have got it so you can EASILY move anything in any direction. I imagine this will be a key in maintaining your sanity as you and your system evolve together. And I agree with the form-follows function aesth...

Jessie, as it happens, I find my own best listening position varies somewhat these days, depending on what I'm listening to or for. For the best overall energy in my fairly energetic room, it is with my ears about 1 1/2 m off the...

Hello Jessie and Klaus,
Could you provide the contact for the Carbon suppliers you have found?
Thanks,

[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...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I live where FM program quality justifies a good tuner. Despite getting what I consider to be really excellent sound from this modded TU9900, I will one day compare it to a TU-X1. I will post my findings here.[/quote]

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Memo to Silbatone: Associating yourselves with a person who expresses himself in this way will undermine your hard work and any credibility your products might deserve.[/quote] I kind of thought this way initially but the...

Hi Jessie:It is indeed a (t)horny dilemna whether to get rid of the midbass horns now, with a view to starting all over again and customise the new horns for your eventual new home in Detroit or ship them at unfortunately what will be a very substant...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Is this because of the way you are driving them?When testing my one completed mid-bass horn (AK151 into 40Hz Exponential with 8" throat), and powering it from an amp that drives everything from upper bass to HF, the output...

Msaudio, constructivism is almost squirting out of you, doesn’t it? But it ok, I got accustom to your attitude. If I feel that I will be able to get only 80 Hz then I would not proceed with this project. Do not worry about devalue of my property: unl...

Paul, Alinco magnets perfectly able to drop a charge "just like that" and I presume that it is what happened. If cause the environmental difficulties would not do it alone, at least for that time. Over winter I had output tubes worn up on both amps a...

[quote user="Paul S"]You might also want to try stiffened felt, which seemed to work "as well" as the paper for me, and it is easier to form. Just saturate the pre-shaped felt with runny "paste", whether gluten/starch or methyl cellulose, milk glue...

[quote user="oxric"] Of more importance to me are the resonance frequency and sensitivity to environmental vibrations of steel especially in a monopod configuration. [/quote] Well, the resonance frequency of frame is the subject sucked out of nowhere...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]But about the Wilson video: At the risk of deviating into an area outside the intent of this site, I'm prompted to ask, what the hell is up with this style of presenting? It's really become a cliché... The "sincere" fixed...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Here's what's behind my comment regarding the irrelevance of color: I strongly suspect that the new production diaphragms will come with transparent Mylar suspension. In that case, I would hope they turn out to have the me...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have not heard any other systems using Vitavox S2 drivers, but I know it is possible to get the S2 to generate on-axis unpleasentries. In the case of the system I am building, one can happily sit straight in the firing ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I now feel a sort of responsibility toward other S2 … and still no cringing.[/quote]
Well, I lost that responsibility long time ago. There are 6 external factors that besides everything affect the “cringing” of S2:...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] To that I would only add the following: Start saving up now for a second pair of S2s.[/quote]
Yes and no. I used the second S2 for lower MF range but it is not only way to go. I would propose that any driver with large a...

Marcus, my opinion about it does not change.
Any systematic methods of simulation of horn driver/horn systems are true only within a scope of very specific coordinate systems that was chosen for predictions or simulations. It is wonderful for patent...
