Jessie, absolutely wonderful. Dima used the very same techniques to build his own MF horn. BTW, I made in past a prototype horn with similar idea that ended up disasters because of my stupid “willingness”. While I was applying plaster I spared ...

opinion : Just as in the world of good black and white film, once
strapped into your listening seat, your brain most appreciates a system
capable of naturally rendering relative contrastI don't agree. B...

BTW, Jessie, this morning I opened a Super Melquiades and made some changes in plate current measurements. While I did it I took a shot of the Super Melq inside. The former image was made juts when I finished the amp. The current shot is actual stage...

hey jessie-I've wondered the same thing-- and the more i end up twiddling around with it, the more I think it really either comes down to good measurements, or good listening! And in fact.. probably both in conjunction!I have a small 2 wa...

BTW, the Jessie, since you will be apparently mingling with you PP converting it into Euvro (Romynism form European Voltage) then you might find the comments of the PS Audio owner worth attention. Sure, not when his older PP is archaic product he is ...

I still feel that computer CD readers are not good but I do it might not be ONLY their fault. Most of the today machines have CD-Rom that juts spin too fast and it is imposable to make a CD-Rom to read at 1x speed. There is many custom softwares that...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Why no amount of watts will compensate for direct-radiation :Start with the obvious : When compared to either multiple direct-radiating drivers or a single horn-loaded driver, to achieve the same SPL, a single direct-radia...

Jessie, current is mentioned repeatedly because in the case of DC, and in this situation, the current is actually what one wants to meter out. Lamm just gave us a simple way to take a reasonably stable, real-time "measure of current" at this poi...

Yes, Jessie I have thought about it as well but whatever you do with 40Hz horn you end up with horn talk with each other. It is very simple to measure – use one as a transducer and put a measuring dB meter across the VC of second driver, treating...

[quote user="msaudio"]I also believe there is little wrong with your new room. Some electrical problems witch is common for new layouts and some light reflective material her and there with some good furniture witch you have been thanking about for a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jessie’s comments about my idea to position midbass straight horns from basement, upper- firing and his warning that the horn will get converted into a giant garbage can made me to think. I did not think about it but it is ...

I go for tractrix because:"I know that if I done
everything properly then any profile in my room I will be able to make
to have right Sound because I know what and how to listen and I know
how to react upon the heard."I dont. Yet..."with 100Hz Tra...

|
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I completely agree, and will use the driver that sounds best with a 40Hz exponential horn. I have both versions of this driver, and have listened to them both in an A/B situation, out of the horn; I remember noting the...
|
|
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I could not agree more. Above a certain price point, another thing that should be standard procedure is what Lamm has been doing since day one; and that is to establish a file for each component made, recording whenever p...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]As for balancing the amplitude between channels by driving them from different taps: I drive the upper bass horns form the 16 Ohm taps, and everything else from the 8 Ohm taps. An 8 Ohm versoin of the upper-bass driver...

Jessie, since I got my amps I have followed Romy's suggestion and recycled swapped-out V2s into V1 service. As it happens, I do not run V2s (or V1s) over a year, but I have had no problems of any kind that I can relate to following the annual V2-to-V...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I might be totally wrong, but I just assumed that Vitavox's decision to specify a lower impedence voice coil for horn-loaded applications was related the additional load placed on the driver once mated to a horn, resu...

I did put some gasketing under the driver, not thought but to so what it will do. I used the substance that I described above. It is Home Depot 3207680110 or the model #DS110 Pug duct seal by GB Electrical. The best thing about it that it is that pla...

[quote user="jp"] I assume a simple hole sealed with silicone would not suffice given the amount of pressure build up in the rear chamber? [/quote]
The pressure that builds up in right rear chamber is truly enormous.

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Have you ever tried the Community M4? I'd still like to try this driver.[/quote]Yes, I think we had a convesation about in the “The Macondo’s Upper Bass Channel: what is next? “ thread, I have linked it to current thread. ...

Jessie,
When I spoke that I would go most likely for exponential I did not mean the Exponential vs. Hyperbolic but rather that it would not be a Tractrix. I have no specific preferences for Exponential, Hyperbolic or any other long profiles. A commo...

Do you know something more about AMR new DAC? There is no mention on their site....I would be extremely interested on the results of such comparison.[/quote]Nope, I did not pursue it.

Interesting, jessie
In my past I was trying to make my PC-based music server to act as CD transpire but whatever I did a dedicated CD transport sounded substantially better, in fact non contestably better. I used various software to read CDs, ...

My curiosity peaked with Jessie Dazzle’s last few posts. I realized that, in France, he receives 220v, 50 Hz power. I then recalled Romy’s post at http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=1177#1177. I was wondering i...

Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of differe...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]….. sit back and conclude that, yes, damn it, a pair of good straight Mid-Bass horns is exactly what you need. My reasons are of course somewhat selfish... as I won't like being alone in needing a non-digital delay solutio...

Jessie,
Actually the tendency of manufactures to isolate ground becomes almost common among any more or less serious manufactures nowadays. The main’s ground is so polluted in US hat it is scare… or even dungarees. I remember a few years ago when I...
