[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] You might be able to get away with a bit less; if I remember correctly, my calculations at the time (based on the above driver) yielded a theoretical ideal volume of something like 23 cubic feet (sealed), so still not...

Sorry, I do not share your sentiments with those 3 reasons. Below are my reasons.
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Three reasons:
1) To try high passing your upper-MF channel (S2 > 400Hz horn) above the 1250Hz secondary resonance assiciated ...

I did not try to measure it. Can anyone confirm the following : I assume this parameter is most easily determined by playing a series of tones at constant signal strength (volume setting) whi...

Hi Jessie :I'm sorry if this is not the subject of this thread as I have a bit of a problem following computer/digital discussions, but since you read french, there is a fellow in france selling a device to send audio signals from iTunes to audio sys...

Jessie, that about sums up my basic impression of digital sound in general for many years, until very recently. Just add thin, disjointed and arbitrary "harmonics" and noise that makes your skin crawl, and so far the more elaborate the sys...

Thanks, Jessie. I will try something like what you describe if I fail to find another 8M. I suppose since I have one, I can make some kind of comparison, although mono is clearly not ideal. Hopefully Romy is right about the availability of 8M and I w...

Your experiments bring to mind the excellent results Jeffrey had with his half horns:http://www.goodsoundclub.com/GetPost.aspx?PostID=7467&Phrase=VSACIt is also good to hear that you have an "assistant" Jessie.Very good indeed....

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when mo...

It is an opportunity to pursue the common obsession with all things military: the largest formed transparent structures are probably fighter jet canopies. Acrylic would be optimal, vacuum formed at elevated temperature. Were Jessie dazzle still here ...

I know you do not want to do it, but it is a shame not to do it: actually manufacture a version of the Macondo with an integrated dset, cut down enough (say three channels) to make it feasible while still demonstrating the advantages of the dset idea...

I don't know Jessie, but I also have listened to the files several times and I stand on my comments. The file DAC 1 is the one that I find more "loose" with more room defining bass, and DAC2 the one with some sort of better harmonic definition. The o...

I am on begining (1 week in progress) to design frame for my future horns. 115hz400hz ribbonand 200hz or direct radiator as fundamental channel.I like functionality of Jessie frame, and Romy "flying horns" look.I think my project will be ready at th...

With this device, it is obvious that compressed recordings are more tollerable...My waf also noted the effect. ...

Jessie, sorry to hear about this trouble. Another thing worth knowing is that Teflon notoriously "cold forms", meaning it shifts shape over time according to ???, even when "not hot".Best regards,Paul S...

It is a pity you can't be persuaded to get an OEM like http://www.meixingaudio.com/ to make the Melquiades commercially for you. Perhaps it might be possible when Jessie starts making the Macondo......

Jessie Hi, re question 1, drop Jon a line at Sonic, he is far better placed to advise you on the addition of new codecs and hardware , the 'early adopter' software is I believe $1000, there is a demo version but it cuts out after 30 seconds which is ...

Jessie, that is hilarious! For many years I felt so cagey to know to look out for the "white label" and/or "demo" LPs that various record "Labels" sent out to radio stations/DJs, hoping for air time. In most cases they were "ringers", better in eve...

Jessie, I agree in spades. You could play around trying to "tune" that thing for the rest of your life.But then, who is going to hear serious problems with something that was such a pain and expense to build and install?More likely is that...

I am constructing a set of 400 Hz resin-bonded sand horns and have been thinking about the best way of coupling the S2 to them. I can't find anything off the shelf that is 2.620 x 16 tpi, and none of the people with lathes I know have imperial kit to...

Very many thanks, Jessie.Presumably damping the interior may also be desirable where the horn is quite thin. I know there has been a lot of discussion on this site about the right quality of paint, but mostly in the context of heavy MDF horns. What i...
