Hello Romy,Just thought I'd post my latest re-visit to this cartridge.I've played with this overthe last 2 years on and off between Helikon/VDH MC10. It was ok but did not make a big deal,so I carried on with the Lyra which was finebut not what ...

Jessie, there is another solution that you might consider, that might be viewed as compromise for one-side as might not be view is compromised from other side. If to allowed ourselves to close eyes to midbass timing-integration and if the geography o...

[quote user="cb"] Also i stick a 30k resistor in R3 and the results are very good. [/quote]R3 is Milq’s loading resistor and it hardly to do anything with amp itself. Milq has own input loading is floating on the bias chains and it has a ...

Yes, I feel it necessecary to include context of electricity, source, amp, and driver loading, when discussing driver sound even if (as in this case) I have to say I don't really know all the details of what they are--the details still matter. ...
|
|
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...

Neil, it is a big secret but the Thiele-Small parameters not really applicable for horn loading. The mass and velocity centric operation of direct radiators spins around the T/S, however the pressure-centric horn loading much less depends from Thie...

I never feel comfortable with corner-loading despite that the best midbass I even heard was coming from corner-loaded horns. The corner-loading is so much room specific and it is so imposable to do anything with it that it become a very ugly lotter...

[quote user="electronluv"]I have not tried different loads for the different driver magnets but i also have not played with fix magnets for a will.one thing is changing load to the tube really only makes a big difference in the bass regions on a...

First of all I disagree that the objective of loading is to tame RF resonances. The tame RF resonances is what is the most easily observable. I personally never care about RF resonances while I chase loading but only about the LF. Secondary, I do not...

[quote user="DHT4ME"]Romy if you feel that you are not loading the tubes enough put a 16ohm power resistor in parallel w the S2. this will cut the load line in half. It should be less wiry and stronger more weighty sound. Obviously you might experime...

Keep the driver stage, the 6N6P, as new as possible. This tube is very critical for the given amp. You might get a tube tester and measure the mutual conductance but with the low price of 6N6P I think it is hardly necessary. I would change it as ofte...

This week I will be trying to address why the Milq midbass is clipping. This is very interesting one. Currently the Melquiades LF channel uses an output transformer 700R to 5R or 11.83 to 1. I thought before that I have much lower ratio, like 5:1 bu...

John, I have to confess that I feel very not easy about the idea of Synergy horn. I did not hear the Danley Synergy horns and I have very superficial understanding of what he is trying to do with the whole Synergy/Unity idea. The whole idea does ...

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

Allo Romy, I have no idea about the above - my gut feeling is that the required thickness of material would be too great, still, I bow to your experience in S2 mods. I just wanted to mention something that came to mind that might be of interest: I re...

I think that thinking about the audio problems in terms of phase is perhaps logical but counter productive for the reasons you enumerate Paul. It is not the humane thinking... but room *loading* and the DPoLS placement philosophy are... feeling the m...

Roman in a few posts you have made reference to the interesting topic of cable current loading. I'm keenly interested in your findings....

My Ortofon T3000 SUT is wound with "20-9s" silver (or some such shit) over some sort of super-duper core, all wrapped in Mu metal. Since it is designed from scratch to partner with the Ortofon MC3000 II cartridge I use, I would really hope it "works...

Yes, I guess I would sing the different songs if I need to load them differently. In fact Mi might need but I juts refuse to acknowledge it. Nevertheless I am not planning to compromise my phonostage by different loading. BTW, did you try to load the...

HelloI've always wanted to try an ESL as a horn driver:So I employed a hi power Koss 3-layer bass module cut from Koss "model 2" spkr.Polarizing voltage was low on Koss design so it was upped to 3kv w/ custom PS.Horn is old closet that had a trapdoor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]. What was your resonant frequency after loading? The 416 are 25Hz drivers, after loading and with two drivers it might be deep in teens. From the picture it looks like you keep the back chamber of extra large space, or eve...
|
|
[quote user="Horn Savant"] I then tested the two 416's in free air and they were 28 HZ each. Then I tested them in the horn - both drivers driven with signal and measured 23 HZ resonance. Better throat coupling - better than, say, a Shearer or Mirrop...

I personally think Johnathan Carr is .....well.....yeah.I've owned turntables since I was 18. I've tried many cartridges, many phono preamps, and tried the "exotic" cabling, gold connectors, etc... and I've tried capacitance loading and resistive loa...

The Sussurro has an unusually wide loading range listed by Soundsmith, ranging from 470 ohms to 5k ohms. It is possible that more recent models have a somewhat tighter range between 470 and 2k ohms but I am not positive. The capacitance of Soundsmith...

[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, at the socket is usually the best place for tube-specific parts, and straight undernerath the socket is often the quietest at-the-tube location. [/quote]Yes, this is my exp. too, although loading R has two roles here: 1) ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
People frequently talk that a higher loading has lower distortions but I do not thing that is has anything to do with distortions. The key in here is that harmonics that are changed with lording – higher loading get “sho...

[quote user="Axel"] …did you experiment with either primary or secondary SUT loading using your various carts? If so would you mind to share any of your findings? [/quote]
Or course I did, anyone did. I am not sure what findings you would like...
