Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

[quote user="Tuga"]Joe, Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy a good pizza. Unfortunately I won't find one in a Pizzahut. "That" man's 2 for 1 pleasure says a lot about his evaluating capabilities... I also enjoy several different kinds of music, mostly...

If you visited this site before 2004, when I conversed it to audio site then you remember that it was performances-centric site. It was structured by composers, and each (let say some) composition had a list of reported...

Hi everyone. This being my first post on this forum, I thought i'd say hi and share a little bit about my journey in audio. I have been an audiophile for 25 years and owned several systems starting off with a modest Nad lifestyle system & Infinit...

practice relates to "actual sound" not to (any kind) of overloaded

Part 1 - Introduction
A few weeks I was sitting at Boston-shore of Charlse River, was looking at the passing water, was smocking my long and cheap cigar and played in my mine the first movement of Beethoven Third. I was thinking about S...

I is funny how my listening attitude is working. While my midbass horn is not built I do not listen music on my main system. I listen in via my MiniMe (Dunlavy 3) or in my headphones at work. At my home system I do not listen but rather think how it ...

Romyi will start building my first hornspeaker, going from theory ( surfing the net ) to practice. i am not pretentious regarding the result, i am very aware of my knowledge limitations and lack of experience, as i am just in the beginning. but the w...

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

As you can imagine, the ML2s simply surprised me. I thought only of optimizing my speakers, what might drive them to their best, to see what they could do with fewer amp-induced limitations. And the ML2s have done much of what I want...

Mr Hwang's implementation is compelling, but overall, being hyper-critical, it feels just a bit austere. Kitsch? Perhaps, but a theme is an excellent device to draw people in. The music/musician and historical/cultural context connection would be, I ...

Being both fairly lazy and fairly cheap with respect to audio, I remain very interested in theFR SET/dynamic speaker dream. Also, I am generally both weary and wary of the extreme complexity/difficulty engendered/entailed by othe...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
Or how about "Silbatone &...

Congratulations, Romy and Amy!
Though it might be hard for a given audio nut to believe, for some of us, family comes first. My children grew up with reproduced Music, and they spent their entire lives "watching out" for hot tubes, TTs and cables...

For a relatively small outlay I can go and listen to some chamber music, a jazz band, a choir or, for a little more, an orchestra. The quality of 'realness' I hear is consistent regardless of how good the performers are and how great the merit o...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'd agree with that. I wouldn't mind seeing the British PM being seen to support the manufacturers here (such as Avid & Naim!) in such a public way. However, such conspicuous consumption wouldn't be well received here ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Joaco, thanks for sharing. You said that you use 2A3/45 amplifier, do you use choke or capacitance right after your rectifiers? It would be interesting if you plug a scope into your loaded regenerator and post a picture (ma...

Okay,First, thank you for responding so fully or roundly(?) to my reply. Second, I apologise for any annoyance caused by my missive(s). I had my doubts at the time, and was a little fluey to boot. Not an excuse.Third, the guard...

Good summary, Markus, I would add a few more reasons but what is the point. The key is that bass from back loaded horns is dipole by nature or has a large dipole region. The back loaded horns produce bass similar in behavior of Sun during winter:...

[quote user="JJ Triode"] You mentioned bagpipes--do you think any bagpipe or other Celtic music can be of serious interest? I don't necessarily mean audio interest, but music/cultural interest. [/quote] JJ, I have no idea. Amy loves bagpipes and she...

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

Another reviewer who can write the review without hearing the product. Now THAT is something new.Don't expect anything new from me because I have been saying the same thing for 20 years. That's why you don't see me around much because I said what I h...
