I saw this topic and it prompted me to register and reply, rather than just read, which I've been doing on and off for years now.

I have posted about some of my recent experience with longer "naked" HF ribbons in Romy's "Water Drop" thread. Here are some observations that relate these drivers back to the ML2s, along with some other recent ML2 trivia.My speakers are listed...

I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get the new listening room checked out electrically and the new system ground installed, etc., but I finished this work yesterday, including a soldered-rather-than-clamped ground wire-to-rod connection. ...

[quote user="op.9"]Well, I found Janacek strange and unfathomable. I was brought up on Haydn-Beethoven-Schubert-Brahms-(Mahler)-Schoenberg route... so I had no entering point for Janacek. I also loved Dvorák and Smetana... but this was no help ei...

As most of us know, the answer to Sherlock's pointer is, the dog did nothing in the night-time -- and that was the curious incident. [quote user="morricab"] Romy sez: "I see things differently. My view advocates that playback creates NEW Sound from s...

Glancing a few days back over the latest TAS magazine I come across at the first pages Robert Harley’s article about a Asian guy who has zillion turntables, speakers setups and listening rooms in his home… Robert, wrote in his blog about that guy: “T...

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

A few comments. I think the region that impressed you was somewhere 50Hz-500Hz, the melody range with all those fundamentals. It might appear that it was in the lower end but I think it still was the fundamentals with first overtones. Since you c...

Robert,Many thanks for the clear exposition of the technicalities to consider in making what is on the face of it such a simple choice. I however disagree that the points being considered here, as both you and Romy seem to suggest, only ought to be c...

This is an interesting subject that fascinates me recently. I have
a listening room with pretty good playback custom-build for it. All together it

high-end audio. For a last ...

With Ming permission I post a fragment of his emails where he describes his midbass horn. It appears that he uses cone-drivers with ltooooooo ow Fz in non-compression application with no back chamber. Now it is obvious where he is losing his midbass ...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...
