OK, I see.
Actually, I was planning on using the Druids with their ports sealed. Bad idea?FWIW, I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Chimera speakers (the UK-based manufacturer, not to be confused with the 'famous' US one) that I'm hoping to use fo...

I'm working on a project that may be of interest to others, and thought posting to this old thread was a better way than beginning a new post.I use speaker level passive crossovers, between multi-amps (not DSET) and drivers. My desire is to move the...

I'm only aware of PS audio as an alternative. I wasn't crazy about the original power plant but they introduced new models recently which may be better. (I did not get favorable results running my turntable through the PurePower and I have one of the...

May be this will work:

Thanks Rowuk,I have used resistor switches before. In this case it's for a studio mixer so I want potentiometers. I'll look at the Alps stuff, thanks. I realise that question might not be received as "advanced audio practice" but it fulfils my object...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, thanks for educational reply. I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from but unit I try better transformer, presumably your S&B TX-102 I would not be able to correlate your observations with my...

[quote user="Paul S"] http://app.audiogon.com/listings/omnigon-full-function-tube-preamplifier-phonostageLooks like a serious effort that has been kicking around for a while.What tubes are used? Are they twin triode, like 12AX7 or - more likely - 692...

[quote user="N-set"] While I agree that they are typical "full of nothing" boxes and in no way I'd like to defend anything connected to them, butI doubt that the SUT-to-grid distance is such a critical layout parameter: 1) this wiring is within the b...

I think for a start there are so many different ways of getting a sound that is acceptable to the listener it pays not to be too dogmatic.I am in the early days of developing my system with speakers from 4 different manufacturers running in active an...

Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD transports vary according...

Paul -- I used 1st order & bandpass on the Beyma. I think that 2nd on the Lowther would have been better.I set out to try and extend one "way" from the end of a wide-range drive unit, downwards. This I found to be well nigh impossible -- perhaps ...

Hi, WojtekI get lots of PM from readers of this site; it should work. Try again, and be careful with the spelling, etc. Though I can easily upload pictures to GSC Image Gallery, I can't seem to get them from the Gallery to the Board. Perhaps they ...

I don’t think it was Boston Symphony but most likely Boston Philharmonic. Anyhow, this brings an interesting question: how to select the performances of the music that one does not know but have interest? There are two basic way: use someday or you...

It is not that I hugely like it, in fat if I know about them what I know now I would probably try something else. But B-2 does what it does, it has some cone and pros and it is not much different than any other SS amps I would try. Also, I found a w...

Hi!Sorry for not spotting this thread before. I'm the member of this forum and I read it from time to time. I don't know what do you mean with "he is from diyaudio.com site"? I'm member of a few formums and newsgroups but I wouldn't say that I'm from...

[quote user="Paul S"]Anthony, congrats on your amazing progress! I know how hard it is to carve out time for this stuff! I see you are looking for gain from your pre-amp, which makes me wonder if you have been using the passive Placette, as opposed t...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

Romy notes:[quote]The Lamm ML3 with it’s (looks like) composite driver stage might most likly to pump a lot of current and it would be so rational to put in there a second GM70 on the same chassis with own transformer, driving it from the same driver...

the sad truth was the space, the finite funds, and the available bms pucks! the sad truth also, i suppose,the lack of available, and sensitive horn users to bounce off of!i could probably see what your dislike of the bms stems from-- i tried to...

In my over 50 years of personal audio, I think that I can explain part of the speaker/amp compatibility. This opinion is everything but comprehensive.Bad matches in amp/speakers manifest themselves very often in the bass. Please consider, these thoug...

OK, I am keeping my new The Loudspeaker(s), and I will be selling my large "Diamond Edition BassZilla" OB speakers that feature OB high-passed Lowther DX-4s running wide range (NOT full range!) over 15" Audax PR380-M2 woofers in integrated BR boxes u...

hi Woitek. The K33 extend the bottom end by the high Q, to almost 40 cycles . Which is only ok if you work with passive XO on a single amp. Well that's how they were designed. Having designated amps that allow you to steer the parameter or even bett...

Reading the title of the original post I was under the impression that a new product was out or discovered that was a computer based optical drive system with storage as it's secondary function but it looks like just another storage based system with...

Hi Romy,The thing is.. Mr Schroeder is making a living and as such (being someone who needs to make a living in order to pay for stuff), he may from time to time have to associate himself with people that will facilitate this ability to help him pay ...

Hey, what do you know? We got that 1908 Mason and Hamlin. It was delivered last night and I have made Any to play for me my Mikael Tariverdiev's Memories sonata. The Mason does need some work and our technician told that she will do it in a week of s...

Romy, during my own quest for a center channel I met (the late) James Bongiorno, all of which I've written about before at GSC. James was a passionate proponent of the center channel, and to that end he developed the Trinaural Processor, which is ana...

Oh, yes this is the whole idea of Remedies, it is not only a Red combination but it is an assembly with midbass channel which would make it a conventional box loudspeaker. You see, with all interesting things about Tannoy Red the woofer part of t...

Yes, there are a lot of paths.I can see that many DIYers are very much stick on crossovers, changing capacitors, choosing slopes in digital filters - FIR or not FiR and so on.I know very experienced people who now say that with digital crossover he d...

I have my passive crossovers arrived. They are built by hornFabrik. Everything is up to the spec I asked for and I really like their build quality. As of yesterday, I have now a more promising sound towards what I have aimed for. They are first order...

I am observing an interesting and surprising fact – I am begging to like my active Marchand crossover. I did a number of modifications to it and it looks like the parts are broken-in now – it does sound very pleasant for my ULF. I feel it is a bit to...
