[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

>>Gera, are you catapulted from another planet? Are you sure that you want to drive a mid horn with Rowland amp?
Romy, some people that know me will say "yes", I am not sure... Of course no, not the Rowland to drive my horns, this is the amp ...

Chirag, my amplifier is passive pre and tube power, with input selector relay-based, and with no pre-out so there is unfortunately no easy way for me to utilize it for my purposes. My initial idea was to do just that, but then I would have to keep it...

I never had a chance to play with various preamplifiers in a very high-resolution system, but all the attempts that I've made with my system at home are constantly returning the same result - passive linestages seems to be the most accurate one....

Yes, I was implying the dipole-centric results (open buffers, ports, passive radiators and so on). They all has tendency to “demean” the significance of Sound by introducing the false sense of comfort that reduces the original anxiety and complicity ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Thanks for the info about transformers. It is as I expected, however, that these passive devices are not passive sonically at all. I agree with you that the higher quality of the transformers should lessen the effects ...

Hi Romy and other fellow audiophiles, what is your experience with passive transformer based preamps? Is this the ultimate way to get a perfect variable gain? Or do you prefer to use an active preamp?Chris ...

Hi Jorge, Marc, Adrian, Romy et al,First off, Jorge what's your asking price on the modified DEQX ? Which model is it ? Who did the mods and what are they ? I am very interested.Adrian, as I recall you live in San Francisco. You are sti...

[quote user="Thorsten"]I can now (given that this particular cat will be let out of the bag) cofirm that traditional voltage regulation even with an extra 40db @ 100HZ passive filtering remains audible.[/quote]May be it is time to review some basic c...

ok. maybe we have a different understanding of "electronic equalization". We do not use active (i.e. electronic) equalization in the amplification chain. There is of course some equalization in the passive crossover but I really don't see what's ...

Well I have some literature from the Show and about the Audio Tekne speaker I can say that:- it has an outboard crossover, which I guess is passive and uses a lot of transformers- woofer diameter is 380 mm...

IF the Remedios cabinets have more volume than the Dunnoy, you just put bricks inside Remedios until you have the same volume. I assume that EVERY Tannoy Red will have a different resonance frequency. They are old and have certainly not been played t...

Paul, one of the reasons I went for the Orelo was because it's as close to "plug 'n' play" as I can imagine a speaker system being. So I'm not very knowledgeable about its detailed workings. What I do know is this though...There are 3x 15" bass drive...

Ok, understood. By the way, Dayton Metallized Polypropylene capacitors are fine for this experiment right? I don't have to buy expensive ones just to have a good idea of the passive crossover sound quality? I hope not.-Herman...

With the stock radio-CD and buzzing fulrange speakers in my Civic I often find myself puzzled how pleasant and musical this crap sounds. If only I could get close to it at home -fruitless pursuit so far .Romy when it comes to tube tuners is it a high...

Hi Alex,Short of waving goodbye to the Bidat for a few months, you could always TRY the splitter idea from your favorite cable guy. It may be acceptable enough for your needs.Did you mean there is no space on the back of your passive/relay base...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"] Line level crossing or passive speaker level crossovers-same devil. [/quote]
If you are planning to build a dedicated LF SET then the line level crossing vs. passive speaker level crossovers is not the same devil. With a...

I am very interested in your DSET adventure, and is trying to learn more about the application of adding crossover elements into SET amps. Looking at the schematic, I noted that you add first-order passive filters before the first stage of your...

Well, Paul the more you happy and pleased with your transformer-attenuator the more I feel it would be interesting to see your reaction to a good active unit. A “good unit” should be the key-world in here as since you complained about active units’ n...

saga and Particular is those ...

The last night I had truly alarming in experience. I visited
Bill who had my original Dannoys and brought to him my SIT Yamaha B3 amplifier.
He did kind of in the same directions that I did, disconnected his horns and
was experimenting with Danno...

I am not completely thrilled with TwoGoodEars new crossover.

First of all , Stephano has a preamp with tube out stage. The guy in his post says that the l...

Hi Romy and all,
first of all, my name is Henry, with a "Y". due to an Irish grand-grand-grand father called "O'Henry". the O' was deleted when my grand-grand father was born, due to a silly servant of registry office. :-) all my horns uses the calc...

Dominic,
I personally do not believe into nether non-powered preamps nor into autoformers volume controls. In my world as soon a any voltage dropper begin to drive any cable it calls trouble. A volume radiating voltage divider or transformer should ...

Jorge,
You're right about using identical amps. No doubt.
I have not used Dr. Edgar's passive network but I have tried conventional passive networks on Edgarhorns. They worked alright.
And I have...
