Points about the self-sound of the PH-77 are well taken, not that I'll be spending 8K on anything any time soon, regardless of its "value".My own K&K phono stage is totally Spartan, just to avoid all the circuitry that typically facilitates the s...

[quote user="noviygera"] I think clearing this up this may be of benefit to other users who are building multi-way horns.Let's say I've got two horns mounted on a frame. There's a high horn above and a mid horn below and they are physically time alig...

I realised this morning that I have done a "not-so-standard" thing in using leftover fibreglass batts for stuffing the tubes. The batts that I have on hand are high density batts, not the low density type of fibreglass that is usually used for stuff...

I recently had a visit by a close friend, who is an accomplished modern jazz saxophonist but a recording/mixing engineer, running his own small studio. We listened to some bass-heavy material on my Dannoys, the bass was acoustic - piano and drums. Da...

The fact is, typical "stereo" L and R separation is mostly an engineering hodge-podge to begin with, and any further messing with it will be very much settled by ear, whether at line or at speaker level. Yet James Bongiorno set out to "solve" the pr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It might be a good driver but the horn section of it is very much compromised to begin with. If I have it I would consider substituting the original TAD horn with my own spherical horn. It might be difficult as it might be ...

OK, I have found the problem I had with my digital and
analog crossovers, now everything is consistent. It turn out that my contractor
why built for me the IB manifold confused the polarity of right and left channels.
I was not able to use the pha...

N-Set, how do you plan to convert the 3 phase back to 1 phase? Also, it is likely that the whole house system uses the same ground. IMO, careful routing and keeping neutrals and grounds separate to the original ground bus is probably as good as anyt...

Eventually I found hot to balance out the fundamental channel’s arm a 1 galloon bucket filed with led shot and Super Melquiades power supply do a good contra-mass.
I did not do a lot of listening but the very initial listing that I did are clear...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] Thanks for the lecture on material I've been closely acquainted with for thirty years. But please don't try to dodge the issue, viz., that you erroneously said AC plug polarity has "nothing to do with The Wood Effect". The...

Romy-In this thread, you previously said--12) If a
filter requires a phase inversion then it is preferable to flood
crossover point with amplitude and do not invert phase.What exactly do you mean by this and how's it work?thanks-d....

[quote user="drdna"] Fundamentally I think the injection channel and layered sound are different things. The injection channel is designed simply to compensate for the timbral shortcomings of a particular driver. However, because of lobin...

Ok, I will share with you some ideas that I have in my head how to deal with horn decay asymmetry. They are in a way the further development of the Haralanov’s idea of acoustic diode – the brilliant concept from my point of view.
Before I will...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What however I would like to ask you is the subject that bothers me the most: how can you determine that the record is cleanable? So, my question is – how you differentiate the noisy record that might be cleaned and improve...

I did one thing: I swapped the phase of one of my PS transformers (the heater one).My PS transformers are placed parallel side-by-side and super close to each other. Very wise, but I had no choice. I tried to wire the primariesout of phase to have so...

Hi all,In my experience it is VERY hard to get anything resembling realistic bass from a vented box, particularly with a Q of around 0.9 or 1. There is too much stored energy in the system and too much overhang. The best bass I have heard...

Hey Boys, Remember even if you use a modern "pancake" compression driver, you still have no control over the flare rate the manufacturer used within the phasing plug. And most of the time they are not willing to tell you, or they don't even know...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Our bass driver has a 12v field coil motor, it developes just over 20 kilogauss flux density using a low carbon steel pole piece. The exit diameter is 4 inches at the moment. The diaphragm is 6 inches in diameter and made of a...

I guess I would like to be able to do something better than anyone else - and still be better after 100s of years.....My take is a bit difference. When I perform with players with a Stradivarius violin, it isn't the violin that is impressive - up clo...

Hm, SGSG-37FRP, Driver frequency band: 400Hz - 10kHz, 18,500 gauss SG-370, Driver frequency band: 400Hz - 18kHz, 23,000 gauss SG-370DX, Driver frequency band: 400Hz - 20kHz, 24,000 gauss Inversing, they build up magnetic density and extend HF. I...

Do we finally understand what part of the Bad Electricity problems is [broadband] noise and what part is related to "waveform" issues, such as phase? And do we understand how attempts to deal with either one of these issues might affect the othe...

Yes a few ridiculous requests and statements there indeed. Full ridiculousness intended.
I know Dunnoy needs a lot of power and low impedance amp. My aims are not the same as yours here as I'm not concerned to...

Heifetz recorded the Tchaikovsky concerto 3 times: with Barbiolli, with Susskind and with Reiner. Frankly speaking I do not like any of them. It is not that I “do not like” them rather they are like having sex with a marble-made women – the shape is ...

[quote user="drdna"] To me, there are three types of problems:

So, basically you built a wall on the right side, separating
the listening section from whatever it is behind the wall. A bold move. As the
room become slightly smaller and you lost some time for bass dissipation you might
try to drop the slope at...

1) Did you experiment with surface of the horns and a negative contribution of smooth surface to Sound?Smooth surface are fine don't waste my time on a trival matters.

[quote user="Paul S"] The "calm HF" effect is something I have long sought but seldom experienced from repro, and I have blamed the amps as much as the ribbons. Mere HF extension is not enough. Hard to say whether the amp or the rib...
