Hi Paul,The Cogent diaphragm I have seen pictures of was woven carbon fiber with a leather outer surround. I have never listened to a Cogent 1428 but they must sound very good, at least Bill Woods and Bruce Edgar say so.Besides their overall ultra cl...

The room is actually bigger now (about 75m2) but the whole orientation has changed. The speakers were at the opposite side of the room near the windows. Having windows for a front wall had a detrimental effect on sound in the old layout. The absorpti...

I made this measurement in such a way that I unsoldered the wire from pin 4 (black in the photo) and connected to it the red clip from the multimeter, and to pin 4 I connected the black clip from the multimeter. I set the multimeter to the mA rea...

Scott, I'm guessing the installation shown in the photo makes lots of LF, but how does it provide balanced, "free air" loads on both sides of the drivers?Best regards,Paul S...

Interesting discussion, and nice installation, but I still don't understand how this elaborate set-up unloads both sides of the driver cones, apart from free air?Scott L, when you click on the "link" you've created in the dialog box, check at the bot...

Romy,
I ran the tube conservatively at 40W, because it is still breaking in, and I do not want to push it too much power to damage it (then I will have to break-in a new tube all over again). This amp can give max power at 20.35W (12.76Vrms into 8 ...

Finally listening to my Melq which I have named Koshka!Here is a photo of my two tiered wooden chassis which I tested before sending it back to the cabinet maker for sanding and oiling.Thank you Romy for your blog and making the schematic available t...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]No, I did not change the wires, just took the photo of the old socket from a different angle (off 90°); you need to mentally rotate the image.[/quote]I did mentally rotate it. The very first wire on right from the bridge b...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

I was listening to that Everest LP yesterday and found myself half laughing through the 2nd and 3rd movements."sarcasm and professional virtuosity" seems like a fitting description, although I haven't heard any other versions of the concerto.I got th...

And this capacitor is connected as shown in the photo. its minus goes to mass, its plus goes via R21 to the B + tap in the OTP transformer. I waited for the resistance to stabilize, which started at 2 million ohms and stopped at 42 million ohms ...

What a pity, I hoped you had one of those SPD rooms at home ;-)I still think that some things could be explainable, but I guess it would be as explaining a blind person how different is a good photo of a nude woman from having that real woman in...

[quote user="electronluv"]Is that you in this photo?[/quote] Nope, I am much larger, much bolder and much more obnoxious. I told that I never heard/seen your horns. In fact I thought that this installation was in your home or in a home of your close ...

I think about 99% of the problems with sound that I've complained about has been about slap echo.It took a lot to figure out that it could so completely shatter the sound!As long as there are no flutes or pianos in the music, it isn't that troubling,...

I just noticed the empty space at the location where your midbass horns are/were positioned. Am I blind or are they missing?Edit: I must be very stupid - the photo is probably taken before they were installed... :-))...

Romy,That's a great photo and so funny. Your children are just so adorable. I do wonder though. Whilst Thomas seems to rather enjoy the multiple wonders of operating dad's multimeter, the little twins look like they are ready to pull the plug and say...

Maybe this link will work, so others can see the original WAMMs I have been referencing. Yes, they had "phase issues", but - like I've said - I have not since heard better from Wilson.http://www.stereophile.com/taxonomy/term-a/168?page=8Scroll dow...

I saw the drink cups and the framed photo next to the TT so it seemed that it was in someone's home. I guess we need Stich to chime back in on that. If it was a commercial presentation, then yes the system would be an issue because you don't know how...

Romy, perhaps you can give your 7th a photographic based analogy which you seek improvement on.Just don't say photo stitching ...Wavelength dependent level /hue /sat adjustment ? (gamma + black and white point)This will be recording specific though.....

Maybe it is because I have very low audio-IQ, but I don’t understand the implementation of your ULF channels - how is it possible to inject +30dB at 25Hz without changing the sound? What is the crossover frequency of that channel? Could you post a ph...
