[quote user="twogoodears"]I'm pretty interested in yr. opinion about the possible choice of best, safest, smoothest way to use solid-state amp/low-end with "Triamp"... ok... 3-channells DSETs... and my system upper ways... what slope do you think...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]Hi, yes i agree that my solid-state amplifiers were not best choice for compressio drivers, they were my second amps when electricity was bad, otherwise I use a custom made 300B from La maison de l'audiophile for my s...

Ewa Podles in Boston this week in Rossini’s opera “Tancredi.’’ To celebrate Ms. Podles arrival in Boston I bought last week a couple of her live CDs with Russian and Chopin repertoire. Love her voice, even some of Garrick Ohlsson’s accompaniments we...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Sakuma San is some sort of cult figure among the tube-o-philes. I wonder why he is implementing so many transformers in his amplifiers. Using transformers can be a good thing but in my experience too many transformers give a som...

Greetings,
I may be able to answer some questions regarding crossovers, multi-amping, etc. - without getting bogged down, hopefully, in metaphysical issues.
First off, I live in San Francisco, if he's inclined 'drdna' and other locals are wel...

[quote user="homebuilder"]I am new to this interesting site, and am hopeful of getting some assistance with a project. I have purchased a set of TAD 1201 mid-bass drivers to begin a 4-way active system for critical home listening. (in a d...

In terms of the length of the horn, I'm allowing myself a total height of 7'6" (just below the average ceiling height of 8'). In regards to the mouth diameter, that's another matter. (It appears that I will have to build two [2] different...

Talking about the headphones amplifiers: Sugden HeadMaster.
I do not subscribe audio publication and buy them only if I’m mood to bitch about something. Occasionally I buy the British Hi-Fi+, which is kind of mandatory to buy living in the New Engla...

[quote user="noviygera"]I am very curious what "properly made" means when perusing the tonal attributes of LF. What properties or specifications other than driver diameter do you evaluate when perusing a better tone?[/quote]

Dear Romy, thank you so very much for mentioning our amplifier to your excellent forum. Indeed, during the last 5-6 years there are a lot of manufacturers “from non traditional hi-fi manufacturing countries”. In particular, in poor old Greece we ...

[quote user="Chirag"] Well..my first question would be regarding the application. The big Melq tube is already doing the bass towers...is it not enough current? [/quote]

Last week I had an audio visitor from far US state and listening Sound in my room and wanting to make a compliment to me he said: “of cause, no one can’t achieve this bass without your solid floor”. Being asshole as I am I begun to stress with h...

I know, I know, it is absolutely not NECESSARY and I do not think that I see a need for it. I however see that it might be USEFUL in SOME cases when a recording was mastered by a complete idiot.
So, I wonder if anyone comes across to very high...

Interesting….. It is interesting to think about the relational of Melquiades slow take-up. I think that major contributing factor is that guy who calls himself Romy the Cat. Really, I think it’s it. The people who are capable to build amplifiers more...

[quote user="nl"] Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio did a series of one-stage DHTs with a step-up transformer input about ten years ago. I think they were called the Mercury series. By all accounts, they sounded good, but of course had limited gain, ...

Right. I do not mean to suggest that my
own solution for arriving at an acceptable global result using the
Milq full-range was not a short-cut with regrettable new weaknesses
(or just missed or postponed opportunities). But I am curious (wary)...

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

+++ Going back in time to your Super Macondo with the midbass horn, I'm wondering how did the big horn influence your perception of Macondo sound if you remember?
Yes, it is very very good question and essentially the question which r...

user="xandcg"]I would like to know, if you do not mind to explain,
since you cannot drive your bass modules using SET, why you use Solid State
