Hello all! My name's Cody; just a disclaimer: I am an employee of TARA Labs. I'm not here to promote TARA Labs products, I was just hoping to have some worthwhile discussions with other audiophiles.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3

A few days ago in the thread “Who Builds Horns”: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=3226#3226 there were mentioned the Cessaro Horn Acoustics Company from Germany. The company has an interesting model Gamma: http://www.cessaro-hor...

Hi Thorsten,
I understand what you are saying and with regard to the particular preamp in question and you may well be right as there is no mention by the manufacturer what brand of autoformers are in use (or if they roll their own). I am curi...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

[quote user="zako"]I dont get it,,,Why introduce a system thats been around in all the CINEMA theaters for the last hundred years,, I guess what goes around comes around again,,,[/quote]
Well, they did not “introduce” anything as I understand...

This guy is certainly trying...... What I have heard shows at least speakers that are very listenable

Well, behind all those conversations about the Alex peruse to his happiness and about the Srajan-like freak to bite whatever does not lie firmly I think the most critical and important aspect of the RAAL project get lost – the sound of those things.&...

[quote user="drdna"] So what are the effects of good electricity of the PP2000? It may be a good idea to look at the frequency response and harmonic distortion of the system to see if filters in the Macondo speaker system may need to be adjusted now ...

The Anstendig Institute wrote:"...The attempt to reproduce the way sound is heard by means of stereophonic sound reproduction is a misunderstanding that is the result of a fault in logic..."Yes, it would be better to record each source of sound with ...

Well... tis for all reading/following this thread. As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. And as Adrian hinted at... the overall system paradigm is important. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on yo...

This is an article from Thomas Dunker's site (available in my Links Section) and presumably written by him. Although I slightly disagree with some of the statements he made about the horns “imaging” and some others but generally it is very good...

[quote user="morricab"] It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They ...

[quote user="drdna"]I have found the next obvious glaring problem, which is contributing to the muddy sound I described earlier. There is a mismatch between the two channels. The right channel is very slightly softer than the left with a ...

How the hell can a miserable recording of a live Rolling Stones concert be any reference for advanced playback. I'll bet that everyone that attended the concert was amazed - and that had to be about the shittiest sound known to mankind produced b...

I am still waiting for a (single stage) tube that can make full range Music via speakers. I mean, this is the real issue, isn't it? Sure a good tube will pass a "full range signal" through the right transformer; but where is the tube that will do t...

My favorite were the Classic Audio speakers. I know they have many faults, but the Fostex 500II tweeter was singing nicely. ...

I meant to say, tuner with self-powered speakers or receiver with "regular" speakers, supposing Sterling or similar near-field "monitors", but it might be anything comfortable and easy to deal with. Two "parts" plus some cables. You can't beat that...

Well, I may be one of the dummies here, but there are several things that could be viewed as "wrong" if sound was the primary goal:1) 95dB speakers and SET amps2) SET amps instead of DSET3) components assembled without a sonic goal - rather only comm...

In my current configuration I have 11-11-3 measuring from tweeters.
First number is the distance between speakers, second is listening distance and
the third is the distance from the shudder where the horn axis are pointing out. This is not a good

Yes, the main system often seems to require too much of an "investment" to make using it worthwhile, or even realistic.I confess I have let my mind wander in this direction:http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=a5+audioengine&tag=googhydr...

That may have been true in Walker's day but now we have the smallest speakers and the biggest women in Europe......

Thanks for these amazing stories. My own "profound" experiences with audio playback (where I was moved by the sound) have always been related to acoustics/room. Sometimes it all comes together, and equipment that have no right to sound much better th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A could years ago here and there begun to pop up small SS class “D” amplifiers made with high-end pretence. They all sounded like shit but by the efforts of a number of typically deaf and stupid or just simply whorish audio...

Yes there is a spatial aspect in the live performance that is lost in recording. The players are typically a bit farther apart from each other than the left right placement of the speakers. Also, the audience is farther back so the sounds blend but a...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

To me the big green drivers in the midbass horn look like old Siemens Klangfilm or Telefunken (or other German manufacturer) 10 inch units. Maybe 12 inch... I had a pair of 8 inch Klangfilm once and they do have interesting tone across a couple of oc...

Tim,I relay do not know what you are talking about. The commercially available products and DYI are juts the different ways to get speakers but the various methods of obtaining of AC is not where the problems come from. The problem is the most DYIers...
