Tom Danley, the owner of DanleySoundLabs is an interesting not BS-type of guy. I would not be surprised if his middle-like speakers sound more interesting then majority if high-end audio speakers. It not necessary says that his Danley’s speakers grea...

I hate it when people poke at speakers with their fingers....

It is sad to read about David Wilson's passing at 73 years of age. He should serve as a model for audio marketing, if not product development. One thing we never heard about was poor QC from Wilson, because this was not a problem for them, or they ...

Don't worry, Romy, I can hear, and I've been at this for some time, so it is already abundantly clear that the ML2s would do/be that much better with true HE speakers (yes, the right horns). And when I say this you know that I kn...

No surprise, the biggest problem when shopping for "suitable" amps is getting a bead on the sound using systems featuring the truly BAD "high end" speakers and ancilliaries. Still, I actually found something that might be acceptable; but units are c...

[quote user="Chirag"]this is interesting...i'll keep an eye out for accidental successes.[/quote] There was a guy somewhere in the upstate NY, near the catograping Farmer. He has been saleing for a few years a pair of Tanoy GRF Lancasters or somethin...

Well yesterday this miserable Catographer was cleaning out his garage when he made a instructive discovery in the beer refridgerator out there. I vaguely remember un plugging it in April during a suspect electrical project, but what I ...

Vp = 240v, Vg = -90v, Ip = 165 ma, RL=1k5, 10W, H2 = 6.9%, H3=1%, H4=0.2% I used it with cathode bias (used 50w resitor, backed by 10x200uF capacitor). How it sounded - warm and punchy. I had an amp with F-3 about ...

Amir, I told of my own approach to wall power in other threads. Basically, I tried to make my gear as tolerant of AC variations as I could without simply smoothing everything over. My DAC runs on battery power. I modified the power supply and changed...

Quite a few people send me emails asking about my techniques to trace the DPoLS
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=994#994
Sure the DPoLS are practically not known techniques and it is great to “handle” it but there is somethi...
|
|
Maybe I don't know what DPOLS is, as suggested by others in this forum. All I know is that I can spend a lot of time fiddling with the exact location of the speakers, the sepcific 3 dimensional alignment of the two sets of drivers, and there is...

Romy,It's not actually me who's trying to accomplish anything. I've just been commenting on Shelley Katz's 'Layered Sound' technique. I have no connection with his company although I have met him and discussed the system with him. I...

[quote user="Paul S"]Anthony, this is a very smart installation, IMO, because you have not "over-committed" to areas where you have work left to do, and areas you have committed to are flexible enough to allow adjustments you will likely need to do. ...

Ok, I said a mistake, I like direct radiator (sealed speakers) too, but I often noticed more dynamic with horn speakers (I like every speakers (if properly tunned) except speakers that radiate with both sight of the drivers (bass-reflex, tapped horn,...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

I read the review of the Magico Ultimate and I have to say I was disgusted. I am sure there are many self-proclaimed audiophiles who took the TAS trembling into their bathrooms like teenage boys with the newest issue of Playboy to drool over th...

I put my speakers (downward firing ports) on wooden boards which can slide easily over carpets.Not only did this improve the sound from my speakers (which was my original intent) but it also made it much easier for me to try different positions. I in...

Headphones shall not take to different direction. In fact it shall not be a lot of changes in sound when your take your headphones off and begin to listen your speakers. Speakers shall be MUCH more advised in imaging and spaceial department but good ...

msaudio, again, moving the speakers across the room of cause changes the “floor support” but there are way too different influences to sound while speakers moves then the floor’s influence. In fact at this point I absolutely discard floor contributio...

ML2 is also making me hear my modified AI M3A pre-amp, not to mention I guess I could now benefit from all shielded cables. All this stuff was fine with the Wright 2A3s. Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond...

I went to THE Show again this year, along with a couple of audio friends. This year I was better prepared, with preconceived notions about what I wanted to see/hear, and where to find that gear. I did not try to “cover” the show, at all. I just wa...

Hey, Duke
I do not know what your post means. Also I frequently do not understand what Earl Gedde says. I know that he suggests that his Waveguide theory and his loudspeakers built around this theory are interesting. But from another side he hangs a...
