[quote user="Richard"]What I was referring to is "serious" as opposed to more straightforward material. Maybe the music I listen to and the way I listen is more directly emotional and less intellectual. This is actually a whole different topic, ...
|
|
[quote user="slowmotion"]I think I see where you are going , Richard, with me it's the other way round. If I connect with the music I get exited, and for me personally I work towards a system that connects me to the music and the performers more. All...

Tuga, clarity is certainly an important prerequisite for true dynamics, where "dynamics" is the musically meaningful idea of differences as applied not only to SPL but also to "rate", such as the space/contrast/interval between a 1/8 note and a 1/16 ...

Your comments are quite funny and contrary to the facts. Romy can hear, as I can too, the difference between solid state amplification and tube amplification because his system is properly setup and can resolve all the nuances. The slightest com...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

And as one of the other perpetrators...The nature of this kind of thing is compromise. The owner of the bass horn system wanted to run them together, for the enlarged horn mouth, and so we did - there was never going to be enough time to play about ...

Hi Jan - I contacted the bearing manufacturer you linked me to. Here's their response:Thank you for your email. Sorry, I do not have the cross reference information for the bearing size your turntable requires. Please let me know if you can provid...

Not to go overboard after only 2 days of operation, but the Bent TAP (transformer-attenuator [passive] pre-amp) is a pip in my system. It is as "neutral" as anything I am familiar with, compared to by-pass (with CD). I love havi...

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 ...

Funny video from Acoustical systems and Wilson Benesch Turntable systems, lots of marketing hype in their presentation and finally the sound is dead crap.Wilson Benesch Marketing hype: "the future is carbon" finally you hear Crap tone from plastic co...

To me, audio neutrality is a very difficult idea to express. Fundamentally, all audio recording and reproduction is a terribly compromised and flawed system. An analogy might be to record the sound of children laughing and playing, splash...

Dear Romy Chapter 1 in the audio cyclopedia, you should read it because you are the won who lacks experiance when it come to building a sound system. #1 from were you listen to system from you should be able to look down the thr...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

Though he seems to like running several TTs in parallel, I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "Syst...

Dear N-set,I do not set out to copy Romy's speaker installation for a number of reasons, foremost among which is that I have not heard it. I'm sure that it sounds excellent in his room and with his ancillaries, but since mine are/will be different, I...

After finishing my left 6-chennal Melquiades and putting amps and Macondo back as it was intended to be I was expecting that it should be “better” but I did not expect HOW MUCH better it might be. Many aspects of sound are more interesting now,...

[quote user="RF at Ona"]Romy and friends,Reading about the sensitivity of your system to electrical power supply problems reminds me of the days when I used to make my own equipment as much for the learning experience as for the final result.One of t...

That was the 4 way system designed by John Sheerin using GOTO drivers on my request. The tweeter is GOTO 160 with S3000 horn xover at 5kHz. The high mid is GOTO SG370DX with S600 horn xover at 1kHz-5kHz. The low mid is GOTO 505TT with S150 hor...

Those things are made to impress enough to buy whatever the maker of CD is selling. I'm glad you posted that review on DIY-audio although out of respect for the host it would be nice if you had posted it here first and out of politeness asked if you...

[quote user="Merlin"] I took the 98db/w from the tweeter which will not be higher sensitivity in that implementation. If the other units are higher than that, then yes it is a moronic system![/quote]
There is nothing moronic in that playback in the ...

Personally, if I wanted to get a 2nd system, I wouldn't want a less good version of the main system. If they both share an approach to audio, you'll always hear the 3- or 4-ness when you are used to the same thing in 10. I'd try to be as different as...
|

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I guess your definition of “doing something different” would imply reading of 534 pages of BS from people who have no idea about Sound about advantages of LA-horn over tractrix… [/quote]Touché! Now you are referring to my ...

Romy I have not herd so much doulble talk in a long time. Some of the best sounding drivers on the market in the last 60 years, were for sound reinforcement. I do believe, in a 2 way speaker system crossed over at 800hz with a good wood horn i wil...

N-set, you have actually struck upon one of the difficulties of not being the designer and builder per se, only an actively interested commissioner of a bespoke system from a third party. I foresee logistical difficulties in building the system in a ...

Hello rowukI am very curious whether u have ever listened our system, or had ever seen our system.I believe u didn't study my system well, so I don't know why u knew our system would have extreme room for improvement.I am curious whether u know many ...

I also use the Well Tempered Arm, but do not have the patience nor the urge to constantly fuss with the VTA setting. I set it for an average record and leave it alone. For me any degradation of sound quality is not so great and I just try...

Glad to hear you have found a satisfying point so that you can listen to your system.Certainly the low bass is not as critical to your being able to enjoy the system, although no question there is much to be gained from that being optimized.Trying to...
