It look like the project progress well. I have a little concern
about heat the will be building up in your PS enclosure. I do not know what

Agree, it is very good. For the vibration isolation, I would
worry only about the driver tubes. If you have some money to waste then you might

[quote user="Chirag"] It seems the 6e5p is driving the transformer directly. I've used various versions of even simple mosfet followers to good effect at the headphone level, but never considered using a speaker level transformer. Did you and D...

[quote user="Lx_"]The effects on sound can be described either globally or in details. Globally the music flows less, the sense of musical phrasing is diminished, sound tends to tighten, feel constricted, dynamics are also reduced. When trying to...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete horns are going thro...

[quote user="steverino"] Unlike other online units
the AG1500 is extremely quiet making it suitable for where high quality power

Jessie-Good to hear from you. I am very motivated following your progress. Thanks for the inspiration.My room size is around 15' x 18' x 8'. At this point, I feel that a proper 60 - 70hz midbass horn is physically the largest I am realistically pr...

After expending the better part of the day sorting through the record bins at thrift stores I came home with some finds (for me). Milstein playing Mendelssohn’s e minor on Columbia’s first LP, ML4001, and the Golden Jubilee concert ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Actually it is not about the “3D quality of silent passages” but about the silence being the PROPER continuation of the non-silent passages. I think I have cracked this one and thinking about it more I believe I have an ans...

Here are some quotes from AA that I found interesting:
Rubber transmits vibration poorly, that's why it's used. Unfortunately this also means that it creates speed variation, mostly due to belt creep (NB I do NOT mean belt slip).
The motor is ...

That is funny but I received a few emails from audio people suggesting that I am a nut because at I suddenly expressed queasily in a monitor loudspeaker. Ironically only one of them uses some-type horn loading loudspeakers and the rest use large floo...

John, I disagree.
No one deny the importance of harmonics and you are right saying that “If a speaker does not reproduce the harmonics correctly, then the tone is not reproduced correctly.” However you are talking about a complete speaker, not...

After many hours and much efforts I have connected the new 6-channels Super Milq to my 6-channels Macondo, with omission of tweeters for now. I made some measurements and initial adjustments and then was trying to listen it briefly. I did not l...

Ah, you use those gorgeous VPI boxes to host transformers. No wonder it does not sound well, what did you see the anything from VPI sound well? Seriously, I do have those VPI boxes, I do not remember where they come from to me but they are too go...

[quote user="Axel"] is what I have called it, and what I hear you are describing? I wonder for how long you will be OK with it. [/quote]
