Wow, it is worth to live in Boston and have a day of miserable rain.
I really like what I was getting with CD and I have a few very interesting results coming that should be even more exiting, at least one of them is more defiantly is very exciting ...

This has been one hell of a ride! The new caps had gotten so bad yesterday and this morning that I was almost convinced (again...) that my cartridge was finally, really shot this time; what else could it be? The upper mids and lower treble had suck...

I am sorry I do not want to pollute the PP2000 thread with battery options.Right now I am in the process of testing a lot of different comercial amps to see what I will stay with, or which route I will be taking with my system in the near future for ...

Played around with beethoven 5th and guitar placement. I do not understand what to make of my experiment. I do not notice difference to upper bass but in the mass strings higher up, there are less holes in the sound if i may, more of a cluster of ins...

Adrian, was your PP1500 noise present ONLY in the phono section or across the sources/components? My tuner and digital work like a wonder, only phono picks the noise. I read your earlier description and my noise is not high pitched but rather upper b...

How Wilson sounds:Pressure caused by non-linear bass squeezed through narrow port holes.Shining caused by the papery upper mids of a too high crossed 6.5" midwoofer.Sparkle caused by the metal ringing of a titanium tweeter.What Wilson does:Use st...

Richard, I absolutely agree with you that dipole provides a masking affect from many problems but along with illumination of the badly reproduced bass dipoles inject into music a common denominator of… dipolenisness….. and this something that ...

Hi, George
First off all I have to mention that I use Max 282 as my “second” arm. I mean my best stereo cartridge I use with 3012 as I feel that it has more interesting lover bass and upper bass then 282. The 282 has slightly hollow and slightly bor...

Yes, I know it is not correct to make any generalizations and it all depends upon the acoustic environment, where the horn is being placed and the influence of the other channels, so my original question was in context of listening to the upperbass h...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

[quote user="pe1mmk"]Well Cat you can call me whatever you like, but you still did not answer my question. Both have a horn for highs, for mids and for lows, only the sub lows are handled differently. [/quote]
I do not think I called you with names...

user="anthony"] I have noticed that there are several commercial horn
offerings that push a wide bandwidth through a single horn (eg. Martion Einhorn
370Hz - 20kHz, BD Designs Orphean MKIII 270Hz - 22kHz) and I just wonder how
they do it i...

[quote user="oxric"] Firstly, the costs involved and the real chance that this project might not work make this project statistically a horrible waste of money, time and resources which could be better spent in pursuing other solutions which are ...

[quote user="skushino"] I think you are saying the effects of my room may be dominating any problems with the Edgarhorn bass, or at least I can't know since I don't have any objective data. Is this correct?
Maybe you're right. But here is wh...

Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

What I hate usually and in audio in particularly is the situation when a professional know that s/he is able to deliver a satisfactory resale and s/he subordinate and enslave everything to this believe. Pretend you are have a house with a single ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] Of all the manufacturers you could be poking fun at you've chosen two who actually care about what they make and sell. [/quote]
I do not think any manufacturers “do not care about what they make and sell”. They all do, or...

At this point I am absolutely confident the there is difference in Sound between the properly sounding PP2000 that I had before and the “new” version of PP2000. Let juts for sake of illustration I will call it PP2011. The PP2011 is better soundin...
|
Well, it unquestionably much better, still I am afraid that they are trying to spread one ass across two chairs; I will talk about it in the end. The change from what was before was around the frame and upperbass horn. It looks like the guys are tryi...

Michael,
I never head Single Power gears, or ever herd this company. I kind of have very specific type of sound that am wiling to get out the headphones. It is hard to describe but it should be very-very soft and moist but still with upper bass horn...

Ok, I found my RTA cable and did some very basic measurements of what Macondo does in the room. The results were in the direction that I anticipated but worth in amplitude. My right bass channel that that sited right next to the equipment bay has no ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I noticed that my turntables make a piece of nothing out of the third movement. The PC / DAC plays with vibrating deep bass and the whole room is creaking, while the turntables play very weak LF (but beautiful flutes).[/quote]Ron...
|
Well, the more I think about it then more I realized that I would like to try it. I’m contemplating to make 5-6 channels on single-stage Milq: 4 channels for each Macondo channel and 1-2 reserved for any perspective lower bass channel or for perspect...

Hey Romy... you could be right about the ALE's.. I certainly did like them, but when I went back to that familiar recording it was definitely shelved down low.. it would be easy to assume that I thought that they were "lightweight" because I had...

With that big horn covering such large frequency range I feel there would have a hole in the mid-range, or in the upper-bass. Not that I am supposing the information is not there, but it should not to be in there with reasonable "quality".I had not i...

I have no experience with bass horns, but I suppose that any sound source into a given size room can excite its modes, hence a big bass horn or a line array of boxed woofers can be equally annoying in that regard. So if the idea of using horns is to ...

[quote user="skushino"] Bottom exhaust.
Could keep it simple and fire straight down onto the floor. I think
there are benefits to adding a very robust floor platform beneath the mouth,
maybe with a reflector, similar to Bruce Edgar's Seismic Sub...

Yes, the crossover looks fancy :) More than that it does the job. The vacuum caps are only for the tweeter and the upper-mid beryllium. Still they are bridged with micas as they wont do much alone. Adding vacuum caps smoothens the transitions and sou...
