[quote user="Paul S"]Lamm did choose to use some of the driving ideas from his proven SET amp…[/quote]Yes and no. ML3 design wise, as I understand is, in fact is not as interesting amp and it might be otherwise. Vladimir went for the target marke...

Well, I have to admit that I feel that those conversations about the “soul” of the vintage tubes bring conversation and actions absolutely to nowhere. Yes, I have to admit that there was a special magic riding a horse pulled wagon but we for ve...

OK, I split the thread: “Best of the HE2006!!!” there extracting the Cogent’s related posts into a separate thread….
[quote user="Paul S"] The big RCA field coil is the best thing about the Cogent system. It has great "promise", based on what ...

[quote user="jweiss"] When we spoke at CES, you mentioned that your experience with field coil drivers only extended to cone types. So I assume that you have never heard any field coil compression drivers. That would include the WE 555, 594, RCA 1428...

Well, I was thinking about that “Resonating Oops” for a while. I made quite a number of experiments. I some cases I was able to get interesting results but the “Resonating Oops” is very illusive. I do know that many readers of my site have wrong perc...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

Yes, Jonathan,
I have seen this resemblance with JBL in the shape of the back plate but it does not mean anything. The curved back magnetic path make a lot of sense, so he might adopt it from JBL. There is nothing wrong with it.
I do not k...

[quote]That is a bold waste of
speaker’s surface for a small result.[/quote]Yeah, but plywood is cheap and the result is audibly noticeable. Baffle extensions were recommended for all of the Altec VOT cabinets too. Make a big improvement for cheap ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H[/...

I have a guy visited me today who have high-voltage version of RCA 1428. I asked him to provide is feedback what in his view difference sonic between his 1428 and my S2 driver. Of course it might be large difference in the way how we use our drivers....

[quote user="Jorge"]Using the Fane 8M is interesting mainly if I get a better sound, Gravitas and size![/quote] Well, the “promised” the gravitas and size but it need to understood that it will not be coming from fane for from extra length of the ho...

[quote user="MINGSU"]Have you use GOTO dirver before? Have you try it with the "GOTO" recommendation? Have you listen to GOTO in your own system? If not, I suggest that you do it 1st and then draw your own opinons then. GOTO never said don't worr...

Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...

Rowuk, your association is spot on but there is catch in
here. The audio manufactures have no language or expertise to engage their user
with explanations of actual or presumed benefits that 6 figures system can do. If
you are some kind of let say...

Adrian, there's nothing wrong with owning a few cases of 2000 Pavie, as long as you consider it an investment. After the 2000 Primeur tasting in Bordeaux I bought everything I could; my fortunate position within those circles allowed me to obtain a f...

I think I wrote In the past here, if you like the 10” Tannoy, why not try the 12” or 15”? The ones with rubber surround are not so good in my view (from CPA or DMT series as they have very restricted midrange) but the cloth surround Tannoys are wort...

Jarek, don't worry about me spending too much time trying to figure out the Dannoys. For one thing, I've already spent several decades charting vintage and newer "special" drivers and sound. For another, I am already years into my own speaker project...

I've had rx5000 (with the ry5500 motor) for maybe 10-years now. Romy beat me to the comment that the person on audiogon that refers to these tables as tweeky and/or constantly in need of repair/missing parts has a clear agenda to sell something else!...

Whoever followed my bothersome experiments in search for a better diaphragm for Vitavox S2 driver knows that I lately spent quite a lot time trying to make the original metal suspension diaphragm to work. There are a LOT of advantages in those diaphr...

Hi,I'm new to "Romy the Cat's Home Page," was impressed when I read a thread comparison of the Lamm L1/L2 linestage, which prompted me to post here. While I'm not an electronic's wizard (gift is mechanical), audio has been part of my life, dating bac...

[quote user="cv"]I have a pal who has heard the 555 on the snail - says on some stuff (ie very simple music), it's astonishingly good, but that setup fell apart on complex material (or even tap dancing, if you're familiar with that story.[/quote] It ...

Well, I was there, which is more than The Cat can say. In fact, The Cat never heard a complete WE system first hand, so I'll have to take that into advisement when the expected foaming-at-the-whiskers rant.I always wonder why people would giv...

MSA, I'll grant that greed is the force behind much of modern "technology", and I agree that good drivers are few and far between these days. However, I am not as sure as you are that an old Hartley driver could properly charge Romy's house with mus...

I very slowly started to convert another amp to DHT. For now I listen just left channel and in a striped down mode: no tweeter and no Injection, letting the MF to care the whole upper range. It is interesting to play different tubes in this mode. Fra...

[quote user="drdna"]I had tried this before, a few years back, using parallel runs for interconnect and speaker cable of uninsulated and insulated wire of different metals. The end result was that the tonal result was very similar and basically the t...
