Let me understand what is the problem. You say that a copied disk to Masterlink
HD sounds OK, right? So, why do you believe that CD-R is capable to store and
reproduce music at the level of original CD or Masterlink HD? Do you have at

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

I recognized that I have tired for the last week like hell. Do not ask me what I got tired from – I will not be able to say. That whole moving, packing, unpacking this was too exhausting… The good thing is that I go an interesting room as a resul...

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 ...

James,
I never tried or heard about DML or BMR type drivers. I
looked them up and a few things they do give me a cold shoulder. It is
not about a selection of driver type or the topology of front channels. I though
initially that it was impo...

I was sit today to do the calibration of my infinite baffle.
I connected my 20Hz 4th order tube crossover with frond-end modified
Yamaha B-2. The RTA did show a very easy gain exactly where should be, the
transition slope doe the magic. I rolled ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, I wonder what kind option I have. I think the most proper would be to reengage the Macondo's Axioms and to see how the bass channel might be modified in order to work alone with 63Hz mode but not against it. [/quot...

I am not a person who understands a lot about tuners. I understand a lot about sound and in the tuner world I am just a user of the things. If I need comprehension of the things I ask questions, I have very limited ability to extrapolate the sound of...

Inspired in part by Romy's results and excitement with FM, I wanted to try.
Restricted by apartment living, I had difficulties achieving a quiet stereo signal.
I was also concerned about the a/d conversion for d...

I had this "volume" issue with the dozen or so solid state amplifiers I tried in my bedroom system. There was a big jump in volume from click zero to click one. From click 10 to click max there was not much of an increment in volume. Overall, vol...

Rakesh, I moved your post to this thread as I feel it is more relevant here, I hope you do not mind. You ask yours the very same question that I ask myself. I do not have definitive answers to them:

Mani,
I would leave the subject of DSET/horn setup for another thread and would drop a few words about Zu Druids. They are not the speakers that I would ordinary comment but since I have a local guy with Zu Druids and I had a chance to hear th...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to ac...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound
itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However,
from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result
is not enough for me. I would ...

Made first sounds with my Dannoy incarnation. Hard to comment on it now as my setup turns out to have some problems:
1. I haven't bypassed the B2's input circuits yet. And they do kill the sound - one slight move of one of the p...

I meat with a local gentleman who runs North Reading Engineering.
He turned out to be quite intelligent

Romy,
I have also noticed a difference in the response of my Altec 416A's with various amplifiers. My best rated amplifier the Bryston B60 was the worst and I could not listen to the speakers. I have been using a ch...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last night I did an interesting experiment. I took the bass towers,
just 4 driver per side, crossed them at 90Hz, line-level and drove them not

I keep thinking about my new idea of more than 2 channels
and room acoustic reinforcement but in natural and organic way, without using DSP.
I have invited my friend who did it from
last week to collaborate the idea and to bound some of my concep...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

I have always thought my old Altec 802's with the concentric ring phase
