Sorry to keep returning like this. Thought I;d mention a tweet that unexpectedly impressed me favourably -- the Murata ESTD01 (these are their "serious" tweets -- not the "audiophile" tweets). Nice. Directly connected, enters strong at ~14kHz, by its...
|

and having run through this discussion it seems to me that most tweets are crap -- in that they're stand alone, not easily mated with other quality drivers: the moment you end up with a higher sensitivity, good performance (or better) MF, you're doom...

...say like a Supravox at around 99dB: http://www.supravox.fr/mesures/mestg11.htm for some measurements and http://www.supravox.fr/haut_parleurs/tg1.htm for data. They rate it for 98dB but when I heard it, it measured a bit more at over 11k...

By looking at it this looks like a magnetostatic (isodynamic?) design rather than a ribbon. There's a Danish guy who has done good research on the subject: http://www.soundimage.dk/Different-col/Magneto.htm (you can click on "ribbon" for more in...

I think the sorry state of the music industry (s/ware, sound) is primarily due to:a) the trend toward audioVISUAL and the ensuing market for productsb) how people listen to musicA) I believe this is self-explanatory; the bulk of the market invests in...

This would involve some researching... thus introduing (possibly unecessary) complexity: look for a Sony or Yamaha or Sansui "power j-fet" amp. These were produced s/where in the mid '70s and should be very cheap now. I have listened to a Yamaha...

In fact, a battle of ego which leads nowhere rather than an educational exchange of views which leads somewhaere. Very often a comment engenders an emotional reaction -- rather than a (rational) discussion.The latter (discussion) could result in a us...

“Better Audio” is an active filter that incentives a listener with his/her listening experience producing “better music” (more content-loaded) in a more “consumable way” and the worst music in a less attractive wa...

Well, Gregm, obviously you should not take me too literally when I mention the “fallen Chinese satellites”, I slightly dramatized what was sod to me, making it more absurd, but did I?

But I wouldn't rule out playing rock on a system that offer fidelity to the music in classical repertory. However, back to the reproduction "system".The expression Romy used of "musical content" is interesting. I use the expression musical ...

"ASR do not use the regular ICs but the ICs that they removed form the demilitarized Russian nuclear missiles console and fallen Chinese satellites" :) ...which means that they use cheap, used ICs. So, the dealer has a better margin & can di...

rather than quote part of what Mr Tommassini (no doubt an excellent man) wrote in a journal, it would be interesting to have your personal take on the matter (of "reality" as it were)...Is it that the pianist in Ms Rice, being now a Minister, will be...
