Hi, anyone sending their internet connection around the house via the electrical cables (CPL in french)? It would make my life a lot easier if I could do that but was wondering if it would have an impact on the hi-fi sound. I can't really try before...
|
|
yes the nutcracker, I should have put that on my x-mas list as I only have two versions : markevitch philharmonia and rozhdestvensky highlights with bolshoi. I'll order the mravinsky if I can find it on GEMM.R Weissman...

Wish list;A mid-bass horn for my Altec 515-8G drivers operating from 100-600hz (it seems only Santa can make this for me)a new CD-player as my STuder A730 is kapputa collection of bruckner LPs (i don't have any!)a new listening chair to replace my IK...

If anyone knows of a competent technicien please? I know lot's of small DIY shops but they would charge me several hundred euros to explain to me that they don't understand what I am saying.R Weissman...

Strange but I have found that my reception is significantly better if I don't use any connector between my antenna cable(radio shack RG whatever going up to rooftoop antenna) and my tuner but instead just strip off a bit of wire at the end of the cab...

he has a fairly small record collection for all that equipment, though maybe that's just a part of his collection. My dad lives in arizona I wonder if this guy let's people stop by for a listen? I'll bring him some more records 8-) .R weissman...

Romy, would you say that placette is especially sensitive to electricity to function at it's best(sensitive in relation to other equipment I mean)? My unit is 110v and I am in 220v world, so I am using a step-down transformer on the unit. I have had...

Well I think she is nordic, so maybe Sibelius is for her, and I agree about all the young performers with the tremendous technique...however she also has a beautiful tone with absolutely no fear in her playing. I find parts of her beethoven violin co...

Would suggest you violin fans attend a concert by this woman if you get a chance. http://www.janinejansen.com/Just released CD on Decca, Enjoy.R Weissman...

The Reference, then the Reference Signature, then comes the Ultimate Reference, then the whole thing sucks and you start again with a new, completely different Reference...That is of course just complaining about the business, not the actual speakers...
|
|
Hi Romy,I was wondering if you put in any other preamps while your placette was away for mods? I decided to take mine out of my system temporarily (just to mimic you 8-) ), and put back in an old custom made tube preamp. Well it is very interesting...

Hi romy,Have you had a look at the website recently (site address above in marco's mail), they have very detailed discussion of midbass horn with photos of phase-plug etc. unfortunately it may be only in french ...R Weissman...
|
|
HI Markus,Thanks for your interest but it is off-topic in this thread, and of no real interest. My system, other than Marco's 320hz horns with Vitavox S2s, is completely commercial and mostly just slapped together. Regards,R Weissman...
|
|
Hello Marco,Nice to see you posting at romy's site. I would very much like to come listen to your speakers when you are ready for auditions. I am very happy with my 320hz Musique concrete horns, and am still sorry you didn't have the time to build ...
|
|
Hi, can you tell me(us) how much you pay'd for the mid-bass horn please? I may try this myself as I have been waiting six years now for a 15" midbass horn plan that is suitable with no luck ...thanksr weissmanps. Oh sorry I just found the price pa...

Please don''t waste your time trying to correct the thing, I'm waiting with all my toes tapping for the 45hz 15¨horn projectR Weissman...

Hi Romy, I had a background system for a while using either Kef 103.2 or tannoy gold 15¨ and McIntosh MC2205. I don't know anything about the other McIntosh gear but this particular amp had a reputation amongst french vintage nuts. My old Threshold...

Hi,Thanks for pictures, that looks interesting. You are using one driver per side for your system it looks like?R Weissman ...

thanks romy, that's just what i needed on a monday morning. R weissman ( a tennis playing jew)...

Hi Romy,Did you ever buy this? I purchased on amazon.UK for 12€ (!) including shipping in case you are interested.I hope the pressings are decent.R Weissman...

Hi Romy,I have no experience with Pass labs, but have been looking at his old Aleph 3 for some time with interest. Do you know this amp? I believe it is 50W class A and around 800$ typically on audiogon? If you want to spend a lot more my Tom E...

Hi Jessie, Thanks for reply. I am Mac based and am looking at the following idea for sending music from my computer to my audio system. The guy that builds it says that the sound is much better than he gets out of CD-playback, who knows. ...
|
|
Hi Romy,Yes there was a reason. I typically used four arms on the table, the fourth being a shorter Ortofon rmg-212. The problems with the arrangements of two shorter arms with the two longer arms with the cable exit on bottom of the micro arm (which...

With SME 3012 (Shelter 901), Ortofon RMG 309 (Orotofon S15-T) and Micro 237 (french mono cartridge early 50's, unbeatable)...I couldn't really get the sound I wanted out of the TT until I put it on the SR stands, I envy your vibraplane but trying shi...

Hi Romy,
I have recently sent out my S2s for major cleaning/recharging job.
Pictures should be on the internet soon and I will post link if anyone
is interested. In the meantime I am listening to a typical
2-way in sealed encl...

Hi, I did something like this but the ring that the S2 screws into is bolted directly onto the horn. I can easily change this, is there a reason to have the space?R Weissman...
|

Hi Jessie :I'm sorry if this is not the subject of this thread as I have a bit of a problem following computer/digital discussions, but since you read french, there is a fellow in france selling a device to send audio signals from iTunes to audio sys...

Hi, if it's like mine you have to pull up very hard and it slides off. spray some lubricant in there maybe at first?R weissman...

Hi, any photos or progress reports on your 60hz horn. If you wouldn't mind exchanging an e-mail or two I could use some help with design of rectangular horn for my Altec 515s??Thanks,R Weissmanronyweissman@hotmail.comLyon, France...

That was very interesting romy. The SPU sound for me was always "woody", which isn't far from brown I guess, and ¨noble¨strikes me as well in the description (it really hits its stride on chamber orchestra or vocal recital for me). Shelter colo...
