Hi, I'll be very interested to see what you end up with. I really like my Shelter 901, but would like something which gives me a little more of the sound that i'm getting from my tuner. What do I mean by that, more realistic space/tone pe...

I love it!! Thanks Romy. What a beautiful instrument that guy had, it works with anything, casio, wurlitzer, who cares. In the Berlioz Requim, which I imagine is a fairly religious setting, I can picture pavarotti singing while rega...
|
|
Okay I have to confess that I am a Pavarotti fan, especially the overflowing, gushy puccini operas with the overflowing pavarotti. Along with the bach solo studies for cello, it's one of the reasons I started paying attention to my audio playba...

Hi Romy,Have you tried sending an e-mail to the manufacturer asking if he'll take a look at it and let you know what went wrong, and if it is reparable? I sent my 901 back after it was severly attacked by loose metal scraps in a metalshop( don'...

This sounds like a good guess too me. I remember romy uses from time to time a delay machine on his bass towers, but it had to be adjusted for each recording and was too much of a pain. Maybe he has found a way to integrate a wider range rear channel...

OK, my guess is it is another S2 which will be in horn working from around 10K and up, as you are not yet taking advantage of superior high end of S2s...R Weissman...

Hi Romy, I am a little behind the times as regards internet radio, etc.. Can I run some sort of cable to listen to these stations on my audio installation, or is it just for listening on the computer sound ?Thanks,R Weissman...

I have his ravel and debussy, amongst other treasures on LP. The debussy is a 5LP mono collection on EMI that is one of the few discs I keep at all times in my listening room (otherwise my LP collection is in another room as I share the lis...

Oh well sorry for the false lead, you are probably right that there was just something falty in my 300B but at least I found an amp that I really like.Since i have two outputs on my preamp(placette) maybe i'll look around for a cheap flea-power tube ...

Hi, yes i agree that my solid-state amplifiers were not best choice for compressio drivers, they were my second amps when electricity was bad, otherwise I use a custom made 300B from La maison de l'audiophile for my system when electricity is v...

Hi,Have peope heard any of the new generation hybrid amps out there? I have often such miserable power to my home that about half the time it was useless to listen to my SET tube system. I always had a back-up solid-state amp to use when I could...

Hi Romy,How do I stuff the SME headshell (or other headshells) with silicon? I am tech idiot and can't imagine how to keep the silicon from just running out of the headshell, is there a type of silicon that dries after application I guess? By the way...

Hi, His recording in 1973 for DG is maybe not a first choice but if you are into the sound of janowitz's voice then this is a pretty decent Passion selon Saint Matthieu. The rest of the other soloists are also first rate singers.R Weissman...

Yes that is the group, I have not heard anything else that they have done. I believe they are freelancers, which is why the players are all so good 8-) . If you can get a copy of Jos Vam Immerseel playing Beethoven's Bagatelles you ...

I don't know much about myaskovsky symphony, it looks like they go up to symphony No 27 but there are several missing (like the 2nd, 13, 18, 19, 21 23 if they exist ). It does say Complete Records. I can order and send if people want some help. It'll...

Hi, Anyone listening to the new release of beethoven cycles by Anima Eterna organised by Jos van Immerseel (ZigZag productions ZZT080402.6 distributed by Harmonia Mundi)?Really passionate small group. What is nice is overall balance and quality of mu...

Hi romy, mine are the 515-G drivers. I will be x-ing over at 600hz to Vitavox S2's (2nd order, yipes!). The S2s are in 320hz LeCleach horns. I was kind of hoping for just a general reply like when you guys look at a pictu...

Can I have some opinions on a potential mid-bass driver for my Altec 515s, as pictured in the attachement? What are the obvious or potential problems I should address?see attached photo: 120 Hz - @800 Hz.For the Altec 515 such a horn should be ...

Hi Romy, do you have any time to work on this thread? I have found someone to help me build, and am anxious to get going.Thanks,R Weissman...

Is it the new Tradition OPT for the MF channel, sorry I haven't had time to follow threads lately? If so I am curious as I need to order an OPT for my full-range melquiades project soon. (I found someone to build it for me finally!!!) .R W...

Hi jessie, thanks for tip. I will clean them myself, though I was planning on having the magnet recharged at same time, and I can't do that myself... The 3in1 oil idea is too scary for me, let me know how it works for you 8-) ...
|
|
As I am unable to find anyone to do this for me, I may have to try this myself. What I am worried about is the "months to analyze the mistakes and prospective areas of improvement" part... I don't think I am capable of doing that. I can order t...
|
|
Thanks Romy,There's a shop in south of france that can clean and recharge the S2s, and he'll do some testing of the drivers at same time. I hope that solves it.R Weissman...

HI Romy, thanks for the thoughtful reply. The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete...

define what do you mean “HF is not as clear as I would like”? The HF sound is very quick and weighty , which can be quite nice on classical guitar for examlpe, but the tone is not clear enough, meaning for example cymbal at...

Hi Romy,Got my new Le Cleach tractrix horns (320hz) for the Vitavox S2's. I'm x-ing over at 600hz with 2nd order 12db/Octave which I know is barbaric for you but it is all I have for the moment. With the new horns the S2s are puttin...

Hi romy, thanks for info. I am going to stick with the 2-stage plan then as it will not be DSET but full range and my mid-bass is somewhat barbaric at this point. I have found someone to build for me, though we have not discussed fees yet. ...
|

Well romy will probably disagree or maybe find it off topic but I am sorry there is huge margins built in somewhere if someone is trying to sell me wood cabinets with TAD drivers for 140k $. One of you guys can add it up for me and tell m...
