http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/244071035?ltl=1173271401[/quote]Thats terrible...actually, I was under the impression thats what my parents used...in fact, for the ad...

you mean you don't get this on your regular tv programming? my goodness...my family in long island with their little digital satellite dish has 2, sometimes 3 versions of classic arts offerings. it doesnt end when i'm at home!fe...

Hi Cat,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I used my typical “flash” techniques and discovered some leeks in that 50 years old enclosure. Sure it the leaks were there then it would be no “acoustic suspensions” and the driver would run further. So, fixed the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
May ask you: how you drive your Reds 10” and the most important do you feel any their deficiency in power handling. I mean after the 109dB Macondo I have tendency to drive the small Reds slightly hard and this LF drive do...
|
Hello again kitty...Analogous to the lack of perfect "audiomoron" transparency of something like an L1 or tannoys or koetsus, I can see the general direction of your thinking regarding the "oops" nature of developing a musical transducer in room.The ...

Hey Cat...long time no claw,Wrong? My dog, if I can list my musical machine mistakes...The original boxes I got with my 10" and 15" reds were respectively the little IIILZ sealed and big ported boxes. The IIILZ box with the little reds wa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Not kidding?! :-)Yes, I always felt that Tannoy the vintage 10" sealed box were the best Tannoy out there. Still they were the best not because they were best but because the 10” had less bass extension and did not go into ...
|
Hi Cat,The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. This kind of crosses over into some driver discussions so bear with me...My Tannoy 10" ...
|
Hey Cat,Well..my first question would be regarding the application. The big Melq tube is already doing the bass towers...is it not enough current? And wouldn't a proper class A 100w amp with its low low efficiency require something like 1...
|
Hi Cat[quote user="Romy the Cat"] However, here is where the trick begins. Putting the headphones on, playing them along with the big loudspeakers system and adjusting the volume of the “big system” (primary the LF channel) it is possible to take the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hey, Chirag, long time no see. [/quote]Hi Kitty,I always try to see whats going on on this site, but by the end of the day I'm usually too bloody tired to think clearly enough to write something of interest. This week...
|
Hi Cat,It seems the 6e5p is driving the transformer directly. I've used various versions of even simple mosfet followers to good effect at the headphone level, but never considered using a speaker level transformer. Did you and Dmitry cons...
|
Hi Romy,Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under some Oris horns ...
|
Hi Alex,Short of waving goodbye to the Bidat for a few months, you could always TRY the splitter idea from your favorite cable guy. It may be acceptable enough for your needs.Did you mean there is no space on the back of your passive/relay base...
|
Hi Cat,I got some Kalman CD's after your post and the clip. Die Csardasfurstin IS good! One of the cd's was a historical compilation from Naxos - "viennese operetta gems." It had work from this guy Franz Lehar. ...
|
Hi Romy,Bidat IS quite a bit better than any dac i've used in that upper range (or any where else), but there is a bit of hardness there that I have problems killing off in my system. Its not possibly enough to motivate me to do actively do som...
|
Hey Alex,Aside from the obvious swapping of cables, do you have any extra outputs in your preamp? Don't try any sort of splitting device...I did it once with very cheap cables and couldn't listen for more than 30 seconds. You could always...
|
Alex,I tend to aim for Q's around 0.5-0.6 for my sealed boxes, but thats only because I prefer my listening in smaller nearfield rooms. If you have a much larger room, you *might* be able to get away with something closer to 1.the 18W works fin...
|
I have no idea what the SD-1 motor is, but i know my woofers have it and they give me decent results. if only SS would make a high efficiency woofer with softer paper cones and double the SD magnet....Hey, what kind of crossovering is the ...
|
Hi Kitty,This combo is quite interesting and amazingly coincidental....I had scan speak 18W's sitting around from my old speakers and just recently had them put in sealed boxes. I was using a Seas silk dome on top (in free a...

Dear Kitty,[The positions of the instruments are an arteffect of sound reproduction and in real "live" you do not recognize the instruments positioning. You acknowledge thier presents “somewhere there” but you never recognize it as “right” ...

Patty Barber experience was in the Kitty's lair! Yep, I was a PB virgin until that very moment :-)...
|
Hi guys, these do seem quite interesting, but much of the written hoopla i've seen is coming from some of the less interesting characters on another BBS. from a fairly capable system i heard last week, the S&B's set for maximum gain&nbs...
|
Hi Guy, HAHAHA! yeah, I can see how you can say its similar to burnishing fecal matter. i still think its overly pleasant slow sound (which is still ok through my headphone setup and denon 103) can be improved upon with major sup...
|
Hi Guy, I know what you mean; this phono stage really should not work well at all. I mean, voltage doubler, 3 stages of 12ax7, feedback, cathode followers, garbage looking power supply shared tubes for stereo...mortifying isn't it! These ...
|
Hi All, 103 or 103R + mass loaded SME headshell + 3012 or a 3009 + Seiki 1500 + hagerman opamp phono stage (good only with select parts and battery power) or an EAR 834 (with some mods) and some old Altec mic t...
|
Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...
|
[quote user="slowmotion"]I think I see where you are going , Richard, with me it's the other way round. If I connect with the music I get exited, and for me personally I work towards a system that connects me to the music and the performers more. All...
|
Cat! i just joined that board like two days ago looking for altec info and found their bass allergic to cat dander as well... unfortunately, this sort of group blowjob mentality really exists in all forms of hobby/interest/lifestyle....my g...

farmeroni! hope the plants are doing went well this season... [I have recently had 4 sealed bass bins made each with 2 8" scanspeak drivers. I dont have them yet. Every other speaker I have stinks worse than the Fridge. Good Luck!] 4 seale...
