What you describe as "haze" in highs, happened to e when I added some shades in the front wall of my system, took it away and it was gone, I think highs were being disperesed too much, but I am just theorizing. My system is VERY sensitive to anyth...

I like a lot how the room is looking, the plants in the center look great and sort of hide Melquiades very well. I am sure the acoustic properties of the plant will make up for the wall to wall carpet no problem. Actually I had trouble finding...

Disregarding my inital thoughts about the carpet issue, you could always tuck more rug under the couch!

it comes at the price of listening at Defense Mode. This mode is characterized by restricting and even shrinking down the boundaries of human consciousness, thus reducing the ability of the brain to get the message of the music being played. When h...

Hello Mani,I am using a 10KW balanced transformer on my system with dedicated earth just as you are, I use two 110V power lines to enter making it 220 volts on the primary and get 110 volts on the secondary with the earth. I have a rod in the garden...

First of all congratulations, I am very happy for you and Amy! I think hard wood floors is a good idea, acoustically you will find a way to deal with sound.If you put the Melqualdes in the basement you can put a smoke detector very close and maybe ...

As far as I know Bluthner used a third "string" on top of certain notes to make a better sound, I have only listened to an uprgiht Bluthner though. Bechstein was really nice too, my sister has a big upright Bechstein, she even did some fixing on it ...

Well the thing about horns and wide band is that for them to go lower the horns needs to be longer, if the horn is longer the highs get lost inside it. The most famous and longer range horn is the WE 15A, but even that one doesnt do magic, some clai...

I have an Upright piano in my listening room, it has been there since day one, so I dont know how different my room would sound wihtout it... Maybe I will haul the piano out one day just to test it: nah...A bunch of years back we were testing two a...

Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, maybe you will think t...
|

Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are Romys own learning ex...

I think ML amps have an input capacitor put there to isolate from the other components, I have a close friend who has multiamped for a long time with ML 20.6 monos, he had once 6 monos on his system, he now uses only one pair with the input cap red...

I have a buch of audio friends and we get toghether weekly, we usually lounge around and share the sweetspot eventually, but when more than one wants the sweet spot putting a chair behind the sweetspot works very well, even 3 or 4 chairs lined ...
|
|
I personally like the idea of an audio room like a very dedicated room, Monoplatz with only the sweetspot seat. If I have to climb through an elevator or slide into a cockpit it is fine as long as the machine runs fast!For me it is like submerging m...

|
I used to have a few musician friends and played a little myself, but they were never really interested in audio, they did have a system but no intention to sit in the sweetspot or anything of the sort, we used to go to concerts and they would carry...

I spoke on the phone with the manufacturer and he assures me the new production is exactly similar to the old drivers, the machines and people making them are the same.About the diaphragms, the last batches of the old drivers already had the diaphrag...

Are the prices per pair o for each unit?...
|
|
Well maybe the rich Korean fellow just wants to advance the knowledge of audio as he knows it, by droping a bunch of cash at it, which never hurts!They claim that Silabtone will sound like WE...pf I read somehwere that they use Amorphous cores and s...

I think it might be your cable elevators that are the problem, I am sure Romy can give us a good recomendation of which cable elevators we can buy to get a better sound! ;-)

Hello Macman,Nice horns, I like that you finished everything properly! I am getting tired of seeing piles of horns.I think the ringing you are getting from your midbass horn is that the throat reactance is not balanced. How did you calculate the ba...

The room is beautiful, and I love the tree stump "rack" with the amps, it is clearly a work in progress, but they already put in the "Western Electric" badges on! It talks a lot about their priorities I guess!They have what seems to be a midrange ...

I just don´t see Romy running around trying to satisfy a customer and his wife with the color selection of the carpet! I am sure you will be great at whatever you set your mind to, but try to stay on your comfort zone.Lets say you decide to make...

We have tested live recordings against live sound, a recording of a jazz singer was done on Reel tape on an Ampex ATR modded machine with Fluxmagnetics heads etc. The microphone used was the legendary Telefunken stereo tube mic. no post producti...

If you are happy and enjoy the sound, that is all that matters!Do you have pics of your system?What drivers are you using? JBL 2441? Tweeters?What version of UBH do you have?I have a very close friend with a wonderful Edgarhorn system, I understand t...

Stephano Two good ears has put a post on his site about his new 4 way passive xover.I think this is a better direction than the digital xo. The designer, Thomas, designed also the preamp and I guess he has taken into consideration the input and ...

A long time ago, when EAD dsp 9000 pro came out, Wadia had a DAC with volume control I dont remeber the number right now but -i think it was the 2000 anyway, the big deal about the EAD 9000 was that the integrated volume control was only 6db in the ...

Seems they never heard of the principle behind an I beam.But wait, it is carbon fibre, I guess all is well then......

My most humble apologies to DEQX and its users, what we tested was the Behringer DCX unit, my mistake.I never used a DEQX and have no current opinion on its performance....
|
|
First and most important is time aligning the drivers, this will help a lot.When you are finally done, realign again... ijijiijii I would think you already have everything perfectly simmetrical to your listening position etc.Toe in and all of that. p...
