Well a DEQX will cost you less than a set of good caps! you can buy one and play around with it for a couple of months and see for yourself, you will have fun anyway and thats what tis all about! You will need and extra preamp and 3 different amps...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...

I would like to separate High End audio from normal consumption items due clearly that Audio is for repoducing music, which is an art form. High End watches or High end cars are for useless things like keeping time or moving yourself from one place ...

I thought you would be freezing with the big system enjoying great sound, and maybe solving the mistery of good electricity and freezing weather!Have a great time!...

I need to care just one octave at my 25Hz bump,I have tried the same solution in a big room, the thing is that we not only got output at 25 hz, but a lot also at 50 hz! There was no way surgically cut it to what we needed and the result was it messe...

Unluckily I have no experience with IB, would love to. Any way If you want it hidden and time aligned, the best bet is the uderground!Now having all that space there it would be a pity not to go IB.The IB idea can be much more elegant than the pic...

That is what I thought you were going for in the first place:You have the basement right under your listening room, and those wonderful Aura 18" woofers...You can place them sideways (very important) on some kind of vent that shoots into the room...

Noviygera, I guess I can do something about this if you want to contact me privately.jsadurni at ecovortec dot com...

Just how important are subharmonics and undertones in audio, and how they affect tone? I played around for a while with the Townshend supertweeters, this is a ribbon tweeter that you can barely listen to: you plug it in and put it next to your...

We should define some borders here; LF, when you have an UBH, should be from around 100 hz down to 30 hz, where the last fundamental tone of an instrument is played. ULF should be under 25-20hz.I would say that a driver playing 25-30 hz should...

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

I will be dubiuos about the slanted enclosure if not done properly, all drivers must be time aligned and since they are playing the same frequency, deficiencies in time alignment become more obvious. I made a slanted enclosure but with the drivers ...

I have a Fosell transport for some years now I upgraded from a CEC TL-1 which was miles behind...I use an EAD 7000 III DAC which I kept after having both the 9000 and the 7000, the mian difference between them is the preamp section of the 9000, so ...

Rackesh,Thanks for your comments!

I think we have been using the wrong analogy here, trying to compare sound to painting in the sense that it is not about adding things to sound as much as taking off.I believe the right analogy would be sculpting: In order to get a good sound, one ...
|
|
Sometimes it is not so much as adding color, but taking it away. Most cheap cone drivers will exhibit a loose sound, so if you want to get the cellos more clearly, you need to get some meat off the bones or they wil get lost in the mess.Having a th...

The best midrange comes from compression drivers, it has that minuteness, transparency and dynamics that no other topology can offer; the main problem with them is that they only cover a very specific mid frequency ran...
|
|
I guess you cannot say you listened to a horn system if you dont have an upper bass horn.The upper bass horn has to fill in the response from the compression driver down. At this delicate range nothing will perfectly macth it but another front horn. ...

|
I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

Nice video: Soft tones are easy, even for horns, the minuteness, the clear detail, the low distortion of horns playing softly is what kept me into them. Then Vengerov cries out: "Still this is more important", when music calls for character and pu...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...
|
|
Haralanov: I would love to try that amazing driver inside a horn! ...
|
|
Part of setting up a system is listening to both channels independently, they measure the same and sound the same, but individually with a lower volume and punch, and of course no stereo effect." the audio window should get larger and larger, unti...
|
|
Haralanov, I guess you mean to say disconnect the tweeter on one side of your playback? not the whole left side of the playback...When you use compression drivers it is very important to design the horn taking care of the high frequency response. ...
|
|
Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

It does sound like a shoping list, not my intention, I was mainly trying to address some points 3 mainly:1- You have stated before that the 2440 or 375 is a good sarting reference, so I wanted to keep that comparison point. thats why I went back t...
|
|
One more thing about the JBL 375, I did play around with them enough, I aligned the diaphragms several times untill they sounded their best and were very listenable, This was some time ago now, I didnt turn my horns then, so I tried them on the orig...
|
|
This is something I have been at for the last few years, I have tried a few drivers, at the moment some of my favorite are the vintage RCA MI 1443, yes filed coil and some funny cone diaphragm, they are used from 500 hz to 5 khz with a Fostex T...

Do get an RTA, it is amazing how different the frecuencies are from what we imagine, 50 hz is very low! 150 hz is a vital freq, and a lot of female voices have a very nice fullness at 150 hz. It is hard to tell without measuring what is happening ...
