Here is a little update on my DIY suspended rack.The top TT table is made and preliminary tested for lekages.This is basically a 1,4m x 0,7m DIY Vibraplane clone. The steel profile is now filled with perlite. I feel it damps worse than sand+steel sho...

Hi Romy,
Looks like the Cat's been busy. Maybe now is the time to explain why you hate DIY so much, as this is obviously all DIY.
Best,

Hello , Ive just came across this site , Im an audiophile from Chile . So I decided to join and learn from here . Sorry if my future posts doesnt make sense 100% , it will be because English is not my first language, so youre warned . :-)My last audi...

It really is a shame that there is no market for really good-sounding drivers. Although I hope to have a useable one-off up and running before I die, it is the drizzling shits having to invent and build even my own templates and jigs in order to try...

Well, I think that you should first read about Romys Macondo speakers. There are several threads with his thoughts that should help you get away from the DIY approach that did not give you the results that you expected. You have experienced first han...

[quote user="hagtech"]Perhaps the book falls under the "theory of irrelativity". I thought maybe there could be a useful tidbit inside. One good thing about blogs - people may not agree with you - but at least you can safely post an opini...

Hi Scooter![quote user="scooter"]
I have tried the SR-009, SR-007, SR-507, and SR-407 many times over a total of some 5 hours with a variety of sources but always with some Stax branded amplifier. Every time I thought / suspected that the big Stax...

[quote user="Paul S"]Likely, the wider ribbons are less good for HF-only than a long, narrow ribbon, like the G3 and G3Si use. Across the board, the larger the ribbon gets (and the lower the ribbon is made to go), the worse ...

Hi Guy, Romy, all
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
[quote user="guy sergeant"] The only way to escape this 'industry thinking' is to build all of your own components to your own specification regardless of cost. [/quote]
I would disagree with it. T...

DorinD, the objective you
posts for yourself was “getting best
audio-reproduction realism in a dining-room with reasonable cost. And time is
pretty cheap for an DIY amateur.” And I think you did very well. I do feel
that investing no more then $2...

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

I am not sure if the questions are wrong. Maybe they are just too early. There are plenty of audio people that pass around opinions as fact. That is a problem and most DIY pride is not in the absolute quality of sound, rather that it works, has wide ...

[quote user="angeloitacare"] horns of concrete :http://www.musique-concrete.com/ angelo[/quote]It seems like they are ending their sale of horns to the DIY community. Also, some people say that www.azurahorn.com are closing down. Not good n...

Romy, I know you despise DIY, but isn't this so obscenely simple to build one may as well try it? Presumably, all one needs is a length of large diameter cylindrical pipe, with a partition running down the middle? If one uses two pipes of slightly di...

My journeys with Melquiades made me to look at the problems wider: if to form a truly High-End objective, for amplification for instance, then does a “service” that can satisfy such an objective exists? Well, not really. Let look into this.

Steve and others, please, stops offering me buttery solutions, I have absolutely zero interest in them. I do not get: are you want just to talk about “something”? Come on, this is not DIY audio site. I use practical and sensible solutions, not just t...

Scooter, if you happen to be in my part of the world, I invite you to stop by my place (I provide accomodation right in the city center) and listen to my EMT with O2.My Staxquiades won't be ready soon for sure, but my source is well operational(refur...

Yesterday I woke up and suddenly I feet liking to convert my second Super Milq in 6-chennals Super Milq. I kind of did not want to touch it for almost 2 month and yesterday it “got” me. So, I started: took all the unnecessary 3-chennals Super Milq gu...

[quote user="Scott L"]I had to take
pause before I answered here; realizing in an almost shocking manner [that] I
don't listen to many commercial loudspeakers.

Hi thanks - can you please let me know if I can fit in a modular Nema 5-15R receptacle easily myself, without much diy?Also, will this keep the sonic qualities the same?...

I can understand wanting to reach out to audio people everywhere, but think that this speaker is a joke for many of us here. It certainly has nothing to do with advanced audio or evolved music reproduction. Even on a DIY site, how much traction does ...

Is it true that they were only made at one factory and are not made any longer?I realise that not many people are using them (either manufacturers or DIY people) but presumably there are large stocks lying somewhere?...

I think I get your message Romy, but offer an alternative perspective to DIY.The results depend on the motivation and expectations of the DIYer. For example, saving $$$ is one reason to start learning to solder and build simple circuits. ...

If I think about the last 10-20 years, the only name that keeps coming up is Tom Danley. Synergy and Unity horns and tapped horn subwoofers got a fair amount of traction in the pro sound and DIY HiFi world. Just about everything else is “old technolo...

The reason for posting is in a way relatively simple, some of us got the impression a few years ago, that it is not sufficient to be willing to pay any price to get a real superior unit. No matter what we will pay, in a way any commercial constructio...
