[quote user="Romy the Cat"]When you are taking about “caps at higher frequencies”, then what do you
mean? The line level, the speaker level, the line level between? Do not forget
that a RL filter is always preferable over C filter.[/quote]It was re...

Hi Romy,I am calculating crossover scenarios for the HF Channel (Channel F) and am hoping that you can remember a reasoning for using a 20K LPad instead of a larger value such as 30K or even 50K? As the larger impedance is used the value of the capa...

Hey Romy I read your requirements of a mid bass horn. I am using jabo tratrix KH-55A(320hz) with altec 288 and I want the mid bass to go under that. I would use a trattix round midbass if it was possible. But it's just not with in my abilitys to buil...

Of course "the bearing" under a 100 lb. platter might be designed to last 100 years in that application, but I faintly recall something about a plastic thrust block, or something along those lines... Anyone ready to pony up for the 100 lb. platter o...

it high possible that it was no lost in translation. Anthony, if you are trying
to implement with your version of Milq the same multi-amping with line level

A DSP is a great tool for modelling crossovers. It lets us experiment with a lot of things with no additional costs. There is a sonic hit, but far lower than "guessing" at crossovers.What seems to get the most traction here is using inherently well b...

[quote user="haralanov"] The ribbon is 100% tonally … If you use this tweeter lower than 10kHz your system will be totally unlistenable because you cannot reproduce the proper tone of harmonics.[/quote] It is pretty much what I found as well during m...

I'm no expert, but my understanding is this. 99.9% of DACs are going to oversample the digital input anyway. Does it therefore matter if the input is upsampled or not? Unless there is a super-duper interpolation algorithm that can create more informa...

I have to say, that I genially like the new 99.5. I do not have as perfect reception as I had with 97.9 with absolutely clear, no noise background. Still, thankfully the compression of the new 99.5 is very low and last night and today live broadcasts...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...

Voltage sag at the ConEd level is the-same-only-different from porta power sag. If nothing else, at some point, many of us will have a huge "oversupply" feeding the tranny that feeds the nearby drop that feeds our house. No porta unit puts out anyt...

Paul, again the diodes are there not because they are diodes and one needs a diode action there, but because they wanted to substitute cathode bias resistor with something that would have a big static resistance (to set the DC point and stabilize) an...

Hey, Wojtek, nice to hear it worked out for you. And what did Retsel think?Can you and/or Retsel say what you did not like about the un-Bud-ed Lowthers in the same installation(s) and what the improvements are?I have been uneasy about "mere" "i...

After much consideration I desired to get my test crossover. I chose when for Velodyne SMS-1 that someone pitched at this site before. The unit has 6, 12, 18, 24, or 48 dB/octave low-pass filters that I need and runs up to 200Hz. I do not think that ...

In this case I do not knock the author of the articulate. He is a reviewer, the Soundsate.com level of reviewer, the worst kind and there is not a lot of expectation from him. It is not to mention that where did you an industry reviewer was able to ...

wide open, just to hear what it does with either condition.It is illuminating and surprising, especially the first times, you hear, in one case, how it divides up the spectrum and in the other case how the driver responds above the range you intend t...

I do not believe in applied presbyacusis. It is not that I do understand the subject of loosing spectral sensitively with age but I certainly do not feel that deterioration of HF sensitivity makes a person more or less capable to register music. We ...

Thanks for responding. You mention a rotary phase knob. Is this ULF system connected through a digital processor? If yes, will you expand on DSP effects on sound and system integration with the DSP? Many "pros" use these filters to "handle" speak...

First, verify the levels. The ADC may expect a PRO input level and your tuner may be putting out 200mV.Second, I would run spectrum analysis of the tuner output and look what is happening past 15kHz. Is there any 19kHz, 38kHz or higher frequency sign...

Yes and No... Yes, I saw/heard some exhibitors with music on servers, that I felt was limited in scope, and insufficiant quality to show what I wanted to hear (dynamics, range, complexity, whatever). It can be used as a convienient "reason" not...

As a certified non-expert I wonder about 1st order XO with the tweeter, because of the phase issue. Probably stupid, but I always figured that at 180 degrees you could just switch the wires...But I have not tried 1st order on a ribbon for a lon...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I wouldn´t talk about "wrong polarity", rather about "dislike of the resulting harmonic spectrum". Wonder how the result would be with phase-correct FIR filters for the RED.[/quote] El`Ol, it is not how I see the sings and I talk ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0d1) 3) The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound. ...

Well, since this thread is about the BMS drivers then what can I say? When I tried the BMS driver I felt that their “absolute tone” ability was at the level of demands of school auditoriums. Read more about “absolute tone” at:

Romy, would you explain / help me better understand how you implemented the HP filter in Melquiades?The schematic shows a series cap after the first tube stage (C3 and C4 in the schematic). I think these are the first-order HP filters, correct?Quest...

[quote user="Bill"]1. Put a door in front of the alcove that is casusing the resdonance and line it with 6 " of sonex. May turn the space into a bass trap at 60 Hz.2. Put an adjustable notch filter into your crossover at 60 Hz.[/quote] Bill, the 6 "...

What a great rap! At first it triggered my gag reflex, but it did not take long for my eyes to roll back in my head while I began to run the numbers: how many cords, which models, etc.OK, it filters out certain orders of noise. So how does it do wi...

I do not think that I might use an equalizer in normal sense; I do not need the full flow EQ option. What I might find useful on some case is to have 4-5 fixed curves and it would be pretty much it. Hypothetically with Macondo and DSET I might write ...
