Again, it may be parallax (or, it may be late...), but the following do not appear to me to be "smooth progressions", whether simple or exponential:1) Section 2, vertically
2) Section 4, horizontally

I still thinking about this ides of ultra sharp digital filtrations and for whatever reasons it fascinates me. It is not the I am consider to do anything with it – it is absolutely not needed for me – still I might like the idea as a topological solu...

Hi Romy,
I've confirmed through Goto's Japanese dealer that a drop between 200-400hz is normal for 505TT, their suggestion was to double up on drivers or buy the more expensive versions... Looking at the measurements the 505TT is good for 400-1800...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...

Besides the single driver Aporia (which I haven't heard) I don't think Silbatone has made any speakers. So they don't 'employ' GIP drivers. I think GIP is a separate Japanese company who have just been invited to participate at these German show...

"You mistakably took roundness but it was nothing but confidence and luck of my interest to contaminate the thread with another introduction of acoustic absolute phase." Folks, I invite you to look at the record. I introduced AC plug polarity and whe...

A typical switching supply does not evenly load the input (sinewave) power source and can create some dirt on the AC line (Paul's "backwash" statement??). Depending on many variables, the amount of contamination the switching supply could contribute...

That just about sums it up, all right. You'd think it would be obvious that cartridges are not a viable subject for DIY/boutique building and/or modding; but, apparently, they are yet approached in this way by a small "underground" army of hopefuls,...

Monochrome is a result of a manipuration of what you call "normal live colors". In this case, "normal live colors" is the original element to be manipurated and not a contrary concept. The contrary concept to monochrome would be enhanced colors...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Some of it, (the current speakers and some of the amplifiers) are in my view, not outstanding. Other items, (the big preamp, phono stage, cartridge, MC transformer, silver cables and largest power amps are exceptionally goo...

Well, I just placed an order on the 505TT and S150 horn last week... I came across this site after placing my order and now I'm worried about the mismatch of driver/horn. It seems like I'll have to either change the horn or the back chamber. Romy, is...

Romy, thank you for the very useful info. You have given me hope! When I contacted CEC in Japan a year or two ago asking to let me buy replacement lasers (as many as I could) they said no (they did say they will repair the unit if it ever fails - if ...

Paul,
Ok, I would agree with this. The power handling is the factor that I forgot to mention. The Japanese home drivers are rated for a few watts vs. the pro driver are rated for hundreds watts. BTW, some of older pro drivers (like my Vitavox) wer...

... on the (or your) kind of view. Some time ago I had a nice conversation with the marketing manager of a very exclusive and high priced Japanese Brand in a Exhibition Show. Of course, all talk about Sound, a bit more from this here, a bit less from...

Well written article, I think, and he is good enough to share right away that he is a "vintage" guy, and an AN guy, which helps me contextualize his observations, even though he does not reveal the nature of the $$$$$$ "ultimate horn speakers" (...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] Thanks for the lecture on material I've been closely acquainted with for thirty years. But please don't try to dodge the issue, viz., that you erroneously said AC plug polarity has "nothing to do with The Wood Effect". The...

[quote user="MINGSU"] I finally received the GOTO SG38WNS 15" woofer and GOTO SG188S tweeter this week. My next step is to build a dual driver bass cabinet to cover 70Hz down. [/quote] Ming, I know nothing about the Goto woofer. Would you care to sha...

It is 4” exit and reportedly goes down to 27Hz. I do not know what a lot about this diver but it might be a good driver for 40Hz horn. 4” into 40hz? God, it has to be at least 16 feet long horn! I would take my head off to somebody who goes for it. A...

I do not know any Mravinsky’s mono sets. I have individual mono records of him doing 4, 5 and 6 symphonies. He did the Pathétique in 1949 and 1956, both were certainly mono. The performance from 1956 I consider the ultimate Pathétique. The “qui...

Thanks, Gordon
I have absolutely no desire to undertake any DIY efforts for MiniMe amp. The amp that I want will be boxed, with bells and whistles, binding posts and matters. There were plenty of top of the line Yamahas, Sonys and Sansuis were...

Be, that's pretty emperical, all right.Regarding the 5" versus 9" listening comparison, I wonder if the (inevitable-for-the-genre?) response peaks simply struck more of an aural contrast with the bigger driver and it's "1-note bass", creating a great...
