actually I agree with Romy, to a degree.... If the amplifier is a push pull device, using my output and input splitter devices of course, then an interstage transformer is a much better choice than rc coupling. Using transformers designed to the crit...

Be very carefull in the advice taken from 'professional opinions'. Be as skeptical of these opinions as you are of audio opinions. In construction, maybe more than audio, everyone thinks their opinion is gold. Even city codes are often incorrect when...

first post... but I recognize quite a few friends here.. so, my straight horns... I like them very much.. I built mine similar in style to what Greg B linked, but obviously much smaller.. mine are just under eight feet long (length of a sheet&nb...

Nope, they are not. The Expressive MC transformers (the actulal transformers) are very smal...

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

Those who flow what is going on with my 6-Ch Milq know that for sniggle driver stage I this revision I went what for non-electrolytic capacitors. I use a mandatory for me input choke with 200uF on PS side and then 100R and 100uF on the amps side to g...

[quote user="hagtech"]Yes, steel chassis can be both good and bad. It likes to conduct magnetic fields, so you have to treat things appropriately. A little spacing under a choke can go a long way. Otherise you have a 120Hz motor.&nb...

Yes, it is true – it looks like a move toward my Audio Demoronisator

However, I would like to see what and how Fenice does what it does. This new paper MF driver looks interesting. I ...

I'm probably revealing my ignorance by even asking this, but I'm
curious to know if a field coil ribbon tweeter could be practical. It
occurs to me that if one could be made, it would be a lot safer since
it wouldn't be a black hole for magnetic o...

The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wouldn't call it an "open baf...

[quote user="cv"]The point of the field coil is to saturate the piss out of the magnetic circuit so that the coil flux does not modulate the motor. Romy, I suspect that your experience of them may be based on an older drivers where saturation was not...

Haralanov,
I spoke with a guy who consulted me during my Electo-Vitavox project. He helped me with selection of core material, deliberated the core and calculated the right coil to keep the core mass optimally magnetized. He has over 40 experi...

[quote user="Jorge"]I am not using the S2 driver, I have been going the long way testing a bunch of different compression drivers. Right now I am testing the TAD 2001, I can say leaving it full range going all the way up, it develops a certain ...

[quote user="cv"] But the real reason for my post is to ask:I was thinking about the results you reported and am really scratching my head as to why the FC S2 should sound honky, given that its acoustic geometry is completely unchanged. Any idea...

What I assumed initially is written on the Nordost page.
"The QKOIL QK1 is a load resonating coil (LRC) which generates a passive electronic field that has a beneficial sonic effect on the AC current."

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

This is kind of shit that I hate. I went to AA and read a person said:
“Don't miss the CAR room... That would be Classic Audio Reproduction. But that's only if they are showing the same basic design as last year, which uses modified JBL drive...

Today is a “special” day in the subject of this thread – today the last waited piece of the projects – the inner-stage transformer will be shipped to me and I will have no more impediments to render the project. However, the intricacy of the pr...

I know that I ma a wacco, so extend patience while you read it.

In the thread “Vitavox S2 with Electromagnets.” there was plenty of discussion about RCA 1428 driver. Here is more to it: the Great Vintage Loudspeakers made a new production of the RCA 1428 driver.

[quote user="haralanov"] You may not believe me, but the driver start to roll off (very smoothly) after 14kHz and at 20kHz is at -6dB. I intentionally do not use it so high, because I have ultra light weight alnico paper tweeter: http://www.bgau...

I do not know how my S2 driver will sound but I defiantly know that it will have the problem with temperature. Looking prematurely at the driver’s sound it looks like it produce the necessary magnetic force at 2A-2.3A, that heats a lot of this driver...
