I finally added a -15 dB voltage divider to my ML2s last week to fix the noise problem from my L1 preamp - Why did I wait so long?!!The result is absolute dead silence. Nothing. Nada. It is almost impossible to tell if the system is powered on, ev...

This, from my prospective a superbly truthful article, was written by a Russian guy A. Polakov. I do not know who he is but the accuracy of Mr. Polakov’s experience regarding the subject and very similar Mr. Polakov’s and my observations of the issue...

I was pitching before that to make a loudspeaker with integrated LF module you have no ethical right to charge more then let say $20K retail. If you charge more then you have no mechanism to deliver anything for the money people pay. However, if you...

[quote user="Paul S"]Thanks, Scott L. I get the math, and no doubt hearing is believing. Still, I do know for certain that "a driver" can be influenced by a defined amount of trapped air in an enclosure, at least as far as the sound that comes from ...

I have no idea what this Tweeter is. The reference to the aerospace aluminum alloy and Lamborghinis very much suggesting that the tweeters are crap and the guy who make them an idiot. But will not be too fast with conclusion and I am accustom to see ...

Thanks, Roman... I strangely (?!?) feel me like a schoolboy at his first primary schoolday... virtually ALL my (limited) audio knowledge, vanished... and I'm dealing with brand-new problems, like a crossover with fixed slopes and cut-off frequencies ...

As the builder behind these horns, I can answer some of your questions. It's true, I was primarily focused on the woodworking/building side, and now I'm experimenting with amplification and crossovers. I can't speak authoritatively on those subjects...

The most important in audio is a state of realization and obtaining this state is a matter of time I am afraid. Let pretend that tomorrow I will build/buy some kind of speaker that would do the perfect ULF channel ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I usually hesitant to give any recommendations for “improvement” if a request does not contain any defined and specific complain about the current results.[/quote]Naturally, this makes sense. My question was actually specif...

LED facade:Mind blowing!One thing is LED in the circuit as an indicator lamp or, say, SS bias and another is a LED bulb.The bad element in the bulb is the RF generator. The LEDs in the bulbs are not fed with DC or line freq. but withRF square wave. S...

[quote user="mem916"]I think there must be something to the theory that there is debris down in the grooves that the VPI and other similar machines cannot get out, based on the difference I hear after cleaning with the new machine. I admit that I ha...

Hi folks. Who ever listened to Living Voice Vox Olympian Speakers might've liked them as much as I do.
They got a great realism in their projection. Some things are obvious, some even claimed.
Its claimed to use excellent drivers, high quality ...

Doug, it is a lot of tuner went over your hand. I wonder what drove you to do so. Was any specific quality of sound that you were looking and the tuner that you own did not serve you?

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Dima for instance (and he has quite high expertise in the subject) claims that there no true 24bit converters available anyhow. BTW, with all advances of HDCD, that I fully appreciate, it makes send only on 16 bit. At 20...

[quote user="audiofilofine"] All parts of the tweeter shave been designed and built.All are built in magnetic steel in preferenceto pure iron because pure iron is heated during processing and after processing was not possible to check that the charac...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have a few comments and questions. First about the posting. I guess you are from Italy and your use some kind of text editors that user a lot styles that are not renders properly a browser with western meetings. I just wo...

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

hi Romy! Good thought with the current on the damping...
I had another thought. High excusion might create lots of distortion in a compression chamber. No surprise.
But in my oppinion the sizes are often not in proportion. Lets calculate......

Robin, I'm not at all certain that my new speakers are "source tolerant", because I have "taken steps" all along to "ensure" part-to-part compatibility. I have tried to "sync" my phono and CD/DAC as much as possible, and the main thing I wanted from ...

This year is the first winter that I live with this new listening room. Last winter the playback was up and I still was playing with minor arrangements of my ULF channels, cable and a few other things. For many months I do pretty much nothing with my...

It’s a bit offtopic, but:[quote user="Paul S"] I haven't seen anything like this in over a decade, and I don't have the patience to wait until I find and acquire something like this, IF it exists. [/quote]The problem is that it does not exist… Simply...

I keep thinking about the temperature. Whatever the best I heard in Class A was running very very very hot. However, what is the association between sound, heat dissipation design and temperature. It is obviously that any amplifier designers wo...

Firstly are your observations regarding the ZH270 relating to comparisons with other push pull designs or SET's?
Secondly could you explain which characteristics of the recording are destroyed, and what mechanism David Berning uses to acheive this...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

[quote user="Paul S"] With the Wright amps the G2Si did not seem to live up to their efficiency specs using my little cap and coil crossover. I can't offer good descriptions of their sound with the ML2s until I get my TT going, but ...

In the last 10 years I had some chances to visit owners with very expensive Systems (>500.000,-- $) and all they had the same in common:
Absolutely no idea about real High End or Music reproduction and I mean non, nada, nothing, they went to a d...

This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering. There is an army of people out there who would swear by a complete transpare...
