Since adding the one-staging 3 channels have triggered the replacement of all magnetiks in the Super Milq’s power supplies:

[quote user="op.9"]A 20w tripath and a 5w El84 set per channel is a sensible and cheap combination. The tripath and line level crossover section could be thrown in for free![/quote]
Ah, the EL84! That brings so many memories…. I was 9-10 years old a...

[quote user="drdna"]I find the sound of my horn loudspeakers very satisfying, and by the way I have the EdgarHorn Titans, which may make you chuckle if you are a horn snob, but I think they do a very good job, one of the best commercially available h...

MoreartDouble-driver "back horns"? I am not sure what you are asking about, or what exactly you are promoting, but I do not agree with lightweight, square-section horns, because I have never heard one that worked, apart from shifting certain frequen...

Well, yes and no. In the new 6 channels version of Super Milq I will be use 2 stepped attenuators: for Injection Channel and for ...

Thanks, miab
I am encouraged that your guys feel that it is doable. I was cowling in the attic and had very bad feeling. The beams (you call them trusses) are VERY thick and the attic is not a full waking. The house has center AC and my red tr...

Guy,I absolutely disagree and I think there is a huge difference between lettings your wife to know that skin in her neck remind you sesame chicken and letting a play director know that his new production stinks. Of course we moderate our behavior in...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Understanding Line Array SystemsBy John Murray
Behind the buzz, there are a lot of factors at work in line arrays. An explanation and comparison of current models. This discussion can’t be contained in just a few paragraphs, so we must start with th...

Ok, I have both channels up and running and it looks like it is almost it. It left only re-measure everything , properly calibrate and tune up the port. So, how is it?
The project is success, it sound very pleasant and not anion for non-critical lig...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I'm not so critical as you to open baffles for midbass, tho, in fact I think they can be made to work quite well, if one doesn't have the room for midbasshorns. [/quote]
You suggest that open baffles might be more successful...

A few years ago a friend of my asked me what I feel might be a perspective product to go in high-end that would do well business wise and at same time topology would be optimized to serve better sound. I gave him an idea of a monitor, coupled with a ...

[quote user="Serge"]Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commerc...

Well, the LL1627A is very good universal transformer with phenomenal flexibility (properly done - with section not with tabs) to load the output stage. It might be a good choice for a full-range amp at 200mA, though I would still prefer to have a tra...
