I never knew that it will be so much fun. As I started the basement cleanup project I did kind of remotely conceptualize that I will try to make a winter pipe smoking place. Instead I discover in my house a new listening room that I have to tell you ...

[quote user="kodomo"]Well, with my unit, you are right under one condition. It does not matter if I am on the battery or the ac line as long as the unit is connected, it sounds the same but it does not perform good. However if I am on the battery...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

So, I have finally started testing a single Bass Cannon in my room.First, I had to get the rigidity as high as possible and then damp the steel ringing as much as feasible. I used butyl rubber/aluminium automotive deadener on the inside of the tube ...

TwoGoodEars posted at his blog a report about is listening session or some kind of installation. I still have no idea who’s installation it is: Jean Hiraga or Be Yamamura. Nevertheless, I think it very much worth to look into it.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"].....the idea of the triangle horns with some kind of location of the drivers is what I was thinking as well. [/quote]Which kind of brings me to the thinking… if I do the triangular midbass horns then what shall I...

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...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

Lx, I do not think that my any of my PP2000 or PP3000 were been modified by APS specifically to suit my needs/complaints. Well, I did complain if I see something that is not right but there were (to the best of my knowledge) not customization for my ...

Ok, I have been experimenting with placement : Long wall versus short wall. Though the frames have wheels and roll very easily, my room is cursed with an elevated platform smack in the middle of everything (about 14 inches higher than the main floor)...

[quote user="Merlin"] Absolutely inadequate for desiphering the subjective sound quality yes - all we can deduce is that the system has a maximum sensitivity of 98db/w at best, and quite possibly less. As do many fine loudspeaker systems.

Hello,"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,"i promoting nothing ,i gave only an info about a world novelty,y...

[quote user="Paul S"]
The more-driver/more-power method has in fact been used to very good effect in rooms that +/- eat bass. The set-up I remember had about 8 515s per side and LOTS of power that I suppose it did not actually use very often; but...

Ronnie,
Arranging the driver in a line array is a fierily straight forward thing. Also be advised that the arrays will less likely work across a short wall, and you need to use a long wall. Generally it is imposable to advise anything as any rooms a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is very nice,
Anthony. From aesthetic prospective I would like to have it to be 2 sections less
as I feel that the bass sections overcomes horns visually but it is never too
many bass sections. You might want to start...

Anthony, this is very interesting perspective. I associate my feeling in respect to sensitivity but you brought up the activity as something which certainly coupled with sensitivity. I do not think that we have a mythologically clean experiment h...

[quote user="kodomo"]Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing...

The trouble with all the really easy stuff is all the digital manipulation it undergoes before we even get a shot at reproduction. One must simply be in the proper mindset when "listening" to such dross.
Here is the latest from our friends at Son...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced bass I've ever heard. Also if listening to a real contrabass in a normal listenin...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, over the years I have seen
that the low voltage adapter get weaker and impact the remote control functionality.
Also, the type of the low voltage adapter I used did have very profound impact
to sound, which abso...

[quote user="Paul S"]Back to APS troubles, I can't help but think that some plain, old-fashioned, forthright honesty would go a long way. I recently read some posts from an APS wonk claiming outright to an HT group that there is absolutely no di...

[quote user="DHT4ME"] … Suspensions either harden or soften. [/quote]
Actually I know everything (:-) about the suspension and VTA. I can hear VTA very well. In fact contrary to what people say the Shelters are very sensitive to VTA. My feeling is t...

I think my new room and new midbass horn will give me an opportunity to play at the NEW LEVEL with a notion that I have been chasing for years. I am taking about perceptual shrinking of frequency response. I need to admit that most of the ugliest...

Last week PurePower send me back my “upgraded” PP2000 unit that eventual get right sound. I did test it running my entire playback from it and found it usable. I found that there was VERY minor difference in sound between them, so minor that I w...

Make you bids ladies and gentlemen – how long would take to complete my midbass horn.
We broke the wall last Fridays and this Friday we made firth plywood cut. When I said “we” I meant truly not my carpenter and me but just my carpenter as my ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The brickish finish does not make me cringe, in fact I do like the idea. I do not feel that it would be some kind of non-truths. There is no truths or non-truths in it. The only a few first feet of the horn will be visi...

After the endless battles with bad electricity, great news that you have found one, and possibly two, good solutions. I can vouch for the terrible electrical infrastructure and great radio stations Boston has to offer. Some days my system sounds pr...
