[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy, take a look at EML 30A and its cousins:

Yep, thanks, JJ. Still the EML 30A has a lot of gain but it has also very high plate impedance as well. As much gain w...

[quote user="Paul S"]it seems like a miracle that two people familiar with the score could recognize "it" and agree on it, via any sort of playback whatsoever ... we tend to focus (more or less) on the parts we recognize as Music. [/quote][quote user...

I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I thought that I get use t...

If you think that I am not an idiot then read further. I have been looking at my Macondo calibration

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 was promising to tell stories of my audio miracles with no
order of chronology or importance, so here is another one. I think it was in
2002-2003. I was transitioning from Lamm amplifications to Melquiades and was contemplating
to introduce a DH...

I found an interesting flow in the sound of my current OPTS and while it will be certified I am experimenting with park of amorphous core transformers that left over from my former projects. I am trying to remap my Tribute but it is just 40mA. It...

Thanks for this one Romy, very interesting...it sorta ties together several things that I have been thinking about lately. I guess I am lucky that the Bass Cannons can be run off 9w from the DSET bottom channel and from memory I get about 115dB at 1...

I put the YO186 back to the use. The sound was fine but it had that a fine over glow of spoiled fall colors that I described before. It was not disgusting, in fact pleasurable but a bit too much.
Then I asked to myself what happen and why this...

Connected today Melquiades and Macondo in new room. Macondo uses drivers as they are – no time or axis aliments of any kind yet, no Insertion Channels, no level calibration by channels. I just in-phase the channels and sat to listen, to see what happ...

I was yesterday drawing plans for the Zaratustra II’s chassis and was wondering how I might use it. The Zaratustra II turned out to be a little Monster, efforts-wise and expanses-wise. I hope it will demonstrate some results that will rectify the eff...

Thanks. Rony. I will certainly try the iTune, Linn channel and the rest of them. My opinion about them worth little as the “quietly” is always in context of… context. It is absolutely not arguable that 320kbps, or any other kbps steam for this ma...

Joe,
I personally very much disagree with my own comment that for two people objectively assess a speaker would be possible ONLY with two parties are sitting in the same room and listening to the same installation. I did propose it as a “remedy” in ...

[quote user="Jorge"]I guess it would be simple enough to add a couple of inches in order to bring the throat down to 4" in order to try the Studio 8M. I have already reduced it temporarily to 3" in order to try the JBL 2490h compression driver. ...

I've been thinking about how I am going to wire these Bass Cannons as well as the horns on the horn stack. For some time now I have preferred ribbon/foil speaker cables for the relatively low sensitivity speakers I have been using. The reason I bel...

Romy,Your Macondo system is something that has been a "role model" for what I'd like my playback system to be in the coming years. And much of what I've learned about horn playback systems I've learned from reading your writing and other posts on thi...

Dear All,Thank you all for your assistance, especially Romy, whose information has been particularly interesting. I have been in contact with Jeffrey Jackson, with whom I have discussed my driver preferences, and arrived at what is essentially only a...

[quote user="floobydust"] Been a long time since I've been on the fora... too much real work, too much travel. Still, nice to see this particular thread resurrected. I'm interested to see if you have revisited the 45 since more than a year ago. I sti...

I stopped by today in a local warehouse and picketed a 4x 16” fiber pipes and 2 two 20”. I absolutely love the effect. As soon I brought the tubes to the room and took the cover off in the hall room turned to be much quieter at HF. I did not expect t...

Actually Goto does not have default 5-6-7 way systems. I have seen that they recommend 4 ways systems. Definably in the fields the dealer and distributor load their ignorant customers with as much drivers as possible selling them 55 ways systems.&nbs...

Rakesh, I think you take it all wrong and I think you need to perform some degaussing from my site. You created for yourself a cardboard cutout of ideas that I describe at my site but it is not what it is. Macondo Axioms are not set of rules but a di...

OK, I decided to stop today to do what I do as it does not feel like me anymore. For a month as I live in here and have the playback up my playback is a source of great pain and I do not like it. I am accustomed that I turn the thing on and USE it. ...
