Why no amount of watts will compensate for direct-radiation :Start with the obvious : When compared to either multiple direct-radiating drivers or a single horn-loaded driver, to achieve the same SPL, a single direct-radiating driver must work harder...

Quite a few things have happened the last 4 months that I have played with the 6C33Camp/preamp combo. I have tried at least 3 different vendors on the Ulyanovsk type, the ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

Jessie, since I got my amps I have followed Romy's suggestion and recycled swapped-out V2s into V1 service. As it happens, I do not run V2s (or V1s) over a year, but I have had no problems of any kind that I can relate to following the annual V2-to-V...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

Romy,Regarding your first illustration:Some time ago I intentionally made two different boxes for my ScanSpeak drivers to see what will happen, because I do not believe in theories and trust only to my ears. The boxes had exactly the same internal vo...

I didn't know about this sad episode, but in your place I would find a way to ask him publicly about that[1]. He, of course, has no liability (by law) of what Micro Seiki (as a company) did, but would be interesting to know his reaction. Surely, ...

Here are some my ideas for an “Unlimited Turntable”. Feel free to share some of your ideas… An “Unlimited Turntable” should allow multiple arms. It should be a good quality arm with a good stereo cartridge…. Also, it should be a good quality arm with...

There is a very scarce effect in nature I will try to explain, a sort of sense explosion. One of this happens sometimes in food tasting.
When you have a very tasty, very good cheese and you take a couple of bites and it grabs your tongue and i...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

Yoshi, I think you are mistaken, let me explain why. When we enter the realm of conversations about “comparing” Goya and Pollock then we touch a very lucrative ground of actually comparing thier artistic methods, their expressionism and many other th...

Hi everyone Guess what! Just had a visit to this system last night. Upfront, the owner - thank you Klaus again - is a very welcoming and friendly fellow. But also remarkably reasonable and decent. Total absence of any need to show off. You rather nee...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eli, I as any other person on consumer side, do sympathize
with how you feel. I would like however to point out that this site is not the

[quote user="George"] By fingerlift I mean that piece of metal sticking out about 1" (1/8" wide) at the extreme left end of the pipe. It is attached by two screws to the pipe. It looks easily removable but I have not tried it. I imagine it is possibl...

Another very interesting aspect of the Water Dropping of Macondo is a dramatization of silences and influence of LF decay. Macondo has no own noise and the Super Milqs are dead quiet. However, the perceptions of silence with the Water Drop tweeter an...
