I miss the ancient "apologia", but who has time for ity these days? For those familiar with this gambet, consider this blast preceded by an "excuse" that somehow justifies both itself and what follows. I am too tired to bring these thoughts to ...

I am somewhat familiar with the dact: I used it in non controlled manner but familiar environment; it was assembled by someone else who also provided the necessary power supply; it was in two chassis about 15x15x~30 cm each (one for ps), so the equal...

Maybe Kierkegaard was right...Although I was introduced to Great Burgundy during a series of great, grand, multi-course feasts, this was a long time ago, and things have changed for me since then. For one thing, there was never any Bruckner rendered...

I already have some PY500 (it's a sign =))) ) and I have 836 too.I read about Malquiade amplifier threads.So it seem peoples on this forum like horn speakers (I love them too) and are looking for fast transient response, it's exactly what I like.But ...

This weekend wife told me that I should not do nothing else
but to fix my playback and this was exactly what I wanted to do. Yesterday I took
good 14 hours to play with it, moving boxes, trying to find a good
configuration, making measurements, th...

Maybe you remember, even though I liked sealed enclosures I chose the ported bass boxes for my system. The reason was the TAD 1601b's in my situation. They just work and sound better with ported enclosures as they were designed to be used that way.Ma...

Dear Malinowski,The basic idea for phase plugs is that the sound from all points of the diaphragm should arrive to the throat at the same time. For the midbass horn we only used a simple one slit plug. If you feel up to it you could make a more...

So, what you would have to do is buy a bunch of #9 AWG solid copper wire from China, so it is only 99% pure,acid etch the surface, paint it with tar and wind it up in a snake sex twist. Or pay them to do it for you.The idea is sound, the application ...

There are a few other ways to roll off HF: shaping and extending front chamber, playing with damping of the driver cone and so in. The Altec 515G at 220H, what the channel above? When you say that you have too much HF then how do you methodologically...

The entire morning I am cleaning house and listening WCRB, warming myself up for 3MP broadcast of Riccardo Muti leads Chicago with Verdi's Requiem. Hey, did I tell you that am listening my new midbass horns? Well, I do and I do not. The throats of th...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Their price is not exactly "budget". The description sounds interesting, but I'd like to know if you have listened to any yourself and can recommend some for being an interesting performance worth a listen.[/quote]I would lik...

truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

[quote user="anthony"]My RAAL Lazy Ribbon has ended up needing a 1st order high pass filter to match the midrange S2 which is so much more convenient than third or fourth order as initially intended.[/quote]
In my case I found that RAAL ribbon wit...

I've played around with a couple of amplifiers that have variable output impedance, namely the Berning ZH-270 and Wolcott Presence P220M. The Wolcott Presence in particular is interesting, as the constantly-variable output impedance control can...

What is the difference in audio? You spend day of you live in your listening rooms trying to make that cable elevator between your phonostage and cartridge to “sound better” and someone after listening your setup inform y...

You might want to try covering a section of plywood with the modified cement/mortar recipe as a test before you write it off as too difficult or too expensive. Basically, it does pretty much what you ask, and it need not be 2" thick, either; 1/2" or...

[quote user="haralanov"]…. acoustic filter does not rotate electrical phase of the signal. [/quote] I do not think it is correct. The rotation of electrical phase is not the subject of filtration method but subject of slop and Q. Of you write the sam...

Thanks The CatI'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.I as...

Ah, I think I have found the secrets that I was looking for. I still do not work with 15-in woofer but still try to make my red driver sound the way how I want and I got some revelation and the result that is very close where I would like to be. The...

Oh, yes this is the whole idea of Remedies, it is not only a Red combination but it is an assembly with midbass channel which would make it a conventional box loudspeaker. You see, with all interesting things about Tannoy Red the woofer part of t...

Hello Dan,Love how you pass that cable through the port, I used to do that too...long time ago.Why are you crossing your 250hz horn all the way up to 1 khz?The 2445 should be able to go much lower. Have you measured the response you are getting from...

[quote user="steverino"]Well of course they are Not reproducing a drum at twice live volume they are merely playing a recording of a drum at higher volume. If you analyzed the wave form it would Not be the same, just louder. It would be distorted. Th...

Being a musician, I deal with constructive resonance every day. Tubes resonate as a function of length, boxes resonate as a function of the internal length, width, diagonals. Irregular shapes resonate as a function of volume, horns resonate as a func...

OK, Guys.
I have sent the “winner’s CDs” to you. I do not remember to whom but for some of the Brits I put 2 CDs. So, who get the second CD then, please, pass a copy to Thorsten Loesch.
I hope you enjoy the Music and thanks for visiting on my site....

I can contact them again and ask for a price quote for the SLC. These people don't do audio at all. When I contacted them for my RE-1009/2T they couldn't understand how it was possible that any audio equipment could take any profit of their products....

Alex, contrary to the numerous speculation that many people more or less reasonably spread about the subject, my experience indicates that there are no such a things as “preferable crossover frequencies". The chosen optimum crossover frequencies are...

As I read that darkmoebius wants the amps for a vintage dream "never-built" Olsen cornerhorn I have to ask myself if Melquiades is the first choice for his project. For one thing, do I remember correctly that you eschewed feedbac...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I bought the Lundahl chokes for L1 and was not able to us them and they were insultingly sharp. For the L1 you would need more henries and more DCR, the higher DCR will sound better and the “bad” and “cheap” Hammond chokes ...
