Romy, perhaps you can give your 7th a photographic based analogy which you seek improvement on.Just don't say photo stitching ...Wavelength dependent level /hue /sat adjustment ? (gamma + black and white point)This will be recording specific though.....

On the cover art she is dressed in slinky white dress with hand caressing cello, on CD she is dressed in emperor's new clothes. Too bad rostropovitch doesn't look good in underwear for the cover photo, but really whyndoes she need to record this. She...

I saw the drink cups and the framed photo next to the TT so it seemed that it was in someone's home. I guess we need Stich to chime back in on that. If it was a commercial presentation, then yes the system would be an issue because you don't know how...

Scott, I'm guessing the installation shown in the photo makes lots of LF, but how does it provide balanced, "free air" loads on both sides of the drivers?Best regards,Paul S...

Interesting discussion, and nice installation, but I still don't understand how this elaborate set-up unloads both sides of the driver cones, apart from free air?Scott L, when you click on the "link" you've created in the dialog box, check at the bot...

Romy,
I ran the tube conservatively at 40W, because it is still breaking in, and I do not want to push it too much power to damage it (then I will have to break-in a new tube all over again). This amp can give max power at 20.35W (12.76Vrms into 8 ...

Finally listening to my Melq which I have named Koshka!Here is a photo of my two tiered wooden chassis which I tested before sending it back to the cabinet maker for sanding and oiling.Thank you Romy for your blog and making the schematic available t...

And this capacitor is connected as shown in the photo. its minus goes to mass, its plus goes via R21 to the B + tap in the OTP transformer. I waited for the resistance to stabilize, which started at 2 million ohms and stopped at 42 million ohms ...

I was listening to that Everest LP yesterday and found myself half laughing through the 2nd and 3rd movements."sarcasm and professional virtuosity" seems like a fitting description, although I haven't heard any other versions of the concerto.I got th...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]No, I did not change the wires, just took the photo of the old socket from a different angle (off 90°); you need to mentally rotate the image.[/quote]I did mentally rotate it. The very first wire on right from the bridge b...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

Here's what I would do.In general :Start by excluding the DPoLs, excluding the electronics and associated gear, and considering just the room. With no electronics functioning, is the room an acoustically pleasant space ? Invite friends over and ...

Domidaw, you wrote: The photo shows the capacitor c10. Its minus is connected to ground, its plus goes to the output transformer,According to the schematic it is the grounded (minus) end of C10 that should connect to one side of the output transforme...

Twogoodears,
I am sorry, I do not know what you mean asking me to speculate on these pictures. I know very little about ALE drivers and I would not make any guesses. The system design that is presented on the picture is certainly not of my li...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I built a pair of tapped horns, as per John Hasquin, designed to integrate w/ mid-bass horns (cross over ~ 70-80 hz). Loaded in the corners, the low bass is well supported, and, they "dissapear" sonicaly. By that, I mean, ...

[quote user="vinylithicum"]Hi audiofilofine.Nice drivers, although the picture is a bit fuzzy. Can you tell more about your drivers?Maurice.[/quote]All parts of the tweeter shave been designed and built.All are built in magnetic steel in preferenceto...

Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. Take a look:The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex line of widera...

I finished the second prototype and finally can listen in stereo...and start the fine-tuning...only problem now is to reduce the input sensitivity of the temporary tube amp so that I don't get blown away at the first notch of the volume control ;-)

Can I have some opinions on a potential mid-bass driver for my Altec 515s, as pictured in the attachement? What are the obvious or potential problems I should address?see attached photo: 120 Hz - @800 Hz.For the Altec 515 such a horn should be ...

Mats, I must have missed something. What do you see in the Audiotekne photo that you ask after the bass box? My usual ADHD glance only took in a double-wall-with-double-cutouts front baffle(s), and the (small-ish) size of it; maybe some sort of BR ...

"A tweeter positioned inside the MF horn"I wasn't sure how that could be done effectively but was looking forward to a creative solution. That photo image is not what I expected; on hindsight it is not a surprise. Of course one could rip the tweeter ...

Well, the tunnels will certainly affect the sound, whether they're inside or out, whether or not it winds up mattering to you, and it looks from the photo like the Vitavox will be in the same situation as the Tannoy. You did not say if you aimed to m...

The "lack" of HF is definitely one of the wonderful things that makes one think of spending 30K on a phono stage. Glad to hear you are "suffering" a similar "dirth" of HF [noise] with your DIY corrector.I wasn't going to say anything, but I won...

Come on, Thomas, no one talks about the 75-85db of gain at MM level. However, the higher gain does has some things that I find is very useful and I find it is much worth to burn extra 15dB in prams then to have a preamp wide open and run photo at low...

Datubie,
I do not think you should have a lot of expectations from Japanese GOTO office. I do not know how about the drivers but I would doubt their practical experience in system engineering. Their exponential trumpet horns are very poor. Their “r...

Automotive seats typically have smallish, adjustable head restraints, and the seat backs recline. Take a look at this:http://www.bookofjoe.com/images/2007/10/22/1ewtrety.jpgNote that the support integrates arm rests. Yes one's butt would be a bit low...
