As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. Based on theoretical arguments the noninductive metal film r...

Any LF acoustic system has two SPL levels: the SPL of pressure and the SPL of tone.[/quote]Ahhh! Very good Romy. I don't recall you talking about Pressure and Tone SPL before. The tapped horn can be designed any 3 ways....

Paul,It would be improper for me to write down what I have worked on over almost 40 years in the telcoms business. WRT a CV for example, I have in the past written it all down and the reviewers do not believe it. Eventually, i stopped bothering abo...

Haralanov, do not write stupid posts, you have “no experience and no knowledge” about it. Also, do not propose to look at any other speakers as looking is very a deceptive activity. There is a phenomenon of vision that called “phantom visual reality”...

Firstly are your observations regarding the ZH270 relating to comparisons with other push pull designs or SET's?
Secondly could you explain which characteristics of the recording are destroyed, and what mechanism David Berning uses to acheive this...

I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. I can get roughly 70Vrms out of it. Output stage clips first, driver continu...

[quote user="noviygera"] Is there a pill for that too? Seriously, it would be very interesting to hear what solution you come up with because I have converted from listening music solo to a small number of audience (friends). So much that I listen by...

I do not know if I agree, or take seriously belt creeping. Belt creeping is applicable for the systems where the speed or tension a variable. However, in the case of TT, where the speed and tension are constant the amount of belt creep is constant al...

[quote user="skushino"]Guys, my attention has been elsewhere the past couple of weeks. The catalyst for the original post was to go beyond the usual "speakers in a room" approach, and use the room itself as an integral part of the sound. IB seemed ...

Pretend
a driver diaphragm, any driver. From front diaphragm "sees" the horn
throat and the mass of air in the horn that diaphragm needs to
"push". This creates let call front spring. If a driver has a front
chamber than let discard it for now. ...

I have heard hundreds and hundreds of audio systems and mine is by far the best. Honestly nothing even comes close. There is a scientific reason for this. MY system starts with a PERFECTLY tuned room...something overlooked by ma...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Indeed I did not understood you.
If you would like Milq’s front end to drive something else then it is perfectly
fine solution. We have it to drive 6C33C, GM70, many DH tubes, SS push/pull. I
do not know about the Class D module current requiremen...

The other night I listened to a Girl with Guitar master tape. A friend has a home recording studio that would make most comercial studios not only jelaous, but also broke. A highly modded ATR 102 in 1/4" half track and a vintage stereo microphone; ...

I wonder if any new interning horns ideas are present at CES. There is a post at the hi-fi-heroin site:

Dear Romy,Assuming that your questions are "honest" ones ( I have no reason to believe they are traps, like it happened to me before with a certain Mr. Thor), I will give you "honest" answers, hoping that our dialogue will be of some interest to the ...

It is interesting to recall how audio started in my life. Somebody asked and I was puling out from my memories some unconnected fragments was really enjoying to recall those times…
I do not relay remember how old I was. I was then probably 10, as a...

Still, I feel that for MF channels it is beneficial for do with a good DHT output

Thanks, Romy, for your generous reply.
I won't try to address everything about everything, but let me bore
you with a mini-history of what is going on with my playback so you
will understand where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to ...

How do you make that calculation? Seems to be way out of line with my experience. I have been very happy with 35w maximum of Radford STA25 push-pull valve power, and my current 20w single ended works just fine.
