Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

[quote user="Paul S"] If you have the Mercury SR2-9013 35mm master Dorati/LSO Nutcracker, that might be a treat [/quote]
Hate that performance. Dorati did not play Tchaikovsky appropriately. Each and single Dorati’s Tchaikovsky piece sound to ...

The reason that I built the 6C33C preamp was to explore the 6C33C true musical potential like I did with the 845. Not only did I compare the sound of these tubes in power amp, but also in preamp. The reason is that with power amp you might hit some l...

A German company Avatar Acoustics makes loudspeakers with adjustable positioning of their ribbon-tweeter. This is very much with the context of this thread although I’m questioning a lot of things in those loudspeakers (pretty much everything beside ...

Romy, it sounds like, as usual, you have covered a lot of ground already before you put out your first questions about ribbons.FWIW, I presently use Arum Cantus G2Si ribbons, phasing them in at 10k Hz to supplement the Lowther DX4's dreaded...
|
|
It is my understanding that the only reason to make a ribbon bigger is to get it to go lower in frequency. I don't know how Arum Cantus configures their G1, and I have not heard it so I cannot say if it is their "best" pure HF driver rather tha...

Allo
Well, my baffles are for a vertical array. A friend of mine built a "clone" of the Nola Grand reference and got a very good deal on the G1 ribbons... will send you a PM.Don't be pissed about me keeping you in the dark regarding the ribbons; you...

Romy, of course I frame my remarks according to how I "understand" the issue at a given point, ie., dialog. If your response helped me to undersatnd your idea of this problem any better, then it seems to go back to the ...

[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 with first order can not deal with dynamics of S2 driver. [/quote]I suspect that my RAAL Lazy Ribbon does not have as much lower frequency output as your RAAL Waterdrop. RAAL refused...

G'Day Rowuk,Thanks so much for the quick replyThe drivers were recommended by the person who made the cabinets. All three are supposed to be quite well regarded.Initially, the project was just going to be 2 x 10" and the Beyma tweeter, which in itsel...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...

Thanks, Greg
[quote user="Greg B"] Cap and L-pad resistor quality is critical even in the cheaper models. [/quote]
I do not use any L-pad resistors with tweeters. If you need to reduce the tweeter output I drop the caps and move the tweeter up at t...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

I kind if cycle my attention on the notion of compression and it is not accidental. When a few years ago I used the hugely dymick NT51 tweeter in my car I experienced problem to set the right volume and I run the volume control 10 times more fre...
|

It is complicated. Any tweeter is different and the RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter is more different then others. Almond any other tweeters that I heard this tweeter has something absolutely unique- it has no annoying upper MF nose. When I asked Alex to...

[quote user="mark"] just would like to clarify the cost of this ribbon,xfmr. etc.the figure of 2600us$ is that for tweeter pr. only or complete with the xfmr.?i got a quote of 4000 euros +300 ship in jan./08.has the material cost risen dramaticly sin...

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

[quote user="cv"]How are you crossing over the SA tweeter?[/quote]
Currently I cross them with second order at 12K, near Bessel Q, but not exactly. I did not play with crossover trying to tube it more precisely. It turn out the my driver was too “fr...

A few things I would like to say in context of Pham’s playback.
I will leave his infatuation with turntables alone – man like to collect turntables and he within his constitutional right to do whatever makes him happy. The problem that I see ...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

I was playing today with Stage Acompany SA 8535 Ribbon driver. It is truly 103dB sensitive little monster with crazily large 3 poll Neodymium magnet. I did listen the driver and there are some things that I like in it and there are some that I do not...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I lately have some reasons to think about optimum requirements for SET’s out transformer if the amp handles juts a narrows bandwidth. For instance let pretend that we have 2 monoblock and each of them drive: LF <10...

Andy,
I do not know how aggressive roll-off on obsolete values as I never cared to calibrate my analyzer/microphone above 10K. Well, it was calibrated a few years back but I never trusted to it as I do not see needs for above 20K lineriarity from li...

Hi Romy,I think you may be struggling to get 10-12db of gain out of a spud amp (the term is a play on "one tuber").... May just about get it with 6C45.... remember you will be stepping down something like 12 to 18:1 on the OPT.best case: 10db require...

Haralanov, as far as I know, Madisound does not offer my ribbon. Mine is not a stock Fountek, but it is a re-worked version of the old, discontinued Fountek JP2, a very narrow "naked" ribbon (ie,. no coating), and 97+ dB efficient. I got my Audaphon ...

Hi Romy,I agree its a relief to hear finally someone describing something. Because all the mysterious dust around it makes one really curious :) And you cant hear them anywhere.So i got really "tensioned". Finally... and id like to share about it. As...

Romy, yes it is an interesting subject and one that I have thought quite a bit about although not directly from the angle from which you are approaching it.One of Macondos great strengths is narrow directivity from high frequencies all the way down t...
