Sorry, I do not share your sentiments with those 3 reasons. Below are my reasons.
[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Three reasons:
1) To try high passing your upper-MF channel (S2 > 400Hz horn) above the 1250Hz secondary resonance assiciated ...

Well, I expected more. It was in short.
In the longer version it would be like this. Valery Gergiev brought LSO in Boston for a single concert with Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto by Alexi Volodin and with Prokofiev’s Firth Symphony. Volodin make a lot...

I always quite laugh when the Audio Morons ™, overwhelmed with zillion-dollars-worth audio installations and with primitive sound in their room, answer my questions: What you guys doing? Those people are under mistaking impression that they do High E...

Paul, thank you for your input![quote user="Paul S"]I think with the SUT the "dynamic" loading the cartridge "sees" may swamp the choice of wire metal. Once the loading is dialed in, silver might be nice. [/quote]Yes Paul, absolutely agree--the ele...

In this section I will brief cover operational parameters of Purepower 2000 regenerator. I do not have a lot of fun to write this section but I feel that for sake of objectivity it is necessary. Also the next section – the sonic observations - might ...

[quote user="yoshi"]Well, my wording may not be right. What I meant by "integrity of harmonics" is more like "integrity of space where harmonics are presented", which I do not hear in CD/LPs.[/quote]
What "live" analog FM does with space is ab...

First off, I will point out that neither Silbatone nor I claim or agree that the Aporia horn is a point source, because clearly it is not. The sound comes from two "areas" but even that is not a particularly useful notion.Although some do make that c...

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 talked for a couple of hours today with a local Solar Power technician, I sort of told him all the gear I have that would need to run on batteries and we got a shaky number; from that number he started calculating a bunch of panels and batteries a...

[quote user="morricab"] You are also right that to get everything you want from an output transformer requires a VERY expensive construction and top materials. However; even an expensive transformer is no guarantee of success. [/quote]

I think this post need to have an epigrapher:
“We knew what we wanted to hear, and so we developped, and developped, and developped... In hundreds of small and bigger steps. Over thirty years. Till we were "there" where we always wanted ...

ah forgot. Have some measures to give you an idea. First, this is an (what i use as good budget replacement for the TAD2002 tweeter) a JBL LE85/ 2420 in that trumpet. Green is a „normal“ horn response for comparison. Red is the JBL 2312 trumpet: [url...

That is the way the System works. Not the customer is the goal (he is only the tool who brings the money), the reviewer is the one to go for. The reviewer guarantees the success of a product (in general). Valin for example is known to be among the mo...

It is even hard to critique because it is beyond of being ignorant of stupid. The John E. Johnson’s review of Lamm L2 preamp in the “Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity”. Below are the fragments of the John E. Johnson’s pearls… Each quoted stat...

[quote user="JOHNR"]One of the things that I picked up in this thread is the fact that if you use 2 PSUs in series, the sound degrades.This is typical of one unit generating common mode noise and this adds to that produced by the second unit.Even if ...

[quote user="N-set"]Sorry for being naive, but may gathering spectral fingerprints of the electricityduring bad and good days give something? Perhaps after N samples some pattern might emerge, although I guess nobody knows what to look for.[/quote]Ac...

OK, I should have done this back when I first thought of it; basically, if I had a tail, I'd wag it: Twisted cotton-wrapped POCC silver and urethane-coated POCC copper with WBT silver Next-Gen connectors; 4 wires/cable; 1 25.5 ga. Cu and 1...

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

Folks,A maker of Magnetics reading along has taken me privatly a little to task, it seems I was not clear enough with some of my statements, apologies.First, I seemingly stated that Amorphous material was "always iron", that was not my intention, amo...

First, the Fifth: The first movement is indeed a stunner, nothing comes close. For the rest, I can line up competition. But no matter! The "live" aspect trumps all.The Met, indeed, had its moments but was not a keeper.The Traviata was terrific! Even ...

Today, at Mravinsky's birthday I publish a good article by Rob Barnett: the Classical Editor of the UK-based http://www.musicweb.uk.net. Rob gives a brief observation of the 20 CDs Melodia's box-set with Mravinsky's recordings.

[quote user="N-set"]Romy, may I ask you why you've employed an autobias on 6E5Pin Milq's MF rather than your biasing technique (if there is any reason at all)?[/quote]If you look at the page #13 of the Milq DHT thread then you will see that the first...

(Romy feel free to move this post)[quote user="Paul S"]N-set, I understand you do not mean to hijack the thread with the Axiom, so I actually tried to make generic and/or thread-related observations. I don't know the 6E5P, but generic issues with sp...

Brass instruments function much differently than audio horns. First of all they are built extremely resonant by mismatching length and horn taper. The taper of the bell is there not for horn type efficiency, rather to change the acoustical length of ...

I find that one of the most interning and stimulating ideas that you expressed was your experience with your bass horn
