OK, back up on the diode horse again...I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but I tried the "super quiet" Stealth diodes only out of curiosity, based on a very soft "recommendation" from Jeff at SonicCraft, and I did not throw away the Schottky...

Actually Jorge brought a valid perspective: the HF that are crossed at 5K are not the same as HF that are crossed at 10K. The point is that in a playback that crossed at 5K one can’t talk about HF as a self contained expressive tool as in that type c...

My room, is 16 to 17 feet wide, 27 to 28 feet long by 12 to 14 feet high with all walls splayed, with a combination of absorption and diffusion on the walls. All electronics are fed electricity by three pure power units originally recommended by Rom...

[quote user="Stitch"]One of my audiophile Friends did it the only way a real man has to do (he had a HUGE stereo System with 2 big monos and fat cables everywhere in his living room)He showed that his girlfriend (they married btw.) and said to her:"Y...

[quote user="Stitch"] None of these owners bought it because they can hear a difference, they are absolutely not interested in that and they have absolutely no idea about it!! They bought it as a toy and to get a position in an audiophile community a...

Yesterday there was the worst I can remember in my long-lasting with electricity. I mean it was not just bad it was beyond any description. My preamp has 126 steps (near a db per click) and during an average electricity day I listening it at 50-60 sl...

Guy, here some unconnected comments that you might find worth considering. They are in no order or importance, just random thoughts.
1) Talking and describing about horn we shall always mention at least 5 mandatory characteristics

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

Scooter, thank you for the warnings. I already own O2 MkI for +/-2 yrs and got to know them a bit. As I said I do not like headphones in generalbut I have no other choice. I own 2 more staxes: Sigma and Lambda Pro and Omega can do things others canno...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will say plainly that I still prefer the sound from relaxed SET and old paper drivers; but this preference is obviated/swamped by "real world listening" to big, complex Music, where, IMO, SETs and old radio drivers loose their ...

YAWN...wake me up when the war is over...If you can't relate to individual personal enjoyment as an ultimate goal of audio, sorry Bud, I can't help ya.I doubt you like what I like or listen to what I listen to. I'm a blues harmonica player. Since my ...

I have been doing some work with integration of tapped horns. I have discovered some interesting things that are not being discussed on any other forums. I’ll start at the beginning so a full picture will be clear. At first I placed the tapped ho...

Hi Be,the thread is about the "bad" reputation horns have with "audio" people. Applying liquid dynamics gives them more fuel for the fire, that is why I avoid using stuff that really doesn't apply. We have no real flow of air or "turbulence" in a hor...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

Yes, I agree. If the output of the fundamentals-channel is controlled via the slopes in the crossover, the opportunity to set the output on a recording-to-recording basis is lost. If one, however, has the output of the fundamentals-channel ...

1: If it is not patently obvious to W that Romy is far from enamored with what I hypothetically propose, then it would seem that W is grievously wanting in terms of intellect, a more troublesome failing in the world at large than errant taste in loud...

Okay, today I hooked it up and have spend some time listening. The change in my system was very dramatic and positive. First of all, it seems suddenly like a good electricity day. The noise floor dropped out. The timbre of the music and the body ...

[quote user="joaco"]Romy , I don´t think this is a typical ups unit , but a little more advanced than a typical ups . I think typical UPS does not have double-conversion , at least here in Chile . Note that Pure Power claims "via double conversion te...

Why not? Wilson for many years each 2-3 years updates own flagman. They had Grand Slamm’s number of revisions where they constantly change tweeters, other driver and resistors in crossovers, introducing new rounds of opportunities for the custome...

Romy, thanks, as usual, you seem to have been right. The system is on and I just checked V2 voltage; its way off, above .4VDC, so I grabbed a hot pad from the kitchen and rocked the V2 tube. The socket made the familiar a dry creaking sound and see...

I think this topic is very very interesting to me and it is a opportunity those 90% audiophiles (like josh) think more about their objectives .I have pointed it many times in my weblog that romy recommendations (both methods and components) can not h...

Marc Mickelson always was one of the heroes of audio propaganda – he always was able to load a maximum cargo of “strategic information” to the readers without being insulting to anyone and without too obvious demonstration of his real intentions. I r...

I am checking now a "redbook" Mahler CD that I have that should "change your mind", if you have the digital chain to unleash it. OK, it is Mahler 3 by the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Synfoniorhcester, Koln, under Semyon Bychknov. Try this and hear what yo...

I must say that I have always thought the Cardas "Golden Ratio" schtick was pretty lame. So it was with no small measure of trepidation that I sent off a rather outlandish sum of money for two Cardas Golden Whatever 4.7 uF caps for th...

Rakesh, I think you take it all wrong and I think you need to perform some degaussing from my site. You created for yourself a cardboard cutout of ideas that I describe at my site but it is not what it is. Macondo Axioms are not set of rules but a di...

Oh well I tried. I though I was clearly asking some easy questions about two similar drivers and the small details of what makes them sound different.
I obviously did not do a good job at this.I thought Romy being very familiar with the S2 and also...

[quote user="Paul S"]So what are we to make of a product like the ML2 amps (using them here only as an example, not a topic)? I have to say I more or less took a flyer on these, since I never heard them in a system I could stand befor...
