[quote user="jweiss"] When we spoke at CES, you mentioned that your experience with field coil drivers only extended to cone types. So I assume that you have never heard any field coil compression drivers. That would include the WE 555, 594, RCA 1428...

I have to admit that I was experimenting last night with Pacific’s Low Level Extension and it was not bad at all. It would not be my last words as I would need the whole system up and running to see what is going on – the region where the Low Level E...

AND
- 48.000- 96.000- 192.000

My tastes in audio slowly but irreversibly migrate out of the “common audiophile sense”. Years ago I met some people form NY and Chicago, the former classical radio-station employees, the people with encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of m...

[quote user="manisandher"] This is very interesting and something that I have not noticed. Because I cannot double the clock frequency going into the Weiss AFI1, I have tended to ignore playing/recording 4fs files. But, I've kept the second AES/E...

[quote user="oxric"]Hi Romy:
I have been following your mid-bass horn project with a mixture of fascination and horror for a little while and am awed by the remarkable amount of creative thinking that has gone into it.

…and since it is in LL line I presume that it might be right along with LL2 Preamp – not particularly interesting preamp. In other words it is most likely the “positively expected” and “might be interesting” continuation of the L1 and L2 line.
