[quote user="Mark Donahue"]Mani, Yes, the files were created using the HDCD Model 1 AD converter and you will actually get improved audio if your DA converter properly decodes the HDCD (Even at 88.2 kHz /24 bit!) There is information about the filter...

I connected the loudspeaker to check if the music was flowing from it. The amplifier works !!! I hear the music!!!
I'm exhausted.

Got today a December 2010 PS Audio Newsletter with an announcement from Paul McGowan:

Yes, Jim, you put it very well. Still in case of the 6C33C it only possible to cool the glass and I made experiments blowing a strong flow to the glass and it did cool down the plates. The problem is that it is not a good idea to apply a strong flow ...

[quote user="oxric"]Hi Romy,First of all, as things stand in the sketch, the mast sits atop the legs, a horribly precarious position given the weight that will be applied away from the centre of mass of the structure. This sketch is an early ...

Hi Romy,I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my CD player ups...

Romy, Just a few notes.... I did use the term "crappy" in the connection with the tonearm in an ironic sense. Have you lived so long among US Americans you lost your sense of irony? Also, i do not suggest crappy Phonostages, merely ones with low inpu...

Hi, gravetones
I asked myself the same question many time and even bought a few years back one of the APC on-line power supply. It is unquestionable that PurePower is an adaptation of a regular commercial on-line power regenerator and all that...

[quote user="tuga"]I really meant to illustrate the fact that Point Source does not exist in "real life" and that it's analogy with a single driver makes no sense (then there is the question of live vs. recorded-and-then-reproduced sound and live sou...

John Sheerin? I have come across what this character does on-line. I am not familiar with him personally but I am NOT a big fun of what he does. He moves his hands in space and sometimes as the resume of his hands moment some horn are built up. H...

The subject of electromagnetic, or as they called field-coil drivers, popped up at my site numerous times. (Look as it list of related threats). The advances or shortcomings of electromagnetic drivers are arguable, I have my vision, but it is not the...

It is interesting how my audio interests enter something that I call "design mode". The Design Mode is not really a state of being but rather a state or interaction between sound reproduction and me.
As I said before I seldom think in term of...

[quote user="JLH"] One of the things that is not talked about with tapped horns is they are more directional than a normal subwoofer. They do not excite the entire room with omnidirectional sound. [/quote]
John,

Looking at the pictures of CES I came across a new Seoul-based company Silbatone Acoustics that show off a new speaker “APORIA” in Vegas. It is a back-loaded Manger.
What I read the company philosophy I was not pleased.

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...

This thread is derivation from the Collin’s post:

[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...

Ok, I blamed the tweeters and MF drivers now the turn of the MF horns. The Mid Frequency Horns (I’ll them “MFH” from now and on) are the stinky like pieces of horn installations, and if they are not done correct then they screw up anything big time T...

I wrote about it many many times but it keep shook me, primary because it very much violates all intellectual provision I can extend against what I am saying. Today FM again flew my socks off and it was not special FM but objectively crappy FM.
