Years ago, when I visited the Cogent guys, Rich was working on one of their big drivers. The diaphragm was big and even thick and heavy, as compression driver diaphragms go. Of course they used 300B amps, and the bottom end had the "sewer pipe" type ...

Maybe Romy could move the specifically Audiopax posts to an Audiopax News thread, rather than this 2015 THE audio show thread?Best regards,Paul S...

OK, I am letting go of the idea that I will ever build a working center channel, and I am selling the MA-9 S2 I bought for that purpose. As I mentioned in my initial posts in this thread, I got it from a Hollywood sound producer who kept perfect care...

Sounds pretty smart to me, when they start with a "signature sound" that "works", yet they want some more attention, to do what they've done and tell it like they've told it, pretty much, "more of the same, only better". So many companies ultimately ...

I seem to remember that we've covered somewhere the sonic benefits of SET at lower frequencies, but I guess I never really thought of ULF as "bass", per se. If someone ever comes up with an SET that can be an effective part of an AuraSound circuit, ...

No, machining still requires expensive machinery and some chops, and further it needs to be a coherent part of a pre-engineered whole. It really isn't like one can find the parts on shelves, assemble them, and wind up with something sonically viable,...

The thing with building turntables is, if you use a stethoscope and your ears, there is some "serious" machining involved that requires not only expensive, complicated machine tools, but people who know how to use them. Generally, this stuff is not h...

The way the "spec sheets" on high end items read tell something about the approach taken by the "manufacturer". Often they approach designing something difficult, like a turntable, as a series of obstacles to be overcome, so the project winds up firs...

Regardless of how much something costs, buyers like to think they are "getting something for the money". In this case, of course, the buyer needs to be think this is "the best" TT, at least for long enough for the check to clear. What does "the bes...

Anthony, looking again at a possible least approach for upstream gain for your developmental stage, I thought the Burson "discreet" OpAmps were often used as "substitutes" for more typical SMD type op amps, and therefore SMD compatible. Since I don'...

While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms? So far, results I've he...

Another Industry Staple is using a Flagship as something like a "spinner" attached to the hook on the end of a fishing line. With the Yvette roll out we hear for the first time that - up to now - Wilson's smaller speakers were - intentionally - ...

Do I remember that a big part of Romy's choice for a pre-amp was based on the specific needs of his DSET Milq, with it's inter-stage X/Os? And do I remember the Placette Active Pre-amp has consistent, fully buffered 10R out?...

The May 2018 Stereophile helps to roll out Wilson's new, "smaller" Yvette speaker. Though I did not get much from the review I was interested to read that Wilson (finally) intends this "smaller" speaker to be qualitatively like its big speakers, and ...

Nothing wrong with following along or "copying" "good ideas", as long as the seeker already has an internal "reference" that serves as a sort of navigation system or gyroscope that allows for inevitable "gaps" and differences of one stripe or another...

If you believe what you read, THE Show 2019 will happen at the Long Beach Hilton this year, June 7th, 8th, & 9th. OK, maybe if you do not read into what you read. While I actually wish them well, I am not encouraged by the website, and I am dis...

Another major milestone in a very big project, and looking great, by the way!Best regards,Paul S...

Josh, although I think you should have posted your “report”
here, yet I wish you well, and I hope you find what you are looking/listening
for so fervently. I always feel sympathy
for young people who have so much energy and the material resou...
|
|
Anthony, congratulations on getting your project to this point! I mention without referring back to your schematics, I think you will be glad to have test points, along with variable resistors (trim pots) to re-set operating points, as needed, if on...

Yes, Robin, while the whizzer can do higher frequencies, it comes at the cost of ragged response in the mid-range for the typical "full range" driver, and it also simply adds mass that precludes better HF performance that might have been gotten with ...
|
|
I guess it's possible that someone somewhere could get this driver to sing through part of its range. And I admit that it is infuriating to me that people with the speaker construction technology typically build "well-made", bad-sounding drivers base...
|
|
Sure, forget the sales pitch, but some of similar might be good for fairly wide range MF. However, based on the sound sample, it's hard to say much about this one, apart from what looks like an extra load of multiple whizzers at/near the voice coil/f...
|
|
For sure, not everyone consciously guides along and
shapes their overall sound with the hardware they choose, and there are many
variations of the “guiding” to talk about among the people who do guide their
sound development. I would like to s...

Looks like this cable thread is about cables for FM (a particular FM set-up, actually...). And why not, since a given cable will certainly affect the sound we get from our systems according to how we use it? Even the "professional reviewers" unders...
|
|
Well, here's another high-end speaker that's aimed at... well, who knows what they are thinking? Surely their choice of music/program says something about their aesthetics, also how and why they made the choices they did in developing these speake...
|
|
Not sure where you live, but near large cities one can rent "pro" sound equipment. Once you have your end game figured out in terms of architecture you can just plug in the Board, find and note your X/O configurations and values, then make up and in...
|
|
Well, the pros always say, all balanced, and ground everything, and this is the usual short cut to quiet, long cable runs in complex systems. I think Guy H will make something for you if you can explain to him what you want. Again, while one buffer ...
|
|
Gera, what sort of active X/O are you using there, for what sort of music/expectations? Doesn't your X/O have a buffer already? There are plenty of pro solutions that combine the X/O with pre-amp functions, including the ability to drive long IC runs...

Amir, please report methodology and results, whether positive or negative.Again, oscilloscope traces of PP output have been posted in this long thread showing conclusively that PP output is NOT a "perfect sine wave"; rather, they output pulsed square...
