Via Mengelberg’s performance of Ein deutsches Requiem, Philips CD
Perhaps it’s possible for someone to “get” Brahms’ Ein deutsches
Requiem by way of a table radio. Speaking for myself, I only got hints that way,
and it wasn’t until I took speci...

I did notice the platforms, and I figured it was something like this, since we've all heard the feedback loop that can happen, and we learn "what not to do" that way. Regarding your TT loosing LF atop a platform, I wrote here about my CD transport be...

Another giant attic for IB ULF! That can't have happened by chance! Am I the only one who wonders about parking the amps on the woofers?Best regards,Paul S...

Romy, I actually feel a little sheepish that my process did not include a multi-media map for others to follow, if they choose to, although Troels already did a great job of exactly that. I did post construction pictures and explanations on Troels Gr...

Weird, I realize, but this speaker project included a
mental exercise about “proper” playback for Bruckner 7”, how to facilitate hearing
and figuring out what is going on with that Music. As ever, I turned different
speaker and amp ideas aroun...

|
Wow, Romy, what a fraught time! You seem to have (somehow) focused on your sound system and narrowed things down to a tweeter, or at least some viable way to add "color". While you were talking, I was thinking that your S2s actually go pretty high, m...

It seems like many speakers that might be acceptabe at low to mid volume with simple music begin to compress and otherwise screw up when "pushed", either dynamically or with more complex music. Of course, plenty of people really have no use for speak...

"High-efficiency electrostatic speakers"??? Is this not an oxymoron? My friend, Mark, who sometimes visits and posts in this form, has gigantic Sound Lab 'stats. He hates SS, and he uses VTL Wotan tube amps to drive them, 1.200W per channel, and it p...

Jarek, it's the biggest thing he's done, as far as I know, dubbed... "The Loudspeaker". Hence, the title for the thread... He went on to do successively smaller versions, the TLII and the TLIII.http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/The-Loudspeaker.htmBest reg...

Romy, are you thinking I am running a center channel now? I am not. I am just running the new stereo speakers, right and left. I had already decided that I wasn't going for the center channel before I went this way, for all the reasons I cited. I mad...
|

OK, Romy, maybe more like, the presence of Music. I felt like I was getting good sound, but I wanted more of it, with "an expanding sense of it", including better "center fill". We have talked here about the technical/electrical problems inherent in ...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
building a ver...

What s/he listens to, what s/he listens for, how s/he
listens, and what s/he hears will be the main concerns of the advanced audio
practitioner, and any “rules” come from and serve this approach. The big advantages
and opportunities offered by...

Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integrated, synergistic sy...
|
|
Of course, bad sound might well be because of components that are inherently bad-sounding. And there might be any sort of reason or reasons for bad sound, and it might not be the fault of the component or the exhibitors in question, and it can be har...

It's lurked in the back of my mind that the information in this site is not permanent, and when that thought flits by I've been aware of the value I place on the dialog, music and audio focused (and miscelaneous) thoughts and humor of a rag-tag group...

Of course apartments are among worst cases in terms of noise on the ground. I understand and sympathize that there are situations where it is either impossible or extremely difficult to install bleeder ground rods and wires. In any case, there is alw...

All that has been discussed at length many times this board. It seems that people continue to confuse neutral and ground, and I agree that it is confusing. Basically, any commercial "power company" power grid supply in the US will be grounded at a se...

Sure, it would be nice to get repeatable results because one knows what to treat and how to treat it. But didn't most PP users at GSC simply fall back on, "it sounds better"? The reasons I never bought one are: 1) I don't trust PP as a company to ac...

|
Alex, do we know yet whether it's "corrected electricity" or some sort of dither that works the treat for hi-fi sound? From all I've read here, and from my own experience, "corrected" electricity can still have sonic problems via a hi-fi, and the out...

On the one hand, it's hard to believe people would pay this guy for his wares, given he "explains/justifies" it as he does, let alone pay the sums he asks for the goods he sells. On the other hand, this creating and sustaining of a nonsensical fog of...

I do not understand from what you said the sorts of problems you are dealing with. What are you using as high and low-pass X/Os. Where and how you cross the drivers can make huge differences in the sound. Also, how did you throttle back Macando to ma...

Robin, this is The Dream, is it not? How Nice, and If Only. I remember when Romy was deciding on a phono cartridge, and I was getting very strongly that he did not really want a "hard tracing" cartridge, because he really did not want to have to re-s...
|

I long suppposed the whole thing hinged on a sort of dither effect, like the PurePower thingee. And I think this is at least some of what happens with "injection channels", including the root concept of what we are actually discussing in this thread...

Edgar, not sure how long you've been at FM, but there is an FM board here at GSC that sould give you some food for thought. As ever, some things stay the same, and other things have changed. For instance, analog has changed to digital, but the weirdn...

Great Stuff!!! Rupert Sheldrake and his ilk did similar experiments years ago, where iron ws put into plankton laden seawater, and tlankton at another, far-away boat registered the iron instantly. So much for the "drag" of water. Not sure all this st...

The closest to date I overlapped cones and horns myself was waaaay back in my time with Altec A7s. But I have since then and up to now heard many fine "hand-offs" from cone to horn, and my current project speakers hand-off cone to (very fast/short) h...

To my ears, the right piano in the right hands can be very rich in harmonics. Although the harmonics are produced differently than, say, wind instruments, they certainly share characteristics with stringed instruments. I guess it gets down to blowing...

Wow, thanks, Robin! You have made quite clear and intersesting for me what is obviously clear and interesting for you.When thinking of expression via the trumpet, I recall Miles Davis, also Dizzy Gillespe, whose (almost unbelievable) highest highs se...
