I don't want to hurt your feelings but this is a confusing set of questions; maybe you might spend some quality time thinking what your audio problems and end goals are. Some useful examples (and their evolution) are scattered throughout this site. N...

. . .but the angle of the study / conclusions likely are slanted to support Harman's marketing effort to sell more gear. That was my take-away when I read them a while back. ...

Flipping the idea horizontal for testing with ports through outside windows on (e.g. on left and right side of room) would make this a relatively easy test and vs. holes in roof and floor....

Can we move this subtle publicity to the advertising section?...

N-Set,That is a really interesting point for designs going forward; one step further would be to vary different materials for each layer. Microsoft Excel has an easy random number generator to automate the thickness calculations. Actually getting tru...

This was noted on the Yahoo FMtuners site and is an interesting, fast read on compression at WCRB:http://www.thebdr.net/articles/audio/proc/ClassicalAudio.pdf...

Hi Paul,SPL out of Germany seems to have some interesting blending functions on their headphone amplifier. Not sure if they have other products that better suit your needs and didn't look to see if they are doing the processing in the digital or anal...

I had some experience with tape in a professional environment in the early 90s. What initially struck me was sound quality of a few newly made good recordings. However, a significant % of tapes IME over time suffered clear sound quality deterioration...

I did some work for the Madrid theatre in the Plaza del Oriente and they had an interesting system of air conditioning that was virtually silent. A key component was the ducting and specially exit panels.Some of the HVAC technology didn't work when i...

I am in Tokyo now and there are some very large used bookstores. These stock lots of old copies of audio review magazines which have the merit of being in Japanese. The obvious benefit is that most people can easily ignore any reviews or editorials w...

Thanks for taking the time to post this timbre dialog; most informative essay I have read all year. It also bridges the photography link, one I didn't fully appreciate previously. Good luck topping this one. . ....

Maybe, but from a practical perspective, theory can be pretty useless as the listening experience is the cumulation of many factors. My experience (if you care) is that at lower frequencies, room modes get increasingly more difficult to address but ...

This is a very interesting post Romy; thanks for putting this together and providing sample files. Looks like bad electricity is stuffing pillows into brass and covering strings with shellac. Or is it?* On the first chart I thought it would be intere...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Thos who do not know how audio sound during the Super Electricity Days they do not know. I do know and I wonder: are the Super Electricity Days have own after-mark. I kind of pissed that it did not hit me early as I might w...

I remember seeing this echowars guy all over the boards with respect to vfet amp work. I don't know his work and don't remember where he is located but might be worth pinginghttp://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45419&highlight=b-2 htt...

Indeed, this is a reference to how important electricity might be. After last night, I almost feel as though my equipment is a much less important factor and takes a backseat to everything else. At this stage, I am thinking it makes sense to park my ...

Great news on the PurePower front. I wasn't sure you would ever reach this stage.I would think PurePower should just use #2 unit as the exact blueprint for their PP2000 going forward although see two main obstacles: 1) Like everyone else, PurePower m...

Over the past decades several serious people/firms have looked into using flywheels to store energy but that didn't really get too far. If I recall correctly, key challenges included forming round bearings in earth's gravity/wear on the bearings (sig...

If PurePower successfully reconfigures the PP2000, which looks possible although not certain, 2010 should be categorized as a great year. Else, you made some good forward progress and need to do a deep power dive. As this system will be evolving into...

It would be great if PP has perfect engineering notes on the different versions in general and the exact changes just made to your original unit in particular. While they may have a general record or notions of the changes I am not sure you should ex...

Wine barrel woofers win the aesthetic prize of 2010 irrespective of sound. Come to think of it, this room looks has the feel/lighting of typical wineries in Jerez (Spain). Do you have some details on how you approached the barrel project from a desig...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Scooter, I wonder how many people among those who propose those modifications do understand what they deal with when we are taking about a more or less properly reproduced sub 30Hz signal. It sounds like arrogant comment, n...
