I just found this thread and can comment on the Enabled DX4s. Limono (Wojtek) very gratiously loaned his Enabled 8 ohm Lowther DX4 drivers to me this past summer (summer of 2008). It took my a while to make the crossover for these (I have...

The Enable patterns are efficient on a loudspeaker membrane because there is a strong structural coupling of the transversal sound waves in the membrane it self and the additional mass and damping of the spots.In this case the situation is different,...

The matter of serious musicians endorsing playback is a completely separate subject that has very little to do with audio. Regarding the amplification and large complex music – this is not only amplification. I wish I could have an amp that would do ...

Romy,How about putting bass tower #2 directly behind#1, but facing the opposite direction from #1? This would keep #2 away from the turntable, yield a symmetrical setup and enable #2 to energize the hot spot around your chair.Note, I'm not sure whic...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do feel that a playback sound has to be built first...The way how I trained myself is to disconnect channels. While I was making Macondo, installing it, moving it and experimenting with it I was frequently disconnecting c...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In the few converstaions I've had with him, Mike seems totally sincere and, as I've mentioned before, I very much hope he will one day come through.jd*[/quote]Well Jessie, it looks like your wish has come true. The Vitavox...

I know it is a difficult subject but as it has to do less with audio but more with life priorities. Still, the practice indicates that the short-wall installations for acoustic systems of the topology that Steve is trying to make will never work. Sur...

The old Dynaquad system involved using the L-R difference signal, but produced at speaker level across a pair of rear speakers (L-R in one and R-L in the other.)Decware has one amp (the "Taboo") that can be operated in what they call "lucid mode" whe...

[quote user="drdna"] And the explorations that led you from the original Melquiades to this current set-up are well-documented over a period on months. Still, it might be instructive (to me at least) to hear concisely stated your dissatisfactio...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I mean that EQ is a fine “tactical solution” but it a very bad strategic direction. [/quote]
I guess the question of the strategic value is dependent on the strategy.[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Look, there ar...

Well, the points you bring up are valid but as anything else it all highlight problems with people not with equipment. I am not sure that I am glad with my decisiveness and sanity in MiniMe projects. I was trying to rationalize the MiniMe idea in the...

No, the 1443 is also a field coil, just a different voltage.Re: the configuration - indeed; I am hoping to get 300Hz with the RCA, then the S2 from between 1k-1500 and up, + tweeter. Below the RCA willbe a compromise to begin with, but hope...

As I mentioned above, I talked to the manager of Fane International and asked for further assurances in writing that these new drivers would use exactly the same parts as the vintage drivers. I am quoting from the email, and I hope this will provide...

I have ongoing project going for a while. I guy in Europe built for me 18-cell 183Hz horn for S3 driver. It is not that I am a huge Multicell fan, quite opposite but for sun 1.000Hz channel I think it might work. In addition I wanted to have Exponent...

Scooter, I know what you ask. I wish I have a cleared time to deal with audio. Unfortunately since my move I am engaged into a chain of events that has nothing to do with audio and that I do not particularly enjoy, but I need to do it now. This stupi...

This is very interring subject for me to think about. I even mounted 901 on another arm of mine as I would like to explore this topic more. Even though Jubilee is not broken-in yet but it is clearly that it has “less bass”, that last sensational “spa...

I no doubt fall into the category of the 70%. My playback has not been as satisfying as I would like. Many of us do not know where to turn when we hit a brick wall with extracting the best results. The default reaction is to look for a piece of equ...

I got today my second PP2000. This was the worst sounding unit, the one that I used for over 2 year, was fine then was upgraded to the new version and lost it sound. The first fix of the upgraded unit was not successful but this last one looks like m...

Since Pacific lost it’s battle to Lavry AD122 as AD converter I was wondering what I might do with this possessor. My initials sentiment was to sell but Pacific to my large surprise turned out to be a very good CD-level DAC. In fact it is so good 16B...

Yes, that's exactly the "cable forklift" I was referring to. You really don't want to go 24' with one, but that is not a concern for you. The lifting cable is scary thin, and the thing is a wild ride at its load limit! Unless they've changed the d...

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...
