Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

The 7th Channel will use absolutely different principles. However, the person who is working now on the Macondo 7th Channel started years back by experimenting with Flanagan’s Neurophone idea. It was actually the idle query. I did not use the Neuroph...

I would like to make an interesting announcement. T is high possible that Macondo soon will have another, the 7the channel. Now it ...

[quote user="Andy Simpson "]Not recreate the performance but only the mechanical stimulus at the ear….[/quote] Well, if my project with the Macondo 7th Channel will go successfully then I would very battle this notion of “stimulus for the ears”.

From today’s email:
Question: “…. As my audio system has improved over the years I have found myself continually wanting for something that I could not place my finger on. I suspect that really good sound sytems do too much for our brains and the in...

Last nigh I spend a couple hours to listening this thing. Since the amp is done in design phase and the final parts are still in order I can not finish it and close up – it kind of frustrating… Still, it gives opportunities to listen it knowing that ...

To my surprise I got a lot of inquiries about the future Macondo’s 7th channel. I say surprise because I do not particularly feel that people truly understand what Macondo is all about. I have written a page dedicated to Macondo

Well, I loved, loved it loved it… but today I decided to experiment with integration the new horn into the system and learned that it would be far much complicated and take more efforts. Below are 3 sweeps form listening position, Firs is the new hor...

Great analyses, David, thanks. I can’t concur as now with anything. Macondo in the room with midbass horn was a complex installation and with ULF it became even more complex. Some of the things I setup by ear and do not use measurements, I just know ...

Well, I was thinking about that “Resonating Oops” for a while. I made quite a number of experiments. I some cases I was able to get interesting results but the “Resonating Oops” is very illusive. I do know that many readers of my site have wrong perc...

Ok, I do not know what it was: was it DHT, was it 300B, was it some other specifics of this given amp or whatever… but those two aspects that I named: intentional density of colors and randomness of pace are something that I would like to exercise in...

Yes. I’m exiting to see how the new horn I shaping up. Still I do not think that it is about second orders. Obviously in context of 5 channels system, the more channels one gets then less room between them. I still feel...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, What happens when you use the injection channel with inverted polarity?[/quote] Unsuccessful. My Injection Channel (Tannoy 10” Red) is too with bandwidth and even at minus 10db is “talks” with HF channel of Macondo, which do...

I hope these friends of mine who clamed that that stupid Denon M31 might play music will read this post. After of a 3 weeks or living with Macondo I found myself having no radio. My portable playback, that does very well, is on my work. I do no...

After many hours and much efforts I have connected the new 6-channels Super Milq to my 6-channels Macondo, with omission of tweeters for now. I made some measurements and initial adjustments and then was trying to listen it briefly. I did not l...

Back to 2006 I had a thread “Adding one more spherical to Macondo.” The thread itself and the concept that it lead to - the Fundamentals Channel - turned to be a phenomenal success. I know, I know for someone it might appear like nothing but if y...

Eventually the right channel of the last revision of the 6-Channel Super Melquiades is complete. It has the new dedicated power supplies for single-stage amplifiers, the 600V Schottky rectification for 200V line and 1200V Schottky for 400V lines, the...

Yes, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures. I would not say that they overly specifically optimized. I did many optimizations equalizing them, filtering them but I never was able to ...

I did not expect that it would be so much work with the new “fundamental channel”. The new 250Hz horns required some help to correct some problems, plus they have to be finished in a civilized fashion and color. However, the biggest problem is positi...

While the left channel of Macondo is out full-time service (while I am redoing my left Milq’s MF channel) I have been listening MiniMe for weeks. The MiniMe is in the stage how I let if a couple month back: I did not fine-tune the port and used in cr...
