For instance the 2A3 has no tungsten cathodes and therefore its cathode might be “poisoned” in time if it was not properly pre-burned and some other methods were not taken care. Those methods are expensive but they ...

[quote user="peter foster"]The station that I most listen to is 105.9 MHz that broadcasts from one location 50 miles away at 100kW power and that is detected by 2 FM aerials mounted as a parallel array with rotator and ~ 40 feet of coaxial cable to t...

Hello Rony,
No, I've never heard a DB Systems-modified AirPort Express.
You might start by buying AirPort Express from Apple (89€); this should give you some insight... If you sense it has further potential, then (since you are in France) you could...

Yes yes yes .... Lamm Industries is a BUSINESS... This is abundantly clear whenever I order tubes from them!
But the most desirable of Lamm's past creations are not the kind of things born solely of a desire to make money.
I understand Lamm's ...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Did you use LEAP or anything like that, or just cross everything over 1st order as a guess, and tune by ear? [/quote]
Oh, no. I do not use any LEAPs or others tools, no time domain analyses or anything like this – the...

Hi Romy,I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone. It is the sound of what it is (or its gestalt). The ideal speaker...

I do not blame John Atkinson specifically. He is not better or worse than any other his idiot-colleges. Take a look the level of the moronity this time John Atkinson allows himself to fell. In his “review” of Lamm M2.1:

Adrian: Well, Romy,
it is just as I said, I have the same experience with Michelle. She can
very clearly tell the difference, and can always correctly identify
which is which, but relates to it more as "the humidity is high and they

[quote user="danvprod"]My objective is to create a system that is able to emotionally re-create music in a powerful and realistic way. My greatest memories are playing in orchestras and sitting in the middle of the violin section with a hundred o...

[quote user="IslandPink"]Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter between the bass/mid horn and the Mid/HF horn ?

Dear Romy,Assuming that your questions are "honest" ones ( I have no reason to believe they are traps, like it happened to me before with a certain Mr. Thor), I will give you "honest" answers, hoping that our dialogue will be of some interest to the ...

[quote user="drdna"]As I had been looking at all these tubes I began to also inspect their interior construction. This will amuse you: one thing I would do is to hold the tube right up to my ear so the glass would be touching and thus mostly damped. ...

[quote user="decoud"] It seems there is broad agreement here with what I take to be Romy's position, which is that one cannot have a sophisticated understanding of music reproduction if one does not have a sophisticated knowledge of music. [/quote]

Ok... Assuming the lack of time alignment is compensated for via a DSP:
There are likely large chunks of the frequency spectrum that go un addressed, and equally large chunks that are mall-addressed.
I would say that there are two main ranges ...

Here are some commentaries regarding my “End of Life" Phonostage.
