Jessie, I agree in spades. You could play around trying to "tune" that thing for the rest of your life.But then, who is going to hear serious problems with something that was such a pain and expense to build and install?More likely is that...

Anthony, I visited you thread and glance the progress you
are going with Milq DSET. I do not exactly how you feel, I went over it myself.
Let me to tell you how I dealt with what your experience. I am not sure that my
dealing with the problem is a...

It was some 16-17 years ago, a beautiful sunny morning in April, when I was jogging in the local forest. Suddenly out of nowhere massive dark clouds covered the sky and in just a few minutes it began to rain heavily. Then the “Voices of spring” walt...

is the compression driver problem not solved by using multiple drivers all feeding into the same, relatively large throat, eg four 2.5 inch drivers into a 5 inch throat? The idea is that sensitivity to reactance will be much less at lower excursions,...

Yes, I like it too. It is in a way symbolizes a termination of any superficial ambitions… the shallow ambitions that we have so many in our anxiety with RIAA correctors. I assure you that if you heard the “End of Life” then you might understand where...

The single most appalling quality for me is lack of clarity in high-end speakers. It is the first thing I notice when listening to speakers. I have heard many expensive high-end speakers that lack this quality. The music seems to struggle to get ou...

I visit here daily and the motivation is based on a couple of things:1) a view that life including audio is work in process and that we are never finished, rather have times of activity and other times of enjoyment2) a desire to be able to describe t...

[quote user="Telus"]I'd take that bet.Too, I'd raise you this--that is the dumbest analogy I've read in the last 365 days. Congratulations.[/quote] Hm,… and how many $90.000 screwdrivers that do not perform as good as $9 screwdrivers you think you w...

It is kind of nice to see that someone have embraced the
idea of “End of Life Phonostage”. A gentlemen from I presume Asia have assembled
the 834PT-AIR and it look like he likes it.http://mellowgroovy.blogspot.com/2015/06/monday-modify-end-of-l...

After years of using the Expressive Technologies SU-1 and SU-2 step up transformers I come across to a fact this morning that the Expressive was reviewed by Robert Harley in June, 1992. I read the Expressive’s preamp review but I never seen this one....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, I feel that air-cap has own coloration. This “no resolution”, vacuum-clean HF dynamic is coloration itself as I do recognize this characteristic across all music that the corrector plays. The sound of the air-correc...

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?

I know that some of you might consider it as a dangers subject and if you afraid of yourself then do not read any further. This view has no direct relation to the subject of my site, namely: “advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techni...

[quote user="oxric"] I have spent hours coming up with all sorts of weird and wonderful, but at other times too rigid systems to support the various components comprising what I modestly choose to call Le Horn (AKA Rakeshorns). I have more or les...

Hm, the Injection channel via Lecleach? The MF via Lecleach? I wonder why people then are complaining about the vertical limitations. Anyhow, closer to the point.

The whole notion of the de Charlus’ quest I find to be very interesting. Charlus feels that only use horn topology and compression drivers is able to deliver “superior” audio result, at least it was his experience. I do not feel that horn topolog...

Thank you for giving this matter your attention. Jorge, I was intending that the AK151 be employed within a horn. Further, once I had settled upon the driver compliment, it was my intention to retain the services of Jeffrey Jackson, since I am not su...

N-set, you have actually struck upon one of the difficulties of not being the designer and builder per se, only an actively interested commissioner of a bespoke system from a third party. I foresee logistical difficulties in building the system in a ...

[quote user="manisandher"] For the past few months, I’ve been looking for a solution to a problem – how to recreate through speakers the same sound that I get through headphones. [/quote]I very much applaud to the desire to have speakers that do ...

Never in my life have I heard a plywood horn of any description that was other than a resonator. So, although I cannot draw on my successes, I do have a long list of failures to go on, to add to my extensive experience as a builder. Based on my exp...

Gentlemen, I can only hope to be wrong on the air-borne feedback.Actually your project Anthony made me think of coming back to my Staxquiades project - a Milq inspired monster amp for my Stax headphones. Do you have a source of big PSU Nichicons at ...

I am making steady progress putting together my DSET amplifiers. Life and work gets in the way but I am chipping away at it, taking my time, not rushing, enjoying it. Wow, it is a lot of work and an enormous task for my first complete amplifier bui...

You and I now have what seems to be very similar situations; similar MF and HF channels, in a room of similar size. However, I still have no operational dedicated mid-bass channels; you do. I have dedicated lower-bass channels; you do not. As is ...

Last night local guy stopped by to listen my last year changed in Audio. I proudly played to him a record on my “End of the Life Phonostage”… it sounded like crap. The electricity was not very good and I hardly was toleration when the record was over...

I picked up the DVD along with his Tokyo Live CDs when I was in Japan last month. I was most impressed by the scene of him listening to a playback at a recording studio. The agonized expression on his face is almost disturbing. ...

Paul, I thought about the wall mount, but eventually decided to go with a more universal, pref. end of life solution, I could place anywhere. I've never had a dedidcated rack, a time to have one.The result is a slate-on-steel-frame 500kg mastodont, I...
