OK, this dose make some since, become I understood you that it droops after 300Hz.
I wonder what made you to select the 300Hz as a crossover point – the currently existing...

[quote user="cv"] I think the main advantage of the EM is reducing flux modulation. There was a post recently by one of the attendees who went with Feastrex claiming that Dr Kilppel (of famous measurement tools suite) measured one of their drivers an...

OK, I split the thread: “Best of the HE2006!!!” there extracting the Cogent’s related posts into a separate thread….
[quote user="Paul S"] The big RCA field coil is the best thing about the Cogent system. It has great "promise", based on what ...

Be, this is an interesting thinking and if you are correct and if there is an opening from front chamber into magnet assembly then the volume of the magnet chamber would certainly affect the sound of the driver. The point that I argue is that suc...

Joe,
The “decoration” you described came from the fact that you wrote your message on MS Word that adds ugly formatting when you paste it into native HTML editors. I also write in Word and I uselessly before I unload my posts I paste my Word’s text ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "Catch-22" with Melquiades is not the Melquiades price but the fact that I SPEND NO EFFORTS TO CONVINCE ANYBODY to build it...I made the Milq available and frankly speaking for myself, I feel more gratified that I revea...

The question I ask is a bit more loader than what appears at surface. When people who do not know me ask me what I do I say that I involved into (or practice) High End Audio but saying it I feel that myself I have different definition than it com...

[quote user="yoshi"] This is how I took Jonathan's post. He (Janathan) is mocking you (Romy) by presenting a hypothetical situation assuming your ego would be hurt in that situation and get pissed the same way some audio people react hysterical...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]What is the problem ? Listening to the, for example, rca victor red-seal recordings of CSO /Reiner I hear midbass weight, presence and realism that I do not have with the shelter. It is not the pushing forward or highl...

Stefano, welcome to the club, not the GoodSoundClub but the club of understanding of what is going on.
The subject of drivers in Tailored Audio™ is complicated and one of the biggest problems in this complicity is to defeat the attitude of judgment ...

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete horns are going thro...

[quote user="mats"]Good to hear about your week with Mussorgsky Romy. I came upon a mono Leibowitz / RPO RCA the other day. It has its moments IMHO. There seems also to be a new HMV Richter Sofia recital cd from HMV:

[quote user="drdna"]I have found the next obvious glaring problem, which is contributing to the muddy sound I described earlier. There is a mismatch between the two channels. The right channel is very slightly softer than the left with a ...

I turned radio today and it was Cathy Fuller’s interesting interview with violinist Nikolaj Znaider and live performance of Kreisler’s Liebesleid. As uselessly WGBH does everything through the ass nowadays - no pre-announcement, not scheduling no...

Perrew,
LCR is not active at all; it is the very same passive EQ as your RC? I think you a bit confused with terminology. The main logical explanation (there are many of them) is that capacitive filtration is very bad one and need to be minimi...

Joe, I do appreciate that that invitation is open-ended and I might take advantage of it sometimes. Frankly I do not feel any specific temptations that I need to “drop everything” and to run to another side of the globe to audition the Silbatone. The...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

[quote user="jweiss"] It was good to finally meet you at CES at the Cogent Room. I guess that you really found Steve and Rich's drivers pretty interesting (you initially wanted to buy a pair of the midrange drivers, remember?) [/quote]
Hi, Jonathan....

Finished, and very impressed with the output of this small tapped horn.
Running simple RCA piggy backs from valve amp output to plate amp, which is Digitech (JayCar), 100-watt. simple enough, nothing fancy. Would like to integrate the ...

[quote user="nl"] Within that horn-loaded range, the 210/515 type combo does reasonably well, and produces rather more inspirational midbass than most direct-radiator type strategies. There is a reason why these designs persisted for roughly forty ye...

Yes, something like this. This all common sense. Make the main grounding bus with some kind of
ugly, very low Ga (1-6) wire with no isolation. Make sure it is copper, so main
grounding bus should be a LOT of copper. It should be connected to amp’s...
