Hello Romy and others,Ive been away for a long time taking care of my health but i'm back with renewed interest. I am moving to a new house in the future and have plans for a dedicated music room (and an occasional movie) The space is however much sm...

This is our first offering; we are indeed working on another two higher priced models. One will have an additional channel on top, the other one will be front horn loaded down to 40 hz. Optional finish and colors, both for horns and supports, a...

It is not about “how low can the 600hz horn go before running in to problems” but rather a specific if of Vitavox S2 driver. The S2 with plastic suspension has secondary resonance at 1250 cycles (you might read about in details in my S2 thread). So...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Similar experience but I get to keep my "old" room. I have just changed my 5 way horn loaded down to 140 hz speakers to a friends room twice as big as mine, with an open back area into the house as your new room has and o...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...
|
Romy, it sounds like, as usual, you have covered a lot of ground already before you put out your first questions about ribbons.FWIW, I presently use Arum Cantus G2Si ribbons, phasing them in at 10k Hz to supplement the Lowther DX4's dreaded...

[quote user="Edgar="]Not Amplitude. It's the rock solid phase linearity. It feels like a brick wall all the way up and down. I haven't looked at any graphs and haven't measured anything but that is my guess. There is no question of the great tone of ...

Paul, thank you for your input![quote user="Paul S"]I think with the SUT the "dynamic" loading the cartridge "sees" may swamp the choice of wire metal. Once the loading is dialed in, silver might be nice. [/quote]Yes Paul, absolutely agree--the ele...

Rakesh, I moved your post to this thread as I feel it is more relevant here, I hope you do not mind. You ask yours the very same question that I ask myself. I do not have definitive answers to them:
[quote user="oxric"] I am presently consider...

I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

Hi,
Thanks for the info about transformers. It is as I expected, however, that these passive devices are not passive sonically at all. I agree with you that the higher quality of the transformers should lessen the effects I noted (if not elimi...

Any time Adrian, email me privately and we will set it up. I don't mind if you report your impressions if you don't mind me doing the same.You're probably correct in your suspicion, different strokes for different folks. Objectively spe...

Looking at the drivers, and the range of adjustments, it appears that Wilson have done some things that make more sense than usual, at least to me. The MTM drivers can easily be set for "time alignment", which should help to cope with Wilson's "noto...
|
To be honest, I think that ANY stereo system gets in the way of the music - regardless of the amount of channels.Let us jump back to the monaural records/radio years. At that time, we had one choice and were very satisfied in being able to play back ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...

[quote user="haralanov"]Are there any signs for worsened transient response of your midbass channel due to the sharp electrical filtering?[/quote]Nothing that I note. The transient response of your midbass channel is a bit tricky thing as the way how...
|
I have been playing around with speakers for a long time, and things started snapping when I got into horns. I have a system right now with an upperbass horn from 140 hz turned form MDF up to around 700 hz, to another horn, and another and a super t...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to ac...
|
Actually I don't find it surprising that engineers don't realize the sonic effects of their engineering. Remember all the indignant articles and letters they wrote about how great solid state amps with low THD sound and how lousy tubes are. In the ca...
|
I don't understand why people are using the flywheel with the same thread coming off the motor to go around both the turntable platter and the flywheel. I also don't get why the flywheel is supposed to be used with a slipping thread at all. To make...
|
At some point last year, after I had been offered an opportunity to buy some Vitavox S2 drivers from someone in Paris, and some S3s from Germany, I decided to approach Mike Harvey of Octave Audio, AKA Vitavox Hifi, to get some information about how I...

Hi everyone,It is quite ironic that the day I hear from Fane telling me that the Fane 8Ms are finally ready, I should receive this update from my horn maker maestro. Russ Collinson of Layers of Beauty. Russ, if you ever read this here, please take a ...

First of all, season's greetings to all. I have been thinking about this issue for a few months now and was reluctant to post a question in case it was premature! There must always be some niggling doubt whether any real estate adventure will materia...

Ehh, what do you know – I subscribe the TAS last week. I think I did it 7 years back but I was wondering if it be some kind of fun. I got my first issues a few days back and made an attempt to read it. Funny but I do not exactly understand what they ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hey, Chirag, long time no see. [/quote]Hi Kitty,I always try to see whats going on on this site, but by the end of the day I'm usually too bloody tired to think clearly enough to write something of interest. This week...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I'm curious about how you set up your horns in the room.From photos it looks as if they are fairly close together, compared to the wide setting you suggested I try, while our room dimensions are fairly similar?When I started push...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I never seen country which completly voluntarily convert themselves into Germany after WW 1. As I said, I really do not want to talk a lot on the subject on this site, but I need to admit the since beginning of the war I d...
