[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Briefly: a spatial expander is a mechanism of artificially creates spacious more sound. A spatial expander does not generate more realistic sound, but more pleasant sound. The spatial effects are accomplished by mixing into...

I do not like on Connex that I cannot use tools to tight the post hard. With my kind of cables and the spades that they use the force of my fingers is not enough to tight the binding posts. BTW, there are some people who feel that the force of bind...

Still, I do not feel that amplification and architectural decisions shell be implied in drivers evaluations, at least during the initial introduction. Of course the driver shell be powered with a proper amp for a ...

I know many would view the two frequencies as similar and perhaps of little consequence, but I have my reasons.My primary, driving objective for wanting the horn to produce sound faithfully to at least 90Hz is that 90Hz represents an ideal crossover ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is was not bad sound but the sound that clearly indicated that something is very wrong: supper compressed, complete absent of LF, huge HF extension. The whole horn sounds like a bad MD driver.[/quote]Open the back panels...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

I have been pitching about the superior importance of time alignment for years. It is not that I violently insist that people have their channels time-alignment. We kind of free people and everyone do whatever they want. Still, I exercise for years m...

I do not think that anyone would be able to “teach” and I do not thin that there is nothing to teach about the mats. A good “sounding” platter does not require any “actions” from mat and the hard rubber mats do exactly...

a Hong Kong-based company DIY Hifi Supply is selling RIAA EQ modules, the first modulesthat I have seen at 10kOm. It is something that Thorsten did not do commercially… but if the silks sound good then it might be VERY interesting. Is anyone kno...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I plug it for a first time today. It looks like it is sensitive like hell and I did not hear any titanium problems on it even without low pass filter. I do not have infrastructure now to look into it further. [/quote] I ...

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="Romy the Cat"]We have no idea what this guy is looking in Sound[/quote]Yes, you are right. That's the biggest problem.I suspect he misused his gotos (at least to some degree), because there is nothing in the sound of these 2A9 drivers th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]since I know that you do not deal with horns and discuss it only as theoretical exercise I am not sure what we are talking about. [/quote]Hahaha :-) This experiment was made a few days ago by a friend of mine who is speaker...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Topologically and according to all theories the SET is capable to produce dynamic range that is unspeakable for PP, unless some tricks used in PP amps and those tricks have own negative effect to sound. [/quote]I really do ...

Yes, I was implying the dipole-centric results (open buffers, ports, passive radiators and so on). They all has tendency to “demean” the significance of Sound by introducing the false sense of comfort that reduces the original anxiety and complicity ...

The cut is the beautiful Conchita Supervia is inging Carmen with Gustav Cloez in 1930http://www.mediafire.com/?iijmy0inmmoSorry for the clipping sound – it’s recorded at +3dB at the peaks. The damn SPU with its 3mV output and the 64dB in my phono...

It was on March 1930. Clemens Krauss lead Vienna Philharmonic. After Walter, Bernstein (with Vienna only),Toscanini, Barbirolli, Cantelli, Levine, Furtwangler and Got only knows who esle I finally “got” the Brahms Third! What a Sound Krauss thrown!Th...

There is no incoherency of any kind; instead the said was absolutely the same thing. Making “bad sounds to sound worst” is the very identical to “using all means to make a listener turn away”. It is a bit irony that you find some kind of “inconsisten...

I wonder what will be left in audio for many audio people if 3 conditions exist in audio: 1) The subject of “one piece of equipment vs. another piece of equipment” is prohibitive. 2) You are blind from birth, never were able to see or read....

A very good article on the subject that basically proves my attitude on the subject: it is not about technology but the idiocy of people who use the technology.

Good lecture, thanks for posting it. It reminds me that I think 12 years ago there was a “big” debate about the distinction between US and British Sound, from a perspective of speakers design. We all know about the “classic” BBC curves and the rest o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Now at higher it goes and as louder it gets it has more and more almost some kind of mechanical resonances overlying over sound. Dead tubes would not be doing it. [/quote]... but did you clean your needles? And does this h...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, I guess you do not measure flux if are getting. You might measure sensitivity and we might presume what when perm magnets has the same sensitivity as electromagnets then the drivers have the same magnetic flux density. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]no one know
what it is and how it sounds but I can bet all money in my pocket that
with this size it has problematic HF, not to mention that being a ribbon
it sound worse with each Hz of lower extension.
