I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

Once again, it is not about the loudspeakers but about the idiots who put themselves in position of shaping public opinion by expressing the “expert” view. Yes, I am taking about the Morons who write those audio reviews. A new Danish 90db sensi...

Dear CatYour facts about Plasma Tweeters are incorrect. It is so far off that it is useless discussing it."I feel that that their Sound is very muck syntactic" ..."I feel the plasma tweeters take the sub-dynamic, deneuralized sound of electrostats to...

I see the point, thanks a lot for your comments. Playing with the phono I've somehow come to a conlusion (possibly wrong) that my ham is an electrostatic air pick-up from the PS. During the operation both PS and signal boxes are very closetogether an...

Only yesterday I started to get some interesting results after tuning the UK crossovers. But still not near to the sound I'm getting from my electrostatic headphone setup. I assume my Dannoy setup is quite compromised: one of the original crossov...

Hi Scooter![quote user="scooter"]
I have tried the SR-009, SR-007, SR-507, and SR-407 many times over a total of some 5 hours with a variety of sources but always with some Stax branded amplifier. Every time I thought / suspected that the big Stax...

Risking that the topic has already been discussed and that I postin a wrong category (Romy feel free to (re)move this post:Is there any sense in trying 6C33 at higher volatges and lower currents?More precisely, I've been wondering if 1/2 6C33 @ 300-...

Anthony, I agree with your central observation, and I have used paralleled HF drivers for decades, starting with the old Peerless paper tweeters paired with RTR6 electrostatic arrays, and now paper whizzers with Audaphon ribbons. As you know, this ca...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think that you did not exactly my version but made some modifications; I do not know/remember what they were. [/quote]CCS heating of the tubes based on LT337A, 2x0.47u+470K at the output,my filtering is a bit bulkier at ...

"High-efficiency electrostatic speakers"??? Is this not an oxymoron? My friend, Mark, who sometimes visits and posts in this form, has gigantic Sound Lab 'stats. He hates SS, and he uses VTL Wotan tube amps to drive them, 1.200W per channel, and it p...

Hi N-set,
Interesting query on the small Stax. I don't want to go down the path of equipment reviewer but do want to answer your question and contribute where I can.
I have not tried the portable Stax model. Out of the gate, I could not reconc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, I would call Jubilee as a noise highlighting cartridge. (BTW, there is one subject regarding it that I need to look further ….) [/quote]

From Alex's thoughts it seems like one approach might be related to/interfaced with the program itself, such as RIAA or FFRR, etc., etc., even though I think those "recommended guidelines" have been only loosely observed by recording e...

Hi Romy,I am designing the power supply chassis for the DSET at the moment and hope that you can remember some things about how you managed the grounding.All power supply components up to but not including the filter caps for each power supply will b...

[quote user="scooter"]I think that is a VERY interesting issue to think about in the broader scope of sound reproduction with full-scale systems. [/quote]I'm not sure it's so interesting in the context of speakers--you have much more parameters to pl...

[quote user="morricab"]Could you explain a little more about the amp? If I understand you correctly it is a 1 tube stage with solid state (Mosfet or Bipolar??) output. If it is Mosfet then it is likely to be running without negative feeda...

Paul, 100% agreed on the real world test vs all other mental exercises!!!Not sure on what do you mean by the "follower"?Yes, I need only 2 stages, perhaps TVC at the input. I'll even have a bit too much gain, if I'm correct.Romy style bias on 6E5P an...

I know, it makes sense to think about me in such a way because of not knowing more about me, but I definately have potential to get to good places in audio if I just had some things improved here and there... I have belief in my capability even ...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

David Wilson says about the WAMM:
Atkinson: What range does the electrostatic unit cover?
Wilson: It operates above 5kHz. And it operates at a very low level. It functions primarily to provide part of the leading edge of high-frequency transients....

It is my understanding that the only reason to make a ribbon bigger is to get it to go lower in frequency. I don't know how Arum Cantus configures their G1, and I have not heard it so I cannot say if it is their "best" pure HF driver rather tha...

Well, You really need to figure out what you want out of your speakers. There are some questions I would ask myself if I were in your position:1. You can eliminate a lot of speakers based on their size, since they should be mat...

I first heard the WAMMs in LA, sometime around 1984-5, or so. They were multi-amped. I suppose my (SS) amps would drive the new WAMMs FR, since they will easily drive Mark M's giant electrostatic speakers to over 100 dB, measured at 5 m. They are ...

I have tried both SS and tubed PP with HF ribbons, but not until ML2s have I gotten the "calm HF" I wanted from the ribbons. I am still experimenting with the Audaphons, but they seem to do best from 4 Ohm tap. My little 2A3 SETs did...

Maybe I'm not following novygera but isn't that what electrostatic speakers already do? I mean the full range ones. I thought some of Magnepan's smaller models only had quasi ribbon drivers also. I agree that it is not likely that one type of speaker...
