I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300BLX 842VHD ) bought t...

but worth the reading. No "magic experiences" listening to crappy music, no "mistical revelations" about who-cares soundstage delineation... just objectively-aimed impressions about the strong and weak points of the sounds those speakers can reproduc...

I have no idea what the SD-1 motor is, but i know my woofers have it and they give me decent results. if only SS would make a high efficiency woofer with softer paper cones and double the SD magnet....Hey, what kind of crossovering is the ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Nope, it will be done at electro-magneto-acoustical domain. No helmet will be involved ether. The Cat [/quote]I suppose you'll use an electro-magnetic driver instead of a fixed magnetic field one, whose magnetic field would...

Daniel, seeing your words describing needs for live sound, i seriously recommend to copy Klaus Speth' System in a first instance. You can go further after that. But that thing had it all, what anyone needs to feel the art become alive. I can ensure i...

FWIW I tried quite a few isolation and power conditioner products over the years. The only ones that I still use and feel do more good than harm are the now discontinued PS Audio Ultimate Outlets. They are simply good quality baluns. The advantage ...

Hi thereI've heard them a few times driven by Audio Research power plant amp and their best tube CD player. My friendly dealer explained to me principles of Vandersteen design. Small woofer (because big one isn't fast enough ??) with its own plate am...

I thought that a digital crossover had a negative impact on sound quality -- especially for use between a midbass, midrange and tweeter channels. So I made an experiment a what I learned was not expected.I used my mid horn and two high pass filters i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]First of all, if you have
multiple of PP3000 then be advices that them connected in parallel substantially
descries sound quality for each of them. Then might be use ONLY at different
phases of some measures should be ta...

I corrected a mistake in amps construction but the thing I cannot explain is that after I picked up the drivers from Retsel they were much mellower /smoother sounding .Did hummidity change or they finally "broked -in" I don't know. Report...

Lost in Space? More like Spaced out.Taking Tramadol and Soma for a cervical problem. I listened to Art of the Portuguese Fado Guitar and everything was 3D.Kidding aside, I did some reading yesterday. Some online articles on the DEQX makes me want ...

Sorry if this is OT - I could start a new thread but my post is inspired by the quote below - [quote user="drdna"]the lathe-work is rough on some of the horns. [/quote]I can't decide whether that's good or bad. I'm slowly working up to getting ...

If you read Danleys paper, you see that the lower you go in frequency, the more this device turns into a direct radiator. He just vents the HF drivers from the throat, more or less optimised, the midrange drivers a bit further out and the LF drivers ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I heard the Orgon and I didn`t notice any electronic colorations. The midrange of course doesn`t have the sweetness of an SET, but is the most realistic I have heard from a piece of hifi. The two things on my wishlist would be mor...

I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

[quote user="Paul S"]The things I like best about a good wide-range driver are coherence and immediacy: like nothing else I know of, but awareness of the limited range quickly come to the fore.[/quote]Paul, my experience with wide range drivers is li...

Ahm, I thought, that the midrange horn loses its directivity after 7000 and thats there I need the h-105. By the way its the only ring radiator from Coral. How can I add at the same time a first order 10k and 5k to the same driver? I always thought t...

KS, I am not following what is your problem is. The “big bass box” is unknown height. Let say that it is it 36” then it will have MF sitting about it. The lower midrange horn with 800hz crossover pint is sitting above MF. So, everything is fine as fa...

I have no idea what it is but it is something… Take a look:

It is 3 way horn loaded with external LF section, so far so good. Atop then have RAAL ribbon that ...

I have large midbass horns and midrange horns made by elevenhorns. I am still trying to figure out a stand idea. I've read many creative ideas but I still haven't found the idea that inspires me. I do like the all wood direction that Rakeshorn t...

I never was fan of the Oris 150. They meant be used with Lowther type of drivers, that never worked properly. The Oris 150’s upper bass is not really the bass that might be obtained form the Oris’ mouth. Should this Oris has twice smaller throat and ...

I'm looking to internally wire to binding posts on exterior of box from woofers in a sealed cabinet. I was wondering what are some options for wiring that will not be a hinder. Would a heavy gauge copper 6nine's copper be sufficient? I'm using so...

Room is extra nice, better then most i have seen on the web. We all will hear from you telling us there is no bass, in your new room. It looks like 300Hz down will suffer because square footage increase like 10 fold from last room. You will have much...

Robert, Agreed... many people rave about the FE126E in just about anything... yet, I find them irritating (upper midrange shout) before 1-watt sets in. The F120A (in a simple ported enclosure) is a completely different sounding driver. Sti...

A DSP is a great tool for modelling crossovers. It lets us experiment with a lot of things with no additional costs. There is a sonic hit, but far lower than "guessing" at crossovers.What seems to get the most traction here is using inherently well b...

Hi Jeff,I am certain that the best midbass was NEVER in a corner horn. Every fold in the horn is a new resonance. Corner horns need many folds...In addition, if you are very "anal retentive" about phase alignment - how do you integrate a corner horn?...

Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t s...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I finally concluded that I need a better mono cartridge. Screw you Denon-102! I can’t listen this midrange pusher anymore![/quote]Send it over to me Romy, I'll make sure the little offender doesn't escape! :) Brian (who lis...
