It is a mid of April and the weather is turning to be beautiful. The house of ours is kind of outdoorsy facility and we spent a LOT of time on the deck during worm mouths. We have huge deck that covers all 3 sides of house and we have a very cool dec...

I do not have any special animosity against DSD beside that fact that it is a fundamentally compromised format to be “final” format. My presumption that I might comply one day with a need to buy a SACD player comes from the fact that the industry in...

I relay do not recognize music with this unit – it makes everything to sound absolutely different and very muchwrong. It hard to explain: the notes are there but they have absolutely wrong meaning. It is even funny to hear in which crap the little mi...

Nope there is no Chinese letters on the driver. There is just a number 3C12F, nothing else.
This driver was made for British Mission Loudspeaker Company and was used in nowadays out of production Mission mini-monitors. The Mission’s SCU was LF-CP210...

There is a test of the 17 cm Görlich with rubber surrond in the new Hobby Hifi.Very low fs (23 Hz) and low sensitivity (86 db). There is a clear surround resonance, so maybe it would be wise to wait for the announced models with cloth or foam su...

Only, we don't know much about speakers do we?In my kitchen I have a $180 (list) Sony mini-system with subwoofer that is very very satisfying. That price includes AM/FM, dual cassette wells and 3-CD changer! But it's the main speakers that do th...

I must be missing something - or not be ready for this yet. Here are my understanding problems:1) he starts with the "left" speaker and searches for the best bass. I would think that one should search individually with the left and right and pick the...

Ah, eventual a good reply! So, you feel that your powerful SET project is good because it can be “build in reality, test and draw some conclusions”. Being a pragmatic Jew I am very much on the same page. However, the moment that you are missing in my...

G'Day Rowuk,Thanks so much for the quick replyThe drivers were recommended by the person who made the cabinets. All three are supposed to be quite well regarded.Initially, the project was just going to be 2 x 10" and the Beyma tweeter, which in itsel...

The mini skirt analogy is a great fit. That is my experience.Or maybe like that stunning girl has small breasts and one has know the joy of a good handful. There are ways for enhancement and while one could get more, the girl is no more beautiful and...

i definitely see what you're saying there.. but i do wonder if it has more to do with the economics and the powers that be than a full on case of negligence. most sound engineers-- or at least those i've known (and not the bastard species of fa...

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn g...

A UK guy with name “mrwippy” built a dedicated room for small mini-monitors. I am not a big fun of dedicated rooms but the construction ceremony looks interesting, even I would like do NOT go over it myself…

The 6moons just announced that that The Orgue Company made 6.5" driver after the similar Mitsubishi driver:
"The original Diatone P-610 was made by Mitsubishi beginning in 1947 until 1992. The Diatone P-610 has sold widely in the world for 50 years ...

Yes, the silent record cleaner is a wet dream any person who spin records. I was thinking about it in past and was considering to put the vacuum mashie from my Nitty Gritty Mini-Pro to basemen and then run a pipe to the machine itself. It is not diff...

Though I have difficulties warming to the idea of the "headphone" arrangement for these horns, I do understand that we are talking about loading the room. Similar thinking lead me to consider setting large horns behind the listener in my own longish ...

Without regulation, this amp would not work correctly due to its design: DC coupled and fixed bias. The high transconductance will make the bias current varied as much as 50-100ma due power line fluctuation without the regulators. It mi...

Yesterday a local hi-fi guy invited me to listen his new speaker. He picked up Altec Model 19 - I am known not to be a big fun of those speakers but they have own sound in the scale of non-demanding, off-the-shelf monitors. Upon expecting the speaker...
