[quote user="floobydust"] The main component that limits low-frequency response in any SET is the OPT. For these initial designs, I used the smallest Hashimoto SE OPTs... their H-203S for the 2A3 and their H-507S for the 45 which are rated at 7...

[quote user="skushino"] Edgarhorns weren't an obvious choice. Many horns never worked for me. The Avantgardes left me cold. So did the single-driver crowd (I just don't get it....), Altec VOTs, PA systems, etc. But there were some systems th...

Jarek, I know exactly
how you feel. There is some magic in 10 Read loaded passively to ScanSpeak
SD1 motor with paper cone. The ScanSpeak with this semi-rubber suspension
are not the neutral drivers but they have very pleasant, at least ty my ears...

John, I am not sure that I can talk in generalities on the
subject as for a quite few years I stopped to monitor the market as attentively
as I did years back. It is very possible that something new come to existence

Hello-
Regarding your questions:
1.) The DA924 was originally designed before converters with accuracy beyond 15-16 bits were available. It is no longer in production. The Quintessence is a state...

Well, this is a big subject.
Kind of. For sure a better DAC produce better sound. How much a better DAC shall
cost? That is a complicated topic that has absolutely no relation to how the
DAC sound. I remember a dealer that I know pick up a new spe...

I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped
properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If
your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on
damaged discs, or with bad transports, the err...

Some of you remember as a few months ago a Russian guy pup
up at this site with GOTO 146 driver and
wanted to build a midbass horns with them. I naturally took interest as I never
dealt with Japanese 4” compression drivers and I though it might be...

Thanks Romy,
I would have thanked you sooner but I had the day OFF of my day job today and had no time to post until now.
*cracking up*
I had a feeling there was no easy answer, wasn't sure if I was missing something, had scoured posts for a whi...

[quote user="scooter"] Indeed, this is a reference to how important electricity might be. After last night, I almost feel as though my equipment is a much less important factor and takes a backseat to everything else. At this stage, I am thinking...

Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

Romy, thank-you for your help so far. Unfortunately I now have some more hopefully simple questions regarding the "pre-final" schematic from your "6 Channel
Melquiades" thread (see below). 1.
Do you have a “final version” of the
schematic any...

From a technological perspective, these look very interesting. Unfortunately the nearest place i could audition these is Montreal, but it looks to be worth it. Have you heard these, Romy, or are you also impressed with the price/technology ratio?

As there was talk on the BW Broadcast RBRX1 receiver here, I thought this might be of interest:I have bought a new DSP-based tuner, and it is unlike any other I have used before. I had sort of distantly lusted after the BW Broadcast RBRX1, but ne...

[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

Romy, thanks for taking the time to write a little about your history with Melquiades and diy. In some ways our stories are quite similar. My background is agriculture. My family breed cattle and grow crops and I am a large part in that ...

Continuing to harass the readers of my site and myself with the good news about the performance of my SA8535 driver I would like to post a very educational article about the subject. As I told before, being familiar with sound of ribbons then never i...

I like this Polish guy in your tube interview. I hate his speakers
of cause. The best this is this YouTube interview is the Peter Breuninger’s proposal
“certificate of accomplishments” that the speaker maker was granted. That was
huge recognition ...

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about

[quote user="dl"]
But I
am curious (wary) about what you mean by the “one-sided” results of using a DHT
for the upper midrange (if I misread you correctly). [/quote]
What I meant is that practically no one uses "a good DHT...

[quote user="anthony"]Do you have a
“final version” of the schematic anywhere? [/quote] I think that the one you
have might be recognized as final. The Rev2 was without DHT in MF and Rev3 was
with it. I did not do anything else with the amp af...
