Active sound cancellation has been used widely in industry as ANC (Active Noise Control)They work best and functional in narrow band bass FRQ. To make it short it is not practical in your case... Bass FRQ have enough power to vibrate horn mouth and c...

I've had lots of down time for a while now, and I just saw the old IEM (in-ear monitor/earbud) post while mining the site. I already posted that I got a Crane CC2E radio, mostly to listen to nighttime re-broadcasts of the local symphony orchestra. I ...

Romy, I suspect that 200 Hz high-pass will be too low for that driver, even 2nd order, and almost certainly with just 6 dB roll-off. I think more like 500 Hz with 1st order, and might still require the coil.Yellow-type drivers take on and ...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

I never heard Everests and I hardly feel that I ever will hear them in a reasonable installation as the people who would use Everests most likely will be the people of “different type”. Still, I wonder if the Everests are the JBL’s 21st century glori...

With regard to 'How fast to get to correct speed' These are my steps:- Hand spin the flywheel first- Hand rotate the platter until the Tach reads around 33rpm- Start the motor - Speed will be within 2-3% straight away - Due to the PSU altering the vo...

I do not know what to say. Daniel is very knowledgeable person and it is the dual-wire specification (as I was told today) then I would doubt that Mr. Weiss would not comply with it. It is possible that it does it, you might not know how to activate ...

I wonder if you can do some "sound forecast" just by looking at them. The drivers seem to be of some sort of synthetic plastic material, which were true, I fear wouldn't sound much of my liking. They remind me of the Watt&Puppy, Joseph... and som...

My preferred type of speaker is a full range ribbon, though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers. I've heard many over the years but I was never really that impressed but wan...

Checking if you playback can discriminate absolute polarity is very simple and very effective way to find out if you acoustic system is not fundamentally faulty. Flip the polarity and monitor the result. If you did not experience dramatic changes at ...

Hi Romy,thanks for your message. I wasn´t aware that Japan made so many different horn speakers back in the days. Looks like they knew what they did...I like these horns a lot :) They are by far not that involving and musical like my Tannoy Monitor G...

Sounds like you have the important parts, all right. Well done!I am in Crossover Hell, myself, just now. They are the Devil's Playground! If you can get the drivers' actual, in-the horn, in the room, raw active data curves, then I recommend LEAP a...

because floor josts support and extend the walls (they are solid 2"x6")so just screwed the board tightly to them. Because I needed the boards only within 10' so I have 3 rows of 5' +5' with the seam in the middle. I cut the second layer of bards so ...

It is sucks to live with Russians Tubes. It is particular sucks to live with 6C33C. They are all deferent when they new, they age very ungracefully and differently.
The life with Super Melquiades, where I use 6x6C33C driving individual channe...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Forgive me for being so forward, but I have been holding it in for some time, and am right now, at this very moment, ripe for saying that I see this MiniMe thing as being analogous to an affair with a capricious little mis...

This weekend a local audio guy came to my palace and was bitching about his bass. I have small 1 cub feet pair sealed foxes with 8” version of my 25W drivers, I think they are 21W. I used them on the side of my bed to allow my old Koshka to climb in ...

OK, I have conceptualized what I need for the tweeter amp. It will be MilqEZ – the same Milq one with 6C19P at output. I will use the Super Melquiades power supplies but the HF channels will host own last caps of the filters and own bias of the both ...

[quote user="drdna"]The interesting thing about the Bottlehead people is that they are pretty good guys. "High and outside" is I think Paul Stubbelbine, who is an expert at mastering. He remastered my girlfriend's last album. I was very i...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

OK, got the Placette from the second round of "modification", it took 15 second to confirm that the HF problems that I sniffed out was not there anymore – so the absolute transparency is back to the business and this time the word “absolute” could be...

Richard, I absolutely agree with you that dipole provides a masking affect from many problems but along with illumination of the badly reproduced bass dipoles inject into music a common denominator of… dipolenisness….. and this something that ...

[quote user="KOTriode"] 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 reg...
