Hi Romy,Due in part to your enthusiasm for the older 78 rpm recordings and in part to my own curiosity I have decided to add the facility to play these to my system. It also helps that an old aunt has given me a large quantity of classical recordings...

Hey op.9, yes, I have experience (probably the only person this side of the world) in repair and rebuilding of the PD 801. I have about 3 waiting to be rebuilt. I'm using one now, in my 'High Zoot Monomania' mono system, crossed with a 1mfd 2500v Spr...

How lucky was I that I bough that digital crossover! I am think now how can I search for my crossover slope and find that this digital toy would make it very so much easy. My major concern is to make sure that some frequency anomalies that I have fo...

I don't have Lamm, but I think conceptually there is no real difference between imaging the location of the players and imaging their non location. Sound waves generated by the musicians are traveling in the space between them and even if it weren't ...

While the aftermath of the midbass horn project is not over I am strategizing how I might implement Macondo’s LF section. The leading idea is to bolt a triangular shape sealed enclosure juts behind the small wall that cover the load bearing beam from...

About the proposed attic-mounted 40Hz horns: Is there an elephant in the room?I'm speaking of the proximity of two horns, relative to each other, and the possible consequence; namely they may end up working as a sort of mono horn... A situation furth...

I spent some of yesterday listening to the 8th and 9th from this set.
Recorded in mono by RCA in the early 50's I really like these performances. As a bonus the recording quality is good too. Does anyone else know them?...

Angel 35014 (old-ish; mono)I still don't "get" this piece, but here is a great reason to listen to it.Grit you teeth through the first few bars and the orchestra settles in. Then there's great playing and terrific direction of a...

EMI [LP]My copy of this record is a Japanese "audiophile" pressing of the mono EMI version, from the "Great Recordings of the Century" series. I assume from the sound that the latest dubs are also Japanese, but I can't read Japanese/charac...

[quote user="Doron"] I am beginning to somewhat agree with this statement as I am always amazed how selective an audio system gets as it becomes a high-resolution one. Rock and pop never sounds good anymore (because the system just tells it like it i...

I started to read the article but I honestly have difficulties. I know Mark Anstendig – we met on-line a few years back in old Mahler forum. We had some correspondence between us for a while and then Mark started annoy me. Mark is former conductor. I...

Per Winfeld confirmed to me that the coil former assembly is rotated 45% compared to the regular SPU such that only lateral motion is sensed. Unfortunately I did not think to ask him how the coil/coils was/were wound. Since the quoted DCR is signific...

Hi Romy,How do I stuff the SME headshell (or other headshells) with silicon? I am tech idiot and can't imagine how to keep the silicon from just running out of the headshell, is there a type of silicon that dries after application I guess? By the way...

Tuga,
It is very much NOT about the Point Source. The Point Source is absolutely irrelevant label that was invented by the single driver enthusiasts in order to mentally differentiate their speakers from multi-drivers configuration and in order to j...

Romy,Nah, I just want to careful with what I have left, dont want to have an amp without tube for now. The gold grid tube probably take a while to get them. From what I remember from a tube dealer who said that these 6C33C need to have the heater bur...

[quote user="drdna"]What is revealing is that the system functions poorly with recordings with a lot of reverb. This is what one would expect of course, given the setup. Probably the best recordings to play on such as system would be the old Three Bl...
