Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

Hi Romy and thanks for your threads...Since I joined, as a reader first, your Forum... well, I had plenty of good time reading your posts.Your witty approach is really what we all needs in this Flat Earth... the problem in audio and music is that peo...

I think the problem is like the chicken/egg dilemma - what needs to be there first? If we don't have the music appreciation first, how "good" can the playback be?. If we have achieved a technical solution, how can that lead to better appreciation of ...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] You have not heard Mangers, Aporia, or Loth-X speakers yet you thought sniffed yourself into an incredibly accurate picture of what they sound like. Great trick! [/quote]
It is not correct. I did not report the “in...

[quote user="Tuga"]Joe, Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy a good pizza. Unfortunately I won't find one in a Pizzahut. "That" man's 2 for 1 pleasure says a lot about his evaluating capabilities... I also enjoy several different kinds of music, mostly...

I is funny how my listening attitude is working. While my midbass horn is not built I do not listen music on my main system. I listen in via my MiniMe (Dunlavy 3) or in my headphones at work. At my home system I do not listen but rather think how it ...

Moreart, believe me or not, but I perfectly understand your constructions – they are nothing more than a simple reflection of your own way of thinking about audio and sound - just a pile of glued wooden panels without any audio based motivation behin...

Part 1 - Introduction
A few weeks I was sitting at Boston-shore of Charlse River, was looking at the passing water, was smocking my long and cheap cigar and played in my mine the first movement of Beethoven Third. I was thinking about S...

I think the issue is not the questions per se but what Musical result are you looking for? We all have make or break criteria for listening to music through audio systems whether stated or unstated. Experience has shown that you need to define the go...

Hi Romy. You hit some point. But thats half obsolete. I shouldntve tried to gather the stuff for the VO copy. That visit to Klaus opened my eyes. I already switched my priorities a view times. From tonality, then resolution, to latest color (VO) but ...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...

[quote user="atilsley169"] Sorry…I had trouble understanding the expression. I trust your allergy gets better…perhaps too much pollen in the air. [/quote] I have no idea what you are talking about.[quote user="atilsley169"]Vertical alignment. No pro...

Allo,Well, it was just a deliberately trollsome way to get you to talk about how you evaluate sound/components - obviously you've touched upon aspects of it, but it seems like you have a unified (and "evolved", to use the site's motto...

The guys like J.G. Holt brought to the wide public the things, from which “all the crap begun”. Holt was the first who came up in mass-publication with a concept of looking at the music through the dirty window where his new term “transparency” is cl...

Collin,I am pleased that you found my suggestions worthwhile.
I approached the issue of your music room with two questions in mind:1- How to avoid the structural angle from interfering with the sound2- Would an enlarged room be worthwhile...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] In my new room, I can't find the patience to listen to Bruckner. I can now listen to concertos and pieces with content in the tone and space, but if the music takes too long to get into it, I become impatient, then feel l...

I bought today a fresh copy of “The Absolute Sound” #151. Did not really meant o read but rather meant as usually to glide among the pictures and to learn which audio whore drool about a “new” bogus products. I seldom read the articles more the a few...

I am a trumpet player and teach as well. For my trumpet "beginners", I have a standard repertoire of exercizes to develop their playing. In the beginning, we find the tones that they can easily produce and build from there. As soon as a minimum of "t...

Interesting, the last night I made a first attempt to teach Amy something about audio. We live together for 6 month and I never made any attempt to bring her aboard to audio world. She love my playback idea but and I love to cruise around her brain o...
