[quote user="oxric"] As to why people are interested in the 16 ohms drivers, that is only true of some. The idea is that if the Vitavox S2s are being used, and a single amplifier to drive the different channels, it seems to make sense to go for 1...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

Scott, you see, this is the problem. You do not talk about the problems “as is”. All what I was asking was the acknowledgment/recognition/identification without context of loudspeakers. Your listening/assessment awareness is completely grounded to th...

Thanks, Greg

I do not use any L-pad resistors with tweeters. If you need to reduce the tweeter output I drop the caps and move the tweeter up at t...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]This subject of digital crossovers became quite popular during last few years and many audio-people give up and go for a simplicity and painlessness of digital crossovering.[/quote]Well, digital X-Overs would appear to o...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting, I did drop the crossover frequency but I do not like the result. I was driven in different configurations and experimented from the current 13kHz to 7.5kHz. As soon I drop below ~ 11.8kHz then the overl...

[quote user="CO"] I dont need flat to 20K but dropping after 10K necesetates a tweeter. [/quote]
And there is nothing wrong with it. No one 500Hz driver that said is doing to 20K in reality does it. In fact if a driver goes to 20K then the place for...

It is amassing what kind of tricks the Fundamentals Channel allows to play. Since my high-frequency Vitavox S2 driver “clicked” recently:

Thanks Romy.
Ok. I have installed a 30k resistor on the input and it reduced the drifting when the preamp is not connected. If my preamp is connected then I do not get any drifting at all and input voltage stays at 0v when I switch the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anthony,
First, your measurements again the “appropriate load resistor” has very little practical meaning. The
drivers is a dynamic system that has impedance not resistance and the impedance
varies with frequency. So...

Today, I decided to measure input voltages that induce clipping in my operational DSET. I basically just put in place the appropriate load resistor, set the signal generator at a level in the middle of the bandpass and increased voltage until the si...

[quote user="hagtech"]First, it seems like the tubes are starved. They are running very low current. The 12AX7 is also at low voltage. I'm guessing they are running at about 0.3mA at 65V plate. This operating point is way down...

How lucky I am! The Melquiades bass channel at full throttle gives me just enough gain to power my Midbass horn to the reference level of my MF channels. That is truly a very lucky thing. The biggest dilemma I am thinking now is type of the filt...

Generally the 105V gas
tube are the best and the most stable gas tubes and if you are willing to use
them then it would be a good idea. You need to recirculate the whole bias
securely to do so and it is tricky. It is not so hard to figure out how ...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy, in the contrary, it is very unfair to compare my 845 amp with the 6C33C. The main reason is the 845 amp used the best output/interstage transformer available, while the 6C33C's output xformer is pretty good but far from b...

[quote user="drdna"] However, there is something to be said for the certain magic that can sometimes happen with a particular device. The unpredictable transients and color shades add a sense of alive-ness that seems separate from the standard charac...

[quote user="floobydust"] One of the reasons I no longer use a tube tester. They make a measurement at a specific target operating point(s). You don't really know what it is, so what are the chances they will be close to your actual circuit opera...

[quote user="floobydust"] The final ratings on later ST-style glass 45s was 10 watts on the plate and 300 volts cathode to plate max. Recommended bias current is between 34-36ma max. Short answer... I prefer no more than 34ma on the 45 cathode. I...

Paul,
Thanks for pitching the Johnson capacitors. They do not look “large enough” for me. I used in past the following caps:
