[quote user="morricab"] Now my biggest problem with tone from horns comes from the "cupped hands" horn effect, which is really nothing more than the resonances fromt he horn itself. [/quote]The "cupped hands" is not the characteristics of horn a topo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]tuga, I do not like this explanation, it is very confusing and self-contradictive. The Digital Volume controls (with a few very seldom exceptions) do bits-depth conversion and toss the bits with each new volume setting. Thi...

Hi everybody,Anyone heard of these horns:http://www.bahnsenengineering.dk/models.htmInstead of using some costly, low resolution RTA, here is a free alternative:http://www.libinst.com/SynRTA.htmand Audio DiffMaker (signal difference extraction softwa...

Panel loudspeakers? Sound processors and/or Software? Room treatments? It's one of the least informative websites I've come across. If you had more info about them, Guy, please share it with us.Rgrds....

The essence of audio is the transfiguration of the intent of the performers in the playback area. It is not hardware, software or even the recording itself. Naturally, this assumes that the artists were driven by noble intent....

That hurts...I usually use some 3D software to model before productions. Both takes and saves time. May I ask why China? ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We...

I should not even stress more that I do not like people at DIYAudio.com. The domination majority of them incredible idiots and the brightest among them… do not really have any perspective what audio is all about. I do admit that in some seldom cases ...

[quote user="twogoodears"]Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS...

[quote user="cv"] I bet Yamamura is using non-causal filtering... this is all running off a music server, so could process everything offline. [/quote] Chris, there is no such a thing as “non-causal filtering”. Filtering is filtering, would it d...

I kind of ignorant in the subject and I decided to see what is going on in there.
I am kind of ignorant about software to play my 88kHz/24 Bit files. I play them with software I record the WaveLab 6.0. I decided to try alternative players. It ...

[quote user="tuga"] I should have added that this explanation refers to volume control by software and it's probably the worst case scenario. [/quote]Tuga, any digital volume control is software based. This defines the nature of the digital volume co...

Romy: you found your CD transport sounded better than a CD-ROM drive, is that right? That seems reasonable. But you've not stated what computer the CD-ROM drive was attached to . . .In an audio computer, the CD-ROM drive is really, really irrelevant:...

Paul, I guess, I know your headline from somewhere...:-)Well, my System has no German units and that is without any doubts one of my better decisions. No change planned.Romy, to be honest, I lost interest in those super expensive digital units after ...

1) I play a CD on an 'excellent' CD transport. I take the digital output from this (spdif or AES) and connect it to a PC interface (a Lynx or RME card). I capture the digital output on the PC as a .wav file using Wavelab or something similar.2) I...

RomyI was able to copy your file into the Korg. I also copied in the Reference Recording HrX demo files. Using the Korg AudioGate PC interface, I played the tracks back through my PC sound card. With the Korg software, the recorded levels of the trac...

After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

Arno, I have plenty at my site that describes in great detains why and what I do not like in idea of single driver with back-loaded horn. Build it and hear what you will be getting. The software you are irrelevant. There are no intended or not inte...

For horns mounted on or near the floor, we have a phantom image below the floor plane. In theory, this means we could make that horn a half circle or similar, with a tremendous advantage in real estate. The theoretical advantages of reduced diffracti...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

How did you determine that it is the horn. What makes you think that you can damp a horns mouth at 200 Hz. Have you never read what a room does to frequencies under 400 Hz? If not, check this site out: http://amroc.andymel.euMaxx, I think that you ar...

Well, rowuk, I still do not think that when you are talking about what you are taking about then you are talking about standing wave. The standing waves are nothing more than persistent room gain. I think when you are talking about what you are talki...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

[quote user="N-set"]Anthony, I'm sure you realize that air springs and bearings can only isolate from the structure born vibrations. Placing the tubes so close to the speakers you give them a great chance to catch strong airborne vibrations. Or will ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Still, I feel that methodologically it is not right
way to build a playback. [/quote]No disagreement from me on this point. This is all just a thought bubble for now. Even if I wanted to press go on this project based ...

While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms? So far, results I've he...
