[quote user="cv"]Yet, I don't think the "safety" aspect may be neglected; I suspect he feels more comfortable with coils running at low voltage than (what I guess was) 200-400V or so. [/quote]Yes, you are right. But it must not be at the expense of t...

[quote user="moreart"]oh yes, show me ![/quote]Just an example:I can show you at least 20 other backloaded horns with different drivers which I have heard here in Bulgaria.Moreart, your main problem is the quality of the drivers you use. All those fo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

Needless to say the sonic impressions I am
getting at the shows may be deceptive and always are very
preliminary: that's the nature of an event like that. Who knows
what's happening in the mains while I am listening, may b...

[quote user="MINGSU"]I think you pointed out correctly. GOTO sell speaker driver and not a system - because it is impossible to pre-config a multi-horn system to fit every buyer's room and sound taste.As a business, I offer the full service of insta...

This week two audio persons visited me. Both of them experimenting with loudspeakers of own design and during their visit I discounted my Macondo channels and demonstrated to then the contribution of the each channel to Macondo Sound. Both of them di...

Dominik, in terms of technology advancement, it seems their new driver is better than their other models. But despite this, I’m not sure their transducer engineer knows how to make the drivers to be valuable in terms of sound/tone. I’m saying that n...

Thanks, Dominik, an interesting driver and an interesting direction. JBL is probably one of the few large companies that that do something “pushy” with sound. Still, what they do and even if what they do objectively advantageous I am not sure that it...

The more I think about reproduced sound the more disassociated I find myself with the mainstream audio people. Really, I do not share may of their objective and what in mass audio hysteria is considered essential and prominent does not impress me, fu...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,I looked at your Melq schematic : http://www.goodsoundclub.com/PDF/Melquiades_SET.pdf regarding the 6E5P bias. Would it be simpler to use two alkaline battery in place of R5 to provide 3V , or 3 Rechargeable for 3.6V ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The “expedited” sound
shorten a bit the decay time/volume and makes transients more prevailing. This
is what very commonly audio people feel as “quality” but I degree with it.
[/quote]Romy, in my previous response I ...

Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I got burned that I am looking...

Hi Angelo,Thanks for the kind words about our website.Hmmmm... it is really difficult to make the sound of the Avalon speakers have no depth or imaging (I presume you are referring to the Opus or Eidolon? Their small Symbol speakers do indeed sound a...

The only reason I have brought this up is because it is interesting to me when someone with experience, manufacturing capabilities and capital tries to make the best speakers he can, and I have heard and noted the best he can do over many years. And...

I mounted the new Jubilee last night. I did not have much time to listen it and all that I heard was just a half side of a record that I know well. The Jubilee was at 2.3g, no enforced VTA, loaded to 75R, the 3012 arm with default shell: I have no id...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

New member, first post, so go easy on me!Ive been playing around with clocks in digital audio for a while. Current system uses a DCS Scarlatti stack with the Scarlatti clock. Synching to the Scarlatti clock rather than using the Scarlatti DAC as mast...

As far as I remember the former presentations in the latest version there is less softening by the amps without sacrificing tonal neutrality and the digitally controlled bass section has less problems with the room. Mr. Martion always plays a very br...

Dan,
I do not know were you’re going with “next step”, but I do see that some people treat interaction at this site as another swamp of DIY movement. This endless DIY paranoia when people pursuit abstract BS objectives and fulfill bogus frustrations...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] And what they were doing, at CES 2006, was fine indeed. [/quote]
Nope it was not. Cogent sound was not near as interesting as it could/should be, and the Cogent boys know it, or at least they are slowly learning it.&...

Martinelli Sound is US based hornmaker. It offers small HF and MF rectangular but semi-nicely rounded horns, hoverer, as I understand they are opened for custom solutions as well. I did not see Martinelli Sound’s making a big splash among horn enthus...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Without mentioning the reasons here are a few pointers:
1) There is no proper tone 2) Horizontal imaging is less refined then I would like it to be. 3) Sound is not wet enough. 4) At high volume...

Ok, I figured that while my midbass horn is being built (the carpenter stared yesterday) I it a good time to lay with HF treatment of my room. I took me sail out –look ugly, lowered the blinds (with expose glass it is pure nightmare) and begin to thi...

Romy, I must be missing something, because this suggests to me an old studio sound board. I think the serious "good stuff" is mostly re-built and back in service with Vintage-Style recording/mixing guys; but maybe you only need parts?Or, what about ...

N-set, it is nice to see that you are keep punching the idea, somebody shall, I guess.. About the filters. For the low-pass and in this application I do not use inductors and much prefer RC filter. In LC filters the band-pass flows over coil. If we a...
