[quote user="Thorsten"]Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen. ...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

"Then there are flutter echo like bathroom sounds that horns also sometime produce, especially if they have a glossy surface."What I meant was that the glossy surface causes a effect that is like or resembles the hard fluttery sound...

Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

Actually a Tapped Horn would be bigger than a sealed enclosure, here is one of my first TH tests. The sound is very different than the sound coming form a Sealed encolsure. My first impression was that the bass was gone! There was no bass sensati...

Stitch I can't understand why some people in this site are trying to be a mini Romy,you included. I read what Romy writes and you don't need to repeat it.It's very strange you KNOW what was playing in that particular room without being there. Anyhow ...

A given driver might sound very different when it's deployed in different ways, so putting it in a box just might make it sound "better" to you (vs. OB), for your particular application. But why did you choose this driver? What about its sound att...

Actually there are many hidden aspects of DPOLS, the aspects that, many audio people who never experienced DPOLS but wiling to argue about it, do not even understand. Interesting that by observing some of this aspects is it very easy to detect where ...

Romy -
I am interested in how you personally discovered dpols for your own personal reference. You Say:
"Actually it is not
really correct because if you approach the DPoLS from the position of
“tweaking” then you NEVER di...

One big thing for Gordon Holt was to create a standardized language to be used to describe what we hear. If you think about it, this task is made very difficult by the fact that there are really very few aural-centric modifiers; rather most des...

This is an interesting question.Audio is the reproduction of sound. What one makes of an audio system has to do with one's goals in life, not audio in general, as it is a tabula rasa, more or less.For myself I have found that I seek a connectio...

Last week I did not have a change to play music home but during this weekend I eventually had a change to spin some records. I bought last week a record that I was hunting for a while and was eagerly expected to hear it. It was Nicolay Golovanov’s pe...

The Vienna Philharmonic sees itself as having inherited a body of instrument types which at the end of the 18th century reflected the prevailing intellectual spirit and value system, not only of central Europe, but to a certain extent of the entire c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I can tell you that it is very much unknown if it work. Well, we need to defend what is “it” and what would be the definition of “work”. In my response you missed a very critical element - the notion of “starving grounds” a...

Hi Romy ,well I appreciate the reply anyway! I have been reading your many threads and yes some on the Lowther designs but as you know your writings are a large large volume also and I havent made my way thru them all yet. As far as my room I could b...

Looking for off the shelf solutions of the adjustable port idea I came across to an Illinois company Precision Sound that looks like specializes on ports themselves.

A local GSC member took me up to THE Show, in Newport Beach, CA. This was the first audio show I've attended in over 25 years. It was way more frenetic than any audio show I remember. Lousy sound everywhere, of course, and no good music, and the c...

Hi RomyI have never purchased a manufactured loudspeaker I've built my own and they were all much more interesting musically than any that I've herd on the market.After seeing the CES voodoo you get an understanding that it is about(the con...

Timothy,
My “understanding” whatever you feel I understood “after seeing the CES voodoo” neither changed nor evolved in any directions. My level of tolerance changed but it was it.
However, I feel that you mistakably “deciphered” my message. ...

Hi all ! [quote user="morricab"]
Hi Romy,
