KHARMA AS THE SYMBOL OF THE INDUSTRY SONIC ASTRAY is very good illustration and I had already see the birth of the Industry high-end of the future.[/quote]I agree. An excellent illustration in fact: it looks good ...

Tweet, supersonic whistle, tooth polishing device. All in one!...

...However, "a 2000 RPM meat slicer chopping the music up into little pieces" is, admittedly, more eloquent!Some time ago, I played around with a Kharma model (the big one that has woofers and the 3-in-one tweet**) at a friend's house. The furni...

When grouped together, audiophiles fall in between the Dark Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance.The occult fights against religion for providing the ultimate answers to all fundamental sonic and existential questions; agnostics should be b...

IME (i.e. some pm's one dx), the Ex-4 sounds the most civilised -- and this, only up to ~10kHz or 1-2kHz lower.It doesn't sound bad in a tractrix, unlike Paul S' experience with a dx4.A horn is also useful to provide some extra spl (106 spl at 1+m wi...

I have a cousin who is autistic. He is happy most of the time but he isn't really able to communicate his feelings to anyone else. He is also a very talented musician who plays the violin & piano very well. There are many interesting aspect...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...

Hi Dominic,
I have some Rola's. Although intended (in organs etc) for quite widerange use I'm not sure that for listening to music they should be allowed to go too high. The other thing I found was that what lower frequencies they produced were more...

Admittedly, I just noticed.As Sherlock Holmes would have said: before your mentioning it, "I saw but did not observe"!...

There's B D at http://www.bd-design.nl/Also a chap who claimed to have molds for 150 & 200 tractrix and [url=http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=hug&m=105942]posted[/url] to that effect at the Asylum.There's also a Belgian called Phil ...

I heard the top parts played on their own as compact monitors. As such they are sold here for something like £6000/pr ($11000) It is an exercise in Star Wars inspired industrial design and not really for listening to music. As a result I'm sure...

OTOH, take away the noise and most audiophiles will find the presentation “lifeless”, which just about puts my kvetching into perspective, I think.Paul S[/quote]Well, I once tried s/thing similar at a gathering of audiophiles. ...

Sorry to keep returning like this. Thought I;d mention a tweet that unexpectedly impressed me favourably -- the Murata ESTD01 (these are their "serious" tweets -- not the "audiophile" tweets). Nice. Directly connected, enters strong at ~14kHz, by its...
|
|
and having run through this discussion it seems to me that most tweets are crap -- in that they're stand alone, not easily mated with other quality drivers: the moment you end up with a higher sensitivity, good performance (or better) MF, you're doom...

...say like a Supravox at around 99dB: http://www.supravox.fr/mesures/mestg11.htm for some measurements and http://www.supravox.fr/haut_parleurs/tg1.htm for data. They rate it for 98dB but when I heard it, it measured a bit more at over 11k...

By looking at it this looks like a magnetostatic (isodynamic?) design rather than a ribbon. There's a Danish guy who has done good research on the subject: http://www.soundimage.dk/Different-col/Magneto.htm (you can click on "ribbon" for more in...

I believe this system was actually developed for people living in parts of the world where the electricity supply is truly terrible, in the first instance a customer living in a more remote part of Thailand. I believe that the number of batterie...

Hi Pete,You have a similar size room to me. I'd rather like a large 4 or 5 way setup but don't have the space. I use the S2's (in barbaric stylee) in damped RH330's. Beneath them I use a frontloaded (folded) bass horn Vitavox made called the Oracle. ...

I might also be interested and am in the UK. Any rough idea of price?rgsGuy...

I think the sorry state of the music industry (s/ware, sound) is primarily due to:a) the trend toward audioVISUAL and the ensuing market for productsb) how people listen to musicA) I believe this is self-explanatory; the bulk of the market invests in...

Hi Romy,Its good to hear you are now getting this horn to work more as you'd wish.Perhaps Vitavox weren't such barbarians after all?!!!CN458 Schematic (500 Hz)
What values are you using?rgs,Guy...

This would involve some researching... thus introduing (possibly unecessary) complexity: look for a Sony or Yamaha or Sansui "power j-fet" amp. These were produced s/where in the mid '70s and should be very cheap now. I have listened to a Yamaha...

Hi Romy,I listened to the bigger brothers of this last weekend. The first smps amps I have heard that I didn't need to turn off straight away. Certainly cool running with plenty of power. It wouldn't replace your valve amps but might be entertaining ...

I think it might be more interesting to read and then evaluate the book itself than to evaluate one or two individuals' reviews of the book. That's always the case with books, films, music or whatever. I would always try to ignore reviewers opinions ...

Romy,I feel you may be doing John Attwood a disservice here. There are two reviews of this book. The first one which you quote extensively from appears to have been written by Lynn Olson. The second, much shorter review is John Attwoods. While h...

Hi Romy,I have listened to one of these alot recently although unfortunately I don't own one!http://www.dejavuaudio.com/PREAMPS-KONDO-KSL-M77.HTMI'm sure you wouldn't enjoy it at all but others might and ought to try to at least hear one if they have...

Hi Romy,Up to what frequency do you suppose the aerolam cabinet has an advantage over a more conventional, braced, birch ply enclosure? Is it possible to tell?As I recall, the main difference between the SL6 and SL600 was in the quality of what low b...
