truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...
|
|
somehow i missed that moment in macondo development when you introduced S3 as a low mid driver so this came as a surprise to me - what i remember is that you didn't write so favourably of S3 back in 2004 due to its ceramic magnet. but it's good t...

Would you have to play it back on a super electricity day to hear the difference?...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] What however I fell is shameful in the images above, besides bad taste, is that fact that a president of a country and prime-minister of a county did not find own country audio to make the pictures. Presidents do not plug ...

Good to see that one of them has enough of an interest in music to gather these items together.http://iceaxe.livejournal.com/738534.htmlBut which one? Whose system is it?...

I truly have no referenced between the technologies you mentioned and the actual results.
A wise man on this forum once said (actually he said it many times), "Do not attempt to replace a component until you have identified a problem with ...

The folks who know HT told me that the light force of projector must be matched with gain of my screen and if the ratio is off for a few Lux then my roof will collapse. This really can't be true because you will lose some 50% of the light o...

Stewart screens are probably the most highly regarded screens. Their website has a lot of detail including measurements of the "cans" that hold motorized screens. The cans are not all that big so you may be happy with flush mounting to the ceiling. Y...

Is there no way to smooth out the visible steps in the latter part of the horn's expansion or would you prefer not to?...

If you want to keep it really simple just buy an Oppo BDP-83SE ($800) and use its two-channel audio analog outs to an amp with volume controls. All the setup features you need are in the Oppo including the downmix to 2.0.A new projector will run you ...

Can you remind us how & why you arrived at the resonance frequency you have set for these drivers in this particular horn?...

Thanks Romy, I understand what you're saying about the anti-skate now. Mine is definitely not working, so I'll see if can carefully open it up and have a look. So you dissassembled two arms eh? Were you trying to modify them, or just curious? I'm act...

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I would discard the test disk truck– I never use it. Take a silent space between the cuts (test disk!) and make a needle at your operational VTF to be in stationary ay a bit more than a half record.In fact it is ar...

I recently picked up a MAX-282 tone arm and when setting it up with my test record I'm getting buzzing in the right channel during the bias test tracks. Changing the anti-skating setting has no audible effect. On other arms I have if I set the VTF to...

It seems over the course of Micro's big TTs they came out with bigger and bigger armboards. They all started with single-post boards, then at some point they started selling the double-post boards (maybe with the SX-8000), then finally with the SX-50...

Romy, besides via the radio, did you ever have the opportunity to hear either the 948 or 950 in a domestic installation?...

My experience is similar to Zako. I regularly attend Classical Concerts at the same venue and deliberately purchase tickets in different seating positions. Sitting high up in the auditorium I cannot localise instruments. If I close my eyes the wh...

Hi Romy, I wonder whether you could advance on the octal voltage regulator testing on the Milq, and what your conclusions were. As I have already seen Milq on your new home still with the 0A2s I can assume you weren't much satisfied but as I am goi...

Do you have impressions on this CD (I know it's probably on another league than the ones you mentioned above) or perhaps you can suggest your "Romy's choice for Dvorak's New World Symphony record"? I don't own a turntable and given the cost...

Dear Romy,
I truly am sorry to hear about your loss. You certainly do not deserve this. If it is any consolation you might like to check out
the following website for an insight into the Bent transformers in relation to Expres...

Here are a few answers1. a, 84 Hz b, 4.8 inches square c, Hyperbolic exponential, T 0.8 1/2 Pi d, none so far on upper bass horn. S2 and 2405 have series capacitors feeding them. e, Eminence Kappa 12. 4. Both tweeter and S2 ca...

I recently completed some upper bass horns which I'm now enjoying very much. Sadly I lack the skills of someone like Jessie so my efforts are crude in comparison, but they are working well for me which is the main thing.I already had some old frontlo...

It would be interesting to hear this recorded at a more sensible level. Enjoyable music & playing (I think)[IMG]http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh107/pure_sound/Solerscreengrab.jpg[/IMG]It has the quality of a ballet dancer wearing hobnail boo...

I meant the upper end of the LF horn response. Firing it downwards at the floor as they do and then expecting good performance at 200-300Hz in the listening position is a tall order. There may also be some confusion where the mid horn takes over.I'v...
|
|
It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. Although the mid horn probably has an Fc of 200Hz the associated driver isn't going to be functioning optimally at the crossover point either. How well this marr...

Hi Romy,I just talked to someone who has tried the APC 2 KVA regenerator and apparently used it with a plinius SA102 power amp . it apparently is excellent and also able to take the load of the amp. Not sure on how better it is vis-a-vis a Purepower ...

Hi,
Have been going through this thread with great interest. Am also in the market for a good regenerator and have been doing some reading up on the online converting UPS. would anyone have any experiences with any of the commercial online UPS...

Not really interested in Koetsu cartridges, have yet to hear a good one.I am interested in this name though. Shouldn't it be Azure and somewhere the R has been substituted for an L? It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. Permendule is so...
