Actually my interest with Bruckner in a way was very much associated
with Clark. A couples years back, when I confronted him with that memory, my
wife even begin to express to Clark her gratitude and she got a husband out of this
deal (Amy and I m...

Clark Johnsen’s passed away yesterday. I visited him in hospital a few months back, had
a good talk about life and about end. Clark was probably the most interesting listener
who visited my listening room. We had the strangest conversations someti...

Tequilahut, you might google the definition of “cargo cult”,
this is exactly what you are proposing, no offence intended. You are trying to
make something that YOU think looks like “horns” but in reality what you proposing
are sonic pipes. This br...

I think the true definition of good enough is not located in
sonic domains, certainly not in audio domain and not even not in musical
domain. I know a few guys in past who here very high caliber technical interpreters,
high-level directors, CTO an...

Tequilahut, the question that was posted in this thread was
very good one: “What mistakes can we avoid?” Unfortunately, the answer is very complex
and to a degree you will not get it now, no disrespect intended. Let me try to begin
to explain it t...

Yes, of cause I have experimented with the resistors quality. The way how the resistor
is used in the feedback loop in my view make is less relevant. The feedback resistor
is applied to high impedance source that make less signal to flow other the ...

Driving home today and was listening in radio the enumeration
of the closing schools, canceled events due to the virus that all sounded like it
has some harmonics… I was digging in my

The last week Amy played BPO concert. A part of program was Liszt’s
second piano concerto, that typically hated but I always liked it. I did not have a lot of expectation but what I

I think to a degree we misguided with our expectations as we
feel that the answer is in directly heard sound. We attributed to sound some properties
and we evaluating the properties are trying to make judgments about sound. I am

Ok, you did experiment with loading
and found that make you MF to idle more sound to was too "in your
face". It is fare but was it delivering better "tactile" sensations. You understand
that less loading of one of your channels should make
you to...

Rowuk, first of all, I very much recommend you do not undertake the Paul’s advice and do not go for any implementation of bass with bigger drivers or more driver of different topology of bass section like OB and so on. For sure better bass would ...

Good question, rowuk, particularly by the fact that you are
looking a way not how to get it but to understand the ways to get there. Also,
I am very glad that you are not taking about “slam music” but about, where good
bass certainly shine but abo...

There is a very minor percentage of what David is telling that
I am not exactly agree. Mostly it has to do with some simplifications and shortcuts
David took, avoiding the phenomena of judgment maturation and the degree of precision
with which the...

DorinD, I would like you to understand
my response in a proper context. I did not mean to slur the audio result you
are getting by equating it with $200 boom box. Well, I did but it is not

Over the years listening various iterant radio streams I accumulated
some collection of public and some obscured and more clandestine bookmarks that
I like to listen sometimes. They are 128K to 320K streams, some of them better or
worse in term of...

DorinD, the objective you
posts for yourself was “getting best
audio-reproduction realism in a dining-room with reasonable cost. And time is
pretty cheap for an DIY amateur.” And I think you did very well. I do feel
that investing no more then $2...
