As far as I know is a UK based company. I contacted them some time ago, and they can provide the nude transformers for a way more affordable price than Bent or Music First that use S&B's in their products.
Contact them at this address: info@stevens-...

[quote user="angeloitacare"]hi Pauli had already Altec horns, and comparing them to wood horns, they really sound poor. What i really doubtis if someone is able to hear the difference between high gloss finish/ high porosity surface of horns.I ...

I have no experience with bass horns, but I suppose that any sound source into a given size room can excite its modes, hence a big bass horn or a line array of boxed woofers can be equally annoying in that regard. So if the idea of using horns is to ...

It directs to a "brochure" jpg with no information about any amp. Would you care to develope your opinion about the "interesting amp" by de Lima? I would like to know why in spite of not finding its sound of any special interest, you still find it wo...

This makes a lot more of sense to me. I understood you wrongly and I believed that the product "as is" and a priori can be interesting as a whole. I think that the design is interesting for the horn implementation, the horn themselves (look quite sol...

Maybe it has some interest but:- Backloaded bass horns- 2" midrange driver with Beryllium membrane- 1" tweeter with Beryllium membrane- 0.5" super-tweeter "a la beryllium"sounds quite worrying to me.Nothing is said about the upperbass channel dr...

If I brought a pair of those into my living room my wife would put me out of the house.That design makes no sense to me either, I wouldn't be jumping on a plane to France to pay a listen. There are other more interesting manufacturers over here.Rgrds...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You would not need any “special” A/D converters, as I did impose any demeaned to “quality”. All you that you need to have a more or less reasonable tuner, a good antenna, strong reception and an ability to write it up at 24...

in this experience. I agree that FM broadcasts from live performances or live taped performances have the features that make music like nothing else in audio. It's the source I enjoy most and that is more educative for me. I would be happy participat...

I think we are speaking about different things, you speak about real High End which should be best possible sound quality to serve a musical purpose, and I'm speaking about a High End industry which doesn't give a damn about musical performance, beca...

In what way do they sound different from FM recordings? What for were they recorded? I mean that maybe they weren't live performances but final rehearsals using more mikes than for broadcasting... Interesting observation anyway. Maybe it's the Sansui...

Maybe you didn't mean that it would be necessary or even desirable the existence of some "tailor audio", though I understood it implicitly. It's my fault. Custom audio (and not DIY as it's commonly practiced) is something that might work fo...
|

I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it), and you take it as is, p...

But one needs the right tool for the right job. I don't think Milq could teach me what I need to learn using my current speakers, in spite I've driven them with low power SETs with acceptable (just sound-wise) results.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]...Th...

over here. By now there's no HD FM and digital radio uses other frequencies. My pity is that I only have ONE good classical station, but it still puzzles me how it can sound so good. Probably it has to do with compression. Once they broadcasted a con...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

All you need is knowing the exact length required to ask for the matching diameter. Probably a bike tube will do. You can cut it as a ribbon or in a string shape. This way you'd avoid any discontinuity for glueing several pieces. From one tube you co...

can have a strong enough field to interact with the cartridge, but electrostatic charge, if created, might have an influence in the way the needle contacts the vinyl.Romy, did you notice if the disc had more static than usual?Rgrds....

Just speculating, but a tense wire can transmit vibration way better than a loose one. Perhaps to have an accurate bass response you need to keep low frequency oscillations away from the platter, and the tight tape helps to drain them to the rest of ...

I owned a Luxman LV-117 which I found pretty "right" musically driving some 93dB/w/m JBL's I had eons ago. In its time, there was a LV-103 which was also well regarded, but that I never listened to, so I cannot talk about it. They can ...

and the violin pieces by Fieldman, which I find more of my interest. My question was just to know if for your taste there were other interesting ones, for instance I like the LvB's 5th a lot, but never heard of Prohaska, nor I ever heard of Lili...

Their price is not exactly "budget". The description sounds interesting, but I'd like to know if you have listened to any yourself and can recommend some for being an interesting performance worth a listen.Rgrds,A...

Hi,The tech guy asked for 2800 euros for a monoblock pair, and his project wasn't really the same what Romy and Dima designed, it had some modifications that I wasn't sure wouldn't spoil the results. On the other hand my speakers aren't as sensitive ...

because the few ones that come to mind (not ported but low sensivity) wouldn't fit your high requirements. That's why if you found some interesting monitors I'd like to know it, specially as a learning tool....

It's a MM/MC phono stage which at maximum gain provides 74dB. The price 329 GBP, higher if ordered with dedicated PSU, but that price includes "wallwart" AC transformer. You can take a look here: http://www.trichordresearch.com/dino.html They do...

One was the Llano Design Group's Trinity, which had 300wpc. The first stage was tube and was in a separated enclosure providing voltage amplification, while the second stage used transistors for current amplification. I guess it was pure cl...

it's possible that the headphones can't handle the lower bass response and you're suffering some low bass distortion, maybe below 30Hz, coming from the own headphones.Rgrds...

It would be very interesting if you could perform a FFT analysis down to 5 Hz using some pink noise. I get that same headache when listening to speakers that induce too much low frequency load into a room.rgrds,A...

I'll chech van Rijen's site, thanks for the tip. I was afraid Khachaturian wasn't on your interest spot, his music is not as meaningful in the deep sense of intentions and maybe "ethics" as Beethoven's, nor as innovative and complex as Mussorgsk...
