| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms Hmmm....Wolf, if I had regular visits from people I suspected might be 'serial speaker pokers', or even a new one that might suffer from that same 'mental disturbance'....I'd keep a pair of poultry shears in plain sight. Perhaps next to your unit... | |
| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms Folded ribbons (AMT's) are smoother and seem to be 'effortless' in their response to my tin ears. They're also high in SAF, as it's been noted that the f/m of our species seem to respond better to them.In my experience, you can listen longer and ... | |
| Vintage Krell Amp... Which would you choose? You bought it, you broke it. I'll buy you a beer and listen to you complain.I won't take you seriously. And a limit to my sympathy. ;) | |
| Vintage Krell Amp... Which would you choose? I'd get a vintage Crown over a Krell. May not have the 'panache' of a Krell, but they tended to be more 'bomb-proof'.And as for heat, get a clue. I run 'puter fans on my amps. Quiet, efficient insurance for peace of mind, and cheap. Maybe not ... | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have Yes....like motorcycles and motorcyclists when they gather, "You run what you brung."Remember? We used to listen and be happy with equipment that now we'd equate with paper cups and string for communication.One could sniff and laugh at what I lis... | |
| Another musician has died As for all, the warranty runs out. Spares n/a, the service calls can't fix the issues, and the manufacturer's toll-free number has been disconnected......and music stops for all, and the Silence ensues."Dance, Kali, dance."Dance while you can. D... | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid Born in L.A., moved to S.F. in my mid-20's, on to Houston mid-40s'. Remember all of those names and places, where I'd go to with 'itchy ears' but a anemic wallet. Got to hear nearly all of the legendary 'super toys'...the first Ohms, big Infinit... | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? Greg, there you go. You do what you deem appropo. Just because 'we' can act uncouth and annoying, doesn't mean you need to stoop. Your game, your game plan....run it. ;) | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? IMHO, it began in earnest when cell providers started 'giving away' cells with contracts. People noted the retail price of the item, and began to think that this sort of pricing might apply to any electronic item. This line of reasoning was augm... | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell My pair of ESS AMT tweeters. Haven't heard anything with my tin ears that I've liked as much to bother keeping. I enjoy my DIY Walsh's, but they're not heavy enough to weigh my ashes down when I get tossed into the French Broad River (last chanc... | |

Call family from a new cell, destroy it.6. Send significant family some cash so they could get lost too.7. Contemp... | |

Anyway, if you've made it to this point, this is what I've been enjoying sounds like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10HjqHXpZtU&feature=youtu.beThese are V.3's with an 'Infinity' styled tweeter. V.4 is under development...they'll look simila... | |
| North Carolina Audio Club If anybody stumbles into this forum, I'm in Asheville. I wouldn't mind hearing from some local 'philes, but Please don't expect to see/hear a megabuck system in a pristine environment. Far from that...but if you'd like to offer a pair of ears to... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers ...and then there's a few of us that feel that Ohm 'lost it's religion' long ago. HHR took up the banner, and German Physiks moved on with the intent of the original patent. Flipping a conventional woofer, however 'modified', really isn't a Wals... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? BTB, since this thread seems to be pretty dead...If you've any interest in what I'm doing currently, you might follow the address above. There's more activity there, both from yours truly and from other parties interested in diy Walsh drivers. In ... |
