| Why not horns? My friend has meticulously set up his Trios with 3 pairs of bass horns in a dedicated and purpose built room with every little trick and room correction you could think of. That doesn't mean he did it all correctly, only that he spent a lot of ti... | |
| Why not horns? Hi Terry, you are a known to be harmless wacko so welcome at any time :>) I had lunch with Nathan last month and he seems to be doing well. It would be nice to get the old gang together. I can accommodate a small crowd but need to get my wife o... | |
| Why not horns? M'Jack, you know I post things like "stop by" and then get to thinking about all of the wackos on the internet (not you) and get nervous about having strangers stop by. Call me paranoid but you never know. John Wayne Gacy seemed like such a nice g... | |
| Why not horns? Ralph, yes, if you look at my system you see I have a big problem with time alignment. The woofers are 16 feet long and I decided that a digital delay was worth a try. First I tried a Behringer DCX2496 which was heavily modified to bypass the crap... | |
| Why not horns? they suck the life right out of the musicI sit here tapping my toe, rocking back and forth with a big grin. The life has not been sucked out of the music. I get the same response from seasoned audiophiles as well as complete newbees who sit slacke... | |
| Why not horns? Ralph, is that a fair comparison? Dismissing DSP in the home because the master tapes sound better in the studio? I've got a ton of 44.1K recordings that DSP can only hope to make better , not worse. My computer is doing 64 bit calculations on my ... | |
| Why not horns? Is that for the horn or the horn + driver? If for the horn that's pretty expensive. You can get a solid wood horn from Jeffrey for a whole lot less.I tried http://www.acoustichorn.com on 2 computers and can't get anywhere. It would seem that you h... | |
| Why not horns? No matter what his rational for doing so what you have is an approximation of a horn. The reason for doing so is simple. It is much easier to make a wooden cone with flat panels than a true horn. From what I've read these compromises really become... | |
| Why not horns? Macro, you should look into getting a true horn for that compression driver. What you have looks more like a megaphone than a horn. I don't doubt you are pleased with the sound from it but I wonder what it would sound like with what I would call a... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Ralph, I get what you are saying, and I may try it sometime, but I don't use a bypass cap. I have the filament current of my input tube going through the cathode resistor to establish bias. That R is only a few ohms so too low to do what you say.T... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Ralph, you are such a tease. | |
| Why not horns? phase shift via non-dispersive polarity inversionI'm going to remember that so I can completely confuse somebody the next time this topic comes up :>) | |
| Why not horns? the word Phase describes a relationship it can be applied to anything reallyWeseixas, Phase and polarity have very definite meanings in electronics. Just because phase has different meanings in different contexts does not mean you can use it howev... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? Ralph, I agree with all of that. I wasn't very clear when I said for everything to work as designed you have to have a circuit capable of producing 2 signals that are exactly the same except for their polarity.I never meant to make any correlation... | |
| Why not horns? I'm glad to see we agree that horns are magical.. |
