| Room correction room system vs ears…. I am a devotee of high quality DSP room correction. I have done some room treatment, heavy curtains behind the speakers, overstuffed furniture, etc., but my system didn't come into focus until I had programmed my DEQX DSP room correction and repr... | |
| Time-Phase-Alignment- Point Source-Classical Musicians I feel that I get very good results using my DEQX HD4 DSP to time and phase align my triamplified fully horn loaded DIY speakerts. | |
| Pass labs upgrade path Welcome back Miller Carbon. I very often disagree with you, but I really enjoy your posts. | |
| New Dennis Had amps Mr. Had's amp work sounds much like Nelson Pass with First Watt amps. Coincidentally I replaced Had designed Cary Audio 2a3 SET monoblocks with First Watt F3s. I feel that wrought a nice improvement in SQ with the midrange and super tweeter driv... | |
| First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35 I agree with the OP about First Watt F3s. They are splendid amps for those of us with very efficient speakers. I use two F3s to power the midrange and super tweeter horns of my DIY fully horn loaded triamplified speakers. The F3s replaced Cary ... | |
| Mcintosh amplifiers and preamps In 1972 my wife and I bought a Mac 2105 power amp. It has never been repaired or refurbished. It is still playing in my son's basement party room. For half a century it has played music every time it is turned on. I imagine it is in great nee... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I use a Degritter ultra Sonic record cleaning machine, and I find it to be very effective with older LPs, and it is very easy to use. I have hundreds of older LPs I "inherited" from various people when folks were discarding their LPs in favor of ... | |
| Clearaudio Concept and Audio Technica AT6006R tonearm lifter??? Very neat installation. It looks like it came from the factory that way. I have the Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm. The arrangement where the tone arm post meets the plinth is quite different from your Concept. I haven'... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? inna wrote: "Bass gives a foundation. This is a very big disadvantage of high efficiency design. " I respectfully beg to differ. My fully horn loaded DIY speakers have a measured output at 25 Hz that is identical to the 1kHz reference. Ther... | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza I am holding out for room temperature superconductors before I replace any of my patch cords or speaker wires. | |
| Open invite Several years ago I invited a fellow horn enthusiast I met on another audio forum to visit and hear my system. I didn't expect him to accept since he lived in the Netherlands. About a year later he told me he, his wife and son were visiting the ... | |
| "High end speaker covers" do we need them? How expensive were the covers? | |
| "A life's quest - the Contendo II Horn speaker system is realized How do they sound? | |
| Magico Ultimate III - $700,000 Speakers Magico calls these horn speakers, but they are actually hybrid speakers that include horns. Horn bass is the icing on the cake. I would prefer Living Voice Vox Olympians with horn subs for about the same money. | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive I use the Pass Labs XP-17 phonostage, and I am delighted with it. I have used many phono preamps, both tube and solid state, over the last fifty years and the XP-17 provides the most realistic, warm, beautiful analog sound I have heard in my syst... |
