    What cables are you using in your system ?????

    I thought the same for years. I recommend you borrow a Cinch+speaker cable from the Echole Oris series. I predict that after the second song you will say "damn, that's how it's supposed to sound". I'll spare you empty words that don't really describe what happens when you play music with these...

    Line Source Dipole Versus Point Source Cone: Which Soundstage Presentation is More Realistic?

    big coax speaker 12~15" with horn driver make realistic razor-sharp arrangement of musicians and instruments possible for me. this big advantage over other concepts is not for nothing. a big cone e.g. 15" usually breaks up just under 1khz and starts to bundle strongly (increase in sensitivity)...

    Thorens New TT

    A lot of people say the thorens prestige was the better turntable as the reference. Heavier platter ,better suspension. Looks good not so overdressed,let's see if we can listen to the new ones in a private setting. I'm excited

    Horns....Avantgarde vs. Cessaro

    I can only show you what it looks like in principle since I no longer own these speakers. Just imagine a larger opening in the baffle for Fostex horn tweeters. This was attached to the back of the baffle with a clamp ring. This meant you could slide it back and forth to set the correct...

    Horns....Avantgarde vs. Cessaro

    One my favorite configuration in openbaffle. 18"monacor 25-65hz active ripol bass from 65hz -6000hz supravox 285gmf(~100db) without xover from 6khz-30khz a fostex t 500 (100db)magnesium horndriver with 3.3uf cap. A L pad network (resistors)may need to be added in front of the tweeter. That...

    Horns....Avantgarde vs. Cessaro

    I have tested in openbaffle too, if you separate the RT 64 below 1khz with a 12db filter the thing sounds excellent harmonically above 1khz there is a 5db jump in sensitivity up to 5khz. That is unbearable for me. you can put notch filter in. I had used it from 80 hz to 1khz. You need a good...

    Horns....Avantgarde vs. Cessaro

    tastes are different I find it intrusive I couldn't listen to this driver to music for long periods of time.

    Horns....Avantgarde vs. Cessaro

    Poor is perhaps the wrong word, they should have used a larger driver from the Supravox family to bring more substance and power to the music playback. I am a big fan of the Beta system. For me it is one of the most harmonious that I know with good tubes p.s with front loaded bass

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    Who needs resolution, a precise deep bass or clear undamped highs? He leaves everything out and focuses on the important thing: the music. It dampens the material of the turntable (stainless steel high speed of sound) and creates a good synergy. The most important thing in HiFi systems.

    Direct Coupled Drivers Vs Crossover

    If you like balanced sound, bass control, precision and impulse speed, then buy something like this. It will be difficult to find something better, no matter what the price tag says. A nice feature is that you can tap the signal from XLR or RCA output socket and pass it on to another power...

    Progression from the Ortofon Jubilee MC

    The official successor is Cadenza Black, same cantilever and stylus. Unfortunately the price has gone up so much. At first it cost 2.1k€ and now it costs 3.4k€. You should check to see if there is something nicer in that price range. https://shop.my-sound.net/products/ortofon-mc-cadenza-black...

    Direct Coupled Drivers Vs Crossover

    Tube pre 6922 i think a load under 20kohm from two power amps ist difficult, maybe with short rca cables. Maybe a nelson pass analog active xover with short cables is a better solution . Then have you have low ohm output j-fet buffer to drive better diffrent two amps...

    Direct Coupled Drivers Vs Crossover

    What is output impedance from your preamp? I think no need for isolation transformer the cold signal path is bridged to ground. The tweeter is crossed at 2 khz and 10" cone is lower then 200 hz Exact values will only bring measurement, disconnect the speaker cable from the woofer and then only...

    Direct Coupled Drivers Vs Crossover

    Disconnect the woofer cable from the passive xover. Get yourself a longer Klotz speaker cable (original cable) . Then buy a Yamaha studio amp with internal subwoofer xover e.g model p3500s (~500$ used). Connect the woofer directly to the amp then you have a stable active bass. Then buy a handy...

    The American Sound Turntable- Beyond's Minimalist!

    The problem with air bearings is that if you make the emergency running surfaces too large, a dead air volume is created there. There is no air pressure there. This can cause the record platter to tip over and lose its centering. To make matters worse, incorrect belt tension on a heavy platter...
