Ron’s New System

[Hi-FiGuy]

Ron, keep the updates coming. I'm excited for you and your system!

absolutely, but he is probably out shoveling snow according to the news

Do you have any idea how many snow shovels there are in California?

lots of them, they just change the name to yard shovel...always had one growing up and beyond. People here in Ky look at me silly as I use mine year round.

Fake news! There is no snow in Beverly Hills!

We had our first official Pendragon party today! Tinka and I were joined by Dale Stanton, Don Saltzman, Jeff Duggan, Philip O'Hanlon and Russ Stratton!











The group did a wonderful and patient job experimenting with the acoustic panels and with Tube Traps, for which I am grateful!

After a nice dinner in Beverly Hills Don and Philip returned with me to the house, and Philip played some amazing tapes!

The 4' x 8' panels are back on the side walls, and Tube Traps have returned to the middle and to the corners of the front wall.

Here is the latest frequency response curve:




It seems like today's work smoothed out the prior dip at about 30Hz.

Don refused to let me theorize why, but he says that he is now hearing greater width and depth of soundstage. I think the consensus was that returning the panels to the side walls may have dampened some reflections and improved soundstaging.

Ps . It looks like quit a bit lot rolled off though , doesnt it sound a bit dull this way ?

Of course not. Tinka had other things to do.

I have already posted photos of the speakers in the room.

I like the FR curve a lot, both visually and in practice. We are still hearing a bit of midrange brightness, however. It might be that slight 2 kilohertz peak.

 

[spiritofmusic]

Ron, I think you've forgotten what a party is REALLY meant to be like. It's certainly not a bunch of guys sitting down with no pretty girls in the room.

 

[bonzo75]

Of course not. Tinka had other things to do.

maybe she left because you guys were just listening and not doing any amp/phono compares?

 

[spiritofmusic]

Ked, I think Tinka knows a party when she (doesn't) see one.

 

[spiritofmusic]

Now Lagonda's, THERE'S a party. Although I'd be fearful I wouldn't return.

Not these days Marc, i would recommend Beverly Hills over the Danish countryside any day of the week !

 

[spiritofmusic]

Hmm, you're not convincing me...

The Vikings did steal all the pretty women from England, but they have since moved to America !

 

[Gregadd]

Yeah but they still had to mate with their barbaric husbands.

 

[cjfrbw]

Tinka is waiting for the exciting cable swap comparisons.

they probably never found any....that´s why they moved on....

 

[morricab]

Well the English actually had a Danish king at one time...so it seems that they at least stayed around for the beer!
