The closest to a closed box panel speaker for bass frequencies are DML’s, which I think Martin Logan did one. Again one advantage of today’s listening and measuring, is that the wave guide, gives around 6db more output forward than rearward, so the cardioid effects is beneficial compared to OB. Bein...

After a few hectic hours of swapping out different midrange arrangements, Dave and I came to a consensus. The downside is I don’t think I will be able to ever play “crime of the century” A side after listening to it about a dozen times. :D For both types of driver, planar and air mass transformers A...

Will have to look at the free 3D version, to see if it can do complex surfaces, ie horn profiles. Then maybe I don’t need to continue to work just to get access to the NX software, which is £40k a seat for the individual. Oh I forgot the slight challenge of money

You are a significant way with 1700 USD to a cnc router, which adds another sphere of things you can do which this cannot. Most of the finger joints and other joints can be done on a table saw with a simple jig.

If you think that’s bad I’m in North Yorkshire the week after

Realised I have a day off on Tuesday 30th of May, Dave “Golden Ears” is coming around for some critical listening. You are all welcome to join us.

There is a battery company near me, who renew the batteries replacing the cells. The cells will be one of two formats, so can easily be replaced by anyone with a soldering iron. The Sanyo cells are the ones I have used in the past.

Thanks Steve, our calendar is pretty full, currently in North Devon on holiday, so will have to check my calendar when I get back.

What about a goldring g2300 cartridge? I have one in the cupboard not being used. Cannot remember how many hrs it’s got on it, but it sounded fine last time I used it. It’s gyger 2 stylus profile.

Definitely the wrong show…. His ones up near Barnsley end of October, so in ferret country.

Ah yes, most of you don’t know

I am near Nottingham about 10 mins off M1 junction 27 if coming from the north.

The year is marching on, and I haven’t decided what to take to the WAM show in October. The challenge has been that Covid has affected my hearing, hopefully temporarily. So I am unable to currently decide whether the ES250 horn with the planars sound better than my existing midrange AMT horns, that ...

It will have made a dent in the profits of the electricity company…. They will never recoup those costs from your bills

Another’s interesting guitarist is Miguel Montalban. A few years ago you could see him busking on Tottenham Court Road. Seen him at a blues festival, is own stuff is more abstract, than his long list of covers.

Aren’t most of these streamed back catalogues redbook format anyway. So along with the slab of vinyl is the silver disc there too. I never liked the idea of a virtual musical collection, as there are many stories of them not being transferable. So having my digital music on a server and the CD’s sta...
