Sploo, Al's point was that the transformer stage was helping the sound by rejecting garbage 😉 Not being a noisy transformer stage...

Yea. Same intention, different verbal approach - Al's note was that a good one's good, I was agreeing that a bad one's bad 😉

ooo, I've just a great idea for a project for the next meet. 😀 This is a pretty pointless post since I want to keep it a secret for a while til some ground work has been done. But hey, just letting you guys know that I'm a man with a plan for the next time!

Time to break out the thumbscrews methinks 😀:devilr:

Hey Jan

Its actually Ant rather than Andy. If you call me by my name then I'll consider your debt to me repaid. 😀

Jan and Hugo have the only Aleph X based in-car-entertainment setup in the world. Man it sounded good. 😉

No need to say I'm flattered with the AlephX comments.
Of course I only build what others carefully lined out for all of us, and a big 'Thank You' should again go to Grey, Nelson and the many, many other members in the various Aleph threads. 🙂

I wish I had been able to get to England to give my talk on this; it's a very common mistake and usually made by pretty smart people. Ah, well, one more reason you'll have to figure out a way to get down here for next year's Burning Amp meeting.

Did you complete the PP presentation? If so could you email it to me. Shame you couldn't be here to deliver it but I'd like to peruse it just the same.

Orchestral on Full Range speakers

philpoole said:

Hearing fullrange speakers for the first time. RAndyB and Chris' speakers (and amp) especially. I think I preferred them to all, but maybe because I could imagine them working well at home.
I'm totally unfamiliar with orchestral music, what were you playing on it?

Phil,
the two CDs I brought were:

Tallis - Spem in allium ( the difficult choral track)
Elgar - Enigma Variations ( rythmically complex with huge organ pedal notes toward the end)

Can't remember whether Chris put something orchestral on also during Saturday.

Counter-intuitively, a well implemented full range is very satisfying on orchestral and choral, especially on-location recordings, even though you expect them to sound feeble from the sensitivity ratings. A really good amp. is essential, of course. javascript:smilie('😉')
wink

Hope this helps.

Andy
