German to English translation
My love for vinyl records and music came rather early. My father was a professional soldier in the U.S. Army and I started already in early youth to take part of my pocket in the PX (supermarket for U.S. military personnel overseas in the military base) and then in a record "implement". Later, I received a birthday once a record - Subscription for a classic series in which all the European classical composers were presented with photographs of famous European symphony orchestras. My own preference was more in the Rhythm & Blues area. Later, Rock 'n Roll to Rock. Meanwhile, I've started an LP collection with over 2500 LP's - of plates from the early 30s to the late '80s and mid-90s.
Already as a teenager I had for my two tape recorders and even built my two turntables and mixers busy myself with electronic effects devices, because a friend was guitar player of mine and I built for him and sonic effects devices such as wah-Hall.
Later I had - after I moved to Germany - I bought up by and by an "acceptable" investment. He was power amplifier from Denon, which was pre-amplifier from Marantz, the speakers were of Sansui, of a record player was a Thorens TD126 (the classic) with an Ortofon moving coil system and an Elac turntable with magnetic needle system for old records and shellac. For a long time, I was relatively happy with this configuration, because I was clear about the fact that I called "high-end systems can not afford.
However, I had to take note of that in my circle of two real "freaks" were with plants of my system was superior. One friend swears has a facility with all components of Sansui and Magnavox Refenzboxen and other acquaintances to all electronic components from Denon and Infinity speakers and electrostatic.
I am a man who regards things occasionally slow, but then - will remain for years - "on the ball." From my 30th Geburttag as I began with the subject of HiFi and the related topics of intense concern to me in my spare time and progressively in the years to acquire such expertise.
Some 10 years later I began to implement the learned and built by and by "high-end" - components in self-made. The presented instructions on the following pages is one of the results of my ongoing for over 15 years dealing with this issue and this result does not need to fear a comparison with some other high-end speaker system. On the contrary - so far these speakers have won all the comparison - and not just in my opinion but the opinion that an owner who had spent their speaker a real asset. Any comparison ended at the end saying that they wanted me to buy my speaker ......
A final note on the instructions: I take the view that it is not sufficient to recreate a construction manual only stubborn. It is important to understand why you do things and what the consequences are if we depart from an instruction or it is modified. I consider it absolutely makes sense to read all the texts on the subject. It might for example difficult to be exactly the same speaker to buy today. If not followed the instructions here by necessity, we can only ensure the same high level, if you understand where, why and what criteria govern the selection of a particular speaker was, if you look for a suitable alternative.
