thanks again.😁 It was a fun demo to compare live and recorded sound, within the reasonable expectation of cumulative room resonance.

many thanks! It is indeed my concept, and started off with what I had lying around and evolved into using an Ikea table leg and 3D printed driver holders. Same with the active system and months of tuning.

@bcbocraft thanks, promotion all the time haha!!!

Many thanks! No major problems with static. All the arms, except for the first wood arm, drain via signal ground to preamp. The carbon tubes are conductive and with a small wire trapped by a grub screw, much of the nastiness gets flushed. On the fully printed arms, a small aluminum tube resides within the arm. Great question btw. Cheers.

@AngryManSki try it with chapters, can at least hope version to version or even better, download the raw files and use even the most basic daw to do immediate a/b comparisons. The files are at 24/192 so you get the added bonus of no compression. Reckon one of those should work.

I opened up two browsers. Started both near the same and just muted back and forth. I didn't hear any difference, but KZbin compresses audio. I think reviewer own words are more accurate than the music.

@Later2u did you download the raw uncompressed files? That will most revealing on your system.

@@jazzboy I just downloaded the Steely Dan ones. I listen to them on my computer using headphones. I didn't hear any discernable difference. Not discounting that what you've provided isn't true. Believe me, I want it to be true because I'm looking to upgrade mine and it's deep rabbit hole with these things. What I'm going to do, cheaply, is I've bought these "similar" OP AMPs and I will try them out with my ears and system and see if there is a notable difference in doing that. And that is the problems with these, I think the individual needs to try it for themselves. But that cost money, not a huge amount but who wants to reinvent the wheel, which is why we are here on the internet. The one's I'm going to try are AKLIAM 1 Piece LC5 LC6 Low Noise Low Distortion Class A Discrete Op Amp Upgrade. If you copy and paste that in a search browser, there is also a KZbin video giving a run down on them below the link to where you can purchase them. Thanks for the Video.

@@gertjanvanderkooij9242 many thanks! I agree, I truly found the result to be smoother and very solid in the low frequencies.

Currently my setup is fully active. The Sparkos Op Amps were the final smoothing touch.

Thanks Rick! Always enjoy sharing audio ideas. Should have more projects in the new year.😁

Many thanks! The shelves contain my collection of vintage radio control transmitters. A few classics in there.😁

You know it.

Danke, danke!!! Have head, will talk hahahahahaha!!!😂

Greetings and thanks. I have been using the Motu M4 on Windows 10 and also now 11 with no issues. All my recent speaker test videos are with the M4. On the other hand, the drivers for my UAD Arrow are so bad that I gave up and now using it on my Hackintosh. Tech support from UAD for PC is atrocious. Should have another vid out soon. Got sidetracked with some music projects. 😊

@@RickBonanno many thanks, much appreciated!😁

The humorous part is I really enjoy extremely detailed, scientific reviews. I do not enjoy rude, pompous pseudo scientists that actually don't know sh#t from dates, blurting out rude comments right out of the gate.

Yeah that’s the anonymity of the internet.

@YannisFyssas many thanks, my musical friend!!!

@colquhounfamilyvideos6411 thanks Bev, super appreciated!!!

Mille Grazie Bella!!!❤

Many thanks, my moto buddy!!!❤

Many thanks, much appreciated!😊

Not yet. If there is interest, I might make the 3d parts available. The rest is easy to purchase. You can reach me through my website in my profile. Thank you for checking.

@abxaudiophiles 120 is common for case fans. Best to measure. These fans are part of my silent server update. The watercooler aio was decent, but this system is pretty much silent when setup properly in the bios. Will be doing a vid on the update in the next few days. These are the bits. amzn.to/4fFJwYf amzn.to/4fufnuY And you might need this if you don't have an rgb header on the motherboard amzn.to/4hDDl8C

@abxaudiophiles indeed my friend, indeed. Your Discord channel is very entertaining and thanks for the invite!😁

@Pierre-Leloup very well said. I naively thought I might find kindred spirits. Instead, I found vengeful sprites, hahahaha.

@junkyoutube9060 ultimately something has to sound good. I do appreciate the thorough measurements. I have specced MOTU interfaces for years on shows I have designed, but his measurements of the MOTU M4 were actually helpful. Just found the vibe on the discussion groups stunningly pretentious.

@hiviman thanks, appreciated. The speakers are something I put together, an active zero baffle design. The difference live actually was very similar to the recording and very pleasant indeed! Super happy with the Sparkos op amps. I have also a link in the description for the 24/192 files if you want to check them out.

Absolutely. Have used Tannoys in the past and I really like them. Probably a V3 stereo withe 48v 5a supply would be grand and less space. A couple monos would be killer but not totally necessary.

How about the za3 like the xlr feature

​@robertmilo7445 great choice if you are running balanced.

One V3 stereo for the highs and two monos for the lows. 48v 5a power supply for the highs and two 48v 10a power supplies for the lows

@@jazzboy I bet that system got some nice Kick in the Bass. What speaker are you useing Jazzboy

@jazzboy This is a must if you like more revealing depth and focus, try switching the power supply from a 5amp to a 10am. In your case get the 10amp onto the highs, the v3 should behave and the monos won't car either. Worth a shot.

@@sqcaraudio will be trying some combos for sure.

@@Oiljeep Celestion 12" Seventy80 guitar speaker and a Kicker DSC40 4" car speaker.

Sparkos for me.

@@jazzboy what model sparkos?

@@chrisharford2610 SS3602

@@jazzboy thank you

@huonggiangtran9007 the blue plinth is hollow pla with an epoxy fill as is the platter. The grey one is pla platter and a concrete plinth. Thanks for the inquiry.

@sqcaraudio very kööl application! The 48v 10a power supplies really push larger drivers very well. Running active is my preference as well, more flexibility and fewer components in the signal path.

In the proper application these wee beasts are truly game changers! Considering the whole case is a heat sink, they are not really running that hot, we can just feel the heat as opposed to it be being contained in a larger case.

@@jazzboy Thats correct My Older Sony was hot enough to the touch after a good rock out session of 1 hour you didn't want to hold your hand on it. still running good after 29 years Old. Fosi mono only hit 109 on the hardest pull for 4 hours. I had Cpu alot hotter for alot longer . I eat sandwich's hotter than 109 LOL.

Thanks for your continued support, it is much appreciated.🙂 Trying to put a bit things in context as folks need to know where my opinions are coming from.

Mille Grazie!😊

@@TheEnzedone thanks, that one is still being refined.

Thank you for the input. The CD is indeed quite different than the other two tracks. The uncompressed 24/192 files are in the link if you wish to check them out. I was surprised at the differences as well being played on the same system.

That's the cool thing about the selection of music we have today, we can actually hone in on the version that suits our taste best. Thanks.😊

@stewnelless2416 ran a cd through it, only one channel but good.

Also, nice armada :) Room sounds great

Thanks. There are chapters in the description for the music.

@bcbocraft trying to become a master clickbaiter...

Your support is very much appreciated. The CD raw file will be uploaded a bit later today.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, a build vid will come soon. The dual beams were to mimic the first design I built out of wood and aluminum and also to have separate runs runs from the cart. Interestingly, I am planning to design a single beam as well. Just too much on the plate at the moment.😁Cheers.

@ronkramer5459 will do. It's monofilament fed through the basket and tightened around the pole. You can see it on my printables page. www.printables.com/model/860085-pole-katz-naked-open-baffle-speaker-system

The doubling of the room sound definitely changes things up.

Super appreciated!!! The doubled room sound and normalization do change the playback, but hopefully, the live feel remains. BTW the Fosi Monoblocks should be arriving later today!!! Stoked.
