    Well to start with I use RCA to XLR adapters, then there is an unlimited amount of things that you can use the Xilica for. Such as adjustments you can make changes on the fly and until you have had enough it just to simple... Xovers points and slopes, filters both input and outputs about 30 presets with all your filters and gains etc etc stored, to be changed with the push of button from either the face of the Xilica or your laptop....

    Tractrix horn for Klipschorn

    My OP was solely about Dave H’s tractrix mf horn. A comment was made about the tweeter being off center, which I also dislike, so now I AM talking about both Dave H’s mf and Dave A’s hf horns since I have both Dave A’s horn with B&C DE120 driver and K-77’s and one or the other may be a natural.   
     

    I’ll look at Greg’s horn driver combo also.

    If you don't like the tweeter being off center do what I did, I got a pair of Fostex 90a's and centered them on top of my khorns.

    WTB Darling or Decware SE84UFO Amp

    jcmusic- can you say where you found the SE84UFO? I'm looking for one as well to go with my 396's but they're far and few between finding them used and the wait from Decware right now is around 7 months.

    Hey Tomy2,

    I seen a couple on US Audio Mart a few weeks ago. I got mine from the original owner it was a 2014 model called the CKC model, I sent it in for certification and a lifetime warranty, and while it was there I had Steve upgrade it to the UFO model... It cost a few dollars more but it beats waiting 7 months...

    A little Hum

    Jay,

     

    Most likely it's the connections to either the amplifier, crossover, or preamp, in that order, then inside the electronics boxes themselves.  Check all connections--wiggle them when it happens.  Thermal cycles (off-on-off, etc.) loosen the connections, as well as corrosion of RCA and XLR connectors, etc. in high humidity environments (like that found in most of Louisiana and adjoining states, for instance).

     

    Make sure the routing of external wires are away from any power cords or other new equipment, including TVs, etc.

    Hey Chris,

    Thanks for the reply I am gonna check all the connections as you said, hopefully it is nothing..

    A little Hum

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    Ok guys I need some help on this one, my system is tri amped so each set of drivers has their own amp. The other day I noticed a little hum coming from the left woofer only, I thought it might be the amp so I switch the speaker wire from the A side to the B side bingo no more hum. However that was short lived ten minutes later the woofers on both sides went off, so I swapped out that amp for another and back in business no more hum.

    Now two days later while warming up I hear that hum again in the left woofer only, after about 20 minutes it is gone. So is that woofer going south? It is the original 15" woofer in my khorns from 1977.

    Decware SE84C Zen Triode?

    in Talkin' Tubes

    Posted

    Well I have wanted to try a Decware 2 watt amp for a long time, finally I got one a few weeks ago and I am very impressed with it. First it sounds as good as my Korneff 45 which I thought was the best amp I have heard up to this point. The Zen amp has about 50 hours on it with stock tubes, after some level adjustments to my tri amped system this amp fell right into place.

    My system is sounding really smooth right now and I can't wait to listen to it more....

    So after a modest search I ended up with the Decware SE84UFO amp, I have about 50 hours on it now with the stock tubes and it sounds pretty darn good...

    I am impressed for sure with this little amp as it sounds as good as my Korneff 45, and i think it can only get better. After making some adjustments to the levels in my tri amped system the sound is much improved and very very smooth!!! I am looking forward to listening more and more....

    Sony TC765

    Analog freak? Finest analog sound you can get is a Sony TC765 with a DBX noise reduction system, IMHO. Had one for ten years. See it in Garage Sale.

    It is a nice sounding deck but, far from the finest sound you can get. There many out there that easily best it in sound quality even without the DBX unit...
