Ron’s New System

[bonzo75]

It is a wide-band positive neutrino generator made by a small company in The Netherlands. The neutrinos are believed to impinge upon microstructures in the eardrums and improve the linearity of high frequency hearing response.

Wow. “I have neutrinos set up in my system by Jesus”

Nah, the white machine in the middle of the front wall was there before Jesus arrived.

 

[Ron Resnick]

That's the easy part. I wonder how this guy from the Netherlands created a portable proton accelerator. Ron's electric bill is going to require him to sell his new system if the superconductor magnets are really in there!

The designer told me that immediately after a tau neutrino linearizes subjectively perceived frequency response the neutrino decays into a quark. Ambient quarks apparently have no deleterious effect on the sound.

I think i may know how he managed it.

No loudspeaker is perfect. Each of us has to identify our sonic priorities and find a speaker which solves our personal sonic equations.

Listening yesterday for nine hours, basically straight, easily breaks my all-time music listening in one day record. So that's a good sign.

It's a little bit hard to explain, but "planar people" will understand this. It's kind of the sound conceptually that I am used to from 27 years of planar loudspeakers. I was somewhat concerned, but not terribly concerned, but it was a relief to feel this way, considering the reality is that I auditioned the Pendragons at Gryphon in Rye, Denmark, for only three hours -- and that was seven years ago.

I am tempted to say that planars maybe are more predictable sounding than other types of speakers, but I'll probably just get myself in trouble for that one.

I bet the Martin-Logan Statement E2 and the Pendragons (and Gary's Genesis Prime) sound more similar to each other than either one sounds compared to any other system.

Milan, would you like to send your Statement E2 system over here for a visit and we can compare the two systems together in the same room?

9 hours is a huge marker...half that time would have been.

Is this from Mike who used to distribute Analysis Audio planars?

His name is Mike Kallelis. He was in Jersey and is now in Charlotte. Not sure if he was the Analysis fellow or not. He's had an interesting career path aside from audio. Also into motor sports. https://www.arionaudio.com/about-us

9 hours is nothing when the sound is good…
Nothing at all… If the sound is excellent the ears never get tired, and you just want to listen to more and more music… If Ron have been listen for 9 hours - the sound must have been great

Yes same guy. He did analysis audio for many years and had started the Arion as some form of class D amps to drive them

If done consistently one will develop bed sores and essentially melt away any muscle mass...so not entirely nothing : )

Haha - you got a point there? … (but almost nothing then)

Cheers man..

Perfect 100% agree. When you get there time passes by and you are both relaxed and super excited at the same time!
This is why this has become one of my favorite threads here @ WBF, I understand the mission and the magic, to me, of planar speakers.

The neutrino rabbit hole is deep. I couldn't sleep, jumped on my laptop and looked it up, certainly didn't help me go back to sleep.
Guess I will jump a shower and head into the office a wee bit early.

I know I did.

Congrats! Look forward to the recording snippets again!

 

[Gregadd]

I am impressed Ron has enough quality recordings to justify a 9 hour listening session.

Who hasn’t ??

 

[Zeotrope]

never happened until there are pictures!

need cheap soft white "not halogen/not LED" 10-15 watt uplights behind the speakers. so when you dim/turn off the lights you get the glow. don't over-think it. low wattage keeps the ceiling shadows soft and not hard. leave them on all the time, replace every 4-5 months. you won't notice them during the day, but they will always be there when you want them there.

$15-$20 anywhere. get the bulbs at Home Depot.

Do you recall who makes this up-firing LED light? I searched but didn’t find it…
And that coil of wire can act as an inductor next to the speaker(?) cable. I would move it further away

those lights are soft white incandescent, not LED. you can find it at Home Depot i think. i bought them decades ago, so don't exactly recall.

i did ask my speaker designer about this, and he told me that the coils were ok based on the use of the active bass towers. but i respect that he might be wrong. above my level of understanding and am not in a position to dispute it. the cables have longer lengths since many times the bass towers are not so near the passive towers.

Problem for many to be sure. For a smaller number of us the rigors would be unbounding from that much invigoration. [ed. ?]


As an aside, the ox strong Mr. Ellingwood might point out that a high quality of being at rest is what makes you stronger. Everything else weakens to a greater or lesser capacity. (Missing Howie and his zeal for humor right about now)

Come on, man! Ten titles is nine hours of music!

I have 10 titles!

It is a little more difficult skipping tracks with vinyl and tape. In assume you still keep your tt in another room. I have gone back to listening to an entire album. True indication things are dialed in.
