Ron’s New System
- Thread starter Ron Resnick
- Start date
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.

don't want to distract Ron's thread vibe right now. but i have zero orphan wires.
the dual coiled cables are the cables from the passive main speaker towers to the upper and lower bass amps on my bass towers.
the thin wire on the right is a grounding wire from my Tripoint Troy Sig to my passive speaker terminal plate. the thicker wire on the left is a grounding from my Entreq Poseidon/Silver Minimus also to the passive speaker terminal plate, and then thicker wire off to the left is another ground wire from the Entreq to the active bass amp mounting plate on my bass tower amps. the two parallel very thick wires are my suspended speaker cables. these grounding things were worked out 6-7 years ago or so. every couple years i remove it all and re-install it to verify it's helping. tweaks cannot be assumed as your system evolves they can hold things back.
at the top of the picture are the two Absolute Fidelity power cords for the bass tower amps, and an idle set of EA Triple Run 20 amp power cords (for the 468's) as i'm auditioning a new version of the EA power cords.
so i guess there are a couple of orphan power cables after all.
if you have further questions about this, out of respect for Ron, maybe find a thread about grounding or Tripoint and ask me there. happy to get into the weeds with it.

Finally opened them up recently, had not even checked the fuses. After switching power supplies and tubes, my conclusion is :One channel plays great and i can't fix them myself !
One day in the future i will load them in my car with all the other equipment that needs fixing and drive 9 hours to Stockholm where my repair guy lives. Not this week though ! Ron before I knew you had the PendragonI found this speaker for you at CAF 2022. I don't know if it is sonically similar, but it looks a little like yours. I never said anythin gbecause you revealed the Pendrfagon.
Taste his wife has shown thus far leads me to believe she would be an excellent consultant were special lighting called for. Lola might also be tapped to formalize concepts suited for installation within the BH listening room containing Ron's elaborate audio system.
"Artifice of Vacuum Tube" will probably suffice long after any others have weighed in.

A tad different in concept...Arion Audio 105db sensitive open baffle line arrays. Pretty cool speakers. They had one of the very large, difficult to handle rooms at CAF....did a good job considering.
Yeah I had a chat with the designer. I think they were still fleshing things out.
I found low level saffron lighting to be very relaxing. Tending toward orange, but not quite, like salt lamp hue. A couple of salt lamps with remote dimmers would work.
I used saffron LED when I changed the VU lights on my Yamaha B2 and liked that style of lighting compared to the others.

Yes, very nice fellow with a good concept. Still sorting through how to approach it as a business. Small makers have to have nerves of steel and magic pockets.
Pretty sure that neutrino is a misprint, but if it's not, I now understand why Cthulhu was hiding in plain sight as a light fixture in your basement!

Looks great Ron! I am happy you are nearing the end of your journey. Keep the updates coming.

No; neutrino is correct. The machine generates tau neutrinos, to be specific.
That's what the manufacturer told me. He said he's an experienced audiophile.
Ditto on the lack of floor bounce concern. The arrays are quite immune to reflections above and below their lowest driver in the array. My experience with line arrays adds the very real benefit of incredible low distortion given how little each driver in the array works for a given output, not to mention the lack of dynamic compression this approach affords. In this regard, LAs can rival some but not all horn systems. Given your sonic priorities Ron I imagine you truly have arrived at your end game! I would love to hear your Pendragons with the SE Magic of the big Trafomatic monoblocks someday
