Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

A new tool for acoustical field of my room:


The " Bell of bells"...

I just create it ...

I use a brass little bell that I attach and hang to a rope in the center of my room...

Around this bell I glued 16 little bells (Alaskan brass cones3/8 inch) with half of them with an Herkimer micro diamond glued in them...It is very important to balance half the cones with diamond (half of them)…This balancing compensate the bass frequencies and high frequencies with one another...The result is a better tone accuracy....


This device makes my ears spirals( by some internal Fourier analysis by the brain) able to decode from the feedback waves and reconstruct more easily, in spite of the room intricacies, an optimal tone and imaging ....I am not a scientist tough, I just want to transmit my impressions and communicate my own understanding....


The results (for 10 bucks) are ASTOUNDING....


More accuracy for tone and better imaging...


All my solutions cost nothing or are chap and very effective....This one takes the cake....

My goal is top Hi-Fi for the poor....Trust me it is possible.... If you are newcomers, try, experiment, and step by step, create your own heaven with the only master there is: your ears....No money needed....No upgrade advice here.... Start with what you already owned if this is good basic gear....

An amplifier that was top of the world gear in 1978 is even today a good amplifier, mine is.... Same thing for the speakers.... My only contemporary electronic component is a dac…. A very good one (Starting Point Systems Nos tda 1543) I will never upgrade it because of his minimalistic design and cost....


Remember that I can hear very subtle changes in my audio room because all my embeddings (mechanical, electrical and acoustical) are already very controlled...Go with yours step by steps....


I will post a photo in the next days in my "virtual system" section....

My best to you....

UPDATE :

"Bell of bells" and new nano brass cones...

I add twelve 7mm 9/32 inch cones(instead of the 3/8 inch one)
On my computer screen between the speakers...
And another set of 12 around the upper circumference part of the "Bell of bells" where there is already in the downward part of the circumference the bigger Alaskan cones...

These micro bells are so little that I cannot put in some of them my nano Herkimer diamonds... :) But it is not necessary with them like with the Alaskan bigger one...I must confess here that this experiment with this smaller cones bells is an accident.... I dont order them in the first place.... :) It is an happy mishap... But ttey complement perfectly well the regular plain Alaskan cones or the one with the H.D. inside them...


Results:

The difference in size plays all along the frequencies, more definite and accurate frequencies , especially in the higher frequencies, cleaner, more refined, and also with the bass....

The imaging is better....The piano tone accuracy cannot lie.... :)

I am flabbergasted another time, I think I could not add to the last days results, I was dead wrong...

Most of us DONT know at all what our Audio system is able to do in the right acoustical space...

Reading all these posts about audio on all threads only confirm my experience:

Most people dont know first hand that the embeddings of any Audio System is the ONLY key to Hi Fi....Not a more costly dac or amplifier, or even better speakers most of the times...The cost in relation to the improving S.Q. decrease swiftly... Simple cheap homemade solutions on the other hand has a ratio cost/ S.Q. over the roof....

Mostly the acoustical embeddings controls count for around 60 % of the S.Q.
15 % for mechanical resonance controls, and 25 % for electrical grid controls...It is an approximation of my actual increasing experience...

The reason is simple: the acoustical field of the room is TOTALLY integrated to our hearing brain, they are ONE and the same sensible system, amplifying the other 2 embeddings field modifications if you try them or any upgrade of electronic components (most of the times unnecessary)… :)

I just ordered 80 little Herkimer diamonds, smaller than the one I already own, to balance my new micro cones... :) ( around 10 bucks)

All is perfect like it is now but something say in me that I will increase the S.Q. with some of the new cones if I add in them H.D. of the require size... Less than 0.1 gram each....


Balancing the effects is one of the KEY to tone accuracy....And I must try because of the improving results when I added some H.D. inside some of the Alaskan regular cones.... Some of these empty little cones screams to me.... :)

Update:

The key is to balance empty cones with the one with Herkimer diamond....And using two different size of cones … 

The ears decide.... And with a little experiment it is easy to touch the optimal balancing locations between those.... Between my speakers, all around the computer screen is a magical spot...All along the drivers of my 2-way Mission is a magical spot....And With "the Bell of bells" and his 2 layered cones of 2 different size, in the center of my room, the sound has never been so good in all listening positions, nearfield or regular... :)

Piano for tonal accuracy listening, or vibraphone+ piano....Orchestra is good for imaging accuracy.....Tabla for dynamics....


The truth of the experiment is that 2 micro H.D. in a micro cones of 7 mm or 9332 inch can completely change the S.Q. in a room.... Why?

The only explanation for me is that our ears and the room are one, and the cones are like " steady tags" on a wave flows feedback swirling around the room through which the " Brain Fourier analysis computer" read more easily.... This is only metaphor not science ,I use that metaphor to convey my guiding idea behind my experiments...The grid of cones stabilize for the brain the recognizing process of competing sounds waves between the obstructing distorsion created by the topology of the room accidents...

I now has proven to myself many times that at low cost I can transform completely the sound in my room.... I made it many times and at each times in a positive increasing way...

Why the 4 micro Herkimer diamonds I just added to 4 cones , 2 hours ago, suffice to completely increase tonal accuracy and imaging is so astounding, that I dont really have explanations.... The grid of cones plays like tags on flowing waves yes, but why, for example ,these last four 7 millimeter pieces of rocks (H.D.) inside 4 cones moves so much the S.Q. in an increasing way is beyond me.... :)


My grid of cones, 2 size of cones, is composed now of 70 pieces around speakers and walls....Less than half with Herkimer diamonds for balancing effects...Total cost including H.D. is around 45 bucks...
