DakiOm
Speakers: The
best sounding, most musical speakers you can own!
Infused with DakiOm's real, no-nonsense technology.
We at DAKIOM proudly
introduce our revolutionary TECHNOLOGY for improving music
reproduction: US
Patents 7,828,113, 6,407,633 and 6,333,674.
Our theories on
electronic music reproduction can be summarized as follows:
1 - All regular
electronic components are competent in reproducing musical signals
with inaudible distortions.
2 - All regular
electro-mechanical transducers are competent in reproducing
musical signals with acceptable distortions.
3 - The biggest spoilers
of music are mechanical resonances of speaker enclosures, of
component enclosures, of long wiring, of transformers, large
capacitors and other parts.
4 - The second biggest
spoilers of music are circuit operating conditions that are near
positive feedback (PFB). PFB allows the (normally near unity)
amplification of tiny electronic noises into oscillations of
significant levels.
5 – Maybe there are
other unknown spoilers but removing #3 and #4 result in sound
quality better than anything else on the market.
Therefore our approach
is simple. We don’t insult your intelligence and waste your time by TECHNO
BABBLING about quantum, skin-effects, exotic, silver, carbon, time
coherent, phase accurate, transmission lines, balanced inputs,
pure power, fast electrons, tin foils, tube, vinyl, bi-wired,
Maxwell equations, black body radiation, and other STUPID babbling
that can only fool the GULLIBLE. You also don't pay for cosmetics,
ineffective exotic materials, brand names, or expensive
marketing.
Our
approach to
delivering the best sound quality is simple:
1. Find the best way to
damp out enclosure resonances (US Patent 7,828,113), and
2. Find the best way to
reduce feedback instabilities (US Patents 6,407,633; 6,333,674)
3. Then listen, under
bias-controlled set-ups (Double Blind Testing procedures), to the
resulting tiny improvement in musicality. Here, our DakiOm
comparative listening test is crucial.
4. Then adding more
damping of resonances and damping of instabilities until the
accumulated improvements become a valuable product
5. As time goes on,
continue to research if further improvements can be obtained from enclosure damping and feedback
stabilization.
We DON’T pay attention
to costly COSMETICS either. Charging you a lot of money for
cosmetics instead of technology goes against our nature and makes
the point that the current audiophile world is too often
interested in using expensive cosmetics to sell the perception of
good technology. But think about it, does a big aluminum chassis
encased in precious metals, or a block of granite (though nice
looking) really worth the cost in sound quality? Why are looks so
often used to attempt to express sound quality? If the technology
in a given high end audio products is superior, isn't a plain
black faceplate good enough? Audio quality is often sold through a
cosmetic guise because the sound quality is not well
differentiated from that of consumer electronics.
All
we want is great music, non-fatiguing
music, emotional music, music that is enjoyable long-long term.
WE DON'T care about golden
veneers and glittering façades.
YOU can add these to our products, later, if you want, but we
won’t sell you cosmetics because this is distracting to our
message.
Our web site is also
practical, accurate, clear, and full of TRUTH, scientific truth,
truth with evidence that is verifiable with precise
instructions. NO mumbo jumbo, NO pretty pictures, NO golden
veneers, NO superficial glitters that are needed to hide the
emptiness of snake oil products and to lure the gullible into
buying garbage as goodies.
OUR
PRODUCTS ARE FOR MUSIC LOVERS, NOT
for people who fall for delusional glitters and who listen to
music with eyes, not ears; NOT for people who rely on marketing
hype and lies to bring out their delusional golden-ears.
As you noticed, we
didn’t babble about sound stage, chocolaty mid-range, tight
bass, extended highs, neutral, transparent, live, and other mumbo
jumbo. We talked about great music, non-fatiguing, emotional, long
term enjoyable music.
Our products are based
on:
Patent
7,828,113
(For reducing unwanted
resonances of speaker enclosures)
Enclosure resonances add
extraneous sounds to reproduced music, therefore messing up
musical harmony, rhythm and timbre. Particularly, the timing (or
overlap) between the trailing and the rising of musical notes is
seriously interfered with by enclosure resonances.
The
resonances add to (wrong details at wrong timing) or
subtract from music (missing beats, missing decays and missing
attacks). They render musical flow incoherent, empty,
confusing and out-of-tune.
The
long term effects of resonances
on listeners are feelings of fatigue, irritation and boredom.
Conventional
wisdom is wrong: Resonance cannot be cured with stronger bracing,
super hard materials, or massive weight. Don't be fooled into
thinking a super stiff 200 pound speaker does not resonate a lot.
The weight and stiffness only shift the resonant frequencies
around to other bad places.

(For reducing feedback
instabilities)
All amplifying circuits
need negative feedback (NFB) to insure signal fidelity. Without
NFB, output signals will be distorted as compared to inputs.
Especially when driving reactive loads. There are people selling
zero-feedback mumbo jumbo, but forget them, they try to fool
consumers. Zero feedback cannot drive reactive loads.
The drawback of NFB
exists because of the amplification of noises at very high
frequencies, more than 10 time audio frequencies. Electronic
noises permeate components all the time but they are harmless low
level inputs and low level unity gain amplified signals. Even some
noises can be amplified to audible levels, if these noises are
uncorrelated to music, they will not spoil music. Only noises
modulated and correlated somehow to music are annoying. The brain
is capable of filtering out random noises, but will be fatigued by
musically shadowy noises.
Feedback
instabilities
As noise frequency vary
and as circuit parameters change because of induced voltages and
currents, it will come to a point where the phase lag between
input and output become closer to180 degrees. Now, NFB becomes
closer to Positive Feedback (PFB), resulting in more or less large
and sudden bursts of high frequency noise oscillations, spoilers
of music. The spoiling of music become more annoying as the
oscillatory bursts correlate closely to the variation of current
and voltage (and mechanical vibrations) induced by the musical
signals.
The
long term effects of instabilities
on listeners are incoherent, empty, confusing and out-of-tune
musical flow, similar to the effects of enclosure
resonances.
Conventional wisdom
is wrong: Feedback instability cannot be tamed by mosfets,
vacuum tubes, servos, cables, fancy compensation networks, or
exotic components.
Introducing
our NEW product
The
“DakiOm Modified Sony Speaker pair”.
You may ask “Why are
you modifying a cheapo pair of speakers instead of producing a brand
new speaker pair like I see in magazines?”
The answer is simple.
Since we use a
commercial "cheapo" speaker pair, you will be free from marketing
hypes and cosmetic over charging.
We want you to listen to
our technology free of marketing lies and hypes. Our technology
works, not in exotic materials, not in bench measurements, not in
techno-babbling but truly in the ears of the beholder. It sounds
great because we have real technology. This speaker proves that
the main cause of bad sound quality is enclosure resonance and
feedback instability, period. There can be no other explanation
since we use truly conventional regular parts. In fact a simple
set of Sony speakers like a basic "cheapo" mass-market amplifier has more than
enough potential to sound amazing and beat the most expensive
audiophile components. A basic speaker and amplifier only need the
right technology, DakiOm technology, added to them to beat the best
out there. Paying for any more exotic parts will not help as much
as you have been led to think.
We want you to compare
the musicality of the sound, by your ears only, not by your eyes,
not by reading marketing mumbo jumbo about the delusional quality of
unobtainable materials and un-provable pseudo-technology.
Yes, we may suffer your
negative first impressions about using such "cheapo" enclosure materials and
cone drivers but these will dissipate in no time. Our
speakers are expensive only because of their audible performance
and the real effort involved to achieve that, not
because of marketing gimmicks. Our speakers reflect years of
perfecting the technology to reduce enclosure resonance and feedback
instability. They are actually built, tuned, and crafted with the
same attention given to a musical instrument.
Introducing
our speaker pair:
There are NO marketing
lies such as: time aligned, phase coherent, transmission lines,
ceramic, silver, carbon, precious exotic materials, mumbo jumbo
drivers, more techno-babbling, quantum, black body, etc.
There are ONLY cheapo
parts (plenty good for the most demanding listener) and tons of
our technology applied to the important places:
1. A cheapo speaker
pair, the Sony SS-B3000 (solid, very functional, and plenty good
for absolutely amazing sound quality)
2. Two (2) new top
quality 3rd generation feedback
stabilizers, our special black boxes having 6 ordinary wires sticking
out (that reduce feedback instabilities from the amplifier),
3. Fifty six (56) square
wooden dowels, 18” long
4. Fifty six (56) square
wooden dowels, 9” long
5. Eight (8) rectangular
wooden dowels, 4” long, and
6. Sixty four (64) wood
screws.
All dowels and screws
are mounted hidden
inside the two enclosures of the Sony SS-B3000. All of which are
painstakingly installed throughout the inside of the speaker to
tune it perfectly like a musical instrument.
Of
course, lots of labor, engineering precision, and care.
This is where your hard earned money deserves to be spent in
pursuit of musical enjoyment.
The resulting value of
the magic of our technology is unmatched by any other products.
Our reproduced music beats music reproduced by any other expensive
systems.
We do the hard Double
Blind Testing procedures. Years spent tuning every slightest
aspect of the internals of the speakers to perfect the sound. We accumulate
improvements over thousands of iterations in difficult tiny
adjustment steps
so that you can enjoy the big leap. There is no need for “golden
ears” to appreciate our DakiOm Modified Sony SS-B3000, just the
love for non-fatiguing music.
We hope that music
lovers will recognize our efforts and our integrity and support
our endeavor. Please, make a 30-day evaluation of our DakiOm Modified
Sony SS-B3000 and judge for yourself if everything you read hear
is really the truth about what real audio technology is about!
Finally, we also offer our other
contributions to the audio community as evidence of our sincerity
in finding the best technology for music enjoyment:
