| Acoustat x value I owned a set of X’s during the early ’80s - Problem with first-gen Acoustats like these is how the conductive coating on the panels can disintegrate over time - I discovered such delamination issues within ten years of use; this isn’t something o... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Jrhodus emailed me photos of his new 3000's today - Very nice looking in the Sapele veneer - Thanks, James! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Jrhodus, I just ordered a new pair of 3000 Talls, and the Sapele veneer is high on my list (still awaiting a few veneer samples to arrive in the mail)... Would you be willing to post a photo of your 3000s? This would be of great help - Thanks - Gary | |
| Review: Emotiva XDA-1 DA converter According to a technical consultant at Emotiva, who I'd chatted with prior to my own purchase of the XDA-1, this unit was designed to run at its full 2v output (or "80" on the volume display) for absolute best sound quality. Apparently a setting d... | |
| DIY Anti-IC project "Gary -These might be magical.Have to switch back to the Opera Billie ICs to confirm (though I have a good ear, my aural "memory" is short-lived), but this is my thought from within about the first 30 minutes of listening tonight.I'd been listenin... | |
| DIY Anti-IC project Lewinskih01, those are some really wild lookin' cables! And you've just jogged my memory that about 20 years ago I made speaker cables from old 1/2"-thick 50-wire round SCSI cable - The separately-insulated wires were silver-coated copper, and I s... | |
| DIY Anti-IC project Don't have any idea where this same wire can be sourced today; I obtained my spool of the stuff back in '78, the year it was manufactured. There's a mystique surrounding the very pure copper that was made by Bel Tel all those years ago, and the ve... | |
| DIY Anti-IC project Update: My home-brew "Anti-IC Plus" interconnects are out; the new "Avatar Blu" interconnects are in. In fact, these cables also replaced my Speltz-made standard-issue Anti-ICs (which are for sale if anyone's interested).The Avatar interconnects a... | |
| Own Magnepans? Got Cats? I may have gone to the trouble for naught - These totally non-destructive cats have turned out to be neither climbers or scratchers - They're kinda like puppy dogs that follow us from one room to the next so they can sit and watch. They do seem to... | |
| Mini-Review of the Beresford TC-7520 DAC I've found the LM4562NA offers a very nice improvement over the stock 5532 - This DAC is now being used in my "System #2" as seen in the virtual system posts. | |
| DIY Anti-IC project Pic of these can be seen in my "System #1" virtual system post. | |
| Inexpensive and very effective Magnepan tweak Pic of this can be seen in my "System #1" virtual system post. | |

| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise 1.6QR's biwired with Speltz Anti-Cable with no doubt results in the effect of a pair of subs in the mix - Of course you must have these at least 48" from the rear wall - and also dependent upon associated amp, preamp, CD player, etc ;-) | |
| Mini-Review of the Beresford TC-7520 DAC One more update: After 100+ hundred hours of play, this unit just keeps getting better and better - Just for fun a friend recently brought his DAC-1 over, and it turned out we both preferred the overall presentation of the TC-7520 (which is being ... |
