Replacement Plasma Cord, Shielding???
I had the chance to try a very high end power cord, used for my stereo on my Plasma TV. The cord, Dream State "Epic" is not shielded, and I was using it just to burn it in.The result of a high end cord surprised me, the colors were quite noticeabl... 
Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3
I think you're mistaking the tube statement. The Calypso is great with stock tubes, but because it only needs two 12AX7's and two 6922's, it tends to benefit from NOS. I could be more than happy with stock tubes, but knowing what is possible, I fo... 
Just got Audible Illusions L1, but it sound harsh
DNA-1 is a great choice 
best Marantz tuners?
10b is the top, model twenty is next up, still has the scope and is more affordable. 
DIY Interconnects review
Hi Jan, I actualy did start to sell these through Jade Audio... Thanks for the kind words. 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
What a mean thing to say. I spoke to John many times, and admittedly he cut cost on the crossover and internal wiring. He helped talk me through what I might do...

Jonathan,I also have my IVa's on points. In my case I uses BDR pucks and cones. Same result. In order to keep the tweeter at its original height I removed the Dunlavy base completely (do not do this with kids or pets) which might have clarified th...

Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????
I see I never did finish this discussion. I instead wrote a full review on my crossover modifications. Please check it out at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rspkr&1164387495 Pedrillo, keep us informed! 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
In theory the perfect placement would be along the long wall with the tweeter 1/3rd into the room and you 1/3rd into the room. This sounds impossible, so next best is 1/5th into the room…Third best is along the short wall, 1/3rd into the room but ... 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
what is the room size? The equipment wall is how long? and the width? 
Aesthetix Calypso or ARC LS26?
Standard Calypso vs. ARC LS26 is close, signature Calypso is hands down Aesthetix. I love the Calypso for it's simplicity, two tube sets which can be easily rolled for great results. The bass is wonderful, midrange near perfect and treble is clear... 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
There is room for modifications. I would not imagine the drivers need any modification in that John used premium cones throughout that model. The crossover components are indeed suspect. Cheap resistors is where I would start. Capacitors will clea...

Hi Greg,My good news is I’m still hanging in here. I have been on a heart transplant list for the past eighteen months. It was anticipated at the time a heart would be found within twelve months, but alas, I continue to wait. It literally could be...
