How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
Do the NC400 Hypex kits come with two mono amps or do you have to buy two at € 650 for stereo? 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
That’s strange ketchup my ca200 goes into protection mode without the zobels. That is strange.  Which CA-200 do you have?  The one with the heat sinks on the back or the later one with the heat sinks on the sides?  Which Goertz speaker cables do... 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for you, but I use MI-3 cables in my system and my Classe CA-200 does not have any problems without zobels.  I bought a pair from Geortz just in case, though, and they were only $20.  Is there any reason why...

GaN-based Class D power amps
Nord Acoustics will be releasing a NC1200 based amplifier for under $3500 Still too expensive.  They need to sell a kit version of this module.  I'd rather put it in my own enclosure and save 1-2 grand.

Groovy Picture
The notable one, to me, is Audiotechnica's ART 1000 cartridge which attaches very tiny coils to the tip end of the cartridge (just behind the stylus). As far as I know, this is a unique design. The ART 1000 is similar to the Neumann DST:http:/... 
Groovy Picture
Yep, as explained in the video.

This whole video is totally worth watching, but if you can’t wait to see a stylus tracing a groove, fast forward to 4:25. Electron microscope slow-motion video of vinyl LP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuCdsyCWmt8  
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
People who loved their Thiel speakers often discovered over time that the front baffles, on certain models, would crack and pull away from the side of the cabinets. Comparing Tekton to Thiel is silly.  Thiel were extremely high quality loudspe...
