VMPS Speakers Co. Closes Down
Saddened to hear this, hope Brian can indeed recover and wishing him all the best. 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
Looks like there's nothing wrong with what you've stated about copper vs silver here. I can only add to that...except that I wouldn't call copper dark, so much as just mellow. With OCC vs OFC (or silver as well), lower-ordered rhythms are more eas... 
Hi-Fi Shop in Colombia, SC
I went inside Upstairs Audio, although it was many years ago. The only reason I remember it was because it made such a completely forgettable impression on me the moment I did - I'll just say that about everything you could imagine to violate the ... 
Perfectionist Audio
All my life I suppose my own audio journey has been more defined by my own lack of funds at almost any point along the way. Not that it bothered me all that much. To pass the time when saving up for this or that piece of gear, I read. Actually, I ... 
Voltage Problems in the Caribbean
My goto guru for all things power is a dude who has his business on facebook - Alan Maher of Alan Maher Designs. He has lots of experience and quite some grasp of how power grids work all over the globe and what it all means for audiophiles. He ha... 
Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity
Kijanki, saw the photo and diagram of your driver, but couldn't see how to disassemble it though. If you're still stuck, you can contact someone at Hyperion and ask...that would be a reasonable expectation of anyone to get some kind of answer on i... 
Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity
I haven't actually seen an actual midrange that uses ferrofluid before, but one thing must be true: the magnetic gap itself cannot be designed to be sealed against contact with ambient air (not and still make the driver be able to move in and out ... 
Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity
Tweeters that use ferrofluid in the magnetic gap can dry out over years causing (at first) an unexplained channel imbalance in the highs and then progessively both a more rolled-off HF response and decreased power handling...if you play them loud ... 
THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT.
Looks like you're already on it. Looking forward to the event! Wish I could be there. Update: Oh, now I see it in your OP... as Gilda Radner would,ve said..."nevermind"... 
THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT.
FWIW Peter, one other thing you might also consider is that one of the duplex choices be an ordinary household duplex for comparison's sake. I know, I know - the number of slots available for testing everyone's preferred duplex is necessarily prec... 
THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT.
Peter, let me say I much admire your efforts here. I don't know if you can swing it exactly, but, if at all possible, I would like to see one alternative and that is for one of your duplex choices to be, in fact, no duplex at all - in effect, a tr... 
Class D amps?
Hypex Ncore (a small-scale true class-A with a proprietary class-D follower stage). I understand these are already very, very good indeed and Ric Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems (Calif.) has just anounced (a few days ago) his own mods for ... 
Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo
You may need to google "oppo 93/95 mod comparison EVS". 
Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo
Dunno which Oppo you mean, but I wouldn't make a move on one until you first go to EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) and look at Ric Schultz's comparison page on his own mods for the 93/95 vs those of ModWright, the Upgrade Company and Exemplar. ... 
Replace volume pot
Sorry, I mean the fault lies inside the XLR output stage, of course.
