If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps...
I would take a good look at deHavilland HiFi very affordable and excellent preamplifiers.  
Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month.
brianAs a sound engineer you are probably familiar with the Bricasti M7 reverb. Bricasti has gotten in to hifi in a big way with their M1 DAC which is remarkable. They now have a preamplifier, the M12. You should be able to talk to Damon, he is on...

prpixelThat is a great job investigating........seriously awesome

I believe you would like the Zesto Audio preamplifier........a lot... 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
vinnyNice observation and thanks for reading them. Wilson Beseech has done more R & D into speaker and driver construction then any company I know of, perhaps all of them put together. On their website they have so much information.wilsonbenes...

I see that Magico has added a new M series speaker with carbon fiber planels. Carbon fiber is very light, read: low mass. They have tried many other materials for their cabinets  and now choose this produce. Perhaps there is something to the idea ...

Back to the car at the stoplight with the music blaring. What I hear is this horrible distorted bass, a result from the back of the drivers getting the whole car excited and actually increasing the volume because the car now becomes a huge driver....

helomech Not really I was just hoping that you had hit the sheets for the evening. Want to make sure vine gets his monies worth out of this thread.  
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
Well the Harbeth " model " is the exception. The resonance of MDF is low but their cabinets are thin and " loose " which raises the resonance, so they have chosen to lower it.In most speakers  low resonance excite the cabinet creating a very large... 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
All speaker manufactures attempt to raise the resonance of their cabinets since low frequencies are extremely difficult to dissipate. Those bass busters deal more with the cabinet resonance from poorly designed speakers then from the waves off the...

Twisted login helomech....where do you get this Schiit.Another illogical argument based on lack of knowelege of material resonance. Thick and highly braced MDF cabinets have a higher resonance point than thin walled designs like a Harbeth - usuall... 
Schiit not shipping
I would like to thank everyone who posted here. My Nitrous Oxide bills have been greatly reduced.  
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
helomechTell that to Harbeth.... 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
I would say that because MDF is heavier then Plywood it is going to have a lower resonance point, meaning the MDF will store vibrations longer, much like a heat sink, and release it slowly causing a smearing of the imaging. Then by bracing in an e... 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
Which ever material is lower mass would be better. High mass materials have a low resonance point. Very difficult to deal with low frequencies. Aluminum has never seemed viable as a musical speaker cabinet material. I don't think it will stand the...
