| Dunlavy Minimum Phase Mods ....It was rumored that many in the business found his regular numerous returns of out of acceptable spec parts annoying. | |
| Dunlavy Minimum Phase Mods Before I mislead you, he didn't say that exactly. Though he might(?!) have been implying it. Remember John Dunlavy was much about wave form and ergo time fidelity. In an article in Stereophile he confided that step response was his go to measureme... | |
