yes, I know a number of people like this, it's quite common, so my audiologist says.

I've found you have to leave these on for a while to get them sounding good. Not burn-in per se, but just have to be running 24x7 for some reason. I cannot explain it, but this DAC always sounds crappy at meets for some reason, and I've attributed it to this reason. Nice find though.

I just tested this last night. Trafo was an R-core with single primaries with marked phase. A 3A fuse blew when they were installed in one orientation, but not the other. YMMV.

Meh at blanket statements ..

I think the proposed modification to the KGSS might be a better match for the load. I suppose only Kevin can comment as he's simulated it.

sometime next year I might be interested in building the TakeT amp

in an ideal world, it would be 2 crossovers. and since it never is, then this is my issue. Plus, the crossovers are too simple and cannot do things like impedance flattening, which is very important in the low end region.

hey, random question.. I've bought a bunch of ASC caps recently, and have found the ones that are made in Japan have a different sound to them (for the better). Once you get them, check out the label, and I'll post the label of the ones I have that I'd propose sound better

Mathematica is the suck. Octave is the win.

how much can you get a set of TakeT for?

Nate said something like "fuuddzgy bummny" to me.

The Rega Planar 3 (with upgrade motor) and RB300 can scale up much further than budget cartridges. It's a great sounding little system.

geez, if they'd only do one of these for say wine... Franzia FTW!

hm, you should have included D1, yes optional, but still a good idea. Also, LED should go to V-

is the LED in backwards? and where is the LEDs current source / current limiter whatever-the-term-is?

yeah, I second the question on DIY or no. If DIY, then how much so, low end of the scale being grawk's suggestion, high end of the scale being something that deals with heat sinks and the casework chores that go with it...

not the rocks, but their positioning. You have to look through the material to see the immaterial beauty.

figured I'd try the insanely priced resistors (Duelund silver and carbon). I mean, when your already at ~$1,500 for 4 drivers, what's ~$60 for four resistors? Here's my inspiration:

please hide from swt61, but some primo parts ....

me too

heh, moar amps and modding the DEQ means another year without a complete system no thanks. I'll stick with Speaker Workshop and LEAP and breadboards and massive inductors for now. That said, it would be lots of fun....

and you can mod them 10 ways to sun down if I weren't such a snob, I'd own one and wire it up to each driver in a three way (speaker) and go to town...

I'd also take a shot at reading this: [audio physic] - no loss of fine detail and the Cardas website articles, for example here's one: Cardas Audio
