Paul, who organizes Carolina Audio Society, got back to me with the latest news about CAS. CAS is still active and hopes to resume scheduled listening sessions as soon as March, as long as Covid keeps trending downward. He will be sending an email...

I just reached out to Paul who organizes Carolina Audio Society. I will post his response when received. In the interim, I am open to having a small group here for some tunes and talk. Mike  
A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?

Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
"tearing the music apart, ripping it literally to bits, manipulating and altering and stitching it back together again" I always wondered how digital stuff worked. mahgister, I applaud your work. Passive room treatment is very important and can ...

sps55, Congratulation on your new purchase. Greg is a good guy and makes a nice product.  This is such an interesting and diverse industry. There is truly something for everyone. It's a great time to be an audio component consumer. We feel privil... 
Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
Trinnov unit is not cheap but it's not $18K. It's priced just under $7K. It included all crossover filters, analog-in, digital-in and analog-outputs.

secretguy, Sorry, I don't.   
Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
I understand. Most of us carefully choose our components. We buy them because we like the way they sound. As you said we pick them for a reason. I am respectful of everyone's opinion (well almost everyone's) and encourage people to use what they a... 
Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
We always suggest to our customers to use passive room treatment as needed if they can. High quality DSP/RC is much more than just EQ. It’s a mistake to think they are the same. Also, high quality DSP/RC corrects issues that passive room treatment...

The system the OP is referring to was an all analog tube based system except for the digital crossovers. It was comprised of all REF Audio Research tube electronics, analog only front end and Apollo 12 active speakers. All crossover filters were d...

I am happy to offer a technical description about our Apollos and a general description of planar-ribbon speakers if you are interested. The sonic differences can be judged by others.  
Elrog 300b vs we300b
Tried Sophia Electric blue glass and Shuguang. My guess is that both the WE and Elrog are better than those. I was going to sell my 300B amps until I tried the EMLs. Most of my experience is with 45s and 2A3s. I have tried many NOS and new issue 4... 
Elrog 300b vs we300b
I suggest adding EML 300B mesh plates to your list. To me in my system they are considerably better than other new issued 300Bs I tried. While I have only tried a few 300Bs I have gone through many 45s and 2A3s including a few rare globe 45s. The ... 
Question for those who know about open baffle speakers...
I suspect that part of what impressed you was the control that DSP offers. All of our speakers are OB dipole and DSP controlled. Through development of our OB speakers we went through iterations of passive, analog active and DSP active. After a le...
