Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
I did try bi amping during the stay at home order and maybe noticed a little more clarity and less smearing of nuances and detail.  Overall I think bi wiring gives me  more of an improvement than biamping.  I guess if covid comes back in the fall ... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
the crossover is mounted on a cross brace(L to R) maybe 8" back from woofer opening.   I replaced all the caps  and have no resistors in the crossover since I am using the hi setting on tweeter.  I would just replace all the caps while the hood is...

bdp24I read through many threads regarding the copper foil wax inductors before pulling the trigger. Actually Danny was a fan of Erse inductors FWIW. The Erse’s are a stock item at parts express and cheaper than the copper foil in wax . I forgot t... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
With the Covid stay at home order in MI I decided to play around with the .6MH inductor.  I tried the new Jantzen copper foil in wax 14 gauge, which is all the rave.  Sadly, it thinned out the mids with maybe a slight increase in detail.....btw I ...

I am curious what Audiogoners are using for speaker wire on the Eminents?  I had been using single run of Xindak FS-1 which I thought was great.  However upon returning to running 2 identical runs  of Straightwire Maestro 10' per speaker I was jus... 
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
I have a pair of Ming Da 3008a monoblocks.  40 watts of SET.  They play as loud as a 100 watt SS amp.  I never forgot when I first heard them.....how the music stopped and started on a dime with the best separation and black background.  It was a ...

Eric,The only reason I went with Clarity TC's in exchange for the 470uf electrolytic is they were deeply discounted  at PCX a few years back.  Think I'd go for the Audionote Kaisei bipolar as I have the 63V 10Kuf x6 in my power supply of class D a...

Ming Da MC-3008-A2 Mono Blocks
I own the 3008a monoblocks and all I can say is WOW. With the right tubes these amplifiers will seduce you in every frequency. I am driving some old VMPS Tower IISE to loud levels. They are a 4 ohm load and 90db at 1 watt which is efficient. The b... 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
I have owned many expensive preamps including Joule LA 100 MKIII and LA 150. I currently own the Ming Da MC2A3 with NOS tubes. This is by FAR the best piece of equipment I have owned regardless of price. It is truly a sonic revelation. My audiophi...

Joe,I know your still living in your parents basement listening to their one box Panasonic unit and borrowing their car for your job at Mcdonalds. Have you ever been with a woman(beside your sister)?
