Personal speaker evolution
If you wonder where all those old Bose speakers went well.... I got em (they are much better stacked!) In a moment...the rest of the story.Sincerely, I remain 
Speaker placement formula
Formulas are great but you can only use them to get a very general idea. Real rooms are a lot more complex acoustically than most formulas take into account. Few allow for furniture, wall/floor surface type, much less the polar radiation pattern o... 
looking on preamp to match otl amp.
I would ask this question at one of the OTL forums. ASOG (atmosphere OWners Group) or at Transcendental Sound w/ Bruce Rozenblit. I have his tube design book and he made a point of saying that OTLs are "fast" and that they need the proper front en...

Phase inverting preamps
This reminds me of the old Marshall Guitar Amp ads which ran "It comes out bigger and upsidedown." (Still one of my favorite posters.) Whatever you want to call it, it's part of the process. For the most part, all standard active devices used as v... 
What speakers for a 10 x10 room?
Ehider, that is a great deal. I was not aware of the scanspeak available at that price in a retail speaker. If the crossover does justice it is something to look at. I have used the 7inch 8546/8646 lots and the 8530(the 5inch) quite a lot and it i... 
Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly
All interesting from a "technical" point of view. Sometimes "technical" does not all add up in my experience. I have heard some very nice "box" speakers and worked on a few. Ultimately I think the box is more a problem than the crossover. Drivers ... 
Splitting a balanced signal ???
BE CAREFUL!! I had a balanced signal once. I split it and have never been the same. I think i lost my reference to ground.Sincerely, i remain 
Mods for DYNA ST-70, What do you think??
Curcioaudio.com is one of the better Dynaco ST70 mod sites. Joe, the owner, knows em cold. All the mods are discussed there and he carries all the parts. No "best configuration." Some of the ST70s iron is great. They really vary as to condition in...

Say it ain't so!Good luck Cornfed. Hate to lose a high ender with a sense of humor.I tell you - I am on my best behavior in any deal here now!!!(Are you licensed to practice in their state? Only another attorney would ask.)Sincerely, i remain 
My first and last DIY project
Well done. Can't believe it's a first project! Did you get the specs somewhere?

Are you a D.I.Y?
If you like to tinker its great. It's the equivalent of home cooking. I have only messed with tubes for a short period and it is amazing to me how few components are needed for a circuit and most of the designs have been around forever. Audioexpre... 
Capacitance ?
I agree with Sean. Never had an Adcom but would bet the switch is to match capacitance with your phono cartridge. If you like vinyl look in the cartridge manual for suggested setting. Will likely have to include tone arm wire and cable capacitance...
