American made cartridge anyone?
Why is this important? Yeah, we "forgot" how to do fine, intricate work. Hello!?!? We invented computers and robotics that can do it much more accurately and faster than any human hand. This has not transferred to cartridge making because there is... 
Why the obsession with the lowest octave
Bob, implementing this highpass in a post-amp crossover will require some really large values. To design this correctly would take knowledge of the drivers and the network in use. It would make sense for a poll that low in frequency to look to an ... 
Best active crossover?

What credit cards do you use?
Enjoy your CC, Kijanki. You obviously put more across yours than I ever would. I'll say it again, nothing is free. If the cc company is giving you something it is being paid for somewhere. You can bet your ass on it.
