What does one purchase after owning horns?
I totally agree with chadeffect. once you get used to the effortless dynamics of a good horn system it will be very difficult to enjoy ANY planar speaker. you have already sold your unos, otherwise I'd have made some suggestions how to overcome th... 
Zero One Ti48 - Anyone Heard this?
I own this transport since around 5 years. very happy with it but have not compared it directly to other high end servers or conventional disc transport but I doubt that I could never get my mac mini sound only remotely as good as my slightly modd... 
The best tweeter design
a tweeter is only as good as the capacitor in front of it! a few years ago I have change the stock mundorf silver/gold caps in my avantgarde omega duos against teflon v-caps. the improvement was dramatic. a costly upgrade though.really amazing how... 
What is new with the Memory Player?
I and my audio buddy were very disappointed with the sound in the Behold room which sounded like hifi and not like music at all. We left the room after a few minutes shaking our head in disbelieve that such expensive electronics can sound so medio...

Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps?
Sherod,I totally agree with Atmasphere. Why put in 2nd best, save a few bucks and keep on wondering whow the sound would be if you would have installed the v-cap. Put your mind at ease, put in the v-caps and enjoy your music!As I said earlier, the... 
Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps?
I can't speak about the teflon v-cap in output stage application but would like to comment that replacing 2 x 3,3uF Mundorf silver/gold recently in my Omega DUOs tweeter XO made a huge improvement. Very costly upgrade but worth every penny imo.Duo... 
TFT V-caps installed in my tweeter XO in Omega DUO
Chris,that's a difficult question. Keep in mind that original DUO's are using the standard Mundorf Supreme whereas the Omegas are using silver/gold ones with a dc biasing cuircuit so if you upgrade from standard supreme to teflon v-caps you will g... 
TFT V-caps installed in my tweeter XO in Omega DUO
Chris,check out their webpage at www.v-caps.com.I agree Omega upgrade very expensive. the standard DUOs are coming with Mundorf supreme caps, 4,4 mF on each side. you would gain a lot changing the cheap Mundorf's to the v-caps. you would need 2 x ... 
Whose got best class D at this point?
I'd like to comment on class d amps on horns. I'm using a tact Millenium MKIII amp on my Omega DUO's which is highly modded.The tact is quite different than most other amps mentioned here. It directly convert's pcm tp PWM. It is incredibly quite a... 
Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read
Wondering how the V-cap TFTF will perform in a XO tweeter circuit. Any experience anyone?regardsDuomike 
VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to?
in 2000 I went from VR6 to Avantgarde DUO for a simple reason. I moved to a new appartment with a very large room with a lot of echo. I was never sure how long I'd stay in that place and didn't want to invest a lot in room treatment. Someone sugge... 
Is 5 Watts enough for Horns ?
my buddy is using a 6 watt chip amp (forgot name of that amp) on his Omega DUOs and even in his small room I hear this thing sounds strained and clips quite fast.I'm using a tact digital amp which putts out around 75 watts into the DUOs 16 ohm imp... 
any one have direct exp with hi-end hard drive?
I'm using the TI 48 from Zero One since almost 1 1/2 years and I'm very happy with it. It has replaced a Audio Meca Mephisto II.It is not only sounding and looking great, it is also very easy to use and it is totally independent of a computer.Soon... 
A great article on Class D/switching amps
I'm using a Tact Millenium class d amp since '99 replacing at that time pass aleph 2 mono blocks. The tact is different to the newer designs. I directly converts PCM to PWM so no DAC needed. Volume is adjusted by adjusting the voltage which is bee...
