Cardas Golden Reference - Reterminate?
I appreciate the fact that resale value only would exist if Cardas did the termination. This, of course, is an option (have Cardas 're-terminate & certify') now and after my own termination procedures.I remain confident about my abilities, as ... 
Cardas Golden Reference - Reterminate?
Technique is important in removing the coating on the litz wires - simply ensure that all conductor tips are covered with flux and dip into a solder pot. I'm very capable and successful at this (strictly a hobby!)I'm still left with uncertainty ab... 
Cardas Golden Reference - Reterminate?
Musicnoise,I've found information on the web that discusses the wiring needed to *convert* XLR to RCA, which is identical to the instructions you describe above. I'm wanting to understand, however, if the internal wiring of the CGR reflects this a... 
Cardas Golden Reference - Reterminate?

JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston Savoy?
They are still being produced. In fact, Mike Kelly continues to make 'improvements' over time. While he won't divulge specifics, he will commit to improvements in sound quality: better integration of drivers (suggests xover changes to me), and hin...

JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston Savoy?
Thank you all for your replies! I have to agree with the opinions about the Nova's, which I've heard and really am impressed by. I'm struggling to know more about the Savoy's, as there is no dealer here in california. I've called eggleston, and th...
