Help with Apogee Diva Crossover
Madhf:I did take a look at the manual and yes you were refering to the MR coil. Yes, its value should be 0.05mH. I recommend Alpha Core airfoil inductor. By the way, you should also add a very large cap in series with the coil to protect your ribb... 
Help with Apogee Diva Crossover
Madhf: I replied to you at the Apogee forum that the values of this inductor should be 0.05mH. But I am not sure we are talking about the same (L5) inductor as I do not have the manual that you are refering to.Essentially. there will be only two i... 
Looking for a non-powered sub
I have a pair of Audio Artistry Dvorak subs. Each sub is a dipole sub, with one 10" woofer firing on the front and one firing on the back. They are a great match for planar speakers. I am driving them with a Hsu Research power amp with adjustable ... 
Have you seen the VR9SE Review?
Mike:This was a great review. Congratulations.I believe a review which took one year of listening (not one year to write) carries considerably more credibility than somthing written based on quick impression which is usually arbitrary. Of course, ...

Review: TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V SACD/CDP CD Player

Eidolon Vision ?
Luca: I did listen to Avalon Visions, driven by big Pass Lab amps. They were cool, and sounded good. They were quite laid back though.I also listened to the Avalon Sentinels, the big ones and the grand dady of all Avalons. I *totally* loved them a...

Which components knocked you out on first listen?
