Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I am also of the opinion that the few manufacturer posters are welcome. No problem at all. They can share opinions, insights, and comedy if they like. In the end, we all learn more and will still make our own purchasing decisions based on our pref...

Chayro, I am very sorry for your loss and pray God's peace for you and your family. I was touched by your post and thank you so much for reaching out to our Audiogon community.

I found a person who will help me fix it.

Thanks to all. I have found the answer and all is good. 
Is this the best layout for Audiogon...?
Love the yellow...like comfort food for me.

Jwm, the varying input impedance of the stunt stepped Shallco is a real non issue based on my experience. The sound quality improvement of only one resistor and one switch in the signal path etc....is much more important. One can also place a larg...

I have not tried the Jensen ribbon inductors. I purchased some expensive North Creek 10 gauge. Thanks for the tip as I will look at them.

Forgot to mention Glasshouse stepped attenuators as they are also better and can get very expensive. Hifi Collective sells them. Both of these are better than the K based on my research over the past year. I can tell you these top flight stepped a...

I just installed Path Audio resistors in my crossover and so far I am very pleased. I think they make resistors for speakers only. High wattage rating, 10 watt, resistors in lower speaker values only. I am not 100% sure however.I have not heard or...

Thanks Metbguy1. Perhaps I have been lucky over the years. I do know many folks will not buy modified gear and that certainly reduces the audience for modded gear. I and others like me actually like to buy modified gear that was done right from te...

Yes the resistors do have a somewhat constipated character right now. They are smooth, but certainly constipated and as you say a tad recessed. I will report back after another 50 or so hours.

Folks look at my feedback so when I share my next point you may believe me. I have had no problem selling any off my modified gear at the same price and more compared to the same unmodified unit. Not a problem for me in the past. I read about this...

I placed the new Pathaudio resistors in my crossover today. They are huge and built like no other resistor I have ever seen. I will post pictures on my virtual system page ASAP. The seem to be smoother than the Mills MRA they replaced. They need t... 
The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under
I use Pathaudio resistors now. Very good indeed. No reason to buy Duelund caps for speakers and pay those outragious prices. The new Jupiter copper foil is the trick. $400-$600 for the set of two instead of thousands!

Call Jupiter and talk to Chris. They have 100v larger speaker value caps coming out soon and he has some right now. I purchased some 3.3uf ones and they are splendid.
