| Perfectionist Audio All my life I suppose my own audio journey has been more defined by my own lack of funds at almost any point along the way. Not that it bothered me all that much. To pass the time when saving up for this or that piece of gear, I read. Actually, I ... | |
| Voltage Problems in the Caribbean My goto guru for all things power is a dude who has his business on facebook - Alan Maher of Alan Maher Designs. He has lots of experience and quite some grasp of how power grids work all over the globe and what it all means for audiophiles. He ha... | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Kijanki, saw the photo and diagram of your driver, but couldn't see how to disassemble it though. If you're still stuck, you can contact someone at Hyperion and ask...that would be a reasonable expectation of anyone to get some kind of answer on i... | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity I haven't actually seen an actual midrange that uses ferrofluid before, but one thing must be true: the magnetic gap itself cannot be designed to be sealed against contact with ambient air (not and still make the driver be able to move in and out ... | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Tweeters that use ferrofluid in the magnetic gap can dry out over years causing (at first) an unexplained channel imbalance in the highs and then progessively both a more rolled-off HF response and decreased power handling...if you play them loud ... | |

| THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT. Peter, let me say I much admire your efforts here. I don't know if you can swing it exactly, but, if at all possible, I would like to see one alternative and that is for one of your duplex choices to be, in fact, no duplex at all - in effect, a tr... | |
| Class D amps? Hypex Ncore (a small-scale true class-A with a proprietary class-D follower stage). I understand these are already very, very good indeed and Ric Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems (Calif.) has just anounced (a few days ago) his own mods for ... | |
| Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo You may need to google "oppo 93/95 mod comparison EVS". | |
| Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo Dunno which Oppo you mean, but I wouldn't make a move on one until you first go to EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) and look at Ric Schultz's comparison page on his own mods for the 93/95 vs those of ModWright, the Upgrade Company and Exemplar. ... | |
| Replace volume pot Sorry, I mean the fault lies inside the XLR output stage, of course. | |
| Replace volume pot I suspect that your preamp's volume pot would have malfunctioned on both the single-ended outs AND the XLR outs if it were to blame. I'm guessing at this point the fault lies inside the preamp's single-ended output stage. I've run my pair of SM-70... | |
