| Cello Palette w/ Capacitors The original Cello Palette looked like this. The knobs are small on the inside but have a larger ring that is flush with the front panel. They have a very nice fell to them. I owned one of these in the mid 80's I seriously regret selling it. ... | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? Kevin Voecks used Levinson amps to design these speakers. You might want to look at mid 90's amps from them. I had a pair of Studios and Gems from that era. Very nice speakers. | |
| White cabinet popularity? @pryso - Thanks. Yea, this is mostly a dedicated listening room. My home office is at the back of the room so that I can listen to tunes while I'm working. | |
| White cabinet popularity? I painted my speakers a metallic ceramic color (Mazda color) and I really like the way they turned out. | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th I would recommend using USB from any streamer into a Denafrips DAC. These DACs reclock the input data. If you use a synchronous input (anything other than USB), you risk FIFO overflow or underflow which will cause audible glitches. I currently ... | |
| Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B I decided to test the tubes in my 300B PSET amps today since I haven't done it for nine months or so. I am using a quad set of Western Electric reissue tubes. I've had them installed in my monoblock amps since early Dec 2021. According to my Roon ... | |
| High pass filter capacitors If you're willing to spend more (unfortunately considerably more), many consider the VCap CuTF the best sounding audio cap available. | |
| High pass filter capacitors I'd recommend the Miflex KPCU-03. Very nice sounding cap. I've used it for this same purpose. | |
| Impressions from Capital Audio Fest I was with a friend that was very interested in these speakers, so we had a private after-hours demo for about a half hour and listened to a number of different types of music. I am generally not much of a fan of horn speakers, so keep that in mi... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? I built a parallel 300B SET based on an ANK kit with a lot of modifications. I don’t have much experience with a single tube SET, but my amps sound very nice. Check out my virtual system. | |
| Open baffle speakers @mijostyn - I have not had that experience. My OB woofers have smoother in-room response than I have ever been able to achieve with conventional box subs. I suspect this is because they don’t excite the side to side room modes as much because of t... | |
| Open baffle speakers My woofer towers are H-frame open baffle with four servo-controlled 12" drivers. There is obviously cancellation at the lowest frequencies where the backwave wraps around, but the circuitry in the amp does an excellent job compensating for this. T... | |
| A brief review of GR Research Bully After many decades of owning lots of different commercial speakers (including Magneplanar Tympani IVs, Revel Studios, Duntech Sovereigns), I decided to try building a pair of GR NX-Oticas with Triple Threat subs. I was very impressed with the way... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread I agree. I'd like to see more vendors participating in the forum. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? @kevemaher - I suspect the crossover is not the biggest issue. I actually own a Sublime K235 (their newer model) and it seems pretty good although I don't currently have in my system. The graphic equalizer has many more lower-quality op-amps and c... |
