Dumb break in question...
geoffkaitI use the XLO TEST CD Burn in track to burn in the CD player, and everything else in the system. Works like a champ. System demagnetization tracks also included. Why take chances? Gosh, we would never take such chances!!!!

Non-rear ported Speakers
As mentioned above, I am also in the market for a pair of inexpensive bookshelf speakers and likely will purchase the Triangle BRO3, for being  $550 not to much on the line if I don't like them.  They have received the usual buzz from the you tube...

Dried up Ferrofluid?
Sorry erik, I must have missed your answer.  I wouldn't have expected you to build the cabinets, a whole other deal requiring the woodworking tools.  Just buying a kit with all the parts preselected by someone else seems adventurous to me.  As I m... 
Dried up Ferrofluid?
Erik, I asked you a while ago, but you never answered.  I read your paper on a pair of speakers you built, but asked how many pairs you have actually assembled?  Is it the one pair, really just curious, I am not handy and wouldn't dare try. 
Dried up Ferrofluid?
I went through the exercise about a year ago with some old soft dome Scanspeak tweeters.  I did watch a few you tube videos explaining how to disassemble the tweeter, clean out the old fluid and install new fluid.It turns out my Scanspeak classic ... 
3 budget speaker cable choices
I have the BJC Canare and Belden (not 1313A) speaker cables. In my systems the Belden sounds flat and veiled compared to the Canare. Couldn’t wait to take the Belden out.In general BJC seems to prefer Belden over Canare, and I wonder if it is beca...

@jpwarren58  Thanks, hopefully it won't take that long to receive it.  In any case I will look forward to your thoughts.

@jpwarren58  Did you end up purchasing the Triangle Bro3 speakers?  If you did how do you like them?  I am thinking about purchasing a pair.  Great buzz about them with the usual you tube reviewers. 
I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go?
If a place is mentioned, do you plan on traveling to it ?Probable answer, maybe if its not too far from where OP lives.  Besides, its interesting to see people's opinion on what are the great remaining audio stores. 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
cleeds +1Also if you guys were in the store with me and heard how I was being spoken to you’d be singing a different tune. Actually d2, we were more or less agreeing with you. 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
How do you know the store or distributor is greedy? There may be agreements in place involving the manufacturer that dictates these prices, and Accuphase itself maybe charging a premium for US distribution. Cleeds, while I see your point, other th... 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
Why? Do you think he owes you a discount? Perhaps the dealer never discounts. Maybe he reserves discounts for only his best customers, which is an understandable policy.Seems pretty clear why he could expect a discount. Greedy store has jacked up ... 
Class D amplifiers have very little phase shift
Erik, I may have missed it in another thread, but about how many pairs of and different configuration of pairs of speakers have you built?  Were they from the kits I see online? Seems like it might be fun, if they turned out OK which might not be ...
