Open Baffle Speakers
They sound wonderfull very open and balanced, Imaging is not that good IMHO, (I had Lowther on Open Bafle with a sealed Altec 416 woofer on the bottom a supertweeter) some detail is lost, I could never tell really how many guitars there were, not ... 
Help ...... excesssssssive sssssssssssssssssssss
Socoaste,The Fostex drivers you use are very interesting and yes they dont have a whizzer (good) but they do not give you the upper crust of high frequencies, thus you get ssssing.Do try a super tweeter, play around with IC.I am almost sure your s...

I second Cabasse, I have Cabasse Catalane, retail price was around 6k but you can find them now and then for around 2k which is a steal by any standard...I run them with 12 watts and passive preamp and they bring down the house with 94 db sensitiv...

Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
Rocc1007No, you will not loose the new tube advantage, you will only get better everything even more by adding the Mundorf caps.Remember the weakest link in your chain, is the limiting factor, adding better caps will make that link stronger etc...... 
Gainclone chip amp
I built a pair of the Thorsten inverted design, great for bass, livelier than tubes and not SS...It needs a preamp as gain is not so much I found. Good for bass a bit grainy on mids and highs...South43 I read the main advantage of a gainclone its ... 
Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
I just got the Mundorfs, both silver in oil and silver gold, breaking them in but by now it is sounding really good...I am using cheaper tubes for the break in so I really could not compare soundwise, but with the cheapy tubes it is sounding bette...

Power Conditioner for your amplifier?
Another Vote here for a Dedicated Power line, I run 8 awg cabling with 2 live 110 volt lines into an Isolation transformer that turns 220 into 110 volts avoiding the street ground...I tried to go back to the wall outlet and it was completely laugh... 
Wireless Slim Devices Squeezebox performance
The Squeezebox is a thing of beauty, the access to your music server is great, I enjoy having all the songs at my finger tip, I can never listen to a whole CD when using it..Do connect it to a DAC, anyway as much as I love my Squeezebox it is not ... 
If you have a "kick booty" DAC, does the transport
After a lot of tests and money thrown away I can tell you..the most important part of a digital playback is the Transport...the most expensive also.Yes it seems logical that a computer HD would read better, try it out and try a "real" good dedicat... 
Comparison of Vintage VS new Quad II amps
KT66 are said to be much better than KT88-6550, a cult following almost, as good as the 300B, but harder to get and more expensive.Good KT66 are Genelex made in England, either smoked glass or clear. There are new KT66 by Groove tubes, good but no...
