sbayne,I have the sb acoustics SB29RDNC-C0000-4 ring dome tweeters in my DI's and I haven't compared the 2 tweeters but I seriously doubt any big differences.Even though neither tweeter is made from exotic materials,they are most definitely always...

I would have to totally disagree with a night and day difference between high pwr amps and low pwr amps with the DI's.I have probably used more different amps in comparison than anyone else that I know of,the 1.4 watts from the MZ2S to 700 watts c...

imswjm,Since you are asking about Audio Archon's green cord,I can tell you I bought a 2m one and replaced a much more expensive Triode labs cord.This was the only change to my system that day and within 15 secs of listening I could hear the differ...

Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters
Erik,+1 on this statement."The idea that large drivers/subs are slow is a complete and utter myth. Same for bass reflex. The issue is not the speed of the drivers. The issue is usually that the deeper a speaker goes the more it excites room modes,...
