Built your own speakers ?
I have tried to build my own speakers as well using Dynaudio drivers. It took years and lots of tinkering. I was never satisfied. I thought I could make them sound even better each time I played with the cross-over and box. I spent more time playi... 
Good cheap silver wire?
Steve, I bought the 6 foot pair from warrengregorie.com and it went together very well. The wire only cost $229.00 for the pair and it is 99.999% pure not 99.99%. The wire was also not 30 awg each conductor. The wire came as one piece of 18 awg, o... 
Good cheap silver wire?
I have built these (http://www.warrengregoire.com/hifi-stereo-silvercables.htm)speaker cables a month ago. They work well but are still burning in. I bought the 6 foot cables. I also bought my digital interconnect from Interlinkhouse and like it v...

Audible Illusions Modulus 3a tubes
Lihifiguy, I just tried last week. Times have changed. He would supply Sovtec 6922 but no NOS. All others like 12ax7 and 12au7 NOS he will supply. His web site even now states no NOS tubes for the 6922 series. I then called him and he said no! I a... 
Audible Illusions Modulus 3a tubes
I have a Melos Maestro that I am trying to buy tubes for. It uses two 6922's like the AI 3A but Kevin Deal will not sell any 6DJ8's, 6922's or 7308's to anyone who has not bought their piece from him, I tried. I did hear though that Amperex 7308's... 
North Creek DIY projects
I built the Rhythm speaker kit. I did not use the Revelator but the value. I think they are great. I had the boxes made and assembled the crossover.

Does silver speaker wire sound bright?
I am using a silver balanced digital interconect. My other interconects are Distech Platinum and Cardas Hexlink 5. My Speaker cables are three separate pairs of pure silver wire equaling 15 AWG individually wrapped in PTFE. My amp and preamp are t... 
Does silver speaker wire sound bright?
I am willing to wait for the sound to get better. Just to clairify, these cables are 99.999% pure silver, not copper, 15 AWG with no lug termination. I agree with Carl that the cable should be a larger AWG. I was not aware of the cable he mentione... 
Does silver speaker wire sound bright?
Thank you all for the info. The speaker wire was a kit and I heard that silver was the best, so for the price I went for it. It is 15 awg cable consisting of a 22 awg, 20 awg and a 18 awg 5N silver wire. For the 6 foot pair, the cost was $229.00 a... 
Guilty pleasure music?
Fast Ball, old Black Sabbath. Old Genesis is great nothing to be embarassed about there at least up to And Then There Were Three album. 
Good choices for first time DIY speaker?
I feel that if you want to build speakers for your system from scratch and you never did it before you should do a kit. I bought a mess of Dynaudio driver and proceeded to build one speaker (I wanted to perfect one before building the other). The ...
