Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Roxy,I've heard that the Khozmo attenuator is a significant upgrade, but Brian steered me away from installing it from the get-go. He suggested getting the kit successfully built and burned in, and then perhaps doing that upgrade down the road. Th...

After_hrs,Cool, thank you. That was my impression from the YouTube video I saw. But it's sturdy?

Can any of the Wavetouch owners comment on my earlier question about how those phase plugs are attached? 
Beryllium Tweeters
About a year ago, when the BE tweeters first appeared in the Reference 3A lineup, I wrote to Tash Goka, head of Reference 3A, about upgrading my De Capo's to the new tweeter, and questioned him about the reputation of metal dome tweeters for harsh...

Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound
Nyaudio98,I got your personal message asking for my opinions about the De Capo versus the LSA 1 Statement. I thought I would answer in this forum so as to be helpful to anybody else who is interested in this topic.As I mentioned, I owned the State...

This thread on S'phile's (the clue) review, which I started on AudioAsylum.com, is absolutely fascinating, especially since John Atkinson participates. He gives no ground to the idea that the review was a botched job and yet - IMHO - if you read b...
