Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
SabaiThere are some of us around who used the original Audiopoint's 2.0's for resonance dissapation on the top of loudspeakers and some chassis's. You simply turned it up side down with the point facing up. That was 10 or 12 years back. I also wal... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker
I still have mine and have done some changes...all simple. Even now more coherent and quiet. Wall to wall soundstage that now has more meat on its bones. The dynamic tension methods on the woofer and crossover...well no one else does that even at ... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Well Bill at least he is here not pushing the same old crap that kills the music... convoluted foam and fiberglass. Some text books need to be set next to the toilet and there pages put to some good use. People should listen and think beyond the p... 
Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain?
Joe Grado in 1984 supplied his $50 cartridge with a free small triangular mount with 3 small protrusions that set between the the body and the headshell. Better coupling more sound.Tom 
Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain?
Isolation only exists in the absence of matter. Come to think of it with no matter there is no existence. Drain the vein..the method is the magic. Quadruple entendre's may apply. Tom

Out of sight out of mind. Value is in measurements. A sand cast resistor measures the same as a Vishay foil or a Duelund. The sonic difference will make you jump out of your chair. If they can't measure the the benefit of brass fasteners over stee...

Thanks Undertow for your response. You, like me seem to make all the values plus or minus 1%. Do you believe that manufacturers go to the exacting component value matching that most contributors to this thread subject their own components to? I be...

UndertowThank you for your efforts of observation and Clarity..pun intended. What ratio works for you with the combo of MR's and S/O's. Example please. Thanks Tom

DaveAre you saying to measure the value of the main cap. A cap that is is supposed to be 10uf and measures 9.5uf then you would add the same brand and type of cap in this case .5uf. This is exactly what I did some years ago with a set of Dunlavy's...

Undertow,Certainly appreciate your thoughtful input on these very difficult and time consuming evaluations. In my own experience I have found that the addition of bypass caps in speakers results in a loss of precise focus and change in the harmoni... 
Just a stinkin fuse...
So Chuck lets buy a new mold..We both know how these speakers work and can work and the resulting playback is in 3D.. Tom

Peter Snell's patent from the mid 70's had a rendition that predicted the floor speaker inneraction and the geometry to overcome this problem. Mr Snell's patent is a thing of beauty and describes in detail a speaker and many of its boundary reacti... 
The CD player is dead.......
Going to take a couple Zanies and smoke the peace pipe with my neighbors daughter and explain how resonance control is beneficial within the hemisphere and makes for better coupling. Probably be playing a cd in the round. Tom

As a former commissioned salesman I request a % of that increase on every Duelund component sold hereafter. Thank you for your keen observation and your gratuitous response. I will forward you my direct deposit information. Tom
