Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's
Hey Tubegroover ,Good to hear your excitement and anticipation over the DeCapos. I just love the things. My new BE tweeters arrived via Fed Ex this evening and they look great. I am a bit to tired to install them tonight so it looks like an early ... 
Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's
Hey Roxy...Thank you for the fine (long awaited) compliments.For me...... These speakers just did something. I would perceive that they are VERY equipment sensitive. I have heard that the BE tweeter would adjust for that quirk. Right away, the DeC... 
Integrated Amp for Silverline Prelude II
I am very impressed with Audio Analogue amps. Superb quality and workmanship and a very musical sound. I own the Maestro Settanta Rev2 and that amp would work wonders for your Silverlines. For less money the Puccini would also be an excellent matc... 
DirecTV HD reciever Digital output
Theo,Looks like you are doing a bit of shuffling. My, how the boxes keep coming and going with this fatal addiction that we so casually call a hobby.I have been doing a bit of changing myself. I have recently aquiried a fine pair of Ref. 3a DeCapo... 
DirecTV HD reciever Digital output
Theo,Go for it. Adding a dac to sources such as DTV, Apple TV and XM Radio is a great addition. Of course do not expect anything near sonic nirvana, but for just listening to hassle free music, I believe that it is a perfect way to go. FM radio is... 
The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
A friend recently purchased a Parasound Halo series amp and preamp. Since I was using a Parasound Halo T3 tuner, he wanted it badly. He traded me his Mcintosh MR78 straight across for it. He hardly listens to tuners, but wanted it mainly for the "... 
Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ?
Something told me that this was going to get a bit deep. It seem as though many manufactures have there own ways of communication. Not all are bad and some are respectively good. A few years ago, my old system was a pathetic attempt at forcing tha... 
Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ?
Shakey,This is indeed a brutal hobby. Perhaps a bloodsport..... How I have lasted over 50 years of crawling around empty boxes and peanuts, I will never know. It seems as though there is always another speaker lurking in a back alley whispering my... 
Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ?
Rebbi / TubegrooverI am so anxious to get the new amp that I can hardly eat. I am beginning to believe that the DeCapos are the best speakers that I have ever had... big or small. As I crawl through the A'gon listings every day, looking at all the... 
Best Integrated, period.
Audio Analogue: Maestro series (Rev.2).Real nice integrated amps. Google Audio Analogues webs and you will see a gorgeous set of amps that just drip with quality and outstanding workmanship. Cheers !! 
Classe DR-8 Schematic
Btw:There is also an ad in the Canuck audio mart with a picture of the innerds of a DR8. Looks a bit on the " modded " side to me. Far too many red wires. Just a pet peeve of mine, but if you are going to mod something, at least take the time to m...

Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ?
I have now owned the DeCapo-i's for about a month. Every day that goes by, I am more amazed by just how good that they really are. Even with my little Jolida 202, they are simply stunning. I have talked a few times with the people at Ref. 3a about... 
Are there any DACs that can go low?
Dacs, Dacs Dacs.... They seem to come and go like the morning sun. Some do this and some do that, but the true goal of a dac is to TRY and (somehow) sound analog. The goofy little things seem to span a cost factor that is mind boggling. I truly ca...
