My Rhea's new partner arrives today
I'm interested in your reaction to the Calypso. Please keep us posted as it settles in. Thanks 
DarTZeel Preamp
JTinn, thanks for the offer. I'm on the E coast, hardly convenient. I didn't realize that the first run of the preamp hadn't even been shipped yet. Will you or anyone from DartZ be demonstrating the preamp at CES in Jan?MikeLavigne, Hooper or MES,... 
DarTZeel Preamp
Can we go back to discussing the preamp now? 
Manly Steelhead - any downside??
The phono stage of the Steelhead gets wide praise. For those of us interested in a full function preamp, how does the line stage compare to the line stages of other preamps in its class/price category? I'm thinking of CAT, Aesthetix, etc. Please a... 
EMM vs Remiyo
No1Will, there is another thread "Reimyo vs EMM" that was begun on 5 05 05. It comes up in a search under "Reimyo" in digital. Thanks to everyone who has answered. For the record, in the other thread some people expressed preference for the Reimyo... 
EMM vs Remiyo
Pardon me folks, I somehow missed the previous thread on EMM vs Reimyo. It probably makes more sense to go back to that one if anyone has new info to post. 
A few systems heard at the Rocky Mntn. audiofest
I think this thread is very useful and potentially even more so if we can get past the personal issues. I'd appreciate other people sharing their listening strategies. I find that I'm unable to assess an audio setup when the recorded music is ampl...

Jeffrey, who was demonstrating the AG horns? Specifically, was it the manufacturer, the US distributor or a particular dealer? Thanks 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Tab, So you are recommending to remove the bottom plates of the NC XOs AND use spikes to improve their performance...therefore I'm picturing the XOs up on spikes with the bottom completely open, right? I still don't understand your second sentence... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Tab, thanks for the recommendation and warning about the bottom plates. I don't think I'd use the XOs if I couldn't have the bottom plates on while doing so, since I have the speakers mounted on Sound Anchor stands that fit over the plates. 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Re: NC XOs. It didn't occur to me that there would be 6 posts on the new binding post plate instead of the stock 4. So, I gather that there are three pairs of wires--one for each driver--coming out of the external XO, and that each of these pairs ... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Ken, Thanks again. I've got a much clearer picture now of how it will work out, depending on whether the new binding post plates fit or not.I wouldn't alter the speaker box to make the new binding post plate fit. I was speaking of possibly re-mach... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Ken, thanks for the additional detail. I see the route in now. ;) Do you have to leave the 801 bottom covers permanently off in order to use the NC XOs? I already have the speakers on Sound Anchor stands.Dust is an issue at my place. If the NC rep... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond and Tenor Audio OTL
Costanzia,I second the previous posters' questions about your CAT JL-2. Would you be willing to go into a bit more detail about what is wrong with it? Why do you feel you need something else? This might help other readers with their replacement re... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Ken, thanks for the detail which I of course did not understand. Are the NC XO instructions illustrated? I can't even figure out how to open up the speaker. It seems hermetically sealed!I'm not mechanically challenged, just completely unfamiliar w...
