There are separate fuses for the right and left channel. Not just the main fuse.    they are contained on inside a small fuse holder on the left and right side after you open up the underneath.    I don’t have a photo at this time.    but those... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Yeah I think I’m just gonna take some 600 grit and run it up and down the shaft...yup. It wasn’t that big of a problem, but considering I used solid 12 gauge thhn for the ground, and wound it nice and tight, it was a a tad difficult to slide off. ...

Wanted to add to thismade my first helical power cord this evening. Following the most updated recs. I ran into just a few hiccups although the process went pretty smooth. Couple little things which I knew might me an issue but I was too impatient...

I just wanted to add my sincere thank you to those prominent members of this thread who have put a lot of time, money, and energy into coming to some of these conclusions. While I agree, no single solution will work for everyone's personal taste/s... 
Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
so I’ve just seen the photos of what the double impacts look like with the ribbon/AMT tweeter installed. I was not aware that the entire tweeter array was replaced with a single large vertical rectangular ribbon.  I can’t imagine he planned on rep...

@dancole - refreshing to actually hear from someone who has done exactly what I am consideirng. Very cool. Those individuals who have preferred the soft dome tweeters have also acknowledged that others with well acclimated ears have preferred the ... 
Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ??
Well I think I will probably end up trying the Kt77 first before anything else. Yes, suddenly I'm interested in upgrading the capacitors in the PL. Yes, suddenly I've been considering swapping into an alternative higher priced amp after considerin...

No doubt that array is magic. I’m very excited to experience it compared to the double impacts, which I already think are excellent.

I had that same conversation a week or so back. Great talk. Hard to disagree with the logic in his argument. Combined with his experience, that makes for one healthy recommendation.That being said, plenty of anecdotal experience from many individu... 
Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
@millercarbon yup. I have a feeling the situation you described with your Moabs has a high likelihood of happening with this custom build. Worst case, If things don’t seem to be working out when the time comes to actually build the speakers, I wil... 
Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ??
His motivation for proposing them was in response to me asking about the Be tweeter option.I told him I was interested in that option because I like the idea of having that little extra touch of air and clarity in the top end, as long as it’s not ...

I don’t plan on selling my double impacts until the new encores are settled. I absolutely plan on doing side by side comparisons when the time comes. Will gladly post my impressions. my gear is in flux right now. But when the new speaker show up; ... 
Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ??
Funny you mention that. about a week ago I tried to used my older 15 dollar iron to resize a power strip for my cordless tool charging station...first time trying to solder something in the past year. Absolute garbage piece of crap. So I finally d... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
Its definitely a curious thing about these tweeters. Really really want to pull the trigger on a set of Ufs these days, but ultimately I think I may have to "settle" for the Encores based on size.  I literally have carboard boxes sitting on top of...

The gold lion Kt77 aren't terribly expensive at around $50. Definitely sparking my interest given how they are being described. The SE EL34 tubes are 3x as expensive for their top offering @ $150 a piece. Yikes. $1200 to roll some tubes is more th...
