Kevin: Are there any decent subs for the 2sj79 and 2sk216 parts? I'm assuming the benefit of these parts are the low capacitances? Are the lower voltage versions possible substitutes? Any subs that use the higher rated case like the 2sa1968 to avoid heat sinking these parts, perhaps 2SJ313 and 2SK2013? I guess I don't really have a good reason for asking these questions, just curious...

I've always wondered why these people can "sell" amb's stuff personally, as he has a very similar disclaimer on his website about for personal use only, no commercial-use, etc..

Dusty Chalk: I consider a truly balanced output to be a floating output without a common ground. I'm not sure what others think, but this is my definition at least

just got back with the Muse player guy showed up and everything. Definitely the heaviest digital source I've owned...

10?

Tyrion: what he said

I don't get it, I recommended the Sorny and Panaphonics in the other thread (oblique Simpson's reference)

Spritzer have you seen the "Staks" stands? Similar to the Sorny and Panaphonics products

It's a Schroder Reference tonearm

I've heard the Stelvio and it sounds impressive. I would have chosen the Teres as well, due to their DIY roots

yummy Teres table Interested in a Whest phono stage to go along with it?

those Classic Record releases look awesome. Everest is a label that I don't really have much coverage on in vinyl, so this will be perfect. I'll take the Ravel off your hands I suppose. I'm going to head on down to Waterloo Records this afternoon and see if they have any of these in stock

reminds me of some of the trannys that Papa Pass brought to Burning Amp:

maybe this mod would help the predator measure better:

don't jinx me man... I'm headed down half way to Houston to pick up my new toy on Thursday: So, Dusty Chalk I may need your research skills, but it looks like I need those DAD discs you were talking about to use with this guy. What about the smaller European labels, any of them make these DVD-V discs? Know you know the exact player, perhaps you can advise better...

I'm itching to post here, but the seller of my (potential) new toy is a fracking jet-setter.... Who posts an item on Audiogon and that day leaves on a business trip?

I thought Tomahawk's had -1 gain ....

it's a silver wrapped teflon tube configuration

I don't think you're going to do a whole lot better in your target price range personally, and I love rolling in new caps

so, from what I can gather they sound like $40 speakers from Best Buy. j/k, I'll try and help as much as I can... I see that there are a few incarnations of these crossovers out there as well.

hm, tough to follow from the pics. It does look at the negative for the tweeter is not wired properly though, as it's going to the cap, where it should be just connected to the coil. I'm assuming you unwound the stock coil per the instructions? I'd just wire up one driver and use a sweep tone to listen to it. Then disconnect the driver and isolate the second and try the sweep tone. If a specific frequnency range sound bad, note that. It's possible you've already fried the driver too I suppose. Do you have any idea who made the coaxial driver and if there's a datasheet somewhere? I suppose you have no way of comparing to the original driver since you've unwound one of the coils ... what do you mean by sounds "bad", by the way... If you've had someone verify that the crossover is okay, then really you only have a few options. Incorrect wiring or a bad driver ... or bad ears I suppose

can I get a picture and schematic of the crossover?

thanks. this has been immensely helpful. Hold that thought
