Ralph - thanks for your comments and wisdom. I will try the changes you suggested when I open it up again.

Thanks. Yes, the NEO3s are connected four in series, and the four groups in parallel. The NEO10s are two groups of three in series. Sensitivity increases by 3db each time you double the number of drivers. Thanks. The speakers sound fabulous - by far the best I've owned. I've heard a few...

Those look pretty cool. Are those AMT tweeters? Each of my speakers has six Bohlender-Graebener NEO10s and sixteen NEO3s. The line arrays are fairly sensitive at 98db/w, and these are currently driven by my 300B SET amps. The woofer towers are using Rythmik 12"" servo drivers with paper...

Thanks @brad225. I've posted some photos previously. Here's a link to a post of my 300B amps. Here's a couple photos of my speakers. And here are a couple photos of a pair of stereo class A amps I recently finished. These utilize the F5M circuit that Nelson Pass presented at Burning...

Thanks guys.

I recently finished building another DIY line stage and thought some of you might find it interesting. More info below the photos. I started this project a few years ago, but I ended up building five different tube-based designs for the main line stage circuit. Some of the earlier builds...

I thought I'd share my latest DIY speaker project. In this case, there wasn't a ton of DIY work. I had the cabinets made for me, so just had to install the drivers, build the crossovers, and wire everything up. I included some background in case you are interested. I built a pair of GR-Research...

Since some of you seemed to enjoy my DIY preamp posts, I thought I'd create a post about my latest project. This is my first tube project so I started with a kit, but I made many embellishments to the basic design. My amps are based on the Interchange monoblock AudioNote Kit This is a...

I posted last year about a DIY preamp I build using a Khozmo attenuator. I was really pleased with the SQ of that preamp which was a nice improvement over the Parasound JC-2 I had been using. I've really been enjoying building my own gear over the past couple years, so I thought I'd see if I...

I have a denafrips gaia on the way to use with my Terminator DAC and I'd like to connect it using I2S since I've heard that this is the best sounding method. Any recommendations on a good sounding HDMI cable? I'm considering the AQ Firebird 48 which is fairly pricey and is probably the maximum...

With the recent discussions about the Hattor preamps, I thought I'd post some photos of a handbuilt preamp I recently completely which uses a relay-based input selector and shunt attenuator from Khozmo. I'm using a fully balanced attenuator (four channels of attenuation for stereo), which then...

I have a photo-voltaic solar system on my roof that is connected to my electrical system through an inverter. I do not have any kind of battery storage or any way to disconnect the solar system from my power. I've noticed that my system sound cleaner in the evening and assumed that this was due...

I have a simple headphone system in my office at work with a pair of Audeze LCD-2 headphones connected to my PC through a USB-connected ALO Pan-Am headphone amp/dac. The sound of most recordings is pretty stunning, and even recordings that are less-than-stellar sound very good. What does it...

I'm considering replacing my Monster HTPC 7000 with one of these. I'm currently connecting my streamer, dac and preamp to the HTPC 7000, which is what I would do with the regenerator. My power amps and speakers are plugged into dedicated 20A circuits (one for each channel). Anyone have...

I came across DH Labs when I was looking for good quality bulk cable to build some DIY power and speaker cables. I ended up building power cables for all my components using DH Labs Power Plus cable and a mix of different connectors ranging from generic "audio quality" pure copper connectors to...
