    Re: GR Research Line Force speakers

    I replaced the woofer towers with a new set painted to match my Line Forces. These new towers have four 12" servo drivers per tower. Each tower is driven by a Rythmik HX800 amp, which has two 400W...

    Yes, I suspect it will take another 2-300 hours. But they are already sounding superb.

    GR Research Line Force speakers

    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...

    Re: DIY 300B SET Monoblocks

    Thanks guys. I didn't take any precise measurements but did look at the output on an inexpensive scope. Into an 8ohm resistor load, I started to see noticeable waveform asymmetry and clipping around...

    Re: DIY 300B SET Monoblocks

    Thanks guys. All in, I'd estimate about $12K for the pair, not including the $3K I'm about to spend on a set of premium 300Bs. A bit over $5K of that was in all the custom machined enclosure panels. ...

    New Preamp

    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...

    Re: Help with explanation of power figures

    The power specifications of the Hypex class D amplifier modules into low impedance loads are limited by thermal capacity, not maximum current. Both the NC500 and NC1200 do have current limiters, but...

    I think my first real high end system was in the early 80s.
