Review: Hyperion HPS-938
Dracule1, have you received your replacement Hyperions? 
Egglestone Andra 1 tweeter "crossover"
Jeffreybehr, I must commend you on your posts. You have been able to offer very good advice, and to the point.That being said, I have been around this speaker enough to know that the treble is not bright. In my opinion, while I do agree with paddi... 
Best $4000-$5000 loudspeaker
I think that if you can swing a pair of used Merlin VSM or Coincident Total Eclipses, you really will be hard pressed to beat them.On the new front, you may want to wait for the word to come out about the new $5000 Fried Studio VII at CES 2005 in ... 
Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Interconnects
I own the Musical Fidelity NuVista interconnects.The Nu Vista cable line uses OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) wire, silver for the interconnects and copper for the speaker cable.It works well with my Sony SCD-C333ES player, which is one the dark, rich,... 
Crossovers
If you want a definitive opinion from me as to crossovers, I will tell you that first order are my favorite. Like most things in life, simple things, using the best ingredients often produce the best result. Further, series, as opposed to parralel... 
6550 to KT88
I have both the JJ KT88 and Ei KT90 tubes in my home. While I prefer both to the 6550 tube, it depends on what your priorities are as to whether you should again make the jump. The KT90 will take you back in the sonic direction of the 6550. More d... 
Crossovers
Another thing I like to relay in layman's terms is that the order of the crossover more or less correlates to how much power one will need to drive the speaker. Think of them as hurdles on a runner's track. The more obstacles one has to hurdle, th... 
Crossovers
In simple terms, first order is the simplest and things become more complex as you the order number increases.You can say roughly that the order number relates to the number of major components in line (series) with each driver. A first order has ... 
DIY Foam Surround Replacement?
I know very much about this kind of request.My advice is that you are at all serious about the sound, just send the drivers to Bill LeGall at Millersound. Yes, they will cost $50 or $60, which is more than what you can do yourself for $30. But, I ... 
How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Gunbei, I love your maceball and porcupine heatsink idea.Anyone ever try a switcth to lift the ground on their amplifier to keep the cats off? 
break in quicksiver v4`s
Perfect advice, Newbee! No one will be able to add to it, try as they might. 
Aging of capacitors within crossover networks
From personal experience, I recommend that drivers need new suspensions after 6 or 7 years. Despite their looking fine, I was shocked to find mine COMPLETELY deteriorated. The improvement in sonics via slam, immediacy, bass, and naturalness was as... 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Domo, apart from the Transmission Line, PMC bears little relations to IMF.The other facets of Bud's speaker design philosophy are not implemented in the PMC speakers: series crossovers using slow slopes, low Qts drivers, accuracy of phase and time... 
Review: Hyperion HPS-938
Let me just say that I have no problem with Albert Wu. At all. There are those in this thread who are becoming quite defensive about me raising the issue of not being able to get into contact with Hyperion regarding purchasing a few speakers for s... 
Review: Hyperion HPS-938
One thing I need to impress upon people is that ANY new company that requires its customers to chase after them is not providing good customer service by any stretch of the imagination. This cannot even be argued.Give Albert a break, he is startin...
