10-Year Anniversary Writing About Hi-Fi!

Today I added a Review Archives page to Jeff’s Place in the top navigation bar as a resource for finding different articles I had written over the years. As I was putting together a list of links for the article archive I realized that it’s my 10 Year Anniversary writing about Hi-Fi! I started writing about Hi-Fi [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: Peavey Color Coded Microphone Tape

I just wanted to let you know about something handy I’ve run across: Peavey color coded microphone ID tape. The Peavey color coded microphone ID tape includes eight rolls of tape in different colors: yellow, blue, red, orange, brown, green, white, and silver. While the intention of the Peavey tape is to identify various stage [...]

The Duelund Westminster Royal SE Project: A Few Listening Notes & Next Steps

I’ve been listening to the breadboarded versions of the Duelund crossovers on the Westminster Royal SE’s this week, in the evenings after I got home from the office, and man, what a revelation! I decided to take today off and get some more work done on Duelund-WRSE Project.  Before getting started on what I need to [...]

Siedy Checking in from The Netherlands: The Sablon Audio Panatela, Gran Corona, and Petit Corona

If you’ve been following along you know that Siedy (photo below) has been a true inspiration for yours truly. If it wasn’t for Siedy I would never have had the opportunity to try the superb ASR electronics that are hand-crafted by Friedrich Schaefer in Herborn, Germany. It was a wonderful experience writing about the ASR electronics [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: A Stereo Pair for Sunday

I just finished up installing the other Duelund crossover on the right Westminster Royal SE, so now I have a stereo pair up and running. Not bad progress for a weekends worth of work! I was able to improve the layout of the right channel pair of Duelund crossovers and make it quite a bit more [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: First Listening Impressions of the Duelund Crossover

I was chatting with Frederik Carøe in Denmark this morning by email while waking up with some nice hot coffee (medium roasted Kenya beans). I wanted to give Frederik an update on how things are going with the Duelund-WRSE Project, and ask Frederick for any suggestions he might have on improvements and such.   I [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: A Fine Friday with Pete & Stephaen - Updated

Stephaen sent an early morning email: “I’m going to stop at the El Fat Cat Grill taco truck and get us lunch, and I’ll meet you and Pete at your place at noon.” While the El Fat Cat Grill is actually a taco truck, referring to it as ‘taco truck’ is like referring to the [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: Duelund Coherent Audio Silver / Carbon Resistors

In the Duelund-WRSE Crossover Project we are using the Duelund Coherent Audio Silver / Carbon resistors exclusively in the circuits (seen on the far right in the photo below). Resistors are inherently simple electrical devices that are used to control the flow of current in a crossover circuit by providing a constant resistance that does [...]

It's going to be a Duelund sort of Day!

I’m up early this morning drinking coffee and listening to the Beatles’ Rubber soul LP from the new box set through the Sophia Electric 91-03 300B integrated amplifier. Particularly considering the 91-03 hasn’t even been playing for an hour, its sounding really good. Very natural, sweet, and musical. Today Pete Riggle & Stephaen Harrell (6Moons) are coming over to [...]

Today's Fresh Catch: The Sophia Electric 91-03 300B Integrated Amplifier

As most of you know, the Sophia Electric 91-01 300B mono amplifiers that I reviewed for Positive Feedback Online back in January of 2011 reignited my interest in SET amplification, because they made incredibly beautiful music with my Tannoy Westminster Royal Special Edition loudspeakers. Richard Wugang, the President of Sophia Electric, just sent me a [...]
