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 [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: A Stereo Pair for Sunday

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 [...]

The Duelund-WRSE Project: Breadboarding with Pete & Stephaen

I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday than eating wood-fired pizza, drinking some nice Italian & Argentinian wines, and laughing & talking with Pete Riggle and Stephaen Harrell while breadboarding the Duelund-WRSE crossovers. We started with a full set of the Duelund CAST components for the crossover. (seen below sitting on [...]
