Paul brought the Toriod. Those big (1.5kVA) balanced power filters usually cost thousands, but a limited number of the toroids are available from Equi Tech for $399. They have a few that were too big for their standard case and they are offering them to diy ers at this price. He used high quality ac receptacles and built in a digital filter from DIY Cable for the digital components receptacle, all implemnted as usual to his exacting standards (Luther and Paul are the perfectionists in our group).

We plan to host a diy room at the '06 GPAF, so anyone who desires can bring their favorite audio gear and show it off. We'll use the 3 Pi Theater speakers to accommodate low power SET amps. I doubt we'll get any refrigerator size horn speakers but I expect to see some cool electronic components. More about this as we get closer to the date.
