at the Wingate. What battle did HE lose?
With all this talk of Pi's and crossovers and 4 ohm 2226's I wonder if I should just bring myself, my Paramours and new $8 super cables?
And I now have another $400 in the kitty after the sale of my HGA Silver Lace replaced by Kevin Haskins 'Superlative' I.C.'s and my Golden Double Helix replaced by the aforementioned wonders. Which are either the bargain of all time or a major POS, can't decide.
Looks like the Audio Fest will be a major opportunity to part with the dead presidents.

Have you decided? Are you takin' your Paramours and four π Speakers? That combination is the "hot ticket" these days, and I know people would love to hear yours!

George D. (Replay Electronics) and Bill M. (bmar) will be there for sure, but they won't have Theater Series four π's. They're bringing Bill's wood horn and some Professional Series four π

Until just a few minutes ago I had reservations about taking the system to the show. Buzzing right channel and audible hum on both including that nasty 60 cycle surging thing. 103db Pi's strip you naked in front of your peers.Oh the ridicule!
I had put the snubber on the High Voltage section and replaced unshielded Silver Lace I.C.'s with shielded one's from our friend Kevin Haskins (DIYCable.com). Better.
Tonight I shunted the dual mono attenuators and while I was in there re-heated some connections on the ground plane.
Quiet and oh so clean! Pi's never sounded better.
Now I can hold my head up in Gotham City.

I'm glad you got the bugs out of your Paramours - That's a big deal. A person can feel a real sense of pride when they build a machine and it works well. I know everyone is going to be interested in your system.

Congratulations!
