The pre is moving right along, the boards are mounted and the parts are arriving. Boy this business of aquiring parts from ten different parts houses stinks. I don't want to order at different times because then you pay shipping twice, but some people come back to you with a no item sheet then you gotta re-order. PITA. What does everyone do about this? BTW the tube xover board from Steve is real nice, slow going on the Pi 4 xover's though.

Oh, I know what you mean. I hate ordering from more than one or two vendors. Purchasing guys do it all the time, juggling multiple vendors to get the best prices. But I like to place one order for the whole deal if I can.

Just out of curiosity, what's making slow going on the π crossover? It's just a few more parts than the Bench crossover and they're common values. Is it because of vendor troubles?

No The Bench xover is the one I have, I just need the time to go into the Speakers and complete the power supply for the xover. Maybe too many things at once? I want to set up a bi-amp SS system and a Tube based system and compare . There is a meeting of the Audio club here in 2 weeks. I want to try to exhibit the 4's. I want to place them in the ALL TIME BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK division. Love those big guys! Hope I can get them ready; it's a long shot but if not, then next time. I started going to meeting's after a long layover, comparing equipment gets old after awhile. And I don't care for that elevator jazz everyone seems to crave. I would rather listen to Johnny Rotten. Or Sid Viscious. Something with SOUL. COJONES. J.R.
