So thank's again to Dave and Ruth for putting us up ( or is that putting up with us?) and feeding the crew while we got to listen our hearts out. I only wish they could have done something about the rain overnight. Interupted an otherwise beautiful night's sleep.

Back to speakers, I've never heard so many different systems using the same driver in my life. We already knew it was a winner but this showed us how versitle that little thing is.

Now, when are we gonna have one of these with some real speakers?

extremis 3-way. This 7" driver can produce bass. Too much IMHO (working in the kitchen, some of the waves were making me somewhat nauseous -- and we had no amps with more than 35 watts. I'm thinking a pair in a 50 litre sealed box would be just about right.

Sorry to anyone who got a look at my pictures before I cleaned them up. Yes that really was someone mooning the camera

I won't say who but it is someone I have to look up to (hint) when I stand next to him.

Dave, thanks for the fun times. I learned a lot and the great 3D sound of Chris's Jolida jd603 CD player is still floating around in my head. Thanks guys for letting Jason and I swap in and out so many different combinations of things. Like a couple of kids in a candy store.

I didn't get to hear all the speakers, but what I did was great. Well done guys. I will be wanting to try a pair at home soon, but first I have to get that 3D sound of the Jolida CD player coming from my USB DAC. I think a tube stage is required.

How did my DAC do? Well it didn't get much air time but I was told it sounded good jitter and tone wise but the sound stage was flat and I have to agree. I don't feel so bad because there was also a $20,000+ Linn CD player that got even less air time because the Jolida was so good. The Linn was on loan from a local shop, the fact that no one owns it says a lot.

Anyone else who heard my DAC have anything to say about it? Good or Bad. Any suggestions on what to try to close the gap on the Jolida?
