C Quenzer are special drivers, IMO. Not as efficient as PHL, but they just do something very right. There 8" version crossed to a TL labs tweeter in a waveguide will probably be my next step. Look at TL labs frequency response and distortion.
If any wants to hear the TSSA V1.7 you can write me an email and we will arrange an listening session. I can do a demo on Raidho C1.1.
Migo and his college (Kado Sound) did have there own build of this amp with them on the HIFI surround in Copenhagen last month.
They are skilled speaker designers and they use AMT's in there speaker. They also makes there own cables, and the cables are "affordable" . If anyone is interested i think they should ask Migo if he want's to do demo on his speakers. you will not be disappointed.
The Speaker Migo makes is not as sensitive (SPL /1 watt) as the one Buzzforb or salas have but they are better than the Raidho.
The TSSA V1.7 is actually more than satisfying for most customers regarding sound pressure. Anything above 86dB/1 watt is really a good match.

Hi all.
I need help with my work schedule:
Position 1 to 3 is ok
1) Test Audiopower SMPS DPS400/S2 with TSSA V1.7
2) Finish TSSA V4 and V8 before end of this month.
3) Finish my new chassis.
The rest i cannot determine which to do first.
4) Preamp section for TSSA V1.7 with remote control based on good opamps.
5) Discrete preamp also with remote control.
6) RIAA
7) USB DAC
Any wishes? .... it is after all wish-time.

Hi Sonnya,
I would prioritize as follow
2) Preamp section for TSSA V1.7 with remote control based on good opamps.
1) Discrete preamp also with remote control.
4) RIAA
3) USB DAC
Will the discrete preamp be fully balanced with possibility to have RCA input?
Thanks
Do

If the RIAA is a phono stage then i'd absolutely love one!
I'm using active crossovers so there's no need for more op-amps. 🙂

OK. So here the list is:
1) Discrete Preamp with remote control interface
2) RIAA PHONO stage - discrete frontend, discrete opamp stage.
3) Preamp based on opamps (Makes the TSSA V1.7 a fine integrated amp)
4) USB DAC.

Just the RIAA performance that i am working on.
Deviation from the RIAA curve is from 50 Hz and up only delta 0.16dB 🙂
The phono stage will use claritycap MR and ESA series capacitors.

You should try the standard Mundorf Supremes instead of the claritycap MR, they are much more resonable. Iv'e also had good results with the Audyn Plus for a budget build.
For RIAA filters, I have always defaulted to Auricap XO. This is in comparison to obbligato gold, relcap RT, and mkp1837. There is just something about them I like. Need to try MR. Did not like SA. SA was only tried in AC coupling position

I would vote for USB DAC, which could use discrete preamp as output stage. This would make project nicely modular, as people could buy only USB DAC, preamp or both. 😎
For the preamp designs i will use my jfet discrete opamp i designed In april 2013. It is still State of art regarding size and Performance
The match the layout of dip8 single opamps.

It is a very Compact design you have made ... How do you Think the audiopower DPS-400/S2 works with the TSSA V1.7?
What pefect fit Damuffin... I see you use a large number of caps in the power supply with the Smps, is this needed with a Smps? I am also curious how it sounds.
