...which is why iKobo was used of course. I must be getting slow in my old age. Well, I did set up an iKobo account to send the funds in the first place so that could be used instead I expect.

Martin's right I'm afraid Dirk, it's a matter of trust. Although I understand you being upset that people might think badly of you, or wonder if you're telling the truth, you have to bear in mind how things look from our POV. I'm sure everyone in the GB would like to assume the best, but sadly we can't afford to do that uncritically given the reality of the last few months. I do wish you all the best with the fallout from your divorce and hope this GB can be wrapped up soon to everyones satisfaction.

It is about time that I give you an update on the GB. My apologies, but I have been very busy at work. It looks like I will be able to get the funds toghether shortly and then I will resolve this issue as promised. I am still working on the list. It is taking a little longer than anticipated to get all the info. I will post the list shortly, however and then everyone must please check their relavent info. I am not going to vanish and I am not going to hide. I have not been secretive about my wherabouts at all, and everyone by now knows where to find me.

Regards

Dirk

Paypal fees are much lower than a bank issued cheque (and buying at the bank's rate AND registered mail), may I suggest registering now so that you can unlock your account? Also the transfer is instantaneous.

The Bank issued cheques might be an option for those who don't have paypal, bit personally I recon Paypal is much simpler/safer.

Sorry Martin, I probably could've made it more obvious it was me! By all means email me or post the the Circle- I enjoyed the Martin/ Jack axis advocating the high-power, high efficiancy approach to speakers and amps and causing a few arguements!
All the best,
John.

Ahh, what would the world be without Savage toasters running amok in the southern suburbs?

>89dB sensitive LS 3/5s, merrits of phase response beyond 17kHz, hearing Murray and the like wax lyrical about the latest phono stage, and much more....I miss those days (The world isn't safe from large horns yet though)

As soon as I have sexed up the beast it will get its glamour shots for all Circlers to see.

Hi there Irwin

I will update your info.

I have not heard from most of the GB members. Please either post your comments here or use my new e-mail address: dirk2006"at"webmail.co.za The e-mail is working as I have received and replied to some e-mails. I am going to investigate using Paypal as the preferred option. I know there have been some issues in the past with PP in South Africa.

Please contact me with all relevant details so that I can get this matter sorted out quickly.

Regards

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Sorry for your problems. Unfortunately this project has fallen off the radar screen for me, so I would like a refund eventually. Paypal is best.

BTW folks I was wondering, IKOBO wanted me to fax a photocopy of my passport or birth certificate to sign up so I didn't. Funds transfers from the US proved almost impossible by normal methods, Western Union, my bank, and the Post Office would not transfer money to SA. Is scamming that bad?

I don't know yet Lee. As you probably know, there's two flavours of Fountek, the JP series and the Neo series. According to measurements on Troels Gravesen's site the JP3 seems to be virtually identical to the Aurum Cantus G2si and uses the same kind of corrugated aluminium foil diaphram. The Neo CD3 tweeters that I bought from Madisound use a flat 'sandwich' diaphram that Fountek don't seem to expand on in their literature beyond saying that it uses a reinforcing layer, or some such. The mass of the Neo ribbon is about twice that of the JP3 or the G2si. See http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/TJL_2W.htm#The NeoCD3 version Apart from making the diaphram more robust, it probably reduces distortion by providing some damping of diaphram resonances. Measurements on Zaph Audio of the larger Neo CD2 http://www.zaphaudio.com/nondomes/ would seem to suport this. Sometime in the next few weeks I'll get around to finishing my Selah SA-1 kits and we'll see how the Neo 3 does.
