    Perhaps things are a bit out of control. I was hoping for suggestions about my wiring concept, not open warfare....

    Hi Roger,

    Well , I gave you very speciific and detailed instructions on internal wire in this thread, and it was my very best information, and precisely what I do for myself. i didn't hold back.

    I am having a HUGE task of position optimizing my 825 enclosures, in the corners of my listening room ( 13 by 18 by 9 feet ), over the next two days. Each 825 has about 400 pounds of patio concrete stepping stones on top, 16 pounds each, and I gotta take em ALL on and off, for each distance change, to position each 825 enclosure by ear, incrementally, in the room.

    They are coupling to the rear wall, and maybe the side walls, too much, too close......... as it stands / sounds to me today. I knew "this day", ( in the A7 set up ), would come.

    Its now. Ugh !!

    Hi Old Guy,

    So, you built something in 1963. In 1961 I helped my DAD build a Dyna Kit PAS-2 and ST-70, but it wasn't until 1982, when I got to design and build my first DHT amp, P-P-P 6B4Gs, on SIX chassis, 400 pounds.

    YOU STATED ABOVE :

    " You've talked about $20,000 amps here, which doesn't sound like a budget basis, and you repeat the claims of the builders. Guess what, Jeff. Those builders have an agenda- selling twenty thousand dollar amps."


    YES, the 20K amps ARE the best out there, in more than one person's opinion. We should be able to single them out up here, without ruffling feathers, for people to KNOW OF, and if you have the money, they are an excellent long-term solution.

    What you FAILED to acknowledge is that I clearly suggested to ALL.....the Jelasi and Marzio amp building article, gave the URL. I also offered improvements, and offered to help ANY interested DIYer gratis, to build something for himself.

    It would just be the cost of parts, to own and use ( IMHO, IME ) a world-class sounding amplifier on ALTECS.

    So, there are two sides to this coin, Old Guy.

    Regards,


    Jeff
