    TAD 2002 vs 4003

    I intend on using the TL-1601b driver crossed at around 800hz. The horn is Joseph Crowe's improved Altec 15 cell (https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/636696466074862086/). Perhaps I will ask the dealer instead if I can leave a bond/deposit and trial a few drivers ahead of settling on a pair. I know...

    TAD 2002 vs 4003

    Does anyone have experience with the TD-2002 and TD-4003? Can anyone suggest why you would take a TD-2002 over a TD-4003? I would like to include one in my new two-way build covering everything north of 800hz.

    DIY 33" Subwoofer

    Yes, I thought it could be cool, too, and well concealed. Thanks for sharing both the links, they were very helpful. What would be the designer-intended use case, or any good case, for such large subwoofers typically? Is there benefit to placing subwoofers in the nearfield so as to offset...

    New to Vinyl - A lot of questions

    Thank you for your response, the Analog Planet reviews are already very helpful. It will be challenging for me still to rationalise a TT at $2,000, $6,000 or $10,000. I understand more expensive is usually better, but in analog, despite attempts to be objective by the reviewers, I can't find...

    New to Vinyl - A lot of questions

    Hello, I am new to vinyl and have a number of questions that, despite many YouTube videos and thread reading, I can't really find conclusive answers. I'm not sure yet if vinyl is for me, and could go vinyl or digital. In any case, I am looking for a physical, piece of furniture to add to the...
