    han_n our setup of the Pendragons looks quite similar from pictures and previously my favorite Q setting was "1" but now I am fixed on "3" . This has come about after concentrating on getting the exact distances of the ribbon tower and woofer tower distances from the listening position the...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Hi LL21 I came across Goebel when I was living overseas . It was recommended and used in quite a few of the systems I heard and liked on my travels. I used to run all Nordost Valhalla and then looked for a change. Tried various Gryphon cables, Transparent Audio ,Siltech and a few others ...I...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Hi Ron The device is not a measurement device but rather puts laser grid-lines through my room which I can reference to. I tried to take a picture of the grid-lines but had no luck. I will try again. The device is a Bosch GLL 3 80 P ...I have found it very useful. The spikes have been a...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Pretty sure you may have this but see attached details for the RD75. Much admiration for the DIY setup I am sure it is very impressive. I have never taken the felt dust covers off but may have to give it a try. Yes it is a shame B&G are no longer making drivers ...I suspect it may have been a...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Hi PKN as another Pendragon owner (picture above from Bruce D is my setup from a while ago) do you mind if I post some thoughts and experimentation I have done over the years? Not a lot of owners I know of so I guess this would be the Pendragon owners thread . Hopefully we can swap ideas and...

    MSB Select II arrival

    I did try the DXD setting initially ...both the Select II and Vivaldi were locking on to the signal but when I switched back from a comparison I could not get the MSB to lock again. I am very familair with the DXD setting though.....please take my comments about being muddier in context ....it...

    MSB Select II arrival

    Hi Astrostar59 I tried the normal 44.1 on comparing to the Select but the 2x DSD is one of my favorite settings for my tastes so that is what I based most of my listening/comparison around. I really appreciate the plethora of settings the Vivaldi offers and have honed them to what I prefer...
