Very Nice looking Xover!
I have been hearing a lot about Mini DSP's lately. How has it worked out for you?
Which Teres forum was that? I do have a Teres 255 Rosewood base table with the Lead shot acrylic platter. It has an ET-2 tonearm and Shelter 901 cartridge.

Hi Cougar,
Thanks!. I had been using the mini DSP for about a year now. It sounds fine to me but very hard to compare with traditional discrete circuits as the type of amp being use plays a big role to the sound of the HF and LF. With a type 2A3/45 amp on the top, and a type 300B for the LF using mini dsp 4th order, I find it fast, detailed and with a stout bass. The clarity of the vocals can be a blessing and a curse sometimes.
One thing I will recommend for you to try is to use copper plated silver on the HF or pure silver if budget is not a consideration if you are using speaker level XO. I have use it on Zilch, Markwarts, and other XO including OB arrangement and it made a difference for me.
Yes, you are the "Cougar" I remember from Audiogon. I too have a 255 in Rosewood using heavily modified OL Silver(Leadshot and Stabilizer tweaks from Thomas Lyons or TWL)).

Silver plated OFC copper interconnects and did like it at all. It sounds good at first good upper end with good bass then after after 50 hours it chances for the worst and never comes back to the first sonics I had when I first hook it up. I have never tried it of speaker cables or anything in the speaker chain. I still do have some of that Alpha Core Silver platted OFC 28 gauge wire that I can braid into some hook wire and try it out.
So far that Zilch Xover is sounding better and better as it breaks in.
Audiogon, was a long time ago! :)
BTW, tell me about that stabilizer you mentioned. Is that a Record stabilizer?
One thing that has worked best for me with my Teres is using unwaxed floss. Anything else I used had a slight edge to the sound. The Floss has been the best for me so far. I'm really happy with the sound of my Teres so far and don't have a need or want to chance. It's a good fit with my Tube gear. I just worry that if I ever need replacement parts Teres Audio will not be able to help now. So much for the lifetime warranty!
Hi,
Yes, Silver interconnects did not work for me either. So far, speaker cables with Silver plated copper sounds fine.No, not a record stabilizer. I still use the Teres Rosewood record clamp though. I was talking about the mod for the Origin Live RB250. See pics below. The lead weight on the first pic and with additional "stabilizer" made of wire on the 2nd pic. yes, Audiogon was ages ago, in an audio world of different dimension.
Regards!
