Brf, When the picture was taken he was around 8 weeks old.
He's now about 1 1/2 years old.

Sorry for the slight thread derail, but is your Westy a pup?

The Dog is a White West Highland Terrier. I named him Westy.

Hi Ozzy,
Curious to see your comparison of the new Neo with OCC copper vs. the OFC version you've written about.
Thank you,
Harvey (in Los Angeles)

Krell man, no I haven't heard of the QK1, I'll look it up. thanks.

Acurus, Thanks, I'll keep you in mind. What is the name of your dealership?

ozzy

Hi Ozzy,

I didn't realize I inadvertently made a sale for Reno but if u have not purchased your new x350.8 I would love to work with you. I have been a Pass dealer since 2003.

Best and happy listening

Ozzy,

I see you have some Nordost QV2s, have you tried the QK1? It works well too.

Ozzy,

Love the watch dog image.

Shirley, you don't mean Audio Magic...

Interesting...
The Audio Magic has a crystal in them. But, mine thus far don't.
I made mine out of 1/8" copper caps with a cone shaped copper insert glued inside.

ozzy

Wow Ozzy those bells like nice, polished copper?

The need fair bit of machining to get the bell shape. Any instructions on making them, i.e tools needed

FWIW, the HFT's may have some magic dust aka crystal bits in them behind the mesh. Not asking you to take one apart, but my daughter was playing the the HFTs and bluetack filling the concave area of the HFT.

I pull the tack out and saw which i think was a fine speck of a crystal like dot stuck on the tack.

System edited: Check out my new DIY HFT- Bell. Pretty easy to make for a few bucks. Sounds better than the HFT version.

Mikeg,

Not sure if I have 40.
I have the fuse chips on all of my fuses.
I have several Power chips on my circuit breaker box and a few other places.
And I also have the speaker chips and some cap chips on my PS Audio P10.

ozzy

Oozy,

Do you still have 40 WA Quantum Chips in your system?

Thanks

Albertporter, I own the Eggleston Andra 2's not the Focals.

Sorry, occupied with holiday guests and not paying attention.

My offer still stands if I get blessing from Stillpoints. I think Ultra 5 is solid stainless steel and no harm would come by drilling and threading.

I don't like the adaptors for my application, the difference between 14MM and 1/4-20 is too great. For your 3/8"-16, Tbg (Norm) is probably correct and you would retain resale value if you needed to move them later.

Tbg, the 3/8"-16 is what my speaker uses. I thought it would be better to just have a straight same size threaded stud from speakers through the Stillpoints. That is if the Stillpoints could be threaded to accept the 3/8"-16 thread.

I would have to drill additional hole into the Andras to accept the new 1/4" inserts. That would place them slightly away from the outer edges.

ozzy

Ozzy, I cannot imagine that a 3/8" 16 would be any better than a 1/4" 20. I do know that four SP Ultra Five under speakers and amps are superior to three.

tbg

Ozzy, I have not visited the machine shop yet. Met this fellow at a party and he told me about his work and gave me a verbal estimate.

I wanted to speak with Stillpoints at CES before proceeding, hopefully they will give their blessings.

Interesting your Focal are 3/8-16 when mine are 14MM, they are so similar in size and design.

albertporter

Owner
Albertporter, Thank you so much for the offer.
My speakers use a 3/8"-16 thread. If you could tap the Stillpoints to be able to use the 3/8"-16 thread that would be great!

ozzy

Ozzy, are your speakers 14MM like my Focal?

Assume you must get from 14MM to 1/4-20 for the Stillpoints. I have a shop that will drill and tap the Stillpoints for about $100.00 allowing the full size 14MM rod from Focal to be used as intended.
