Re: DIYowa 2009 is in the books
I would pretty much ditto Dan's observation that this was the most enjoyable DIY Iowa yet. And Scott's observations on the event generally.. I was there at the original, whenever that was in the dark mists of the past, and each year since. Don't plan on missing any.
I would love to have had a few hours with the Mavericks. Wow.
Dan also noted my lament that I had overworked the Zirans. The component count on my final XO rivals the national debt. KISS.
Time for some abracadabra.
I've concluded that no amount of torture is going to make the DQ25 more than a good $13 tweeter. Several tweeters can outperform it for a few dollars more.
So, out with the DQ25's, in with XT25SC90's. They fit the cutout! and should suit my taste for fabric tweeters a bit better...... XO parts count is about half..... I may have my DIY 2010 done by Sunday.
Where is the sign up list Doug?

Maynard's Ziran design was also very well done. After listening to the Matrix and Marcatos, one could notice that the low-level resolution wasn't at the same level - but the Ziran was eminently smooth and easy to listen to. Like Shawn, I felt that the design didn't quite have the same magic that the Tzu-Jan conjured last year.
