Thanks for the help, Grainger.  I truly appreciate your help.

At this point, I don't think I'll be able to find the problem/solution.  I'm doing more harm than good taking things apart/putting them back together.  I'll be visiting off line with Doc about what to do next...

Best,
John

That's great, Doc!  I'm a bit embarrassed but after my third demo, parts are starting to wear out and I just want to get it going.

The fine folks at BH Headquarters got my problem mono block up and running in no time flat!  

Thanks so much and I'm really excited to get them in the system and burned in...they sounded great right off the bat, just more clarity in the midrange and the upper end sounds so natural and real...the changes were noticeable right away.

Thanks again to the Bottlehead Team!

Best,

Happy to hear it John, that is one KICK A$$ system you have put together.  Look out, the next time I am in your area I am looking you up, have to hear this beast of a system!

Best,

Wow, John and Ed making a rare appearance!

Hope you guys are doing well -- we just moved (or more accurately, are in the process of unpacking) so things are a bit crazy here.

Greg, sounds like you are having WAY too much fun with that Quickie build! 

Ed, thank you so much for the kind words.  The BH Paramounts/HA Reference combo has me in music heaven!  You are always welcome to come by next time you are in the Austin/San Antonio area!

Jim, congratulations on the move...how exciting is that?  Sure it is a ton of work but the new place will be so nice for you and the Mrs...

Best,
John

The quickie build is getting a little weird. Just cuz I made some changes that I can't verify until the switch is thrown. Then there is the box. Yup, couldn't help myself, and now I'm up to my ass in compound angles. Pray for me.
