Hi there!
What do you think of Tannoy st-100 supertweeter? It’d be to go with an Edinburgh. It’s a real improvement? Thanks

If you like it fine, but effective results can be achieved at a fraction of the cost.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

You can make superteeters that are as good, or better, for a fraction of the cost of the Tannoy design.

Hi
Very interesting. Can you share how to make them or provide a link to an article? I do have the Taskets but not sure of the effect although I have listened carefully - would love experiment further.
Many thanks

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yep, they are ones I’m using. As you say I read they are easily damaged. I have tried them with and without and I’m not sure that I can hear a difference, hence why I would like to experiment with others. Can the bapturs be tested with a multi meter? I guess there should be a resistance reading of some description?

Thanks for your comments.
Once again there are different opinions
I guess if I want to know it I have to buy it and check it out.

To buy much cheaper supertweeters than the Tannoy version.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
