N3 improvements...
« on: 27 Nov 2012, 12:23 pm »

Hi all Audio Circle members.
Some of you might remember their comments when I posted my latest built the GR Research N3 Guy 13 style.
I was happy with the sound (Good for me)
and I decided to improve it,
I braced the interior of the enclosure, plus, I added some polyfill stuffing.
(The fluffy stuff they use here in Vietnam to imitate the snow for Christmas decoration.)
I hooked up the N3 to my Decware SET (Model SE84-C+) 2wpc.
Of course with so little power, I had to crank up the volume control to about 75% (1.5watt),
I’ve used my 24” Signal Cable silver Interconnect,
my Signal Cable 14ga. X 10’ speaker cable
and sit 5’ from the speakers.
(Source was Rega Apollo)
A little toe in on the speakers and voila.
Even if I did not follow Danny’s design,
I was really surprised how good the speakers sounded,
of course not much bass, but still, I knew it was there.
Why I did not do it the right way the first time you will ask?
Because of very, very limited budget, the total cost for the two N3 speakers 50 USD + Danny’s N3 kit for which I paid approximately 340 USD.
Not bad for something that really sounds good.
I am surprised and to surprise me, it takes something really good. 
One day, I will do the original design and maybe get blown away. (LOL).

I forgot, to mention, I did not get the grills made,
but if I get them made it will cost me about 20 USD/pair.
For now, don’t need them, because the speakers are in my penthouse and that place is not for my wife… It’s only for me.

Hi Hank and all Audio Circle members.

My huevos are not extra large, they are of medium size,
but well protected in a pair stainless steel pants (Trousers)...
Of course my life is in my wife's hand, she my minister of finance...
(LOL)
