Welcome and I hope you enjoy the site. E-mail me at: Pjay

2-2009: Added three projects under the project menu.

1-2009: Wow, another year. Just collected all my show reviews and put them under on menu link. Hope you like them. I still have not completed the last two pairs of speakers, will post them when they are done.

11-2008: Well it has been a long time since I updated the site. Mostly I have been busy at work, new job needs attention and I have to pay the bills. I completed a really nice 3-way using Scan-speak woofer, Seas mid and Seas tweeter. Sounds awesome, probably since Dennis Murphy did the XO. I completed a ProAc clone rev 6.0 from the Troelsgraven site and sold them in the first 15 minutes. Darn, they sounded really good too. Mostly completed a Scan-Speak two way and a Aurum-Cantus two way. Will post pices when I get the chance. Mostly I am trying to get the site back on-line since AOL decided to suddenly kill all user sites. So now we will see how long Cox lasts. Since I actually pay cox for cable, they better not drop me. Also, went to the Montreal audio show, tres cool. I know a few of the links are dead and some pics are missing. I just don't have time right now to be comprehesive. The good text is there. Thanks!

3/2007: Pack your bags, we are headed to the Home Entertainment 2007 Show! Thanks to JA for getting us a room, Ray Kimber for supporting costs. We will be in room 1627.

Looks like we might be taking this to NY for the Home Entertainment show! Built a new 3-way with SS woofer, Seas top end. Will post pics later.

I have been adding to this one and it is some of the most interesting reading (not my writing) I have seen on Audio.
