Jean-Francois
Lessard talked to many DIY compatriots about MagneQuest iron applications
since we posted his excellent 2A3 Cobalt Horus & 2A3 SETH PP
amps in the MQ DIY stable. He was beginning to wonder if he should
answer with "MagneQuest DIY Hot Line!" The Dr. of the
Great North now CAN! Welcome Pantheon
Audio, home of the Jeff Lessard MQ Connection, now our latest
addition to the MagneQuest distributor juggernaut. Pantheon is a
full-line distributor and Jeff has hands-on experience with our
Parafeed, air-gapped, PP, and choke iron! Drop by his new
site. |

THIS MONTH? Will the
2A3 SETH S-240 Push-Pull Monos
DIY PROJECT from Dr. Lessard ever arrive?
Jean-Francois Lessard might
be the Dr. of Procrastination but some things can't be helped.
After running into some road blocks, resulting in the words, "this
sounds like two aluminum cans joined with a piece of 6 ounce test
fishing line", JFL has managed to put together something altogether
different, yet even more simple. In fact, almost scary simple. In
the words of Dr. Lessard, "I ruined two full copper mounting
plates but it was worth it." Does it sound like a Horus on
steroids?
Stay tuned...

Audio's new Signature 45
Gordon stated it simple:
This is the BEST amplifier I have ever built. This new stereo amp
will only be produced in a one year run - With a tuned chassis,
MONSTER Parafeed chokes, Silver-Cobalt MQ outputs and other custom
offerings, the Signature 45 amp stands apart from the SET clones.

Here you are once again,
stuck on the computer, staring at the screen. And the sound? Yep.
Canned. Harsh. Tiny. Well, Gordon Rankin got to thinking it's time
for a change. With computer music downloads at an all-time high,
the time has come: Cosecant

Duetto / MagneQuest
Just how good is the
Duetto?
I've seriously only wanted
to own three really extravagant things in my entire life; a house
on a hill overlooking the Old City in Jerusalem, a Chagall painting,
and a legitimately high-end piece of gear so superior to its peers
that I would never part with it for any reason.... I'm one third
of the way there.
- Ian White from Enjoy the Music
