Veracity of the
month...
— every so often this page will highlight a
truly unique
"Special Edition" Veracity project...
July # 2
 I know I already posted the July Veracity of the Month pictures and
I have previously posted pictures of HT3's done in bubinga. But this was such a
special project, I thought it deserved a listing in this section.
Rob Curtis' HT3's
Rob had seen the HT3's I did a few months back for Kris
Olson. He wanted the same waterfall bubinga veneer, but wanted in it a
hand-rubbed, high-gloss piano lacquer finish. But that wasn't the only thing he
wanted upgraded.
Rob added the following upgrades to his request list:
- Custom Ridge Street Audio "Poiema" internal wiring
- Sonicap upgrades to the midrange and tweeter
crossovers
- Sonicap "Platinum" teflon caps to bypass all caps in
the midrange and tweeter circuits
- Cardas "Patented" binding posts
- Blackhole 5 in the woofer section of the cabinet
Needless to say, these are the most marvelous sounding
speakers I have done to date. I have no idea what I would do to improve them.
They are the most transparent speakers I have heard. All you hear is the
music.

what's next?
Well, we have a whole bunch of interesting new woods and
veneers - enough to keep us busy for the next few months. Macassar ebony,
Mexican cocobolo, bock mottled makore, burled English oak and others to name a
few. Should be some good times ahead!
Stay tuned...
