SR XOT Transducer ?

Yoby,

I am finding something similar out of the box -- cleaner but less musical. Does the "cleanness" mellow after 75 hours? Anyone with experience here?

Yoby,

I just followed the advice of a poster on another thread. I have put the XOTs inside copper sleeves. Night and day. SR should recommend this to XOT customers -- or even supply them with the XOTs. I would have given up on them without the copper sleeves.

Ozzy,

I am using an oversize copper sleeve. They are sitting on a table behind the speakers. I use copper sleeves throughout my system on IECs and ICs. But even with the copper sleeves the XOTs are a no-show in my system. This is probably because I am using so many Bybee products from amp to speakers. I am sure the XOTs work for many people who don't have a similar set-up. I will be putting my XOTs on offer soon.

Ozzy,

Glad you find the same. I have ordered smaller diameter sleeves to cover more territory. I hope they improve SQ even more.

Ozzy,

The XOTs were a no-show in my system. They sucked the life out of the music. I imagine this is because I have so much going on between my amp and speakers -- 2 levels of Bybee purifiers and a double dose of Bybee GG speaker bullets. I will be selling off the XOTs.

A 1" copper sleeve with a copper cap would do fine. Any play between the XOT and the sleeve could be eliminated with Blu Tack. I think you might even be able to do it effectively without the cap.

Ozzy,

Please explain "another cap with holes drilled". I am wondering if copper sleeves would help with Bybee GG speaker bullets. I will give this a try when the sleeves arrive next month.

Ozzy,

I understand now. I wonder if this will make any difference to the SQ.
