Yes Jim, this is the right place.  I think the most
complete and comprehensive information about the
Custom Realist is in an article published in
Stereo World.  The article was written by Realist
authority Mark Willke (with help from Ron Zakowski.)
It was very long and thorough.  It is worth getting a
copy if you are interested in the Custom Realist.

The reference is:  Mark A. Willke, "The Realist Custom",
Stereo World 19(2), May/June 1992, pp 14-17.
