@charles1dad I will be very curious to hear your thoughts on the Abbas Dac vs your Yamamoto I've heard of Abbas and from what I can tell they, like Sw1x, are emulating the Audio Note philosophy. Having heard both Yamamoto and AN I definitely think there are similarities in sound presentation if not technology, Abbas would seem to be of a similar mindset.
Boutique caps in oil... reliable?
Hi Everyone,
Just kind of openly curious. On occasion I will read a post here or there that a boutique film cap which uses oil as a dielectric has leaked (i.e. failed).
Just wondering when it comes to these high end oil impregnated (or maybe even wax!) caps what your experience has been with long term reliability.
Thanks!
Erik

@charles1dad Thanks I had no idea you were considering AN when you bought your Yamamoto. And did a bit of reading on the Abbas site he credits Andy Grove from AN UK for a lot of his background knowledge and the George Slawa of Sw1x is his protege. A small incestuous design world I have to say I love manufacturers sharing ideas like that. Apologies to @erik_squires for the thread hijack and please create a thread for your Abbas Dac impressions Charles. |
