| Anybody familiar with Mundorf silver&oil caps I tried bypassing my big valued Mundorf Silver/Oils in my cdp with small valued Sonicap Platinums; the result was less than favorable. It produced a brighter,less natural sound than just Mundorfs by themselves. | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? Thanks Grant..all good points. Will do more troubleshooting tonight, and will post results later. | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? I can put my little VSA VR-1s back in the loop, but I'm not sure that they go deep enough. I can also connect my cdp directly to my Dodd monoblocks to at least rule out the preamp. That just reminded me....I used to run off the 4ohm taps on the Do... | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? Grant, I checked both speakers out while playing a 20hz tone (volume level normalized to 80dB @ 1kHz), and felt both drivers...very slight movement on the bass drivers of both l and r channels. I then cranked the volume up to what would normally b... | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? I can't believe it's upstream since nothing really changed since the Andra IIs.I did look at both speakers, and neither of the bass drivers are moving very much with a normal music signal at normal to louder listening levels. Hardly moving = hardl... | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? Kal,I am leaning Grant's way here (on the driver or crossover perspective; I know it's not my system, since it was also used on my Andra IIs)...I only agree with you on the "can't gain 15db during break-in" statement, and not on the room issues. I... | |
| Your Fav EL34 and why? I also forgot to add that the soundstage really bloomed and filled the room much better with the SEDs vs. the original JJ E34Ls.I have not heard the orig. Genelex KT-77s. | |
| Your Fav EL34 and why? Hey Jim, for my Dodds, my preferences fall like this: Best are the SED Winged "C"s, then the JJ KT-77s, and finally the JJ E34Ls. I haven't tried other EL34s on my monos. The SEDs have a better, more organic midrange compared to the KT-77s, while ... | |
| Best tube amp for stock AKG 701 head phones Singlepower's PPX3 SLAM amp works well with my K701s... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" We'll have to start a separate "Audiophiles with Omega Seamasters" thread.....I'm guilty as well!Now back to the regularily scheduled programming.... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits I am also using a pair of pure gold interconnects in my system that I built myself. I ended up using 28ga 24kt pure gold wire, two wires per leg, terminated with Eichmann RCA connectors. I'm using it between my cdp and preamp, and anytime I try a ... | |
| purist vs. concierto vs. elrod vs dcca power cable The fact that DCCA gets mentioned in the company of all these other excellent cables is in itself a testament to the sonic and build qualities of the DCCA power cables. I've owned Audience, Virtual Dynamics, CPCC, TG Audio, Wolff, and VH Audio pow... | |

| Nuforce 9.02 + Eggleston speakers Don't do it... I tried the Nuforce 9s on my pair of Andra IIs, and the results were disappointing. Flat soundstage, mediocre tonality, and the combination had no redeeming sonic qualities whatsoever. No synergy whatsoever. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Congrats 711! Maybe you'll let me hear it one day?Enjoy! |
