| Capacitor @sns A later update of the amp, with an almost identical circuit, did leave out the input caps. It never went into production though. Regarding cap size, yes the Audience barely fits as it is. So the ODAM would be a good fit unlike most of the ot... | |
| Capacitor What do you guys recommend for input caps (the literal first component on the circuit) on a power amp? I have a high bandwidth, high slew rate, neutrally voiced power amp. I did some mods recently and changed the stock input caps to Audience XO. ... | |
| HRS and MIT powerbar Yes. I did not believe it myself until I put some Stillpoints under my Nordost power distributor (and other ancillary products). The improvement was so obvious I was like... this sucks, cos I now need 4x more sets of Stillpoints... | |
| The Audio Critic When I first got into this hobby 20 years ago The Audio Critic had a bunch of guides/courses teaching you the hobby, how to select equipment and so on. The theme was - all amplifiers sound the same, choose your speakers via measurement graphs not... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers I needed so many lifters/risers, never bothered to buy them because it was too expensive to outfit my whole system. That was until the Audioquest fog lifters came along. 2 packs (16 lifters) for reasonable money. It makes a difference. Audioquest... | |
| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara You always get that sense of closing in and loss of dynamics with power conditioners, but you do hear gains in other areas. The negative effects are not really apparent until you switch the conditioner out. I just love the Nordost QB8 and I am n... | |
| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures Uptone literally sold thousands and thousands of both LPS variants. There is bound to be a small % of failures like with any other product. The comments you see on the web about failure are sometimes indicative of how many units are out there - r... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! KLE now have a newer RCA connector above the Absolute Harmony, called the Perfect Harmony. | |
| Chris' latest cables. Everything Chris at VHaudio does it very careful and high end, but for reasonable cost. For example if you are into modifying your gear or speakers, he makes the best internal hookup wire around, the Teflon Foamed UPOCC (not hard teflon!). Better ... | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T I am itching to try this stuff. On my cables, on my component fuses, on my E30 BMW... | |
| Quantum Base QB4/8 vs. PS Audio Dectet I now have a Nordost QB8. I have had the following power strip/conditioners ; PS Audio Dectet, BPT Strip, Blue Circle Audio, Isol-8, Weizhi PR6, MIT 6-Pole Outlet Filters and Mark Grant Audio. And DC blockers from Isotek. All of them are reasona... | |
| EVS Music Purifier I wonder if putting them at the amplifier end instead of speaker end changes things. Anyone tried that? | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @russ69 Your problem was reading a review by Amir. | |
| NPS-Q45T & Ethernet On HDMI and Ethernet connectors I would be too worried about a short. Even if you applied the oil correctly, inserting the connector could smear/move the formula near to another pin. | |
| EVS Music Purifier These types of devices have been sold by Walker Audio (HDL.....High Definition Links ....$725....apparently no longer available) and by Stein Music (Speaker Match Plus and Speaker Match Signature.....$690 and $1750).........and now Synergistic Re... |
