| Improvement of MacBook Air for Streaming Tidal Hey laaudionut! I would suggest a streamer such as a Lumin D2- which is what I use. It will connect directly to the Motherlode using RCA cables (it also requires a cat5/6 cable to your router) and then you download the Lumin app onto your Macbook.... | |

| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp @sns I wasn't saying either about the True Coppers as I find them equally enjoyable in higher or lower voltage circuits. I'm mainly saying that each can have a different situation where I find them to sound best. I hope this helps, Aric | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp @linnlp12 Could you please reference the article that you're referring to? The only one I could find was where Troels Gravesen upgraded an EAR 861 with the Miflex "KFPM" (not the oil-filled KPCU) and he makes no note of how the capacitors sound, ... | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp Hi all, Just to add some more "spice" to the conversation I wanted to add some additional impressions. I've found a variable which may be useful regarding these caps. In lower voltage first stage of a few amplifiers I've tried the Odams in, I fo... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? For clarity and to conclude my posting, my post is to offer alternative viewpoints in case the OP wanted to try something different. Considering the same issue is not there with other caps, I would rule out other variables. No intention of bumping... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? @grannyring With regards to Jeff selling what he carries- it’s just the opposite. He carries what customers want and expressed to me that even though he believes the KFPMs to sound better than the KPCUs, he has sold over 2,000 KPCUs and about 66 K... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? @hilde45 - You're very welcome! I definitely wouldn't rule out the Miflex as there's many folks out there that really love them. I also wouldn't rule out Audyn True Copper, V-cap Odam, or many of the other fine capacitor upgrades that we have to c... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Greetings! I've used the Odams in two SETs, a PP amp and a two stage DC coupled preamp as the output coupling caps so far (I still have them in the preamp as an alternative "flavor" to compliment a couple of amplifiers). They all have over 500 hou... | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp I understand this is an older thread but I wanted to provide some insight (as I know many folk find these threads via a Google search). I would have to honestly say that in my experience in dozens of amplifiers and preamps that I've tried them in,... | |
| A Combo of Sonic Delights Thanks Teajay! The hyper-link to the review: http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/aricaudio-super-300b-set-amplifier-by-terry-london/ | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier @vetusto no worries! I'd just like to prevent any confusion, since many people read these forums. The one you're referring to is an auction for a two chassis Super 211 SET amplifier and a custom preamplifier listed by a customer that I built these... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier Just to clarify, I don't build any preamplifiers that cost over $5K, I'm not sure where the $10K comes from....All the best, Aric | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes Thank you for the kind words! All the best, Aric | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes @khragon, Lalit's amplifier was built before my current 6SN7/6V6 front-end amplifier was designed. We originally built with a C3M driver stage which we found to be somewhat unreliable/finnicky, so I changed the circuit over to use a triode-strappe... |
