| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers FYI, I exchanged emails with Don (he’s awesome, BTW), and in addition to the Dynamat on the horns, the crossover mod basically consists of replacing the cheap Chinese caps with VCap ODAMs (which I know Don has made clear he’s a fan of) and the san... | |

| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii Thanks @djohn. I'll make sure I do that re: Scott. Also, I went with the gold pin EH tubes because that's what Upscale has as their recommendation for the 6922 tubes on their site re: ARC equipment. I will contact Brent Jesse about tube recs for... | |
| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii @jafox okay, now this is funny...because I have two differentially balanced preamps. One is an LS-5 mkiii. The other is...wait for it...an SFL-2 that's been updated by Parts Connexion and had the coupling caps replaced by the previous owner with ... | |

| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii @jafox sounds like you’re a huge Michael Elliott fan lol I appreciate you giving me your pre-amp progression. Makes me want to search out an Aria Audio preamp, especially since they’re collectors items now (went down an Internet rabbit hole, and ... | |
| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii Thanks @djohn. Scott looks EXACTLY like the kinda guy I want tweaking my equipment. Also, would love to see pics of the work in this thread and what exactly was replaced with what. Glad to hear you feel the differences were noticeable. | |
| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii Ah, okay. Thanks. Think I have settled on what I’m going to do. On the LS-5 mkiii it looks there is 1 output cap and 2 bypass caps per channel. Going to upgrade each output cap to a Stealthcap and upgrade the bypass caps to Dynamicaps. (That wil... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Wait, you think a DAC is as "silly" as expensive power cords and interconnects? This feels like ASR cross posting lol | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Cin Dyment: we both know very well you never owned such DACs. You don’t own any audio system. Maybe in your rhetoric trolling the audiophiles you hate so much, lies. Sorry for the threadjack but.... Wait, THIS guy is all over the audio Faceboo... | |

| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps I didn't see anything posted anywhere in this thread about ARC, but thought I'd comment on it: @fsonicsmith wrote: Audio Research Corp will not repair their solid state amps. They say it is not possible. Pyramid Audio repaired my D400mkii, w... |
