| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy & others -- Yes exactly, used the cable cooker on the caps and inductors in the crossover for a few days. Not with the speakers in the circuit of course. Also, separately, at another time, did just the ICs and all the speaker cables.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Finally got the 17uF Duelund Cast cap and .82 & .275 mH Cast inductors in my tweeter mid XO on 3.6 Magnepans broken in and all I can say is the sound is just glorious. Open and clear, lots of air and space, and just the right amount of instrum... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Tonyptony - If you read reviews I referenced, you'll get the differences ("Secrets" nails it and also mirrors my preferences - e.g. some tubes in the signal path are a requirement for me). To me, the XP-20 was better in several areas than the X0.2... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? As you noted, you can read the comparison of the XP-30 to the XP-20 and to your X0.2 on Dagogo or Secrets of Home Theater Hifi. The descriptions of the XP-20, which I owned for a few months, are spot on (I also owned and liked the X0.2). I didn't ... | |
| CounterPoint SA3000 Repair Technician I found it--- very sad. | |
| CounterPoint SA3000 Repair Technician Mike's almost your next door neighbor. Here's his e-mail address: mike@altavistaaudio.com and phone number: 1.541.848.7021. | |
| Amps for Bi-amping Maggies Macdadtexas - You won't need much more than 100 watts per channel on the tweete/mids. Theduker - that old EV XO not only won't sound all that good, the slope settings are not flexible enough for the high pass filter. You need 6db slope capability.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Forget the prior post. Despite all the time on the parts, they're still not broken in yet! The sound has changed a lot but hasn't settled in. Others that posted their opinions probably weren't dealing with 17uF Cast capacitors that weigh between 1... | |
| DH Labs Silver Sonic I would go for the Air Matrix over the Silver Sonic as they are better by a wide margin. The Silver Sonics can be a bit hard sounding. You could throw a Revelation in the mix somewhere. You'll get a bit more detail. They might sound more refined i... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil So have about 550 hours on all the Duelund parts in the new tweeter/midrange XO of magnepan 3.6Rs. Very neutral, quiet, extended & refined. May go back to the stock XO and do a comparison over the coming weeks. Aural memory's far from perfect ... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? My preamp cost more than my current car. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 crossover capacitor improvement? Have experimented extensively with Axons, Solens, Dynamicaps, Mundorfs, VTV Ultratone, both TF & Cu V-Caps, and Duelund Casts in various applications including on my Magnepan 3.6. You might not like the sound of the Axons or Solens, but they a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Had some other issues when I re-worked the XO. Everything has opened up now. The CAST are WAYYYY quieter than the Solens that were in my Maggy 3.6s. I'm with you Volleyguy, I might prefer a little bit "juicy" noise for some airiness. The quiet bla... | |
| seek a threashold power amplifier Have the manual right here. Same # of per channel output transistors 64, same uF size power supply = huge .25 Fahrad (key is cap voltage rating), bias current almost identical 1.1-1.2 amps with the lower the 12e, same peak current output 200 amps ... | |
| Bass amp for a tri-amped system? I asked this same question recently and didn't get a useful response -- maybe because I didn't provide enough info. What is the low frequency driver's nominal impedance and how about efficiency? I have a pair of subs with a 2.5 ohm nominal impeden... |
