| B&W 803D crossover caps B&W itself did "downgrade" from Supreme Silver Gold to an "inedited" Supreme Oil, without silver, and the general consensus is the 803 D2 sounds much better in the treble range than the D, much smoother (and still not enough...maybe the proble... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps @dhl93449 I found here http://www.audiokit.it/it/30951-condensatori-mundorf (I am from Italy) there is a 47uF Supreme EVO Oil, which measures 76x67 mm.The 47uF standard M-Cap EVO Oil measures 50x50 mm, the same as your EVO Silver Gold Oil.Do you t... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Wait a minute, maybe I have misunderstood some things:- does the Supreme EVO Oil not fit in the MR crossover? Can I use only the standard EVO Oil?- in the D2, the 10uF bypassing cap is "Supreme Oil" ... is it a custom model only for B&W speak... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Sorry, I used "nF" instead of "uF".@dhl93449 Do you like my project (to "add oil" to the 4.7uF TW coupling cap and to the 10uF MR bypassing cap -since I have 803D, not 803D2- and to replace the 47uF MR coupling cap with the Supreme EVO Oil) ?What ... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps I don't want to bypass caps ;) , I read the cheap 47nF MKP is in series (a "coupling cap") with the midrange driver, while the 10nF Supreme Silver Gold Oil (in the D2, without oil in the D series) is in parallel (a "bypassing cap") with the driver... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps @dhl93449 @stoni I have 803D first series since 2009, I won't change them with D2 or D3 series since (expecially the D3 with only 2 woofers) I find them leaner than the original D series.The 803D are the best speakers (in my very well tuned syst... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords With the XL on my Luxman 509u integrated amp it feels like I replaced it with double powered separates.More power and control, you can play louder with less confusion and distortion, with more dynamics, more focused, taller and very much wider ima... | |
| Cardas Cables Since a double run of Clear for biwiring would be too expensive for me, I am considering to move from Golden Reference to Clear Reflection.When I made the same upgrade of the Interconnects, I had better imaging, more refined and extended frequency... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @mikey8811 I prefer Clear Reflection to Clear, too.Both aren't perfect, buth Reflection's faults are much more tolerable than Clear's.Clear is too flat and boring.Since I have an integrated and use only a couple of interconnects, I replaced the Re... | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps Hi @guidocorona I wait for your Cardas cables review, I suppose in the Cables section.Very curious about the new C.Beyond XL Power (vs C.Beyond Power, I never fell in love with) but also Clear Reflection Speaker (vs Golden Reference; I need 2 pair... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords Any update or further impressions about the XL?I share my recent experience about standard Clear Beyond and Clear Power cords.As I wrote before, I used to keep a Clear Beyond from the Purepower 3000 (feeded by a 12AWGx3 dedicated line with Oyaide ... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @guidocorona I agree with you, but if one says "I am afraid it’s too neutral" means a cable sound that way many audiophiles call "neutrality", but reality is that sound is thin, lacking of weight and body.I would say it won’t happen with Cardas, b... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords Like @mikey8811 , I don't understand if the Beyond XL is more musical (since @garebear says "The XL continues to remain neutral but maintains the musical side") or if it is leaner, more analytical than the regular Beyond (since he is afraid a f... | |
| Luxman L-509X 509u has no roll off.Maybe it was a choice to make the new integrated "easier". 509u was a "no compromise" machine, you had to work hard to find the right match with source, speakers and cables, it was very high sensitive to electricity quality an... | |
| Luxman L-509X @rpeluso Me too owner of 509u.Are you from Italy, isn't it?I am not sure 509x can better the 509u, our amp was built with another kind of attention to perfection.If I had to buy an integrated today (I will never change my 509u) I would buy a 509x ... |
