| Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1 All this comes down to "high-end" and "price". Both of those mean nothing to me. A cable either makes a difference in ones system or it doesn't. That being said, I am not a cable junkie but recently heard a speaker cable that made more of an im... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics Some very good input and some not so much. We build tube components. Class A tube mono blocks and a hybrid tube amplifier, all point-to-point wiring. Each has something to offer. While the Class As are fantastic, the hybrid actually is more 3D ... | |

| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated We tried these Audyn TruCopper caps in our designs and they just seemed OK to our ears. The Milflex coppers were better to our ears. The V-Cap OIMP outperformed both in our 6SN7 tubed DAC. The copper V-caps are fantastic but we do install them ... | |

| I’m in trouble The best integrated amp that I have heard recently is the Mark Levinson. It is a new design that ML hired to make the new amp. Pretty nice for SS and I am a tube guy. No it does not sound like tubes! But pretty natural nun-the-less. Find a b ... | |
| Electrolytic capacitor replacement I generally use Nichicon capacitors in power supplies, etc. Clarity if I have to. Then Mundorf.I prefer V-Caps to the other capacitors. I generally do not find a need to use by-pass capacitors. Some people use them all the time. I have not fo... | |
