| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM sns, is your cardas speaker cable an internal bi-wire or shotgun? are you using my jumpers?vsm millenniums were a little bright so we changed the q circuit in the hf, the solder, cryoed the main networks, cryoed the rcs and changed the wiring harn... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM sns, what is your system comprised of?pre, power, source and cables? bi-wire or single run?thanks,b | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe you know marty, i never thought of it that way. :-)when people ask me about cable i always recommend small gauge copper/litz preferably and amps with low damping and feedback for my taste. most people that have asked are not offended by the cost o... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM jim, imo, the new and quieter supply takes a hint of false brightness out of the music so it becomes less complicated sounding. it is in reality 50 times quieter than the old one. it allows complex material to sound more resolved while coming from... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe testpilot,i thought about this for a few days before i made my response. imho, the merlin vsm is a critically designed speaker system with a very flat amplitude, flat impedance, high resolution and low distortion. with the e versions especially, t... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM face, jim did a good job of explaing what an sbam\mbam is but the low freq filter needs more discussion. it is a 12 db filter at 28 hz that rids the woofer of out of band response below the woofer's low freq resonance. this keeps the woofer coil i... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM j,these duelund caps are made specially for merlin with the capacitance/voltage that i require. they also use a proprietary dielectric so they are not stock vsf caps but look like them.the master bam also uses a new switching power supply that is ... | |
| Merlin Tsm Static/ crackle from right channel s, isolating the problem may help us.but what model are they?b | |
| Merlin Tsm Static/ crackle from right channel jax and nm are correct. reverse the channels of the speaker cable and if the noise moves to the other speaker, the fault is the amp or before it. if it stays in the same speaker, disconnect the jumpers and hook the speaker wire to the woofer and t... | |
| Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM c, the more continuous you make the speaker sound the more extended the extreme bass and treble seem to be.let the solder joints break in for some time until you have a good idea of what you have gained.is the sound more present in the mids or rel... | |
| Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM clabe, the vsm mxs have cryoed networks so the discontinuity will be there if you use a cryoed and non cryoed cap in the same speaker.did this bright sound happen before you changed the caps?do you find the upper mids a little pinched? pushed or r... | |
| Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM clabe, oh yes i remeber you now.happy new year!what is it about the upper mids and lower treble that is bothering you?and did you have this issue before you changed all the caps?i want to hear what you say before i say anything more.but i know thi... | |
| Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM i responded to this yesterday but for some reason it did not get posted.depending on the version of the vsm you have (which is?), it may not be good to mix the capacitors. the later vsms use cryoed hovlands and the use of a non cryoed cap in the h... | |
| What amp should be used with merlin vsm's? hi guys, i like el34s, e34ls, 6550's, 90's and 99's. in reality it is more about how the manufacturer untilizes them than the tubes themselves. but the 34's are relaxed and have a very natural unforced quality about them.and cj products are noted ... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM mingles, i think sns just put them in the bam. i remember that he really loved what they did for the sound. i use them there too and in the rc networks.i am working with them in the speakers also. no final opinion as yet.thank you.best regards, b@... |
