| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Today I successfully installed a PCB fuse holder into my computer's power supply. The stock fuse had leads soldered to the ends that were then soldered directly to the PCB. It took careful work with the Dremel to widen the PCB inlets to accept t... | |
| Air Tight ATM-3, ATM-1 or Thalmann modded CJ Premier Fives? Montaldo, I have extensive experience with Teflon capacitors in various modified components and the CJ ET-3 SE. I can assure you that Teflon caps can provide an amazing soundstage and an astoundingly clear window into the recorded material. I high... | |
| Manley Jumbo Shrimp upgrade Modifications to the Manley Jumbo Shrimp should be very easy to do to because the main circuit board is on it’s side allowing you to access both sides of the printed circuit board. Don’t be shy to buy a solder gun and an auto-ranging multi-meter t... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Denon1, how many hours did you use the hidiamond cables? I currently use the D9 interconnects and the D8 speaker cables. My set up sounds quite holographic. Do the KCI and Snake River combo provide 3D imaging for your soundstage? | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Jazz, my interpretation of your description of the D8 cables is that you are describing tonality.Please describe the way the Hidiamond speaker cables portray the soundstage compared to the High Fidelity cables. Also, state how many hours each cabl... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp Tbg - I don't think you read the whole thread. Please read my post and Georgelofi's post from 06-03-14. My idea with having a passive stepped attenuator in the amp is to eliminate the costs of the pre amp and interconnects while shortening the sig... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp Ouch! Please explain your post, Tbg. Are you in favor of active pre amps? Are you in favor of teflon dialectric? @Salectric - Thanks for letting us know about your upcoming trials. Let us know what you hear or not hear. | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects It would be nice to have an accessory that adds magnetic conduction to any cable similar to Bybee Golden Goddess speaker bullets. | |
| Dynavector 20x2L with the Sutherland 20/20? Use the 100 ohm setting and see how you like it. Have you ever used a solder gun? Remove the 100 ohm Dale resistors and replace them with TX2575 resistors with the resistance of your choice. The 20/20 seems to have high quality circuit boards so t... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp The silk tubing was purchased from Parts Connexion. Their parts numbers are: SLKTUBE-72530 (small gauge) and SLKTUBE-72531 (slightly larger guage)You can also purchase bare copper and/or silver wire to use with the silk tubing. Let us know what yo... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp I recently posted regarding sonic dielectric differences including Teflon Neotech copper wire which I believe, also, colors the music. See post from 03-30-14.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1388352260&openfrom&1&4#1Yo... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp I forgot to mention the wire I used to replace the Kimber TCSS is the Neotech solid core, UP-OCC, 20 AWG wire with PVC jacket. | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp Yesterday, I replaced the Kimber TCSS wire that connect the female GRFA RCA jacks in the amp to the Khozmo attenuator. The results: major improvement in tonality. The Kimber TCSS wires use teflon insulation that obviously colors the signal. This i... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp I would like to add that this upgrade also removed an "electronic glare" that was plaguing my system. This upgrade made a huge difference as much as my Hidiamond D9 ICs and bypassing the amp's PS electrolytics with .22uf V-Cap CuTF caps. One point... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp I did it! I just finished installing the Khozmo stepped attenuator. It's easy to hear the difference immediately. The sound stage has tremendously improved in depth, layering, background noise, focus, and dimension. There's no doubt that this is a... |
