| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Finished my dac shootout today... had the Lampizator Amber 3, Audio Mirror Tubadour 3 SE, ifi iDSD pro, and Shiit Bifrost 2 on hand. Previously also had a Matrix x-sabre pro, PS Audio Directstream, and PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC MK2 in the same sy... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil A quality, educational discussion... Thanks. | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. @rauliruegas I’ll refer you to Ralph’s (@atmasphere) last post (first on page 3) in our other capacitor thread for some relevant discussion regarding parallel caps of different values...https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/preamp-output-capacito... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @atmasphere You keep slowly (and totally indirectly) convincing me to try your direct coupled pre. Unfortunately I'm quitting my job in May (and applying for new ones now), or I'd be saving up for a trial. | |
| THD In Light Bulbs @orthomead I have my stereo on two parallel 20amp lines with no other household devices. Unfortunately I could still get some electrical feedback from other devices on different lines (when I turned on an LED light I got a slight music dropout, p... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons @murphythecat That is exactly what my Coincidents due with the midrange and tweeter. Midrange is connected directly to amp and the tweeter just has a single 4.7uF cap in front of it. But then they've got an additional two 12" woofers after an in... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons In honor of the impending release of a diy version of the Nelson Pass designed First Watt active crossover, I thought I’d bump this amazingly informative thread on crossover design... looking forward to building the FW crossover and using it to fa... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring Should be around 150...no fuse upgrades to either DAC yet (was not told that the AM had a boutique fuse and haven't checked). | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Just got my Amber last week and am hosting a (two person) dac shootout this weekend. The Amber, Audio Mirror T3-SE, iFi iDSD pro, & a Shiit my friend is bringing over (unsure of model #). I've already had the iFi (and a Matrix X-Sabre Pro) f... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Hi Raul... finally ordered a pair of the MKP10s to try against my 4.7uF Duelund Tinned-Copper CAST high-pass tweeter caps. I'll let you know what the comparison sounds like. Also planning on trying the ODAMs in my pre-amp, but am not quite ready... | |

| Sight and Sound Question I've been involved in this type of work and the whole point is that the human perception & preference systems have cross-talk that literally makes it impossible to completely separate out your response to any single object. Thus, some of the ... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? @pmboyd Ahh, sorry, missed that. In my speaker (hp) crossover duelund was very superior to Jupiter. My impression across all the cap threads I've read is that that is a pretty strong consensus regardless of where people made the Jupiter-duelund co... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? @signaturesound Thanks! | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? @pmboyd Another possibility could be to replace the parts with cheap value matched equivalents. Should let you evaluate the impact of part quality while only costing $5. If it makes a big difference, than spring for the duelund cap replacements. |
