| Please help me eliminate the hum my digital rig creates Sorry *router* not modem. | |
| Please help me eliminate the hum my digital rig creates Congrats! Glad you found the culprit. I had a modem do that to me too, although it somehow started pouring audible rfi into my tube preamp. Bizarre when it happens suddenly. | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for swarm Great to hear. Congrats. | |
| Please help me eliminate the hum my digital rig creates Is everything plugged into the same wall outlet, or were you using multiple wall outlets (prior to the above suggestion)? | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Also, do note that input impedance to Don (or any other manufacturer). If the preamp design uses output capacitors you'll need 8uf caps to prevent any low frequency rolloff (https://www.v-cap.com/coupling-capacitor-calculator.php). That'll limit ... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Can't answer all of your questions, but I'd say the DS pre is a touch on the warm side of neutral. A little tough to say because so much will depend on what tubes and output capacitors you have on it.With the cv-181s and miflex copper caps, I foun... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps I think all the tubes you're considering are a good match, but they also will change the sound in different ways. If you want a bit more of a mellow, vintage sound, then try the psvane, if you want more frequency extension and imaging precision, t... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Just a quick note to those using the Dayton sa1000 to drive their subs. It has a very low input impedance, 12k ohms. If you're driving it with a tube preamp with output capacitors, you'll need a cap at around 6-7uF to avoid rolloff above 20Hz. I ... | |

| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. When I added Duelund bypass caps to my speaker's crossover I thought I got a bit better tonality, but also some "smearing" in the imaging. In the end, I preferred without the bypass. I did like the bypass cap on a coupling capacitor in my amplif... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps I tried the acmes and the eml-xls. I liked the former until I replaced the capacitors on my tweeters, then went back to the emls. Found the acmes a bit "rounder", or smoother, but lost detail and soundstaging. Thought the emls were more extended w... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates I have interacted with some companies and decided I would never buy another product from them. Atma-Sphere is definitely *not* one of those. Ralph is a great contributor and makes a great product. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from him. | |
