| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Sorry folks, I forgot, don't feed the trolls. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? @audiotroy I don't have a DS DAC, but to imply that a company *not* creating a new hardware upgrade every year is somehow hurting the people who purchase that product is just ridiculous. Companies that do that are just milking their consumers for ... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Different systems, different ears, ymmv. Good things to remember whatever your experience with a particular piece of gear. That's one nice thing about some of the other sites where people have signatures on their posts that lists the full music c... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 @paulcreed PM sent.. | |
| DACs with High Voltage Output I'll give you a negative recommendation... don't do a PS audio Directstream DAC. It has a lower than average output voltage. | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 @paulcreed what values do you need in the clarity caps? I have a pair of lightly used 4.7uFs I'd love to move into a loving home... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Also, my speakers had some cheap solens and while the Jupiters are definitely better, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with what the solens were doing. They're certainly harsher, but have really nice tone & color. | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 And if you can swing it, I'd go with a copper cap for smoothness & detail. I read a lot before replacing my caps and that's where I landed... Pretty consistent comments supporting them and I agree. I have Jupiters and others recommended Mifl... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 I didn't like bypass caps on my tweeters (Coincident PRE's). They added some phassiness that bothered me. Don't really think they work well in crossovers if you're phase sensitive. Put the same bypass caps, duelund casts, on the coupling capacito... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten +1. Thanks for all the help Ralph | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade Could be fun to get loaner units from them and Reno and have a proper 3 pre shootout... | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade @pgastone if you're considering ps audio, consider contacting the music room (https://tmraudio.com) and ask if they've got any used units available. As you've probably heard, many dealers can offer new ps audio products for substantial discounts, ... | |
| Rebuilding elgar 6000b conditioner? @atmasphere thanks Ralph! | |
| Rebuilding elgar 6000b conditioner? @atmasphere well, after receiving a unit that immediately blew the fuses in all my equipment and ended up being unusable, I finally found a good 6006b. Have it running in-line on a platform in my (dry) crawl space and it has greatly improved my sy... | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade Not consistent with your desire to avoid balanced, but atma-sphere swears by the method and makes a universally praised preamp that might make a great addition to the system. |
