| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Dammit. The Jupiters are sold out at both PartsConnexiion and SonicCraft. PC does have the Duelund RS Copper Foil caps, but I think you all talked me into the Jupiters... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) At this time, I am not really inclined to do anything besides replace the tweeter capacitor, but clearly there's a lot to think about there. I think improvement there is highly likely, but I'm a little less confident about the wiring/inductor/pos... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Thanks again for all the conversation... All very useful. | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @audioman58 And fortunately there's nothing else really to change. The PREs only have that one 4.7uF capacitor on the tweeter. The midrange is directly wired to the binding posts and the the bass just has a single inductor coil. | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Thanks for the recommendations everyone.@justanotherhifiguy Isreal states that they use Mundorf in current models of the PRE, but my pair (I purchased used) just have Solens. The frankenstein amps also have solens throughout... although to be hon... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Thanks Erik. Also, just to be doubly sure. I don't need to worry about voltage rating as long as I meet or exceed the original value (100V), right? | |
| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? @almarg Thanks al. Always happy to see one of your posts in a thread, and glad you're enjoying the pass. 5 years ago I had an xa30.5 that I loved and have considered using the new model on my coincident PREs (in liu of the 300b Frankenstein's). I... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Adding to my list of threads for future reference. | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? I hate it. | |
| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? @almarg Didn't know you'd switched to this amplifier. Are you subbing out with the VAC, or have you switched completely to the XA-25? | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? Thanks folks... and happy to continue to take any thoughts. | |
| Do I need a specific type of 4 gauge wire for my monoblock amp? Not many car audio conversations around here... You might consider posting elsewhere if you don't get many replies. | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? @charles1dad Regarding SPL levels... again, listening with peaks right around 70db (C-weighted) is very good, peaks in the 60s is good, and things start to fall apart when peaks are only in the 50s. Perhaps that's not totally surprising given th... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? @charles1dad yes, I have one silver input and two coppers. Copper on both outputs.I'll check my spl (just using an uncalibrated Android app unfortunately) tonight and see where things fall apart. Pulled it out last night and things were still good... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? @charles1dad I started to write a message on Thursday or Friday saying that I was going to to return the unit and spend the money elsewhere. Then I came home and tried the silver input and it improved things quite a bit. I would not say that the ... |
