| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Thanks for the thoughtful response. Frankenstein mono blocks I have deliver 20W (circuit is internally modified and thus can only take 300b xls and not regular 300b). For most part, I believe lack of power is not the problem. Most of my journey wi... | |

| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music I am very saddened to hear about the loss. I Met him and had good time when he visited us in Florida last year to help setup my system.

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Grannyring. My system right now is very optimized to be very neutral , resolving and dynamic. Exactly where it should be. Capacitor upgrade is pretty academic but if anything, I would like to make my system tip towards warmth. Can always us... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have a question for Charlesdad and other members who have changed the coupling cap in Frankenstein Amplifier. I am inclined to get Duelund Cast-PIO .47uF 630V. I see that Jupiter is what most people have tried. Size of Duelund capacitors is 1-5/... | |

I have Modrwright 105 and wonder how these two mods differ... just different sounding or one sounding better than other and by how much and in wha... | |
| Where would you put best tubes, preamp or amp? Preamp. Not familiar with your particular amp/pre combo though. | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Tubegroover, I am in North Central Florida. I own Modwright Oppo 105. Before this I owned Modwright version of xa-5400es and oppo 95. PM me if you are interested in auditioning. BTW, I could try your Berning amp with Merlins, if possible:) | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? I am using big aurios pro under my Merlins and love them. Better than spikes coupled to hard wood floor. I use BDR disc (about 1/2" thick) in-between speaker and aurios. pm me for details... |
