| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Bill,To be fair, Israel provided me with values upon email request. You're right in that he isn't an advocate of much modification to his products. I do believe he approves Vcap Cu foil as a input capacitor replacement for the Solens.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I received my Elrog replacement tubes and I'm listening to them now. It's funny how much I enjoyed the EML XLS while waiting for the Elrogs. The Elrogs raise the holistic/presence factor from the EML's already high standard. Both are wonderfully d... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Rob,I'm not sure if Israel would provide a schematic but he'd give you part values if requested. I look forward to reading about your outcome and listening experiences. Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Rob,It will be very interesting to see what capacitor he recommends for your amplifier. I use the Jupiter copper foils as input coupling capacitors in my Coincident Frankenstein amplifier. Although it wasn't a night and day change, it was certainl... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I suspect the builder and designer of the SRA poducts would not have imagined someone actually cutting the expensive product in half, interesting findings to say the least. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Nice examples Andrew. All three of those brands employ different approaches as you clearly point out. Each one certainly has their camp of strong/loyal advocates. At one time I came close to buying the SRA product(never heard it). It may have work... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rebbi,My parents died a few years ago and I think about them very often, so many memories. Your mother had a very long and productive life. You and your family have my sympathy.Charles, | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Maril555,I would have a hard time saying that any audio product is devoid of some level of sonic signature. I do understand and appreciate your experience and impressions. All I can say is is that in regards to my system and individual components ... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Maril555,I don't doubt your listening impressions via Star Sound products, you heard what you heard in your system. I'm unaware of any product regardless of review/reputation that has achieved 100% consensus/agreement, never happens. Too many syst... | |
| Does a Good 20 amp cable Make a Difference I will add my voice to the choir here and enthusiastically say that a high-quality power cord running from the wall to your filter is indeed money well spent. Al beat me to the punch in recommending using the Cable Company library, try different c... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Textreme,Yes, this audio endeavor is overwhelmingly subjective in nature and I just assume an open forum such as this will reflect that point. We can only report our personal impression/experiences and recognize there will contrary opinion. Charles, | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Schubert,I will say that Herbie's were the exception to the rule, they are the best of the soft compound products in my system (by a wide margin). They were out performed by the Star Sound Audio Points regardless of the components compared. I coul... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Roxy54,I agree that no one is being attacked, we all have our differences based on listening experiences. In my case I've used sorbethane/soft compound products and also Star Sound brass points and then their Apprentice platforms. No comparison in... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Joe,My initial experience with George was three years ago when he sold me my pair of EML tubes. I was very impressed with his responsiveness and good attitude and I knew that customer service was very important to him. Well, he's done it again wit... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Matthias,Thank you for that encouraging and reassuring post. I patiently and eagerly await receiving my replacement Elrog tubes from George. I believe this thread and your contributions have been helpful to quite a few here.Charles, |
