| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,There's no question that we all have different listening criteria priorities, that's why this is such an enjoyable individual pursuit. For certain some listeners will prefer a V cap or another good teflon capacitor (could depend on speci... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks for your response George. Interesting regarding your source's lack of negative feedback (NFB). The builder of my Japanese DAC made it a "high priority" to avoid (NFB) in his circuit design. Your system must provide you much joy.Charles, | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi George,I and I'm sure other interested people here would sincerely appreciate if you'd kindly list your source. If it's flawless(or nearly so) there are many who would be happy and grateful to duplicate this admirable achievement. Thanks very m... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,It's nearly impossible to judge and rate amplifiers without knowing the speaker in question, their linkage is that vital. A fabulous amplifier can sound bad with the wrong speaker choice. The same is true of a wonderful speaker with the "wro... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I've had the Jupiter Cu foil capacitors in my amplifier for 6 hours and my "early" impression, this is a very good cap. Its insertion into the Frankenstein is less initially dramatic than with the CAST in my DAC and speakers at this same early sta... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Some level of NFB may be necessary depending on the speaker you choose. NFB will I believe result in a lower output impedance for an amplifier(and likely increase the damping factor, DF). This is advantagous for some speakers.Most SET amplif... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil "Super Franks" now there's a concept!Bill I always appreciate your input but you go much deeper into modifications than I care to. I just go for simple yet high bang for the buck mods and leave it there. Duelund caps in my speaker Xover and DAC wo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Joe,I'm doing this primarily out of curiosity. This capacitor is in the signal path so it must affect the sound to "some" degree.I suspect the interstage transformer has a more important role in this circuit. However it seems all parts matter i... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I will have the capacitors installed tomorrow and then post an early impression in a few days. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I've ordered the Jupiter Cu foil capacitors. One pair of the 0.47uf were 176.00, the Duelund CAST in the same size are 380.00 per pair(The CAST have proven themselves in my system). I am curious to hear what these caps will do as coupling caps bet... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Mrmb,Your experience with those amplifiers isn't that unusual.Some speakers sound better with tubes(this includes bass) and others sound better with SS amplifiers. Speaker design and intent are everything. Some SS amps produce over damped bass ... | |
| Zu audio speakers for chamber music and jazz? Many people like Zu speakers. Why do you believe that they're necessarily represent a "step up" to your Hornings (which model)? The Horning line has received much praise themselves. I don't doubt that these two sound differently. Folks do seem ver... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oh, now I see, you "really" got my hope up there for a minute.Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Wow! 1, 000, 000%, that's saying something Bill. I'd had been happy with a true 10-15% improvement. Now expectations are really high.Look at what you've done.Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Jafox,Agree about room set up at audio shows. Some are downright excellent sounding and some sound like they were hastily thrown together with little thought or preparation. +1 on tube equipment, I've never heard any that couldn't be substantially... |
