| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hello Himiguel,Yes, this precisely why I prefaced my statement regarding associated components, room etc. I've had enough listening experiences where changing just an item or two causes significant changes in the sound quality. I not surprised tha... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tbg,Vocabulary is a problem when discussing audio. Your use of the term musical is much different from mine. In my use it's a major compliment and means it's natural,conveys realism and allows emotional involvement. Tbg everyone reading this threa... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Jon,Yes, I felt it was more natural and musically expressive or connecting.I acknowledge the two DACs were in different systems and there were contributions from the other components.The Lampizator 7 system just drew my attention directly to the m... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wisnon,I heard the Trinity DAC and the Lampizator level 7 at CES earlier this year. They were in different rooms/systems but the Lampizator 7 (room) moved me more emotionally and was very involving. It'd be a thrill to compare them directly as the... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks for the tip Bill. I'm ordering the Jupiter caps next week and look forward to hearing what sonic changes they will provide in the Frankenstein. Bill, how many hours of use until they began to"opened up" in your electronics roughly speaking?... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I've decided to give the Jupiter Cu foil capacitors a go in my Frankenstein MK II amplifier. Joe and Grannyring's experiences are very persuasive. I know what the Duelund CAST has done for me and love them. Enough people have directly compared the... | |

As expected there are divided camps on this issue. Some designers avoid it at all cost and other... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Roxy54,What I understand is that C core transformers are considered highly desirable for SET amps per Audio Note engineer Andy Grove. My amplifier's builder insists on the use of double C core transformers as well. I don't really know the technica... | |

| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Bill,I nodded my head in agreement and smiled while reading your comments about true timbre reproduction. Tone,timbre,harmonics and overtones are exactly my litmus test for the truly excellent components. Coincident does nail this crucial area.The... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Roxy54,Congratulations on your new amplifier. The AN Kit amps have a very good reputation for sound quality(I've no personal experience with them). As long as you have an appropriate speaker match you should really enjoy them for many years. I ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,Gon member Snopro has the same SET amplifier as I do. On his system page he says he replaced the stock Solens(used with the 6em7 input/driver tube)with the Jupiter Cu foil. He is pleased with the results and said burn in was 200 hours in... | |
