| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Lewinski01,My BPT unit has 10 outlets and I use five of them for my entire system (transport, DAC, Line stage and two mono blocks). This is one of my best audio system purchases. Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I don`t know why Duelund would be misleading about the construction of their capacitors(if they indeed are] I haven`t cut one open. I can only account for what I hear and I love what they`ve done in my individual case.Volleyguy had one CAST capaci... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Lewinskih01,My room has 20 amp dedicated circuits and with my amplifiers(8 watt SET 300b, 40 watt el34 PP, and a 100 watt KT 88/6550 PP) plugged into the wall outlet the sound is good. When any of these amplifiers are plugged into my BPT3.5 Signat... | |
| Best Placement - CT-1E Neal,I asked this question of Rick Schultz and he said that the nearer position to the source the better effect from his cables. I use his CT-1 Ultimate cable from transport to DAC and it has been truly stellar in that location. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil This is starting to make sense, inexpensive mass market CD players using very large value but poor quality capacitors. Certainty this partially explains the typically crappy sound heard from these types of players. I'd be genuinely shocked if a Du... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I find it difficult to understand the use of such a high capacitance electrolytic as a DAC's output "coupling" capacitor. On the surface it doesn't make sense ( most are .47uf-1.0uf). 470uf???Salectric as usual you offer good perspective and advic... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,The Jupiter copper foil capacitor appears to be an excellent choice for your DAC.If they do for you what the Duelund CAST did in my DAC, you're in for a major treat{for less money than I happily spent}.Not a bad way to go.Charles, | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs I believe the move to Daedalus is the right direction and these speakers also have a very good reputation for sound quality. | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Concert Fidelity and Lampizator Big 6, this should really be an interesting direct comparison. What fun! | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Very good discussion here and with wise opinions. Syntax, your heavy/light car analogy for high/low efficiency speakers is a excellent illustration. I've never understood the prevalence of inefficient difficult to drive speaker that require behemo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,Your description of the speakers is precisely what I hear, "purer, bigger, more lifelike". Crossover capacitor quality does matter, significantly. Charles, | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX resistors Bjbcab,I believe nearly everyone can relate to the occasionally "grumpy mood" type of day. Keep in mind that no one has questioned Dave Wilson's talent or the obvious success he's earned with his speakers. It's only curiosity regarding an unconven... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,The capacitors are 1 per channel (so just 1 pair is needed). If you click my system page and then click my Yamamoto DAC you'll see a picture of the installed CAST. If Grannyring believes the Jupiter is equal to the CAST that's very good news a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,The Jupiter capacitors seem to be an ideal candidate for your DAC based on Grannyring's ringing endorsement. The CAST in my DAC has been a spectacular sucess (1uf output coupling position). If either of these two caps fit into your DAC I'd go ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Tas,Perhaps it's the different systems we have but I didn't experience the occasionally aggressive treble you mentioned. Immediately apparent was an increased resolution and detail/information retrieval. However the innate natural character imp... |
