| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Phil,Well written and well explained.I do think Spirit will find SET presentation enjoyable but different for the reasons you laid out.Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Salectric,Yes,try the larger value CAST, cool and analytical is the last description I`d use for those capacitor`s contribution.Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Salectric,I agree with your statement concerning the Duelund CAST capacitor value. They are expensive but have given me very satisfying results and improvevment. Placing them in my DAC and Coincident speakers was money very well spent( a bargain i... | |

| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? Sunnyjim,Your point is understood.My response to Chayro was to make it clear that Jwm had spent considerable time with the units in question.It wasn`t a few hours audition and then forming a conclusion,this was done over a period of months with a ... | |

Some expensive components justify their cost by virtue of the performance provided and others despite the premium price simply don't. The not... | |
| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? Chayro,It depends on what is being modified and who's doing the work, so there's a pretty wide spectrum of results. I can tell you a good friend of mine had the Playback Designs MPS-5 and the Mod Wright OPPO 105. He kept the Mod Wright and he sold... | |
