| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... It`s precisely about opinion and pure subjectivity.Your equation does`nt apply.There`s nothing absolute or finite when judging audio components(it`s really that simple).Everyone won`t agree that A=B and that B=C.Fremer clearly has gotten into you.... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Frederik,I`ll be an advocate of Duelund CAST the rest of my life.The CAST are in my Yamamoto DAC and with a mere two hours of playing they completely surpass the stock polypropylene output caps. The immediate effect is it seems is an increase in t... | |
| Why do modern DACs over $1,000 sound different? DACs are no different than any other audio compoent in that regard.Every thing affects the sound. Current/voltage conversion options.Circuit,op-amps(which one?) or instead choose discrete analog circuits Each part(capacitor,resistor,wire,insulatio... | |
| room size for Pass XA30.5 power amp Brf is right, it`s about the speaker`s sensitivity and efficiency. My amp at 8 watts is less powerful than yours, yet it completely fills my larger room(14'x26') with sound energy and presence without stress or strain. What is your speaker?Regards, | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Vetterone,Very nice system you`ve put together,it must sound exceptionally good.Are you putting your Duelund caps in the Berning or the Allnic components?Your Allnic linestage uses an interstage transformer correct?Regards | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Vetterone,The Coincident Frankenstein does`nt have any signal coupling capacitors. It instead uses an interstage(double C core type) transformer. The only bypass capacitor is a V-cap for the power supply capacitors(polypropylene in place of ele... | |
| Amplifier for Quads I just don`t see the advantage in sonic/musical terms in a high power/high current solid state amp. It seems based on the dsign of these particular speakers a moderate power tube amplifier of good quality would yield better results.Regards, | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Joc3021,Most of the respondents on this thread share your sentiments.Regards, | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please "best preamp is NO preamp"For some this may be true(system dependent). In some systems the lack of a preamp may'not' be enough, as many find improved sound quality with a 'good' preamp in the signal chain.This has been covered numerous times and I... | |
| Vintage Tannoy Monitor Gold vs SF Cremona Auditor Stan,What is the current condition(last model year was 1974 and predates the HPD series) of the speaker you`re interested in?The choices are 10,12 and 15 inches, which is yours?All three of them had 92 db at 1M/1W and were 8 ohm loads(5 ohm minimu... | |
| Vintage Tannoy Monitor Gold vs SF Cremona Auditor Nice and thoughtful post Dan.It all comes down to taste and system objectives.For me,I`d go with the dual concentric Tannoy and drive it with a high quality moderate power tube amplifier. That would lead to emotionally involving musical bliss.Best... | |
| Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner I have a Fanfare FT-1 that I`ve own for 16 years and it`s very,very good in sound and reception.I`d think the Magnum Dynalab is every bit as good.Regards, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have about 70 hours on the Duelund CAST capacitors.This is a fantastic upgrade in my speaker crossovers and I would recommend them to 'anyone' who wants to improve the sound of their system.I`ve noticed no negatives, it improves my speaker acros... | |
