| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? Agree with S7horton, you may have too much speaker for the cubic volume of the room.Moving to a larger speaker is very questionable.Just curious have you had a formal hearing test with an audiologist recently? Be careful with the volume levels.Bes... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Grannyring,Thanks for the thread and bringing the Duelund CAST cap to my attention.Charles, | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Well I placed my order for the Duelund CAST Cu capcitors today and should have them in 4 to 6 weeks. I`m quite curious to hear what they do to the sound of my 300b SET based system.Upgrading the one and only capacitor in the speaker 'should' in th... | |
| Does mfg's name/model affect your opinion of sound What has worked most effectively for me is listening.I attend live jazz venues frequently(most often unamplified). This really trains your hearing over time to appreciate the beauty of live trumpets,saxaphones,piano,guitar etc.What ever components... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Grannyring,Due to the different site to accomadate the 'much larger' Duelund cap I`ll need an extended wire to connect the cap leads to the inductor. What type and diameter of solder is best for this project. I want to do things right the first ti... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Grannyring,My friend and I determined today that the CAST version will fit. I`m likely going to use Duelund`s hook up silver foil(is foil ok?) wire with the silk cover. What gauge hook up wire did you use/suggest for your crossover and what type o... | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Good point Edorr, it could just be that simple.Regards, | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Atmasphere,If these ultra exspensive preamps you`re referring(Audiozen`s list) to don`t sound "natural" then what do they sound like? What advantages do they provide for their high cost?I`m puzzled.Regards, | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Hi Brf,You just remove the lower 10" woofer. There`s actually a fair amount of space at the crossover site.Certainly enough to place the Duelund VSF caps and possibly even the larger and round CAST copper caps also.All these years and I did`nt kno... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative I just learned that the new rectangle chassis is only for special order 'smaller' value capacitors. For me it looks like I`ll have to use the moonpie(round) chassis instead.163mm diameter = 6.5" fairly large, height is 26mm.Regards, | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Grannyring,I was able to get CAST capacitor dimensions from Duelund site via email(finally!).26mm x 163mm round shape.I thought they changed to a rectangle chassis last year. Are yours round or a rectangle? Seems the rectangle would be a better fi... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Audiozen,You seem to be quite enamored with specifications. Some measurements are certainly meaningful but impressive S/N ratio is no predictor of superior sound(same with very low THD values). Just listen and decide.The preamps you cite are very ... | |
| Modification that has proved to be transformative Despite 3 phone calls and an unanswered email I can`t get anyone at the Parts Connecxion to give me the dimensions of the Duelund CAST Cu capacitor 5.6 mfd. I do have a price(20% discount) and was able to get the size of the VSF Black Cu capacitor... | |
| DIY Cable: Cotton There are some cable makers who believe natural fibers,paper,cotton,silk etc. make the best dielectrics as compared to synthetics.Regards, | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II If the speaker specifications are correct(sensitivity) then these speakers can be driven with any 'good' quality low power amp(5-20 watts).High quality transformers and power supply mean more than mere power-watt ratings.I don`t believe you`ll eve... |
