| Boutique caps in oil... reliable? @rodman99999 btw: It's been a few years (at least eight) since those Duelunds were replaced. Still: wonderful reproduction/no need for Pampers Understood. I’ve had the Duelund CAST PIO copper foil capacitors in my spea... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 Hi it’s nice to have you back and glad you are doing well. I have fond memories of this thread. I have had Duelund CAST capacitors in my Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers (Tweeter cap) and Yamamoto DAC for quite a number of years.... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question @nonoise That seems perfectly rational to me. No doubt that the preferable method of managing vibration/resonance is dependent on the particular speakers and circumstances. I don’t believe that universally one approach is superior to the other w... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question @grannyring I am now looking for some footers for under my Fyne F704 speakers. They are much heavier in the front and am considering both Audio Points and Townshend. Not excited about 150 pound speakers on the sharped tipped Audio Points restin... | |
| Tannoy arden legacy @mahmood85kasi What price range are you shopping in? That bit of information would make recommendations more specific and meaningful. Charles | |
| Get out and listen! For the rest of the night she used a mic. Just too hard on the chops not to, I guess. But I asked around the table at the end of the night, everyone agreed that was the best part and the most exciting thing most of us ever heard That is a good ... | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp @calieng Congratulations with your positive outcome. It seems that the stock coupling capacitors were a sonic bottleneck. I’d say that was 100 USD well spent. Charles | |
| Get out and listen! @musicfan2349 I appreciate your post and sentiments. I attend local jazz venues regularly and have done this the past 30 years or so. Fortunately the performances in these relatively intimate settings are un-amplified. So the natural beauty and ... | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? Here’s a review of multiple LPSs. | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? @clustrocasual Do you have a particular price range? I use the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS with my Pro-Ject RS2T CD Transport and it’s a wonderful pairing. There are folks who are happy with the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. Plixir and Farad are well... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @tomic601 @charles1dad, it is not the amplifier distortion…. take another run at it…. with equal moving mass and motor a pistonic cone has lower output…..why is that ? Okay, I have no idea what this is in reference to. Charles | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp But to be honest I do not take any comments personally. Unfortunately there is always some character lurking around a forum who is unhappy and wants to share that negativity with others. I see it more as a cry for help than a personal attack. G... | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp @calieng I don’t see the need to excuse rude and obnoxious behavior. I appreciate that we view this differently and that’s fine. Charles | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp @calieng But I take your point that often the expectation of an improvement colors our impression of whether or not an upgrade has really made a difference. I am glad that you see his point. I do not. He makes smug and arrogant assumptions abou... | |
| The character of analog and digital @facten I was introduced to a Neodio Audio CD player in the Lamm Audio room at CES some years ago. The late Vladimir Lamm was running the room. He alternated between the Neodio and an excellent turntable set up. He had his top level Lamm electro... |
