Looking for a Preamp up to $3K
Looking at the MBL 5011. I know I know, it's nearly twice my budget.Having the MBL 121's I can certainly appreciate the stellar quality of MBL line. It really is amazing. I have one speaker that sustained damage to its finish - not done by me. I c...

Thanks Johnss. I'll head in that direction. 
Looking for a Preamp up to $3K
Last night I compared my Perfectwave DAC Bridge (lossless FLAC files)to my PS Audio GCPH phono preamp going straight to Pass amp. I've been not listening to files for a while and wanted to compare sound quality between the 2 formats.The vinyl medi... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
So JFondell, they look great but how are they sounding? We need to know :)

I rechecked the values of those caps. They are in fact 100uf 63volt caps. Here is a pic of the caps on the board.http://www.flickr.com/photos/9751465@N05/5511871969/Pictures worth well, you know.When bypassing, I assume that means adding in parall...

My old eyes aren't what they used to be. Now I'll have to open her up and recheck but I'm 90% sure they were 100uf. How can one tell the difference between electrolytic and film?

Yes the 12000uf caps are for the power supply. Probably shouldn't touch those. The remaining 4 100uf 6.3volt caps are in the signal chain. Those I'll "touch".Thanks for your help.

I doubt that I'll find a schematic on this phono preamp. I know the risks involved, that's why I asked the question. I don't wish to change the circuit, just perform some upgrades such as caps, fuse, some resonance material, maybe upgrade some wir... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
JFondell, keep us posted. I'm ~5 weeks away before I'll smell mine. Regarding tone, I left myself some adjustment in that regard. With the cross-overs outboard, I'll have access to the caps and wiring. I have no preamp so my current setup takes a ... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics Decade 1 (D1) Speaker
Thanks for the reply Holley.I ordered the D1's yesterday. We're still deciding on finish but I did request outboard crossovers in a biamp configuration. Haven't decided on caps yet. May stick with the stock caps and play with the crossovers later.... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
My wife wants the bigger ones, the D1's. So I'm calling Ty to place an order. No I'm not kidding. I was trying to talk her into the D2's!I will evaluate and write a review once they are broken in. I know it'll take weeks to build and I still haven... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
So far a very nice guy to deal with as others reported. So accommodating! I'm requesting outboard crossovers sized to accommodate different types of capacitors if I so choose to experiment. He builds them to match the finish on his speakers while ... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
I guess the only way to know how good they are is to get a pair. 
Review: Tyler Acoustics Decade 1 (D1) Speaker
I'm not understanding why there are no follow-ups to your thread. Are these speakers a secret or what?I'm looking for at some full range speakers possibly to replace my MBL 121's. A hard act to follow as I am not dissatisfied with the sound of my ...
