| Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps? It is .1uf in the LS and .47uf in the PS of my late model Atma MP-1 MkII. I believe Atma used other values in various vintages of this preamp. It sound f***ing great with the V-Caps. | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Stick with .22uf and check out Atmasphere's response at the end of:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1170369408&read&h12&zzlAtmasphere&rest | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Replacing the stock Belden low-level signal wire with better IC wire is a good idea. Raising the value of the coupling caps will exaggerate bass response, perhaps to a fault. IMO nothing is wrong with LF in the BAT other than that it could be tigh... | |
| Tube pre with H/T Passthrough and Sub Out Dual outputs are not too important, as you can make a custom IC or buy a pig-tail splitter to connect both to your amp & the subs. | |
| Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps? I just replaced .1uf REL/Audiocap TFT coupling caps in my Atma-Sphere MP-1 LS with V-Cap TFTF. With just a few hours break-in, it's surprising how much better the V-Caps are than the REL and how big a difference there can be between one teflon cap... | |
| Retail Music Stores Gone Sdatch, I'll bite on this one: I knew a fellow with $100K+ in Krell FPB monos, Wadia separates, Dunlavy SCV speakers, and 100" Stewart screen in a custom-built concrete bunker, who listened only to Roger Water's "Amused to Death" and Yes's "Fragile." | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Rgurney,As Flemke mentioned, those are my comments, reflecting V-Caps at 160 hrs in a VK75SE. | |

| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? I've had the Cary 2A3SE monos for years. They are fine amps and much improved after replacing the Cary Audio1 coupling caps. | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 I just replaced Hovlands Musicaps with Mundorf Silver/Gold in a line-stage and am impressed with the improvement. The Mundorfs are more detailed & refined in treble & suppler with a more expansive soundstage. | |
| Retail Music Stores Gone I agree with Itsalldark that Barnes & Noble has the correct model for the brick & mortar music store in times of declining CD sales. They carry less inventory than the CD retail palaces of yore, but their corporate buyers have carefully ta... | |
| Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny Ascribing pricelessness and emotionalism to a commercial purchase tends to release manufacturers from the discipline of the marketplace and into the realm of luxury goods-- where demand becomes inelastic the higher the price. This is a dangerous t... | |
| Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny Great capacitors like the V-Cap TFTF or Mundorf Silver/Gold: they're expensive relative to other coupling caps, but very cost-effective in terms of the performance multiplier that they bring to amps, preamps, and speakers at all price-points. | |
| Neil Young at Massey Hall I would assume Massey Hall will arrive belatedly on Classic Records vinyl, as did Prairie Wind and Living with Law. |
