| Airmotion folded ribbon tweeters. Are they worth all the hype? Air Motion Transformers. Technically not ribbons at all. You should absolutely not buy based on a label like AMT or Be or anything else. Having said that, the best AMT’s are as good as the best in the world. There are also mediocre AMT’s, like med... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Paul: The TC opens up the upper mids. But it is only useful if you are using CMRs of larger values (5uF or bigger).If you use smaller caps I can't hear a diff, but this was done in a crossover, with different caps in different locations, so you ma... | |

| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... Super good question. AFAIK, the best a power cable can do is block noise, and transmit power. Too good a cable, and it transmits noise and power. Based on this, here is my thinking on an affordable, effective middle ground:https://inatinear.blogsp... | |
| Problem with streaming interference Welcome to wifi!!You should check your wifi health using a wifi analyzer. Available for Mac, Android and iOS. You want to make sure you are on an unused band/channel, otherwise you are sharing with everyone else. This is why, living in an apartme... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Oh, but FTR, Clarity is a little "splashy" first few days. | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Wimas are super over sold. Paul, CMR is NOT bright or analytical. If you are using values over 5uF, use an Audyn TruCopper 0.1uF bypass cap. The CSA is also not a bad cap at all if you want to save. | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel See my post which is directly related:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/kal-on-sub-integration-and-antimode | |
| Amp shut off and came back again. I didn't realize it was a Class A amp, it really needs more space than that. | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 The CMRs are the best "reasonably priced" caps I know of. At > 5uF, add a copper foil 0.1 uF The Mundorf supremes are too complicated to call them "bright." They add color and pop at the top end, like film that is over saturated in color. A Dis... | |
| I have three speakers avaiable to me?? I loathe Golden Ear speakers with a mad mad passion, that's' why DT was my only choice among the three.I find them harsh ear drills with no other positive attribute. Hah! Best,E | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Clarity CSA are darker, CMR are most open. Mundorf Supreme's are very colorful at the top, scintilating. Depends on what you want them to sound like. Mundorf MKPs are cheap, but smooth and very dark. | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? I don't believe you should try to find $50K speakers. Find the best speakers you can afford, and if they cost $20 each then so be it. The idea that you MUST spend a certain amount because that's what you have is the tail wagging the dog. | |
| Can you recommend a small (in size) Amplifier 150 -250 W Power per channel The NAD digital integrateds are pretty good and very physically small. Look for the 3020D or I think 3060 D | |
