| Wharfedale Diamond 11.5 or 250 I know i keep posting, I can’t actually think of a brand you can do as much with cap upgrades as Wharferdale! Focal definitely benefits, but the part quality gap between caps and drivers as well as the affordability of Wharferdale speakers makes t... | |
| Wharfedale Diamond 11.5 or 250 Should also point out that Parts Connexion often runs sales on Wharferdale. Best,Erik | |
| Can a linear power supply be used for multiple devices? Forgot, if powering multiple devices, using snap on ferrite beads can be helpful. | |
| Can a linear power supply be used for multiple devices? So long as the voltage is the same, and the current limits are not exceeded, sure. https://amzn.to/2Y3gXfBSo, if you have two 12V devices, and each needs 1 Amp, then your power supply needs to put out 12V at 2A or more. With the Astron you'll need... | |
| Wharfedale Diamond 11.5 or 250 Hi Leemaze:I'm not sure, but typically Wharferdale puts in really capable tweets and mediocre caps, which is why you can do so much with them. Replacing the two smallest film caps you find in the crossover is where a lot of improvement can happen.... | |
| Wharfedale Diamond 11.5 or 250 Those benefit HUGELY from cap upgrades, even inexpensive ones like Mundorf MKP caps can transform them. Best,E | |
| DIY is not all about saving money I would love to build my own cables and equipment but I just don't have the skills to do so That's why DIY is for learning. :) We don't all start with these skills and tools. | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? So long as you have the right uF and don't go down in voltage ratings, replacing caps is pretty simple and safe and can be beneficial. As I've mentioned, if you want to go with the B&W sound, stick with Mundorf and Mundorf SIO. Look around on... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp would you consider a CAT preamp with SS amp? | |
| Class A Solid State Sound I like talking tech but i don't think attributing a sound to a transistor is useful anymore. Pass tunes his amps for high second order distortion and his fans love it. | |
| Jupiter - Audyn - Mundorf Tha’ts not how caps work!! In series they are high pass filters. If you get a 10uF cap in series, it will usually pass everything, bass to treble, but block DC. Kind of useless in the low end.What you want I think is a small cap which removes the ... | |
| ZPRE3 preamp The best reasons for the Z series, aside from good sound, is their tiny size. If you are going to build a micro system, they are a fine way to go. Like, for an office or area where you have limited space.Otherwise I would skip the Zpre3. It's a fi... | |
| Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile? I like power meters. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.Erik | |
| ZPRE3 preamp I don't know what the Denon is doing/ doing wrong with the signal. I've had really terrible luck with Japanese branded receivers and Emotiva types as preamps/processors. What is the Denon doing? Just a preamp, or are you using it as your DAC and s... | |
| Pono and the Ayre Codex @yage The thing I loved about the Pono was how it handled my Shure E4 in-ear monitors. It was really pretty eye opening. Not an experience I've heard repeated. Have you found something similar in the Codex or Pono for you? |
