| Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why? By the way, important to note that thermal stability ant temperature/longevity are not the same thing. You can have a very stable cap that has a low thermal rating. Also, who cares. These are RF filtering bypass caps. You could use 1 or 4 and the ... | |
| Fix or replace Accuphase DC 91 DAC? I really like a lot of modern DAC's a whole lot, but the BB's in the old Theta Digital gear were among the best. Same time, several dac's introduced in last 5 years or so are simply outstanding and affordable. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Dan,I don't know enough about your amps to help you I am afraid. The DIYAudio web site is a great resource for kits and components. The site is down for upgrading, but should be back up by Monday, July 10, 2017. I would ask there. While some d... | |
| Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany You know, it may be worthwhile measuring your house voltage. It could be something as simple as your generating giving you a nice little voltage boost. If that's true, then what you probably want is a conditioner with built in voltage regulation. | |
| Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany Good compromise is Furman with LiFT and series mod protection. Next step up is PS Audio. | |
| Kef 107 vs triton 1 I agree with helomech. GE speakers are to my ears hugely overrated. KEF every time. But also new Monitor Audio. :) Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! So apparently a short version was considered abusive. I thought I was being concise. This is me being perfectly reasonable. The best educators lead by example. Those who show a willingness to listen, learn and adapt instill the same in others. I l... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Which is why I'm keeping it short. E | |
| Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why? If you absolutely can't stand the idea, get Cornel Dubelier PP. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Atmasphere, If you use a delta-sigma encoding process, you are converting analog to digital, no? This AD conversion makes the amps "digital" a step most Class D amps do not need. Otherwise, please show an example of a Class D amp which uses Delta-... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I’m bringing this over from another thread, but Primare seems to be using their own digital amp modules, and Hi Fi News test reports praises their performance, unaffected by load, and flat to 60 kHz is quite a feat! I also noticed how well Hi Fi i... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? 2channel8:My mistake. I misread and got confused by the test reports calling the performance "closer to the Hypex UcD modules" Interesting that Hi Fi News seems to be paying close attention to the performance of different digital amp modules. I sh... | |
| Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why? You guys are getting nuts. Please look at the original capacitor value again: 0.01uF or 10 nFMost boutique caps don’t even come that small. 0.1uF is usually the lowest they go. I can pretty much guarantee it is not in the audio path. To put this i... | |
| Mark Levinson has odd choice for cap upgrades in one of their service bulletins. Why? Not every part in an amp has to do with sound quality. For all I know this could be a bypass cap on an IC which controls relays and has nothing to do with the audio signal path. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Delta Sigma processing = digital. :) Most Class D amps are not digital. Weird. :) Best,E |
