| Time for Two Ways ! We'll save the tweeter discussion for another thread, but like ANY technology, there are good and bad. :) | |
| Who makes coax speakers? The modern Kef's and Technics I believe. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Good find, @nordicnormAmong the most beautiful power amplifiers ever made. E | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? I've heard 1 person really dislike MKP. I think they are a nice step up from the cheap Solens (not sure about expensive Solens) so some of this may have to do on the tweetr/mid you are using. Again, it is SOooooo cheap, you should just go ahead an... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? You know, the point I want to make too is, Mundorf MKP's are super cheap, and a big upgrade from electrolytics. Why don't you go ahead and replace oru caps with Mundorfs, and if you find htem dark, try ESA. | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? Mundorf MKP : Great low amplitude detail, and ambience/room acoustics but pretty dark. Great choice for harsh tweets. ESA: Little less room acoustics/low level detail but slightly brighter. | |
| Time for Two Ways ! Hi @tubegroover It would probably be intersting to look at the frequency response with the tweeter in normal and inverted polarity. Based on the published measurements, I think you may find inverted is the better option. It is also possible that t... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? Audio, since I use both Mundorf MKP and ESA that is actually what i’m comparing it to. My comments on CSA were based no the delta between MR and CMR, thinking you’d hear the same steps up. :) Sorry, I now have double confirmation you were right ab... | |
| Clarity Cap lines Thanks, @dgarretson !! I have to say the DTAC is pretty cool looking. :) Best,E | |
| Class D = Trash? You know, there are a couple of interesting hybrid Class D which are reminiscent of the carver switching rails designs. The Yamaha EEEngine and NuPrime. In these cases the voltage rails themselves are Class D which then drive a low wattage linear ... | |
| Time for Two Ways ! Awww shucks guys!! :) Thanks for the votes for fun, welcoming threads on topics we don't get to see a lot in the press. @asvjerry Where you the guy I gave that 2 way schematic to? :) I built my own 2-ways with AMT's. I'm DONE shopping for speakers... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? OOPS! Sorry about that bit of misinformation. I should ask them. The ESA and MR lines went on sale simultaneously in advance of the release of the CSA and CMR so I erroneously assumed they were being phased out. My apologies for the incorrect info... | |
| Jazz FM 91 - New digital encoding? @jafant That wasn't the issue. :) The issue was whether my DAC was screwy or not. ;) | |
| Class D = Trash? @noble100 and @randy-11 I suggest you ignore some of these criticisms before listening. There are like a billion claims, many old or outdated or downright false.I can tell you I cannot, blindfolded, or sighted distinguish between my current amps ... |
