| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Audio...see the time stamps on my posts..i wont have a final assessment for a week or su until i rebuild bith sides. | |
| Pass Labs Those who deserve the best find it comes to them. Everyone else just spends a lot of cash. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @kdude66 Sounds like something I've said, about other things though. :) Best,E | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 My statement was very meta about pricing in general. Having just basically destroyed $200 worth of Clarity caps for $200 more / newer Clarity caps I am in no place to lecture anyone about caps. I was just making the general statement t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy Maybe, but using BIG foil sheets I got to about 4 nF. That's nano-Farads. :) I think that was double Faraday's original jar though. :) Ask me more specifically, I'm not sure your question about value. But it's just basic sales and marke... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 See my post, above re: capacitor construction.Best,E | |
| Pass Labs Not sure how creating an air of exclusivity by limiting supply is ironic. I missed it. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Ah, fine. :) That's fancy. All we really need is a signal generator, and voltage meter at a couple of frequencies. Best,E | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions @audioman58 Good info! I've been lusting after the Jupiter Cu foil, but man, about 5-7x more expensive, far too rich for me even as prototypes. Best,E | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions What does seem to be consistent in my current listening trials is the CMR breathes a lot better than the MR.I know it's a weird thing to say, but if you have heard GOOD high efficiency speakers you'll have an idea of what I mean. The top end just ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil This resistor value BS is another reason to stick to Mills.They are ALWAYS on spec, low thermal co-efficient, great sounding, small for their wattage rating. Everything else to me is just fussy nonsense. :) Best,E | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hey C_avila1,Depends on the rest of the circuit, but your changes are on the high side, about 10% of the total values for C and R, I would strongly encourage you to stick to the original values, or you’ll hear differences that have nothing to do w... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hmmm, per Jupiter's web site, the VT and Copper foil caps should be approximately the same physical sizes. http://jupitercondenser.com/product/vt-round-aluminum-foil-wax-and-paper-capacitors/http://jupitercondenser.com/product/copper-foil-paper-wa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I love Parts Connexion, but sometimes they hold up a big order for 1 part that I don't even care that much about. :) Hahaha. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil It depends on the specifics. Some items have huge mark-ups devoid of reason.Speakers on the other hand, except from those who make their own drivers, have a rather well structured cot to sales ratio. Always exceptions, to everything, but it's clea... |
