| 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 There are like a billion claims, many old or outdated or downright false.I can tell you I cannot, blindfolded, or sighted distinguish between my current amps ... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? Yes. Just that ESA is being discontinued, so doulbe check with your supplier. :) My overal comments are that the ESA is darker than the CSA, but not as dark as the MKP. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @randy-11I think Class D is as good as many Class A or AB designs. It may sound different, as some amps will sound different to each other regardless of the technology. Some may also deal with different speakers differently, just like Class A/AB d... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? I should also say, both of these cap lines are on the darker side. The Mundorf Supreme's are much brigher arier, but add a kind of oily, scintilating color. It's VERY nice but NOT natural. The Clarity CMR are as open and airy, but lack the colora... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? Um, Clarity just released a new version, which replaces ESA, called CSA.If you want dark, but fabulous low level detail, go with Mundorf MKP. If you want a brighter, arier cap, CSA. I can't stress enough though, the MKP has TONS of low level detai... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Al -Yeeeeep. Otherwise I would have said "resistance" and wouldn’t be pointing to frequency dependent graphs to illustrate the magnitude of the effects. Best,Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Done. E |
