| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Wait, used? Shouldn't need to be broken in that much. | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Cool, never tired them. Troels Gravesen loves them, but he's sponsored. :) Best,Erik | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Hey Ozzy, what caps are you trying right now?If you are going to try 1 brand at a time but can’t burn them in, it will take you a while to try 2-3 brands. :) Totally worth it to find another amp around the house to use for burn-in. Erik | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers NIce. I like silver, and copper, but really not impressed by silver/copper for speakers. Best,Erik | |
| Dipole Asymmetry Of course, there are simple things to try. I would turn my rack sideways and cover it in a courtain. :) | |
| Dipole Asymmetry @maplegrovemusic Compared to cables, fuses, etc. NOTHING measures a bigger improvement than acoustic treatment. Honestly though in this case the much bigger issue is putting di-poles so close to the walls. Fixing or compensating for that part fir... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers About 2-3 days of continuous play. You may be better taking this thread over to DIYAudio where you can post images like schematics and measurements. Best,ERik | |
| Need Advice on Multi-channel Amp Choices. Glad you got something you can appreciate happily for many years! :-)Thanks for letting me play.Best,Erik | |
| Dipole Asymmetry @imgoodwithtoolsGood way for you to loose weight! ;-) | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Vaguely, caps are often not rated to withstand more than 200 degree environments, electrolytics and film. Of course there are exceptions, and higher temp caps. Also, this is usually rated lifetime. LIke, 10,000 hours at 105C or something. The cool... | |
| Dipole Asymmetry @imgoodwithtools Nice setup! | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @kijanki I sit corrected! I thought by now there were a few DAC chips with this ASRC built in, but after browsing it seems I was confused. Perhaps this was an outboard filter chip with ASRC built in. My mistake. Best,Erik | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? I think you mean the DAC is a Delta-Sigma, which some mistake for DSD. DSD is encoded using Delta-Sigma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulationDAC's are either multi-bit or delta-sigma, although I think there's some hybrids with 2 b... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers I should have added, this is the soldering station I use, from Aoyude. Includes various sized tips, which have been a god-send. Cheaper kits don't usually include extra tips. Hakko is the usual standard for soldering stations, but I think Parts Co... | |
| Amps for B&W Matrix 801 Series 2 I'm not sure about amps, but capacitors are so much better now. If you haven't already I'd consider upgrading the tweeter and mid range caps. Even the relatively bargain priced Mundorf MKP ( ~ $8) each would be a good way to go.In the schematic I ... |
