| Emotiva Amps Yes, the land of let's test a small two way bookshelf speaker in a 5000ft3 room and that all amps sound the same. | |
| Speaker Re-cap. How do you know when? Make sure there are no air leaks. Make sure all drivers, binding post, etc...are all secure. Electrolytic caps usually last about 20 years, so it's probably time for a recap soon anyway. If possible, use all film caps. I believe those speakers are... | |
| McIntosh MA-7000 vs. MA-2275 I would pass on CS-350's on stereo configuration. JM Labs Utopia series are hard to beat for the price. | |
| Vienna Acoustic Hayden grand or Polk audio lsi9 I've heard LSi9's a few times. I wouldn't say they have a lack of detail, they're just laid back. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil In my custom speakers, there's only 1 cap in the HF circuit, so it would have only been the VSF or MR. In my Tannoys's, there's 3 caps in the HF circuit, the first cap everything passes through, then there is a cap in the contour filter, and a cap... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley, I have now heard Clarity MR's and copper Duelund VSF's in both my Tannoy's and custom speakers. I still stand by my opinion that imaging and dynamics are better with MR's. But, I could see how someone could still prefer Duelund due to the... | |
| Jumpers for McIntosh MC225s operating in mono I've heard of using solid copper before, but IMO, it's kind of a eye sore. I would follow Apachef1's advice and if available use the same cabling as what you're using for speaker wire.A paper clip would work, but not if you care about sound quality. | |
| Power fluctuations; how to conquer ? I use a Belkin Pure A/V Hybrid UPS 1500, it's a line conditioner and battery backup. I use it for my A/V gear and sources year round, on my on amp only in the summer when I frequently experience brownouts and occasional blackouts. As for killing d... | |
| Best PreAmp match for a MC-7270? I've always preferred the sound of passives on my 7270. Vintage Mac preamps are too colored and IMO the new ones(C45, etc...) were not a good mix for me either. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You guys are killing me...Can anyone go into detail as to why the CAST's are so much better?Comparing Clarity MR's to copper VSF's, the VSF's had better tonality/timbre, but the MR's were better in every other way. I'm using a mix of Clarity MR's ... | |

| Tannoy Revolution Signature Series Sounds like a synergy issue. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I did some more testing with Claritycap MR's and Duelund VSF's and am truely stumped. I had an 6.8uf VSF on my tweeter and the soundstage was amazing, then I ran 3.3uf, 2.7uf, and .82uf MR's in parallel(to achieve 6.8uf) and the soundstage sucked.... | |
| The''best'' used mini speakers Polk...Bose..?? Definitely not Bose. Polk M5's can sound pretty good with an updated crossover. |
