| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Last night I replaced the Sonic Cap Gen I's in the high pass with Claritycap MR's. My first initial impression was, they're tremendous! The .89uf MR is larger than the 17uf Sonic Cap used in my low pass. The 4.7uf MR is just tremendous. If I didn'... | |
| Cable TV digital music They're transmitting very low rez music files, there's no way to improve it. | |
| changing overall tone Goertz AG series speaker cable will definitely add more high end tilt. | |
| Used CD Player with variable outputs Some of the Yamaha CDC series has a variable output. They were $300 back in the early/mid 90's, I'm sure you can pick up one now for less than $100. | |
| silver with tubes and copper with solid state ?? It all comes down to synergy.I have one SS rig that uses Goertz AG2(silver) and is far from bright due to all warm components. Meanwhile, in my tube rig, I use copper cables due to a bright source. As mentioned before, it all comes down to what so... | |
| Musical Subwoofer for 2-channel system A Velodyne SPL series sub will blow away any SVS for music. SVS shines for home theater though. | |
| Subwoofer Advice For Stereo Music System, Not HT The Velo SPL series subs sound fantastic, very musical. | |
| Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new I'm also a fan of Alpha Core. I use their MI cables in one of my rigs, their AG cables in another rig. Each has perfect synergy in it's rig. | |
| how do they do it? 4tc vs Clear Oval I found 4tc's lifeless in my rig, so mostly anything else would be a improvement. | |

I own a MX-115 modded by Richard Modafferi of Audioclassics. I'm located in western Long Island and have no problem picking up stations 75 miles awa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil As mentioned numerous times, you need to let the Sonic Caps break in before making a fair judgment on them. I would agree that they are neutral, but they definitely aren't flat. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil IMO, Sonic Caps sound like Sonic Crap for the first 50 hours or so. After 100 hours they start to open up. I'd say they're 90% broken in after 200 hours. You should consider giving them another chance before moving on. Regardless if you move on or... | |
| Use computer UPS to power source, good idea? Belkin Pure A/V has two different UPS's available that are made for audio/home theater. I use one of each in my rig, the smaller UPS for my PC music server and the Hybrid UPS for the rest of my rig. | |
| Mark Levinson Repair I have a old Meridian CDP that I wanted to have repaired, but one of the repair centers wanted $700 for the repair, PLUS parts. So it's probably going to collect dust for a little while longer. | |
| Fullrange horns for nearfield listening? They'll work fine. I'm using a pair of modified Ardens that are about 8' from me. Being so close, I could probably use a SET amp for most of my listening. |
