| Clarity MR caps for external crossover? The MR's have perfect synergy with Tannoy drivers.For the values that CC does not make, split the value in half. Using unequal values, especially in series with the tweeter, will have a negative effect on spacial information. As for the 200uf, I w... | |
| Wyred amps and Merlin VSM-MXe speakers I wouldn't call the STI harsh at all. Is it brand new and maybe needs to be broken in? What are you using for a source, cables, etc...? Is the room treated? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Just because it's a parallel circuit does not mean it's out of the signal path. | |
| Anyone with W4S amps and preamp Using similar interconnect construction(same wire, different termination obviously), I prefer balanced runs between my W4S gear. | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon, why split a mediocre cap and high end cap instead of just using a single high end cap? The combination of bypasses mentioned above can add artificial artifacts and can also sound very detailed, not something I would want with a metal dome t... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Jeffreybehr, have you tried Clarity's MR caps? The rest of Clarity's lines are mediocre in comparison. And as much as I like Sonic Caps, there is absolutely no comparison between Sonic Cap Gen I's and MR's. Bryon, floating caps is fine as long as ... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? I believe custom MR's will have to be purchased in bulk, 10 or more. On the other hand, I don't believe Duelund requires a minimum.Having tried bypasses and mixing values of caps(MR's, Duelund, Mundorf, etc...) to attain a specific value, I would ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have no experience with Mundorf foil inductors, only Goertz. The only advantage I can see is the ability to cover the top in hot glue, which almost solidifies the inductor, and protects it better against resonances. If I had the budget, I would ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Reynolds, Unless you plan on redesigning the crossover, the replacement inductor's DCR and inductance should be within 5% of the inductors you're replacing. I have used the Duelund, Clarity combo, but found that 100% Duelund or Clarity were bette... | |
| How to remove tarnish from OLD Silver wire? Years ago I used cigarette ashes to polish silver and it did an excellent job. I wonder if that would leave a harmful residue behind? | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2 Don't forget that the DAC-2 has HT Bypass, a huge plus for those who have a integrated HT/2 channel setup. | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? Acoustic Zen Crescendos, haven't heard anything better in their price range yet. | |
| Ayon Triton---suggestion on speakers? The Triton and Acoustic Zen Crescendos sound fantastic together. | |
| Where to go after Polk LSI15's Polk's new LSi's will be out soon and will be a substantial step up from their current LSi series. | |
| Any one ever replace caps or modify there Xovers Shay123, that is awful advice. Manufactures are in the business to make money, do you believe they'd add all those extra parts if they weren't necessary?As for bypasses, I only find them helpful when dealing with electrolytic caps of large values ... |
