| Nicotine reidue on drivers What you have to think about is, can it be possible to stiffen a polypropylene cone just with vapor deposited Beryllium partials on it. To be honest I don't think so, as the Beryillium particles would have no structural strength in either plane at... | |
| Nicotine reidue on drivers I forgot to add, vapor deposited Beryllium would never adhere to polypropylene without a surface treatment. Well once the Beryllium was wiped off all that was left was a clear see though flexible cone under it.Cheers George | |
| Preamp suggestion for Quicksilver M120 amps agranttz OP Preamp suggestion for Quicksilver M120 amps They don’t need any active pre’s to alter the sound of them Sam said to me. Sam Tellig of Stereophile had a pair these, his favorite amps. He did a review of my Lightspeed Attenuator passiv... | |

| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post hudsonhawk O Yet another Integrated vs Separates adviceSeparates always better, as you can choose/change your active preamp coloration flavor. Or at least an integrated that can by-pass the preamp with power amp inputs. Preamps:Active Tube. Active... | |
| Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3 timothywright OP The Parasound Halo A21+ is rated 500 wpc 4Ω (which I like) costs $2995, however THD is rated <.1% which does not impress me. The amp I am replacing has THD <0.005% That’s because John Curl as does Nelson Pass etc etc most ... | |
| Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3 timothywright OP I was warned that McIntosh owners are cult members and that McIntosh was not as good as Pass Labs or Classe for the same money. They’er not.Seriously have a look at the new John Curl design Halo A21+ you should find a dealer tha... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Guys!, his amps aren't up to it in the bass with that kind of load, sure they're 250w at 8ohm, but they start s*****g themselves even into 4ohms let alone 2ohms!! which is the kind of load the 804 d3's give in the bass. 232.8W @ 8 ohms, 352.0W ... | |
| What will I expect to notice with a recap on a Stasis 3? Yes they’re all different amps, I believe the Stasis 3 (which isn’t on that table) is just a higher rail volt version (more Class-B 150w) of the all Class-A SA3. only 30 or 50watts? And the Stasis S300 is later and different to both SA3 and Stasis... | |

| What will I expect to notice with a recap on a Stasis 3? robbieshep OP Pleasure, looks like there are 6 X smaller electrolytic caps on each channel to be replaced, and the 2 big power supply ones, use .47uf plastic by-pass across each of the big ones, or the many little ones I linked to if you go that ... | |
| Renaming The Forum Doesn’t need a new name. Just needs new management. Really! That’s going to go down well with admin. I think they do a great job, save for not being even more severe on all the BS voodoo, snake oil threads. | |
| What will I expect to notice with a recap on a Stasis 3? robbieshep OP I’d say 2-3hrs labor at $120 pr/hr, boards are easy to take out. Parts about $150usd. So around $600 odd to do the job just by a good technician, not a amplifier manufacturer or hifi shop, because they will charge like a wounded b... | |
| What will I expect to notice with a recap on a Stasis 3? robbieshep What will I expect to notice with a recap on a Stasis 3? I expected a little more slam out of the Stasis but certain that some extra capacitance will help remedy that. Yes a re-cap will improve everything, as those electrolytic cap... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music This has always been there achilles heal. They lack in the low octaves. Only if driven by amps that can't handle their loading (impedance +negative phase angle) in the bottom end with copious amounts of current, which nearly all the mid/upp... |
