| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Even I really doubt boutique cap manufacturers design their capacitors based on pure science.. Many "design" their caps just on the re-labeling of caps like Solen, get some of the data sheets and compare dimensions lead length ect ect of some of ... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? .9hz -3db with the 4.7uf cap fine, just bridge out the dac cap.Cheers George | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? faust168 Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? Fine if you want it, just make sure you can still get a laser or complete mech for easily and cheaply, if it’s not here, I wouldn’t bother with it. htt... | |
| Recording Quality mikeydee My question is, how important is the recording itself? Very important, especially the dynamic range.If you have good dynamic range you not only have bigger differences between loudest and quietest notes but you also have space between t... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Amplifier input cap isn’t related to cutoff frequency in this chip amp. It will relate to the low frequency cutoff with input impedance of the amp. If the amp is 47kohm input and the cap is 4.7uf then the bass rolloff is -3db at .7hz (a good figu... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? +1 for 10ufBass will go down another octave "if" it was cutting off a little too early with 4.7ufCheers George | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor 1. Start with 4 aluminum cones. I used some old Mod Squad Tip Toes.2. 16x16 slab of granite.3. 1/8 cork.4. 1/2 inch neoprene rubber.5. 1/8 cork.6. Top with another 16x16 slab of granite.7. Enclosed with a wood cradle to hide the mechanism. The gra... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? You make it personal, and that’s the difference, because you have zero tech knowledge and can’t converse at all at any level, all you have is voodoo/snake oil and personal insults to your repertoire. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Really! is that necessary? Typical **** coming from a voodooist | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? spoutmouzert Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Here’s a no cost experiment you can do, get you better half to shake them or even lightly hit them with a hammer while your listening, see if you can "honestly"... | |
| ... How I should set the volume... insearchofprat Please advise the most correct, distortion-free way to set this up. Always best for noise to use as much of the source’s gain as you can.Wind you sources volume up to a couple of notches back from full up with your quietest record... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? What do you think which one is more important caps, amplifier input or dac output? Just leave the amp ones in, and leave out the dac ones. But then only use that dac with that amp!Cheers George | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Not too much change. (just a feeling some thing removed :) Shows you the Wima's are pretty transparent, just leave them be.Cheers George | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Second thought, since you have a non polarized 63v cap on the input of the amp, just bypass the one on the dac (direct couple it) there’s no need for it, at least you get rid of one "pita" cap.But make sure you power up the dac first then the amp.... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Still I don’t understand why wima caps aren’t good enough.They are, I would suggest save the money and look for a "direct coupled output" dac with TDA1541 or better still PCM1704 even 1702.Cheers George |
