| Dali Helicon vs. B&W 805 and Paradigm Signature I'm going to pick up the Dali's tonight so I'll let you guys know how it goes. It probably won't be a totally fair comparison because I forgot to mention something. I swapped the generic caps in my Paradigms (a single 6.8uf) with MOIP V-caps. I ju... | |
| Best speakers for Primaluna Dialouge 2 "TUBES" I'm using Paradigm Signatures with my Prologue One and love them. I just ordered a Dialogue earlier today and I'm sure it'll match up. Good efficiency too :) | |
| Bottlehead Seduction Phono Stage question Thanks. Have you done any mods or upgrades to your Seduction? I added Mundorf and V-Caps to my Primaluna and the difference was dramatic. I was thinking of doing the same to the Seduction if I get it. | |
| How significant is a power cord upgrade? I just ordered parts for the VH Audio Flavor 2 power cord. Looking forward to hearing the differences. | |
| Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read I got some Mundorf silver/oil caps for my integrated amp and I just ordered some V-caps. I'm very anxious to hear the differences. | |
| How much better is the Scoutmaster vs. Scout? Thanks for all the replies. My Scout is only a couple weeks old so I was able to upgrade for just the difference in cost. I got the ring clamp as well. Can't wait!! | |
| Mundorf silver and oil or VH OIMP for crossover? Wow, I just looked at the measurements and those Mundorf's are huge. I'll have to check to make sure they fit into my enclosure. In the event that they don't, are VH OIMP caps comparible or are there others to look at of the same quality? | |
| Cap value in Paradigm Signature 2? I wrote to Paradigm and they won't release the value (not sure why). Has anyone measured one? I don't have the means to do it myself. | |
| New VPI Scout. Output balance question Yep, I'm having it replaced. Now I have to wait for a new one :( | |
| New VPI Scout. Output balance question Well, it looks like my stylus is out of whack. You can see that the tip is torqued to one side. I'm guessing that's why it's tracking or creating more volume in the right channel? | |
| DIY silver coated copper teflon wire? I whipped up a batch and the interconnects sounds pretty good so far. My Transparent Music Link still beats it, but I only have about 30 hours on the home brew silver/teflon. The Transparent is smoother, a little deeper, not as bright/harsh, and m... | |
| DIY silver coated copper teflon wire? Thanks! I'll be breaking out the soldering iron. | |
| Replacing metal oxide with Vishay/Dale metal film Luckily I've got some FREDs laying around from other projects, along with a HUGE stash of Vishays. I'll definitely replace all of them if they're an improvement. I'll most likely try out the Mundorfs as well, but at a later date since I don't have... | |
| Ultralinear and Triode. What's the difference Thank you, that was very helpful. | |
| Ultralinear and Triode. What's the difference Looking at the newer Primaluna integrated amps, there's an option for switching between modes on the fly. Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade. |
