| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible Some are actually true and helpful. Hard to weed through it all. | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Jantzen Alumen Z. Just combine/paralell for needed total by using as close to equal values as possible. I think the Clarity CSA is a better sounding cap on the mids then the Evo line and should fit using good DIY skills. You can paralell caps of t... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic @maxima95 Too busy filling orders right now, but can easily do it. It is a very simple build really. I can do XLR or RCA. I could use 16 or 20 gauge. I just built a usb cable using this idea. Interesting and more difficult to do right. | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps To my ear and based on years of testing and rolling caps, Mundorf caps with silver, silver & gold and the Evo line are all tilted up in the presence area. For that reason they are just not my cup of tea for mids and highs. This is especially t... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Stereophile has not measured or reviewed the DIs or the Encore. They both sound fantastic and must be heard. We listen with our ears not viewing graphs and numbers with our eyes. They really need to be heard in your space. I think they still offer... | |
| Dear Audiogon, Political posts, if they don’t take over the thread, are left alone quite often. Same with cloths, cars etc..., however once these off topic ramblings completely take over a thread they certainly can and has been removed. | |
| Repair repair vendor will not respond EBM is more direct and predictable. | |
| Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga Runs over 8 feet or so the 12 gauge. 12 gauge Duelund has more bass and mid bass energy as well as increased dynamics. The 12 gauge will give a little more meat on the bones, while the 16 gauge will be lighter on its feet and more nimble. The 16... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Tekton Double Impact and Encore for sure top the list. | |
| Dear Audiogon, They same reason they show ads for clothing, trips, food products, insurance, cars and bunch of other off topic stuff not suitable for this forum. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat When are the flexible collars coming out to wrap around all manner of audio cords? Yes, this is a good idea 🙂 | |
| Replacing my MFA Luminescence B2 preamp Keep that preamp and look at key part upgrades using the very best as that preamp is worthy of the very best. Parts such as Duelund or Jupiter copper foil caps etc... | |
| Specific question choosing Duelund vs Mogami for affordable interconnect If you use better connectors like Eichman or Cardas and the 16 ga wire, then the Duelund can sounds spectacular. Also, how they are built helps. Proper striping of the stranded wire can be tricky to avoid nicks and such. Proper cleaning off the oi... | |
| SPEAKERS JUMPER CABLES Talk to dgarretson as he purchased some bulk 8 or 10 gauge solid core, pure silver wire from Rio Grande jewelry supply. He likes them. I would think they may be a tad hot in the presence area, but again he likes them on his Merlin VSMs. | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible The bulk Duelund 12 gauge is exactly what you are looking for and in budget. Another good one is the Western Electric 10 gauge bulk wire. If you can DIY a set, then go for it. If not, I and others can build you a great looking and sounding set of ... |
