| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD DSP in Roon is quite wonderful. Just an FYI. | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Does anyone know what tower cabinet at Parts Express can be used with a GR Research tower kit? My step son would like to build a set of floor standing speakers, but needs a cabinet not just drivers and crossover. He wants floor standers. Thanks. | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? You should should check out Living Voice OBX RW speakers. They are effecient/sensitive with a benign impedience curve. 94db and the impedience does not drop below 6 ohms at any point. In a small room, 12x14 or so, 8 watts is fine. In a larger roo... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? Some caps need as little as 50 hours. It depends on the construction design and physical size. For example, Jantzen Superior Z caps need only 50 hours, however Duelund copper foil (PIO) caps need all of 500 hours. Just the way it is. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? LOL! | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? No, break in requires more time for the extra large caps made by companies like Jupiter Condenser and Duelund. Values for passive crossovers from 5-10uf are the size of Coke cans. These windings take 500 hours of run in and experience from pros pr... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? We all agree everything is important 😉 I will certainly agree that the source is critical as everything else in the chain is dependent on it to sound its best. Great up front gear coupled with a good speaker will yield wonderful results every tim... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wonderful! Most happy for you. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Jupiter Copper foils do come in 2.2uf both in 100v and 600v. They are my favorites over even Duelund CAST. Want to really have the ultimate for less than crazy cost? Combine that 2.2uf Jupiter copper foil cap with the amazing Duelund .01 silver fo... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? The capacitors, resistors, inductors, internal wire, solder joints and binding posts. Capacitors alone take up to 500 hours to sound their best. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? There are far more differences between speakers than amplifiers in terms of the impact they have on the total system’s sound. You must start with the speakers and then match the speakers up with a properly chosen amplifier. Listen to as many speak... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I use the 16ga stranded and tinned wire. It is more full bodied than the 20 gauge and my preference for sure. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA The Duelund wire is not directional. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? @jafant Agreed. I did not call him that, but responded to the exact words of the comment just ahead of mine. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? What does the gentleman’s age have to do with any of this? |
