| Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve Need the 600v Jupiter. 100v is for speaker crossovers. Expect the Duelund silver to improve everything top to bottom considerably. The impact they have is substantial improving the SQ of the output cap position by some 20%. | |
| Is there a better integrated amp than the Cary SI-300.2d for the money? The Lyngdorf 2170 is absolutely wonderful. It is far more than an integrated amp however. No need for a dac either. The room correction is state of the art and a game changer. I replaced $18,000 worth of top rated separates and wire with it. Sound... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @porcheracerA great SS preamp for reasonable money used, under $1000, is the Bel Canto Pre 3. Absolutely wonderful. Neutral in the best way and so smooth! ! For more money the Rowland Capri in it’s various versions is very good indeed. About $1800... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Just an update on the modifications I completed on the 300 and 150. Adding the DC blocking circuit did not bring about additional sound quality improvement. It did however quiet down the transformer in the 300 and the transformer in my integrated ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes we have several very good choices. The deHavilland UltraVerve 3 Preamplifier is a great 6sn7 choice. The First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk III Tube preamp for sale here is another 6sn7 great choice. It will sound better than the UltraVerve, but i... | |
| Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve Ok here is what you do if you have the money. The total capacitance needed should be between 1.8uf - 2.8uf. Best option;1) Jupiter copper foil caps 2.2uf. $200 for both at Sonic Craft. Place the Duelund .01uf silver foil bypass caps in parallel. $... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grey9hound Sorry, I knew you owned the DIs and had a brain fart. Read too fast. I would love to stop by and listen. I will contact you through Agon so we can determine a best day and time. Thank you so much!Bill | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grey9hound I live in Franklin, TN and want the same opportunity! Want to split the cost on a new pair with each of us listening for a month? We can decide who keeps this pair and the other can decide if they want to buy a set after auditioning. J... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Do you think these would be good as output caps in a preamp or coupling to output in an amp? | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? The circuit needs to break in before I know if it has any impact on the sound quality. Right now I would say I am hearing a slight improvement in air and Micro details. Could all be in my head 😁However, all my toroidal transformers are dead quiet... | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... Yes give him his money back. You don't need this hassle in your life. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Well I placed a DC blocker circuit inside both my 150 and 300 to tame the hum/buzz in my 300 and remove the hum/buzz in my amplifier transformers. It worked like a charm. The 300 as well as my amplifier are dead quiet! Awesome. The DC blocker is v... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... You scare me and I would never take you up on such a ridiculous offer. Strangest thread I have been part of in all my considerable time here on the Gon. Doug, I must leave this thread and look forward to your review brother. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Correct Al. Strange how folks assume they have more knowledge, experience, or wisdom on certain matters then all others or even certain others. | |
