| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Thanks Al.Here is why I ask. I mod lots of gear and usually hear differences. I have modified this unit removing those Wima .47uf caps at the output. I replaced them with some decent Jupiter HT caps. I did hear an improvement and that is fine. How... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? @almarg ,I have a question for you. The Lyngdorf does use a very small inductor and .47uf cap on the output just before the speaker binding posts. How important do you think the quality, sound wise, of the cap is in this position? Since the entire... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Wondering if you guys have tried using the new Duelund silver foil bypass cap .01uf in electronics. Right now I have them with some Jupiter foils caps on the output of my amp. Just added the Duelund so I can compare to the Jupiter alone. Thus far ... | |

| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Audioman58, could not find this builder doing a Google search? | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Charles, no doubt your speakers are much easier to drive then my old TVll's. Your speakers do not show up used very often, if at all. I used to look for them a couple of years ago. | |
| Tekton Elelctron speakers Very nice review and thanks for taking the time! | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Thor TPA 30s. Great, great amps. First Watt M2 smooth and warm. Neither had enough omph when at times. Then an I got some TRL Samson monoblock amps and things just opened up with no more sense of tentative or nervous sound. These were 200 watt S... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? I owned the Coincident Total Victory II and found they also needed more watts to sound their best. However, I know Charles1dad has had, and continues to have, stellar results with his 8-10 watts on his set of Coincident Speakers. I am sure he will... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy The best wire I have heard, and I have owned many, is the Duelund bulk stranded copper in oil impregnated cotton. Wonderful sounding with many of us Aphiles selling off cables costing up to $2500 for this stuff. Jeff Day and Jim Smith both love an... | |
| TACT 2150 I have the newer 2170 that Lyngdorf makes and agree with your comments on it. Lyngdorf does offer support now in the US. | |
| CD players = dead? I don't think sound quality is the issue anymore. I ripped all my cd's and they sound the same, perhaps a tad better than a CD player due to reduced jitter. Perhaps a tad, but pretty much the same. However Tidal when used with Roon is special. Sou... | |
| CD players = dead? I listen to whole albums when I want when streaming? Just as easy to skip forward on a CD player. Just as easy. Remote and one press of a button. ? | |
| "One Box Solutions" - Suggestions ? You must look into the Lyngdorf 2170. An amazing piece. Neal over at Sound Science can tell you more. We both replaced separates costing over $20,000 and like the Lyngdorf better. It has a DSD dac and SOTA room correction. Your wife will love the ... |
