| What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement?? Synergistic Research Black fuses. | |
| Best standalone music server? Yes Neal at Sound Science is first rate and his systems are also first rate! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Great parts Volleyguy1. You should be thrilled with the results. I am confident of that.@salectric I ended up using a mix of Duelund and Mills resistors. I finished the highs/mids board in my Crescendo speakers and have about 150 hours on them. T... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Fact XLR is not better necessarily for common or usual runs of 1/2 meter to 1.5 meter. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Mitch2, I must admit I would love to hear the Clayton amps! Just out of my budget. I always look and relook and any used ones that come it. They are rare however. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Sorry Gary. I see you posted a quote from another person. My mistake. I like to read Wolf's posts and find him very entertaining actually. Wolf you have this one wrong however. Sorry. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gary, sorry but really? Just like filter caps, chokes, and diodes all these power supply parts impact the resulting sound. The fuse is part of the power supply. If you doubt it, then build the exact same tube amp with common cheap electrolytic cap... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Peter thank you so much. I will leave all alone except upgrading the sandcast resistors. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? @pbnaudio and others. The two 8 inch woofers are parallel wired. I have drawn out the circuit and taken photos of the board. Please take a look. The 1000uf caps, smaller inductor, and 8 ohm resistor all seem to be included parallel to the amps out... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Thanks Ralph. Great points and well said. | |
| Why Single-Ended? John nailed it, +1. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? I understand completely Peter. Thanks for sharing that link. I love the idea of building a nice kit like that. Great idea. I think the designer of my speaker did what was reasonable with the bass board. No doubt about it. I like thinking and plann... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? You are right that the dreaded caps still manage to produce great bass. Design is always the most important factor. This parts thing is next, but still important. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Ha! Charles, I can’t resist😀 I do honestly believe the bass can be improved with even the low cost battery bias mod. I know JBL and Vandersteen do it with great results. Peter who makes wonderful PBN speakers also shared it would be an improvement... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Well my speaker does use two 1000uf caps per speaker so you are saying to bundle film caps and replace those electrolytics? The cost will be outrageous and I am not sure for bass frequencies it is worth it. Just imaging buying 20 -100uf caps per ... |
