| Thor TA-1000 - inerverting or non-inverting absolute phase? Good for you! Yes upgrade those also! I think that is a great sounding pre for reasonable cost used. | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Tiny Tim | |
| Linestage vs. Preamplifier.... Nicely said and the correct answer Lowrider57. | |
| Thor TA-1000 - inerverting or non-inverting absolute phase? Upgrade the coupling caps and really hear this baby sing. | |
| Thor TA-1000 - inerverting or non-inverting absolute phase? No it does not. Great preamp! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... No connectors are best. High quality connectors are better than average or poor connectors. Few will direct solder like myself, or use the clamping speaker connection suggested, but these are best sonically speaking. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... A good quality breaker costs about $40 and replaces the on/off switch that carries its own cost. No, a great quality circuit breaker will not impact the sound any more than a quality power switch. Another big area for improvement in amps are the b... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks for the pictures. I was going to suggest you use NOS Western electric stranded wire and the new Duelund match. It seems you already knew that! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You are on top of it for sure! Love to know more about the speakers and what amp drives them. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Very impressed with your parts selection and I bet the speakers will sound fantastic based on the care you are taking on the crossover alone. If if you need resistors I know a brand that is to resistors as Duelund is to capacitors. Path Audio resi... |
