| Replacing caps in DAC Let us know the values please. Audio Cap Theta is what I am thinking based on experience. | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Great point Ralph, I once owned an amp that was built with one channel wired out of phase. Opened up the amp and quickly figured out that was the issue. | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Yes that also Al. The point is these are all valid points and will in the end sort out the end facts. A system can still sound "good" subjectively out of phase on one or both speakers. I have experienced it. | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Guys it is possible one speaker has been hook up with the leads reversed. This will in fact cause such a sonic character. This is a reasonable course of action. Kind of simple...right? If not the cause, then yes the amp sounds different with the s... | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Check your speaker cables for polarity Jeff. Sounds like a polarity issue. The XLR pins also....may be the issue. | |
| Do I really need Desoldering for replacing resistors/caps? Simply use a $5 solder sucker. Heat up the solder joint and simply use the solder sucking gun to remove the solder. Very easy and effective. | |
| Jupiter-Flat-VT Flat Stacked Wax Capacitors Very good sounding caps indeed. | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Hi group. Seems I am moving and will have lost my dedicated music room. The new space requires our stereo to be in the living room. I cannot have all the rectangular boxes, as my wife says, in this room. That said, I have made up some nice WE 10ga... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Solman989, yes I have bypassed fuses for years with great results in my digital front end gear. See my post above which talks about using high quality circuit breakers for power switches in amps negating the need for any fuse. | |
| ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL So sorry for your loss. If you are close to Minneapolis, MN I would be happy to sell the gear for you on this site. If it is high end gear it can be sold here. I am also willing to help you with the value of your gear if you are far away. Check my... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, it would help LAK. I know as I bypassed the fuse in a CEC transport and it improved the sound nicely. A better fuse will also help as it approaches bypassing a fuse altogether, just not quite as good. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... What I find interesting is why all the fuses in gear? Paul of TRL, RIP, never used fuses in his amps and preamps. No fuse sounds better than any high end fuse. He taught me to build amps and preamps with high quality circuit breaker switches as th... | |
| Paul Weitzel from Tube Research Labs My heart goes out to his family and yes Paul was a genius and wonderful man. His designs completely changed my audio world. I can no longer settle for good or different as his gear and sound was on an entirely different plane of performance. He ne... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? George read my post above yours and give me your thoughts on the Rothwell. Hard to part with my preamp as it was a three month DIY project. They sound fantastic together. I do want to reduce the hiss and think you are absolutely right about too mu... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? I am sure my rig is passive friendly, but I really want to keep my self designed and built tube preamp. The output impedance of my preamp varies with the volume setting. I use a shunt style stepped attenuator made by Khozmo. I measured the output ... |
