| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Yes indeed @johnk. I will add that sometimes looking at pictures can be misleading. I have the Fyne F704 speakers which are one model above Jim Smith’s speaker. I have also upgraded the crossovers with top notch parts. I worked with a dealer who ... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Good point on Sonic Craft! Great source. I use a heat gun to remove the adhesive lined heat shrink pretty easily with no mess. Cut a slit being careful not to gouge the connector barrel and then apply heat. The shrink separates and pulls away. Le... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Wow! Just looked. Interesting. The DH Labs is the same part based on my use of them when Vampire was out of stock. They are equally good. PC has far too many out of stocks. | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas I like the Vampire XLR connectors at Parts Connextion for the money. Pure copper and solidly built. If you have the budget, then I bet the ETI’s would sound a bit better. I only used the Vampire in my builds as they represented great sound at... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Parts Connextion is a good choice for adhesive lined heat shrink. I have had good luck with these also, https://www.amazon.com/inch-Adhesive-Diameter-Protector-MILAPEAK/dp/B07CVX4KT4 | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas @rixthetrick I have used ETI RCA plugs only. I liked then. In the end I liked the KLEI just as much for lower cost. I have not tried their bananas and bet they are very good! The Viborg option was based on the great value they represent.... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Erik, the ones I linked you to are a great choice. I have used a plethora of brands over the years. These are the real deal and priced right. The only ones that sound better are the KLEI bananas, but they are fragile and solder only. | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas These are great. Use double walled, adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the barrel as your finishing touch. Sound good and lock in very securely. Build quality is high. https://www.amazon.com/Viborg-Locking-Connectors-Receiver-Amplifiers/dp/... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @larryi Have you heard the latest version of the Horning Aristotle Ellipse PM65. Spectacular! Love to compare it to the Cube Audio offerings. No resistors or inductors in the Horning. Only one cap on the tweeter. True full range performance ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @ricevs That is what I thought! An owner posted he wanted to try Vcap Odams in his set? I started thinking perhaps the driver was concentric. Most sorry for my confusion. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten Sorry, yes I am referring to the video. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I love the sound of both versions! Really wonderful sounding speakers. I found a slight preference for the V2 which sounded a bit more complete to me. However, I would need to be in that room listening to be sure. The Vcap Odams are great in spea... | |
| Best speaker crossover caps for deep, tight, detailed and tactfull bass? I find Audio Note Kaisei non-polar electrolytic caps work great in that position. They will fit easily and sound better than the bottom and lower tier film cap offerings in that position. They just do! Wonderful for bass. Combine a 50 & 22 uf... | |
