| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Correction - New Duelund CAST silver .01uf caps. They are $89 and bypass with the CAST copper to see what you get. I have not tried these and have no idea what they sound like with a CAST copper cap? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Or you can buy the new .001uf Duelund silver bypass caps from Parts Connextion for under $100 and...Steve, let the Jupiter caps break in as they have never sounded the way you describe. They actually have a more airy top end compared to the CAST c... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Joining the DHT SET amp world next week with a unique 845 amplifier designed by Larry Moore of UltraFi. His Monaco 845 design. The 845 tube is not pushed to its max and thus the amp put outs 10 watts, not the typical 20-28 watts per channel. DHT 4... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD You go Charles! Mandate the cars we must drive? Come on, perhaps we better get back to audio folks. The wheels have come of the track here.I let my car warm up here in Minnesota when it is below zero so I don't drive shivering and become a dangero... | |
| Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s Rodmann is right. Many do feel three 5uf caps would sound better however. Some pretty big dollar speakers use this method, but I have not compared. | |
| Capacitor Questions Re-capping Dahlquist DQ-20s 15uf is fine and have them tested and sort for values closer to 14.5uf. Always better to bundle values coming close to 14.5 uf. | |
| Final Thoughts: Muse 100 or Audio Refinement? This is because you are not using a good active preamp. The Muse will be better....best yet is the Muse with a decent tube preamp. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jetrexpro, read up on the Manley Neoclassic amps. They have such a switch and custom tranny. Interesting.Charles, well my speakers never dip below 6 ohms and are about 92db efficient. I also sit nearfield. The key is I don't listen to music at hig... | |
| Which? Muse model 100 amp or Acurus DIA100 integrated? Muse, no contest! | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jet, I am going to build a set of 300b amps or heavily modify an exsisting outstanding specimen. Just doing my research now and learning all I can before I decide on the direction. I came close to building the AN Monoblock amps with the two 300bs ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jet, you are so right and I so do that! Let me share with you my most recent find for the power supply of tube amps and preamps. I have used the large computer grade electrolytics and recently tried the oil types from GE & ASC. I like the oil ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi I am impressed with your patience and dedication to the understanding and building of your amp. I have had to trouble shoot several of my projects of late and was forced to learn. One was particularly difficult to sort out, but I learned so ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... GSM, why the comment? If you are not the kind of person who wants to build, learn, test, fiix and understand your gear, then no you would never do this regardless of the outcome. Testing and trouble shooting gear is part of the process of learning... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Not arguing which sounds better as they both have tradeoffs I have heard in various preamp designs from Coincident, Supratek and others. I just wonder if direct coupled is the best option for sound quality. The scematic looks pretty simple really ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Forgot to mention I bid up to $1250 on that direct coupled set of 300b amps. I just did not want to go higher without hearing them! |
