| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Nice of the builder to share all that with you! Very nice. I would start by replacing the resistors only. Buy some Path Audio as they are better sounding than the mighty Duelund. Let those settle in an enjoy the improvement. They made a big differ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Here is a link to buy it.....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017UB3PI/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00076HTU6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=06A2AVMSP8QW30CNYRKNComple... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Marqmike, I agree 100% that more builders should do this. The reality is it does cost more, takes up more room, some won't like the added boxes and aesthetics etc...Some builders already put $10 caps and $3 resistors in $10,000-$20,000 speakers. B... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I see, then I would upgrade the caps to Jupiter copper foil and wax and the resistors to Path Audio. This would be a very significant improvement. Go whole hog and place the crossover in a separate box outside the speaker! You could also upgrade t... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I posted this once, but you AGON DIY guys must try this if you have not done it as yet. The single most important sound quality upgrade I have heard is removing the crossover parts from the bombastic vibrating speaking box and making it outboard. ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil NYaudio98Your speaker also comes in a signature version with a better Tweeter. If it fits in the very same cutout, then use that tweeter. Check with the builder. From there you can upgrade the resistors and caps with the very same values. Your bui... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Your speakers are stunning and you are a very talented wood worker/craftsmen. They are the finest DIY speaker cabs I have ever set my eyes on. Congratulations! I assume your values are correct, but must say I question 94uf of capacitance on the mi... | |
| Amp Recommendation for Vienna Acoustics I second the Belles recommendation. Your speakers loves a decent SS amp and there are many.......under $2000 new and used.- Electrocompaniet- Belles- bel Canto ...... I use on my Mozart- Odyssey amps- Van Alstine | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Yes, my statement also said they were high quality trannys made to play within their limited range of greatness. My goodness an amp priced this well, point to point wired, and that is beautiful to look at, has to save $$ somewhere. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Yes, Dick should avoid a gross mismatch for sure. Should he hunt for a 10-16 ohm speaker for the review? No, not so much. I will read the other reviews to see the speakers that were used. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Interesting spec on the Coincident EL34 amp. I think Al is spot on with his answer as to why. It is cost related and gives the builder an opportunity to make the best quality output tranny within a smaller range of ideal operation.A typical SET am... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Junker, I think you will be very pleased with the results. Let us know your initial reaction as well as your impressions after burn in. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? It's always about the amp/speaker synergy...always. That is why, for example, the Inspire amp may not sound as good on a particular set of speakers. All about the synergy. Dennis uses good trannys on his Inspire amps as an FYI.I love this thread a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil After more listening the sound is only better and better with this crossover damping mod. I find I have to turn up to the music a click or two more than usual for the same perceived loudness. I know it is the noise that is now gone and was once ad... | |
| Addendum to Good for you Dan! Perhaps you can find one or two more and store them! I agree 1,000,000% with you and your feeling about computers as they relate to music. I have enough of them at work etc.....Give me those discs and let me relax. |
