| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Well, yes the Dude still abides in my system and will stay! I tried a Bent product a couple of years ago that only had one input if I recall. The best passive I have tried was the Lightspeed. If money was my number one issue, and I needed to obtai... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre In a system friendly to passives including a good autoformer type the music can be very good indeed. To some the sound is ideal, and based on personal preference, better then actives they have tried in the same system. Reasonable conclusions based... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Please use your own advice and read my statement. I clearly stated in a passive friendly system. You are welcome to your opinion and others will rightly find your conclusion pure hyperbole. | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Amazing to me that one auto former line stage simply kills all other actives period. Wow, how have you found the time to listen to every single preamp made since the beginning of time in all the near infinite number of systems friendly to such a d... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have compared the CAST to the Alexander and in my tube preamp the CAST were far better. Not close really. The Alexander almost sounds noisy and edgy compared to the CAST. Yes, the CAST cap may well be the best sounding cap of all time. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well I decided to try CAST caps in my TRL modified Sony CD player. TRL already did significant mods to this unit including a battery power supply for the DAC section.The output caps were cheap electrolytic types. Very small in size and 100uf value... | |
| Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF? I replaced the white MKP Mundorf electrolytics. Bass was improved because it sounds better with the Clarity SA caps and replacing one large 100uf cap with several smaller ones in parallel provides for better sound. I would not bypass at all on thi... | |
| Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF? Also, use Clarity SA caps instead ........ I just did this replacing the same large value Mundorf with great results. | |
| Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF? Atma, your post is most interesting to me. First I have heard of this idea. Thanks.Eugene, if that large 100 uf cap is for the bass and I am sure it is, then do this. Use 4-6 smaller value Mundorf mkp's in parallel to reach your 100 uf value. This... | |
| By-pass fuse and add a circuit breaker Best gear I have ever heard do not use fuses period. They implement costly, not cheap, circuit breakers.I respectfully disagree with the over generalized posts here. Yes, it can be done and it will yield sonic improvement. Al, I really respect you... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Small world indeed. | |
| Is it too much to ask.... Ha! Love it and Amen.... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Dgarretson, your the Man! I just looked at your system with all the mods. Very nice job indeed. I have started the whole DIY thing and am learning. I would love to visit with you on how to try the LDR mod as well as how you made your speaker cable... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09,As an FYI. I now own a Music Reference RM9 MKII that I modified with Duelund CAST caps. Based on comments from you and others I thought I would try it. I love this amp! Very musical and engaging. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks Clio09. I will check with him and his results. |
