| 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. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? When I take temps in my preamp (tube) I have never read temps any higher than 90 - 102 degrees F. If the room temp is 75 degrees, then I assume no issue? For cost and hassle reasons the thought of an LDR is very interesting. Shallco attenuators ar... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Last question. What temp fluctuations are you assuming in these cases? How hot? Over 90 degrees F? Thanks... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George, are you saying that a DIY guy like me really cannot place an LDR volume control in a tube preamp. It would be interesting to compare to a nice Shallco stepped attenuator. Would LDR actually sound better then a Shallco in a top notch active... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... Wow, this seems so straight forward and captain obvious. Ya, put the darn watts per channel in the ad as it is an amp after all! Are we really arguing this?Oh my, no way we humans will avoid falling over the pending fiscal cliff and this thread is... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Awesome to hear. Yes, you have a great combination to be sure. Happy for you and enjoy!If you don't know, Paul makes power cables for the Dude and Samson's that really bring them to life. You may have them already, if not they may be the final ste... |
