| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I should also share that my system has never sounded this good. The Alexander caps are wonderful. They are extended, open, airy and so transparent. Bass is tight and so fast and powerful. I am thrilled with these and glad I decided to go for them!... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Duelund Alex caps are sounding much better. I found the issue and this is one to learn from. My SS amp has a very low input impedance while my tube preamp has a relatively high output impedance. Well, I tied another SS amp with 100k input impe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Actives also need to be well matched with the amp. My cuurent tube active was a poor match to the Sunfire Signature amp which has an input impedance of 24k ohms.The bass was muted and highs were etched. The Sunfire amp does not sound this way at a... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Need to look at the voltage output of the source compared to the voltage input needed for the amp - sensitivity rating. This is also very important. An active preamp will be needed if the amp's voltage need is higher then the source's output volta... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Seems to be heating up again. Teajay, you're bold to try and speak for some middle ground on this thread. Many that post here are very reasoned and good folks. Like you have said in several of your recent posts, the issue is not with most of the s... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? Mr_mCan't expect everyone to understand these deeper matters. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ok, the Alexanders have about another 80 hours on them for a total of about 200 hours. The high are getting much better and the bass is much better. Very strange burn in road these are traveling, but they are starting to sound very good indeed.I w... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow,Understand your point. I guess I am wondering why the bass that was so great after 24 hours has left the room after 124 hours? If the bass does not come back I will agree with you that even this Alexander PIO has weak bass. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow,These are made for electronics? 900V rating and said by Duelund to be perfect as coupling caps? Anyway...Have some bass back, but the highs are still a little thin and bright.The Ampohm PIO's sound great, in fact much better then the Teft... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Fact is I am so upset - "Having such a high level of fustration that I completely forgot to pronounce/spell the first "R" in the word "frustration" :-) | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My Duelund Alex caps sound poor after 120 hours and sounded glorious after 30 hours.My bass. Is now all but gone? I am really fustrated and will let them burn in another 100 or more hours. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ok, I hope you folks can tell me if what I am going through is normal with these new Duelund Alexander caps. I purchased a new set of 3.3 uf Alexanders for use as coupling caps in my tube preamp. After about 24 hours they sounded darn good to me. ... | |
| Modern Linestages Pubul57I think you do know the answer for NAD. Small margin, but very high volume over many years. Just a different business model and marketing strategy. Bet NAD sold/sells more units then the Constellation preamp in one day part.In addition the ... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? The 8 foot ficus tree idea came from Dr. West the man who designed my Soundlab speaker. This particular tweek is a universally accepted way to diffuse the sound coming from the back of my speaker. He actually sells a tall device that diffuses, but... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? Well I "feel" they diffuse as, well, they do. I pulled the 8 foot trees out from behind my Soundlab speakers to a/b vs. them in place and they do indeed work!Maybe placement behind Soundlab speakers is the only way they work, but they do work in t... |
