| Behind the scenes Audio Research I/50 Very impressive. Thank you for sharing! | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search @in_shore , so you kept your streamer? The Pro-Ject is over $3000 without the upgraded power supply. I would like to buy one, but that is outside my budget by $1000. Love to try one. I understand Underwood does not allow returns or trial? That is ... | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp Not aggressive. Rather forward stage is what I shared. This is relative to other high end caps. Not necessarily a bad thing in some designs, systems or ears. Just not for me and mine. | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search Oh boy. I need one now Charles 😬 Where did you buy it? Do they give a trial period? I gather you will be keeping your new spinner. Please continue to post as it breaks in. Thank you Charles | |
| Sunfire sig 600 or sanders Magtech No, I will buy it for more! 😁 | |
| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp Don of Sach’s now offers the Odams as he really liked them. I have put the Odams in dacs, preamps, amplifiers both SS and tube, and in crossovers . They are wonderful top to bottom. I had a buddy with the nice Sach’s tube preamp. It had the Miflex... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Yes indeed. I want to take that site more seriously, but time after time they show how narrow minded/scoped they are and don’t even do listening tests. It’s like rating food ingredients based on measurements and never really tasting. Certainly see... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Yes Solen Fast caps are made in France. They could very well be used by QS. They are the very definition of modest quality…at best. Dull and flat sounding compared to the better ones mentioned here. Used by many builders because they are very low ... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Agreed. My point is vs Jupiter caps and those are not being carried for other reasons beyond what we want as I understand it.Jeff at Sonic Craft is a great guy and I have learned a great deal from him. Big plus for the industry! I will try the oth... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Wow. The Odams never sound congested in the over 20 units I placed them in. In audio it seems nothing is ever absolute. We get that. I know Jeff at Sonic Craft likes the Miflex. The Jupiter copper caps sound better, but he no longer sells them. He... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? That is funny. I dislike Miflex. Far too forward sounding to me. I replaced them in my integrated amp and past tube dac with Odams. The Odams were clearly better in every sonic parameter. Now Vcaps do take awhile to burn in. Longer than Miflex. W... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 I like UPS and ship with them almost daily. Never an issue. FedEx will suffer from this decision if reported accurately here. | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Yes, the EVO line is not as tipped up. Agreed. I have used them in crossovers where I needed larger values and had little space. | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? I would not use Mundorf film caps for your amps. They are rather tipped up in the upper midrange and can sound a tad too brilliant and artificial. This is compared to the better sounding caps like Vcap Odam, Jupiter copper foil, Jupiter HT and oth... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? Just placed an order from GIK. 45 days out for my hybrid diffusion/absorption/trap panels. My wife approved them as they are quite attractive. |
