Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence
Seems that works for your interests Erik, but others enjoy differing aspects of this hobby. We are not all the same with the same audio/music desires or curiosities. Some love the music plus these other aspects of audio. All good. This site is abo...

Yes, many use Wima as they are decent and inexpensive. It’s a cost issue and manufacturers must hit a cost and price point. Also a form issue. They are perfectly sized and proportioned for circuit boards. Also many high end manufacturers use VH Au...

But as owners consistently say, we love how they make our systems sound. What else is more important here?

Yes they are and keep enjoying them! Just different flavors of great tasting ice cream. Often comes down to personal preference and system/room synergy. Many variables as we know.

Well hello again. Yes sir, try Wima on your own folks and see they are flat sounding and mediocre at best. Others have reviewed the Wima and found the same. Best to learn for yourself fellow Agoners. They are not expensive to try.

Odams are great in speakers. Be aware of break in time as it is real with these Odams.  They take some 75-100 hours to fill in and open up.  A tad constipated sounding on first few hours.  After just 30 hours much better.  They are directional so ...

I did not, but could be interesting.  I have the Townshend Pod products only.

Well I have owned the Star Sound Sistrum and Townshend Pod products and have heard first hand the differences each approach has to the resulting sound. Speakers on a hard wood floor with crawl space under the house. The Star Sound Sistrum platform...

Great posts guys. This is what I love about AudioGon. Wonderful stuff. #2 and #4 have been a big part of my listening journey.  I still have more to learn and enjoy the process.

My favorite capacitor is the Duelund CAST tinned copper version.  They are available at HiFi Collective in the U.K.   They ship fast however.  Next is the Odam and then Jupiter copper foils.

Odams are simply more real sounding than Jupiter copper foils. Improved realism. The stage is more open and speakers disappear more than Jupiter. Bass has more impact with the Odams. The Odams are more dynamic. Odams are more at ease and in perfec... 
How long does Class A have?
Seems there is no hope for us here. Censorship has nothing to do with this. The stated rules are not being followed or enforced. I blame Agon.I won’t join in and like many will slowly stop visiting this forum. Sadly this is no longer a place to co... 
How long does Class A have?
Can we stop it with these extreme political statements on this site. Come on guys. This is not the place to keep acting out your hostile political fears and insecurities. This site is for audio. I try to come here to escape this sort of behavior. ...

Vcap Odams are the better choice, vs Jupiter, as I use both in speaker and electronics applications.  Not close.  This is something I can say with 110% confidence. You will like the Jupiter, no doubt, but miss out on what the Odams do better.

The sound starts with your audio system’s home wiring, grounding, circuit, outlet and conditioning. You also forgot the fuse!
