| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? Yes indeed. Stock sand cast resistors that sound relatively grainy compared to the Mills MRA or the even better Path Audio resistors. The Mills would only cost builders some $4 each, but instead they use $ .25-40 cent crappy sand cast resistors. T... | |
| How do you use Tidal with you local library? Plus Roon as some great DSP capabilities! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Awesome Geils LPs! | |
| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? @mofojo . It does amaze how many, if not most, speakers that retail for up to $30,000 use $ .40 cent resistors and $7 capacitors. I mod and upgrade speakers for myself and clients and see this all the time. The sonic gains realized with a few well... | |
| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? Living Voice is another company that uses outboard crossovers. Other benefits beyond vibration control include...- More room for proper spacing of inductors. Far too many speakers have them jammed together due to limited space and this negatively... | |
| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? Some speakers do have a separate compartment such as the Dali Epicon line. Great way to keep the parts out of direct proximity of the bombastic cabinet. Nola and others use outboard crossovers which add wiring complexity, but totally removes the ... | |
| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? The parts used today are simply on an entirely higher level of quality and performance. Just this fact alone means much has changed with amplifiers over the years. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I would prefer placing them inside the speaker so they don’t mess with the aesthetic appeal of the speakers. My wife would not allow them on the outside :)Perhaps they would also be more effective internally? Remove a woofer or two and carefully... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Hi Alex. Cannot say for sure as I did not do a side by side, cap to cap direct comparison. I was lucky enough to compare both as bypass caps with a .47uf Jupiter copper foil in the same piece of gear. The Sn-Cu has more of that special musicali... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Big Amen and well said @rodman99999! | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact You would think, but the designer says they work great in small rooms as do some owners. Worth a call to Eric the man at Tekton. | |

| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact I owned both over the years. I honestly think the DIs offer more of everything important to a music lover. In many ways they are just on a higher level of performance. Vandys are great, I love pretty much the whole line, but the DIs play with the... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? That is what I mean about lack of noise. I am not referring to buzz or hum or other annoying noises, but noise in the music that obscures details and purity. When noise is reduced transparency improves greatly! | |
