| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Over at the Humble Capacitor review site they liked it fine giving it a rating of 8 which is pretty average. Not poor, not great like many “boutiques”. That jives with my experience with these in both crossovers and electronics. They are pretty ... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Glad you like them. I would not paint with the broad brush you use saying all boutique caps are a joke. I tried Wima and they are nothing special to me. Certainly no Vcap Odam or Miflex copper foil! This is all subjective based on your ears, pr... | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? Yes, use a dremel tool. I have had to do this several times. Just work slowly and carefully checking for fit periodically. If the spades are not very thick you can carefully widen with needle nose pliers being very careful. Thin spades are easy... | |
| 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. | |
