| Can Tube Amps be Used for Home Theater? I like tubes in home theatre, but only with 90 db or higher efficency speakers. I have also used tubes just for the center channel to good effect.....input sensitivity was matched at 100k. I like to bi-amp as well with tubes driving the top end, S... | |
| A quick sense of the kt120 tube They were matched non cryo tubes. Jallen | |
| A quick sense of the kt120 tube In comparison with my favorite in this genre, the kt 120 is slightly warmer, fuller, relaxed, and give up a bit of top end detail to the winged C 6550. The kt 120 is a great tube, sonically and a great alternative to others. I find the 120 better ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Once the original signal goes to the mic, accuracy is lost, engineer twiddling on the eq also departs from accuracy. So the question should be..... what screws up the signal less, digital or analog. The high rez digital I have heard recently equal... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I have heard the V-caps in enough circuits and compared with many other caps to feel comfortable stating that they are very neutral, and I hear no edge (with the exception of the first 300 hrs.) And, any " bright sound" has been traced to other pa... | |
| Dumb questions? Don't damage the Nestorovic speaker posts. The driver has to be removed to replace the post...and the drivers are glued in...a major job. Spade on one or even maggie pins work on the other. Jallen Po | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I have tried the RTX and found them to be a bit compressed sounding, lacking space between instruments. The V-Caps were shrill out of the box, and then went dark at about 200 hours, and at somewhere between 400-500 hours, they became glorious, and... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I have heard good things about the REL's, but have read several reviews where the V-Caps were the preferred caps. What was your break-in time for both caps, and what technique did you do to break them if you did. I have used many caps in the past ... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? Have any of you had opportunity to compare the copper or tin caps(v-caps) with others? | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? This is a sad day for audio. The quick dollar seems to trump long term market viability. One more reason for the consumer to feel duped and cynical. Kudos to Audiogon for allowing the discourse and exposure. Jallen | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I am surprised to Parts Connexion is on radio silence for this discourse. Are they even aware? There are some good names, hard earned reputations at stake here. | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? Grant Fidelity, My reference was to the 1/20/2012 post. You clarified this in the 1/31/2012 post. My point was with the 1/20/2012 post, there seemed to be some confusion as the statement was made after cutting a cap open at Grant Fidelity and the ... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I had hoped to hear from one or more of the other manufacturers as to what adequate product information should be expected. This information, without disclosure of intellectual property, can greatly assist purchasing decisions for consumers. Jallen | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? On the 1/20/2012 post, the comment from Grant Fidelity stated "I am no plastic expert, but the film does look like teflon". Why not at this time just tell us that the dielectric is BoPet/Polyester Film. It seems that at this time there was some un... | |
| Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes? I have received a segment from a copper teflon capacitor courtesy of V-Cap, and I have a foil copper segment from the Psvane. I will e-mail the photo to Grant Fidelity and if needed, mail the foil segments . I can say, the feel of both is not the ... |
