| Klipsch Cornwall IV I'm in Chicagoland and happy to host anyone that wants to hear them. Mine are, however, sporting upgrading caps and resistors in the crossovers and upgraded binding posts--if that matters. | |
| Check Your Tidal Accounts for Unauthorized Users/Fees @soix ---Ha ha ha ha ha!!! @tony1954, I'm now in your camp. Also, since we are piling on about Tidal, what's with the demographic of their music picks, charts, etc? There's little, if any, curated music or content presentations for anything tha... | |
| Check Your Tidal Accounts for Unauthorized Users/Fees Interesting @jsd52756. All I know, is that I want to be done with Tidal. Spotify's interface is clearly better. Qobuz has great sound. What is Tidal brining to the table? | |
| Good fix-- Have you scratched the wood on your Cornwall IVs? thank you tvad! I should've taken before and after photos. | |
| How I Beat the System to Nab an Unbeatable System Whoops, I forgot.... Hope you are listening to gobs of music old, familiar, new and so on!!! Enjoy what you did! | |
| How I Beat the System to Nab an Unbeatable System Congrats. I'm glad the mods worked out for you in spades. I used Auricaps as an upgrade to a kit I built a while back. They were on par with some more expensive stuff by popular boutique makers.While I can't speak to the sonic potential of each... | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? @davekine, You pose good questions. I say they are good because you are thinking about it correctly and there are no clear answers. Disclaimer--I'm good at spending other peoples money--or so my wife says. That out of the way, I'd upgrade as m... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 I do not have Linndrum808's extensive experience with as many DACs as he/she, but I can say the Doge 7 is wonderful. I did, however, have a Stereophile class A DAC before and some other great ones coming through my room--all of them lost to the Do... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I agree that maybe a separate thread is required for some of the sub-subjects discussed here. @dbarger, I very much understand where you are coming from. You make good points about resale and the speaker being great as is. I would, however, note ... | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? DK, I think what is going on with Wharfedale is much simpler than a potential strategic move to keep the Linton from competing with the Elysian. My theory is that the speaker was built to a price point where they figured out the profit margin the... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC @dvdboulet, The Chinese tubes that ship with it are really quiet, decent tubes. I really like new/reissue Gold Lions throughout it, as an easy choice (both the 12AT7s and 12AX7s), but I got some "butt ugly" RCA 12AT7s from Brent Jesse that sound r... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jjss49, Sure thing. 1. Output Coupling Caps: Four (4) .68uF 630v ClarityCap CMRFour (4) .1uF 630v ClarityCap CMRAvailable at PartsConnexion.2. 2 Caps on Pre/Gain Tubes. Note, I don't have a schematic so I'm taking my best guess as to what cap... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I wrapped the ODAM bodies with black silicone electrical tape. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Seal-Self-Fusing-Silicone-Tape/dp/B08B3JSJF3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&key...=I honestly didn't glue every last piece down. I realize ... | |
| Sonics? All Things Must Pass -50th Anniversary yes, it does tablejockey!I was hoping for a bit more on the sound side. It seems others agree. That demo record Dahni released sounds spooky real and good, showcasing Harrison like I haven't really heard--if in his Beatles years he was usually b... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV There’s no question in my mind that the CW IV crossover can be easily bettered with more substantial parts. The caps and resistors are run of the mill. Careful here--I’m not saying that leads to run of the mill sound. See my post on modifying the ... |
