| Klipsch Cornwall IV @raindog69, I have some photos that I could share. I performed a similar if not identical upgrade as donsachs. I would say this is an intermediate level project. I didn't find it terribly challenging on the skill level, but I did find it taxed... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC Yes!!! JJSS is in the house and ready t review! Love it. This is a wonderful piece of gear. I’m confident you’ll find it clear and musical. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @roxy54 , I finished that today. Wow. I should've just done it when I had the speakers open and apart. There was very little of the Audioquest wire they used to wire them to the posts available to strip and solder. My soldering iron is taking ... | |
| Vincent Audio tube preamp SA-T7 & SP-332 power amp I'm trying to figure out which of the WIMA 4.7uF caps are connected to the output side of things and if any are on the inputs. Hard to read the PCB with all that's going on in the circuit. VCap ODAMs would be so good here. | |
| V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like @OP, I have used the ODAMs in set of crossovers, a phono pre, and a preamp. The preamp is setup with binding posts so cap rolling is an easy affair on the power supply filter caps and the output coupling caps. So, I can easily compare different... | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? Lewm exactly! Well said abs better than I could put into words. I used VCap ODAMs in that position. Easy surgery. | |
| Carver and Tube Life I cannot comment on the Silver Sevens. I do, however, own the Carver Crimson 275 amp, which carriers a long warranty on tubes. I have made some amps and modify stuff for fun. I can tell you that, while I'm not familiar with the circuits involved... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @fmalitz, Hope all is well with you! Your curriculum vitae is impressive indeed! Thanks for dropping by these humble parts. I trust you know, from my correspondence and previous phone call or two, that I respect everything you, EJ, and Bob have... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV One more thing-- The crossover PCB is very high quality. Huge traces, thick board, giant through holes. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Crossovers: I've now completed the crossover upgrade, including all caps to VCap (with exception of that 60uF linked to the woofer output) and Path Audio resistors. Dampening: I've also damped the tweeter, midhorn, and bass ports. After knocking... | |
| Why have capacitors improved so much over the years? jfd11, hmmm, you have to tell us the name or it's like it never happened. | |
| Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo What wonderful musical ideas they had. Thanks for posting the link to the video. | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? Deadhead is spot on the money. | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? I also replaced 3 of the 4 ceramic cast resistors on the power supply side for Mills 10w military spec. I removed the 3.3uF and put in a 12uF. I think the 12uF sounds better, but I'm not sure why. Maybe Manley was on to something with the 30uF-... | |
| Three cheers for Keith Herron @OP, that is a wonderful evening! Thank you for sharing. That's exactly the sentiment and fact pattern needed around these parts. I, for one, have never owned any Herron gear. But, I would love to try some out. He seems to understand circuits ... |
