| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? I took Lewm's advice, but I also did a bit of math and consulted some smart dudes on DIY forums. I went from 30, down to 3.3uF, as it did appear that cap was way overkill. Still breaking things in (and I only dry fitted the 3.3uFs). Things are p... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV The PathAudio resistors have been ordered. I'm close to pulling the trigger with Chris at VCap. I've damped the high, mid and bass ports. I've managed to use my existing Auralex Subdude II isolation pads under them--they actually fit even though... | |
| Decoupling for Cornwall IV's Guys, FYIThe larger Auralex Subdude does fit under the platform of the CWIV. It's left to right measurement "appears" to be about 1" shy of ideal--but when I looked at the CWIV bottom platform base, it is made of 3/4" plywood/MDF, which means you... | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? @Lewm, The Chinook uses a 30uF cap on the outputs to RCA. I'm thinking of trying a 10uF. | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? +1 itsjustme. | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? I use Auralex Subdude platforms. Things sound more defined, controlled and right with them. | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Agreed jtcf. I just put 12au7s across V1-V8 in my tube DAC, which specifies 12ax7s and 12at7s. I dislike messing with what the designer intended but I have gain coming out my ears over here. | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Yes, and I wish I had a dollar for all the times people tell me, well buy a preamp with gain adjustment. Sure, they exist but I don't think even premium ubiquitous brands, like Audio Research, offer the feature. The digital side is horrendous in ... | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. Thought I read he may be selling this ride soon for $1.5M per minute—to consumers. | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread @daveyf , good!! It’s interesting how well he’s recorded too. I’ve tried to play slide guitar, in particular in the Delta style. I’m not good. I do know a resonator sounds and Doug MacLeod’s records have those types of tones and timber-matching nu... | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread It's 3 months later and I'm still hanging out here alone in the Doug MacLeod appreciate thread! At least I have him playing over the hifi. Cheers! | |
| The Beatles - Remastered Music - any updates ? Can’t wait to hear Dhani’s authorized rework. The demos he released are spooky good. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Great information Don! Yes, I find the hardest part of the surgery to be the put back—placing things just so can be tricky and when done right it looks easy. Deceptively easy. Parts Connexion is out of one of the Path resistors I need. That will ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier An update on the differences between the stock Suntan brand caps and the new VCap CuTF and ClarityCaps---With the stock caps, I had a massive soundstage; nicely holographic. With the new caps, the soundstage is just as big but the things going on... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV +1 Roxy and Donsachs. I agree. I think I'll stop on damping them--the horns and bass ports are good enough for now. I also like the sound with grills on. Donsachs, I completed a coupling cap upgrade to my amp and the CWIVs sound incredible. I ... |
