| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? E-mail Jeffrey Glowacki of Sonic Craft for advice. He knows more about crossover parts than ALL of us put together.mail@soniccraft.com. | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? I too wouldn't mix brands of caps between the 2 positions, and I wouldn't use Clarity caps if they were free.Mundorf SOs are fine. If the caps are too large in diameter to reach the board, use a half-inch-square chunk of wood on the board as a spa... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Byron, the approximate voltage-rating minimum for x-over caps is about FIFTY. 250VDC caps are used by manufacturers because they're available. 100s and 200s will work perfectly.One can always use higher-power-rated resistors to replace lower-rated... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon--of course you're free to take this advice--or not--as you wish, but--1. Stay away from Clarity Caps. That's what I removed from my Avanti tweeter filters. 'Clarity' my a...er...eye. I've been playing with caps for about 40 years. The SoniCa... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? J indicates value tolerance; I don't know what exactly 'J' means, but I"m sure someone does.. | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon, help us help you by tracing a schematic diagram of all sections of the x-over. It's really easy to tell you to replace all the film caps with other expensive film caps, but that does no one except the cap seller any good. If you think that'... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Pavane 845-T tube? http://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=tubes&n=233594&highlight=shuguang+845&r=&search_url=%2Fcgi%2Fsearch.mpl%3F. | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? ...and trace the MR section(s) too. Caps and resistors in series with that driver(s) definitely add bad stuff to and subtract good stuff from the music.BTW what do you think your speakers are worth, generally?Just tonite I finished the covers for ... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon, you need to remove the board and trace the schematic, at least for all devices connected in any way to the tweeter outputs. Then you'll know if you have a 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-order filter and if there are any resistors in the circuit, etc. I... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? First, e-mail c-j... service@conradjohnson.com ...and ask for a copy of the schematic for your unit.I imagine the reason c-j doesn't offer a Teflon-cap upgrade for this preamps is twofold--the caps are BIG and probably there's not enough space for... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Yup; done this sort of thing often, most recently in a pair of Audio Physic Avanti IIIs. In those, the 2 caps in series with the tweeter were a 6.8uF and a 15uF. I replaced both with the highest-quality-composite cap I chose to afford, and this ti... | |
| Mono Amps Gmardinly, a price range might help us help you.Rwwear, the SM70Ps do NOT have to be driven by a balanced cable to be bridged into mono. They have a bridging switch for use with the RCA input.. | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? Masi61, an update, but first a correction--The SE-100 is no longer available, and the SE-160 and SE-250 poweramps are the hybrids.The SM70 Pro is a stereo amp that's bridgeable via the RCA or the XLR/balanced input. In stereo it's 25WPC into 8 and... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? ...jeez, Jeffrey, spell much? Sorry, hit the wrong button.. | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? IMO Hifibri's got it..."The more one listens to different types of live music, with different types of instruments, in different spaces, the more one realizes 'the sound' is always different, yet there is usually always that warmth of tone. Since ... |
