| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Ooh, Dave, trying to be cute, or just nasty? The test instruments were indeed our ears.. | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Why? Because it's not good enough for the money, that's why. Here http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/108269.html is a longish note about a cable test my GEA friend and I did.M1000i failed the test as being audible when inserted into ... | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? Dracule, I use the M-Cap Sup. S/Os in my ASL 805DTs as couplers--a 2.7- and a 0.47/1200. I use M-Cap Supremes, a 6.8- and a 0.47/800 in parallel, as a bypass on the final B+ rail for the output stage. I can't tell you exactly how these particular ... | |
| Tchaikovsky symphony 5 favorite recording Daniel Gatti's with the Royal PO on Harmonia Mundi SACD 807381. Read http://www.highfidelityreview.com/reviews/review.asp?reviewnumber=13569094; Mr. Jordan says it lots better than I. Great recording too--very natural and atmospheric.. | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? What are the cap values?. | |
| Tubes for Antique Sound Labs 805 DT Mono Block Amp Jmorey, I finally compared the 2 amps, one stock and one modified.The modified amp is less edgy/grainy/gritty sounding when reproducing the sounds of instruments with a lot of high-frequency harmonics, such as massed violins. Also, the modded amp ... | |
| Tubes for Antique Sound Labs 805 DT Mono Block Amp The worst I can say about Chris is that sometimes he's too busy to respond quickly to e-mails and that he seems a bit disorganized often--perhaps the result to being too busy and now with a very pregnant wife/partner. He's done everthing he said h... | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? What are the cap values? Some are QUITE large, and replacing with, say, TRT D-Caps would cost hundred$.Personally, I've been very satisfied with NorthCreek Zens in large values--they seem a little smoother than, say, SCR/Solens/Axons--with TRT D-C... | |
| Help adding Vcaps to Jolida JD100 CD player I'm with Raul, here. That player may be 'optimized', but it's definitely to a price point. I don't know what this Jolida CDP retails for, but including LOTS-better caps could easily increase its retail price by several-hundred dollars.Capacitors i... | |
| Help adding Vcaps to Jolida JD100 CD player Thwang, do you have or can you point me to a schematic diagram for it?. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? TYVM, Lazarus. It started as a 2-channel audio system; I added the multichannel stuff for movies, but the multichannel classical and film music sounded SO good--natural, spacious--that my in-remission audiofoolia reared its ugly head. I replaced t... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? "Hey Jeffreybehr. With 2 channel, music still arrives at our 2 ears from all directions. And live music *starts* its journey to our ears typically from in front of us, not all around us. So what's your point?"My point is that an equally good 4- or... | |
| Tubes for Antique Sound Labs 805 DT Mono Block Amp I'm pretty sure the version I have, with the plate cap, is the very latest one; I also believe the the nice folk at JSV believe what they told you. (BTW I bought my used Quad 989s from them--drove from Phoenix to get them; they're very nice people... | |
| Gallo Ref3 - 2nd voice coil I don't know why you couldn't use the other 2 channels, but I THINK you'd need to drive the active crossover/low-pass filter with full-range signals. You'd then send the low-frequency signals to the poweramp-inputs. The LP-filter would have the ne... | |
| Tube Biasing: do I have to? They're already receiving some bias Voltage, just not the the correct amount (probably).If they're overbiased, they'll wear out more quickly and maybe even glow red and blow. If they're underbiased they won't sound as good as they should.Why would... |
