| any experience/opinions about Obbligato caps? One last chance for the Mundorfs this weekend, will have well over 300 hours on them.What value are the Mundorf's? Not that it has any bearing on break-in. I'm just curious. | |
| any experience/opinions about Obbligato caps? I don't have any experience with Obbligato's, but Humble Homemade Hifi really liked them. http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html | |
| What am I doing??? Ctsamg, without giving us a budget, this is a guessing game, so bear with me... You have an excellent TT. If we can put the issue of a phono stage aside for a minute, let's look at your cartridge. I encourage you to read this TNT-Audio review:Shur... | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max vs AE-3 DJH preamps Mjcmt, thanks for that testimony. The more I hear about Pass amps, the more I'm inclined to check one out. Diehard tube fans swear they sound smooth. The thought of not fussing with power tubes is appealing. I really love the DJH. I bought it as a... | |
| Dahlquist DQ20i question The link I gave to the Stereo Review article isn't working. Here's a new link: Stereo Review Dahlquist DQ-20 1988 (pdf) | |
| Two conductor shielded chassis wire Thanks Kitch29. Excellent suggestion. | |
| Modifications to improve gain of ASL mini phono. I'm late to this forum, but recently bought an ASL Mini Phono. I'm a big fan of tube phono stages and figured this was a bargain for $200. I'm not aware of any other $200 tube phono stage with a decent power supply like this one has. Mainly, I wan... | |
| Two conductor shielded chassis wire Thanks Rodman. I should have thought of Percy. | |

| Best Preamp 300-500 Range Johnnyb53 has good advice. A phono stage isn't going to change much (if anything). A good integrated or a decent receiver is a better path to pursue. | |
| Best Preamp 300-500 Range Jmoog08, give us more info on your current system. | |
| Dahlquist DQ20i question Prices on these fluctuate wildly. I've seen restored DQ-10s go for $500-1000. Ones that need help can be found for $200. DQ-20's are often listed between $500-700. According to the Stereo Review article mentioned above, the 10's were still being p... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps I agree. All in all, it's the best overview I've read. It was nice he included lesser known caps like FT-3, KY40 and Penta Labs. It would be great to see some info on Claritycap and Duelund. If you search the web, you'll find very little info abou... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps I've been reading Jon L's cap comparisons at Audio Circle. It's an incredible wealth of information with many caps mentioned in detail. | |
| VH Audio Vcaps Thanks for the news/testimony. I've often wondered if the V-caps were hype. Chris has done a stellar job marketing them as the Holy Grail. What other caps have you evaluated? Have you had a chance to hear any Russian FT-3's? I wonder how they comp... |
