| The next best Tweak ??? Has anyone run dual Lantern batteries at the speaker end for bi wire cables? Input would be helpful, but I'm going to try it later this week anyway.I just converted my home made Speaker cabkes to bi-wire. They now consist of one run of 14 ga and a... | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Pixelphoto, Mine seemed to sound pretty good right away.However it seems to get beeter in the bass after a few hours. | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Just received Goats Head Soup by the Rolling Stones on SHM SACD from Japan. Excellent remaster! Best version of this great album to date.On some songs I can hear (I think its Keith) singing along in the background. Not so unusual except on those s... | |
| anyone using Adona racks ? Adona racks seem to be very expensive for what they appear to be made of. But, that can be said about just about everything in this hobby. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Sgro, What type of cap are you using ? Just a thought.. Perhaps you are using Caps that are too low for your Amp/speaker. I am using 10K 50 Volt. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Sgr, I have noticed that the tweak works best on the speaker cable. The RCA hook ups are more hit and miss. Meaning on some components the soundstage improves ,and other equipment it doesn't. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Ghosthouse, I think it would be ok. You can always make two units for each biwire connection. I am using a 10k 50V Cap on my speakers and I think the 6V lantern battery works the best on my speakers.I just added another set (of 10K 50V Cap attache... | |
| Opposite ends Try the new remastered versions "40th Anniversary". I own the CCR SACD's, DCC's and various other versions.The 40th Anniversary discs are the best so far. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? The tweak is using only the negative side of the battery because of the electron flow.But, I really dont know if it matters because all I have used is the polarized caps. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Ghosthouse , Yes, Electrolytic Caps seem to be all polarized. That is the type of Cap used in this tweak.I am now using a 10K 50V Electrolytic Cap on my speakers. Parts Express has limited selection. Digi-Key is a good source. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Sgr, Yes, instead of hooking the wire from the negative side to the negative terminal on your speakers. Take that wire from the battery and solder it to an RCA on the ground side only. Then just plug it into any open RCA on your unit.I think the S... | |
| Preamp for Pass I had a Cary SP-05 Preamp with my Pass Labs X350.5. There definitely was an impedance mismatch with this combo. Very little bass and treble. Sold the Cary and bought the Pass XP-10. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? I think those are the same ones I bought, made by Rubycon ?I think once a tweaker always a tweaker, it would'nt matter the price of the system. The tweakin is a hobby within the Audio hobby. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Ghosthouse, Yes you have it right! You can also use it on your CD Player, Preamp etc. just by connecting the wire to the ground side only on a RCA.Give it a try, and post your results. | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Glad you guys tried the tweak and have had a positive improvement. I wonder why more Audiogonners have not posted?Anyway, do try using the 10K caps it will improve still further. |
