| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? 15 years or so ago I sold my Preamp and bought a BAT vk5i se it came with new production RCA 6922 and couldnt enjoy the preamp. The amp took 8 6922's I knew it was the tubes so I bought some bugle boys it was better but music didn't grab me. Was a... | |
| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long Schizophrenic is the only way I can describe the NCF. There is no immediate gratification with this purchase. It's really a long bad ride but once it's over it was well worth the aggravation. I almost pulled it out of the wall and stuck it in a dr... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless? I'll try to keep this short and hope this isnt offensive. I bought a little cheap Bruce Moore Preamp from a guy that had a Dialogue being shipped to him but it hadn't come in yet. He contacted me and regretted selling me the preamp and wanted it b... | |

One of the Mods was to upgrade input and signal wire to Audio Consulting silver in a cotton sleeve by the mod company. Millercarbon warranty is over and I do understand dangers o... | |

| Tube replacement for Yaquin MC-10L I had a mc10 that was modded by previous owner. Nice amp for the money, no matter what tubes used it will never sound overly tubey. I used Mullard xf2's that I already had laying around but very pricey,I also had good luck with Winged C's. I tried... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. The first speakers I used to experiment with caps came with auricaps LSA statements towers with ribbon tweeters. I first tried to keep auricap family so I moved up to the Auricap XO in the tweeter the XO's are better, more refined better stage and... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. I used vcap TFTF in a tube Preamp as signal cap, it was nice but did not sound natural to me. It is a neutral cap but came across as sterile after spending time with it, sounded great at beginning after break in but that wore off. I use the Duel... | |
| Eichmann binding post caps broke again/ Suggestions on something better I ever knew Mundorf made binding post. I looked them up and they offer many versions, copper, gold silver plated.

| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. I just moved and had to reset everything up, it sounded good but something was lacking. After about a week I remembered I forgot to install the Furutech NCF outlet. I did not realize how much of an impact a snake oil outlet could make. That outlet... | |
| Re-capping Modular Component Systems 3222 Receiver I had a MCS turntable in the 70's built like a tank and very heavy and solid, nice table. I believe they were made by Techniques for JC Penney. I would do Preamp first then try power supply caps. In the preamp Jantzen and put a Miflex bypass only ... |
