| 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... | |
| No binding post/ Amp hardwired to speaker wire. Anyone tried it The amp has been modded by Audio Reference Mods 10 or so years ago. 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. Which one is most neutral? I'm a little concerned seeing plastic involved again. I really like the Eichmann sonics but they are unre... | |

| 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 ... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Hi raul, you helped me pick the Jantzen alumen z's a while back. Have you changed your mind.
