| 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. I think it my be hard to find a boutique cap without a little flavor. Please understand I'm not very experienced with all caps out there only what I have ... | |
| Replacing Manley Neo-Classic 300B I tried the TKD don't remember model but it was $100 in one of my tube preamps replacing a Alps black pot? I'm now using the Goldpoint dual pots which I really like. The TKD was very detailed and clean sounding but sterile and felt it sucked the ... | |
| Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room? I'll try 1/3, never tried a laser, that's a good idea. I have no idea just eye balled it. When I get time I'm going to start walking speakers around. I did notice soundstage is not as locked in and confused compared to last room, would like to fix... | |
| Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room? I was too lazy to break down racks to try to go low for now. I lined all 3 racks together and have no extreme experimenting yet with speaker placement. I have only tried floorstander which I put front baffle 3 1/2 feet off wall and rear is 2 fee... | |
| Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room? Thanks everyone for there support, I thought I was an odd ball with such a small room, looks like I was totally wrong. Looks like many have had great results with a small room. I am going to set up everything this weekend and see what happens, I'm... | |
| Yaqin MS-300C Integrated Amp Keeps Shutting Down I bought a used Yaqin mc10 el34 intergraded that had been modified by previous owner to bring to work, it ran 8 hours a day for 4 years before I sold it with no issues. When I researched Yaqin before I bought one I noticed you can buy them new wit... | |
| Yaqin MS-300C Integrated Amp Keeps Shutting Down I would guess stock Yaqin tubes are not good quality and first place to start process of elimination would be to retube amp. Then you can go from there. | |
| Do I need to be weary about selling an amp and shipping to a PO Box Box? I sold a CD player to a guy in Canada all went well. He told me to ship to a post office where he picks up items and cross the border few time a month. Why he does this I have no idea, maybe a Canadian knows. I almost bought a turntable from Canad... |
