| Free Shipping - Be Careful! Moral of the story, if the vendor offers you options for shipping, never cheap out and go with free shipping. At best your going to be waiting forever for your purchases to arrive. Just pay the 10 - 20 bucks and have some peace of mind. | |
| Capacitor I’ve only ever used TFTF on tubed components so I never got to the point where they sounded sterile. While I’ve never compared the TFTFs directly with CuTFs I get the impression the CuTFs are a touch warmer. In my pre and power amps all the signal... | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? I got a C- in religion class needless to say, but straight A+ in everything elseFunny how people who never managed a GPA over 2.0 at school always claim they were straight A student. 🤥 | |

| Electrolytic capacitor replacement @grannyring Ok, short of taking a hacksaw to my chassis, I cannot use Tubecaps. I think I’m going to have to settle the Mundorf Mlytic. Do recommend bypassing them? I want to use the 50+50uF three prong. The ODAM is a little too expensive for bypa... | |
| Capacitor " I am using the Canary Grand reference with 8 tubes on each side when I opened the amp cover each tube had a cap underneath it"You will need to do all the power tube caps at the same time. Sounds like you have 16 power tube caps? Ouch - that's a... | |
| Capacitor @jasbirnanda I would advise to not change all your caps at once. Change maybe one or two pairs at a time and sit back and listen. If your sound goes in the wrong direction, you can alter your path. If you feel the sound is on the right path, you ... | |
| Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations @jdm11 Just saw your post re you needing 5 cords. I have a spare 1.5mtr Wireworld Electra 5.2 you can have. PM if you are interested. I'm never going to use it again. You're welcome to it. I have upgraded to Silver Electra's and Coincident PC's. | |
| Heat Then if the room is cooler, the heat s being drawn through the heat sinks with greater efficiency?Yes. Cold air consumes more energy (heat) from the cooling than warmer air can. Two factors come into play. 1.) The colder the air, the more heat it ... | |
| Poor Customer Service I hate it when an audio company ignores me. It feels like I’m married again. | |
| Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations Wireword Aurora PCs. Hold off on power conditioning. | |
| Dedicated power to audio system—how extreme to go? The systems that I have heard with battery power lose it when it comes to dynamics. Especially amps.Nice thought though, but the technology is not there... yet.Depends on the amps, depends on the batteries. I have found the opposite - a noticeable... | |
| Heat Ambient temperature will effect how much heat you amplifier can dissipate. The warmer the ambient temperature the less it will be able to. Airflow will greatly enhance an amplifiers ability to dissipate heat.I use 12" computer cooling fans on my p... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? Something I have found about my own tastes is the absence of bass is a lot better than the presence of bad bass.Over a period of years I tried multiple subs + amps and multiple crossovers, both passive and active. No matter what I tried, I never g... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? @dabelMy monitors have been with me 20 years and they’re keepers. But they do not dig deep enough.Well there is no way to tell if my speakers go down lower than yours, or if I’m just satisfied with less. But does show how silly it is for folks to ... |
