| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Dgarretson, I do not dislike OIMPs, I simply prefer Dynamicaps. However I am considering using OIMPs bypassed with a smaller TFTF in my phono. (The output couplers are 8.0uF)Vett93, I am not familiar with Mundorf, but to my ears Dynamicaps sounded... | |
| Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps? Jppenn, I am reluctant to use > 1.0uf size V-Caps mainly due to cost. If cost was not an option I would use V-Caps exclusively.RegardsPaul | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? Hi Flyingred. I too have a peeve with speed stability, but my issue is with DC motors. I have yet to hear a DC motored TT that has speed stability. I have listened to tracks were I could tell the TT was drifting, but the salesman/owner were blissf... | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? +++ I spent 2 years auditioning "high end" tables before making my choice. Part of the problem was that nothing I heard bested the 25 year old Technics SL-150 Mk II or Lenco L75 that I picked up to re-learn analog set up. +++Well Red, which one is... | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? +++ The KAB mods take it [SL1200] to the $5K performance level with much less than that.+++Really? And which $5000 tables my that be? Teres perhaps? Galabier? Avid? Oracle? ClearAudio? Michell? Sota?Tell me something psychic, have you ever even he... | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 I'll second the TFTF V-Caps suggestions if you can stretch your budget. They are IMHO the very best money can buy.Dynamicaps are quite good too though. As their name suggests, they have a very dynamical quality. The sound is almost sparkly and ver... | |
| Break in period Shadorne, your second paragraph comes close. If you like the sound of lets say, Dynamicaps, and decide to use them when you build or modify an amp, they will change ever so slightly the first few hours of use. That is irrespective of your design.H... | |
| Break in period Shadorne, are you saying that engineers deliberately engineer their equipment to audibly burn-in? I have heard some far out theories before, but this one sets new standards.+++ Often the part selection and design criteria are heavily influenced by... | |
| acoustic system resonators +++ A system outfitted with Resonators makes the music come alive in way that the same system without them doesn't. +++I do not disbelieve you, but a sheet of corrugated iron on a wall will more than likely have similar results. Corrugated iron co... | |
| The dumbest thing you ever did to your stereo? Broke a Koetsu. Beers and vinyl don't go together ... | |
| Break in period Drubin. I suspect that all gear is subject to burn in. However, I have little experience with inexpensive gear and as such would be silly to argue against someone that has. | |
| Break in period +++ No respectable engineer would deliberately design an amp with a significant drift in electrical response characteristics over 100's of hours +++Really? Are you an engineer perhaps?I am also somewhat amazed as to why you equate the phenomena of... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. +++ So you dont think you cant tell Vinyl from Digital, yet you can tell that people with remotes and no turntable are not "true" music lovers?+++My my, now you are doing research on my old posts? Sad.I can tell the difference between digital and ... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. LOL@Onhwy61. Nice try. I got back into vinyl this century. Besides my immaturity is psychological, nothing to do analogue.RegardsPaul | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. +++ To suggest that anyone not willing to commit to analog music reproduction cannot be truly passionate about music is completely without merit.+++I guess some could read my post and conclude that the intent was as you state above. These would be... |
