Electrolytic capacitor replacement @grannyring Have you used glue on PC boards before? I'm worried an epoxy may be too much and you end up with a hole in the board when you want to change later on. A friend of mine used a glue gun but that is way to much heat for my liking. | |
Electrolytic capacitor replacement Are you using the Audio Note KAISEI caps? Great caps! I’m looking into kaisei caps - the value I’ll need to get has snap on connectors -> 50uF/500v. They have a 50uF/350v with leads but I’m uncomfortable going down to 350v given the board speci... | |
Electrolytic capacitor replacement @oldhvymecYep, taller & wider (diameter). I’m sticking to the same value. I’m looking at 47uF/400v. Yep, radial, if that means both leads exiting on the same end. 😂🤣 | |
Capacitor @tomic601 Then you haven’t been paying enough attention to his ego driven drivel….Surely you’re not faulting me for scrolling past anything and everything he posts? 😂🤣 | |
Capacitor +1 @sns The guy makes MC sound modest. | |
Capacitor …. aaaaaand my battery has just died. Bummer. | |
Capacitor @charles1dad I ended up pulling the cable just to be sure it was really off!I’m a little overwhelmed. In the past 3 to 4 hours I have not listened to a single track without noticing something I never did before. This is the biggest bump in sound I... | |
Capacitor 45 hours in and wow! Wow!My sub is going into the trash. My sub filter was set at 30 Hz so the sub would fill only the range where my single driver BLHs could not go. But now it seems they have decided to drop down into the 20’s. I cannot believe ... | |
Capacitor " Yes Odams require at least 60 hours before even commenting on them 😊. They will not go downhill after 60 hours and after 100 hours you are 85% there!"My pre is going non stop. By days end on Sunday I’ll be at 75 hours. From then I’ll resume my s... | |
Capacitor " Does changing the amp caps also make a difference"Yes, definitely. As far as tube components go - wherever you have a cap in the signal path, replacing it higher quality cap will improve sound. DAC, amp, pre amp doesn't matter. Some may have a ... | |
Capacitor @jasbirnandra If you have not decided on which 3.3uF caps, here is some feedback on the ODAM in the Canary.Ok, I have 4 x 0.01uF CuTF and 4 x 3.3uF Odams. The Odams have 12 hours time on them.My subjective findings so far. As granny said, these ca... | |
Audioquest vs. Others yes indeed, silver is so much cheaper than copper…Price is determined by supply and demand. The willingness of what the target market is willing to pay and the estimated sales numbers. Companies put a lot of thought in pricing the models in their ... | |
Audioquest vs. Others Interesting comments about cables being purposefully broken. (PC word for sabotaged) I never thought of it before, but it does make sense and quite believable. I will keep that in mind henceforth. @tomic601 To use your analogy, I think broken is m... | |
Capacitor +1 @charles1dadSome people are simply not worth interacting with. | |
What's The Furthest/Longest You Have/Will Travel To Audition? Zero miles. I would probably not even consider auditioning equipment even had a I been traveling for leisure or business. (I haven't done so before). I would rather experience the sights of a new place than spend the time auditioning. I'll travel... |
