| Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... ego stroking his way into favour.. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Caddock MK132 have the signature the OP is looking for. These are discontinued, however their replacements the MK232 should fit the bill as they share the same construction and have undergone only minor changes for Rohs compliance. | |
| Bi-amping @393gadget there is a big difference between bi-amping and going active, which is what has been discussed.. Bi-amping involves leaving the crossovers in tact and feeding each leg separately, going active involves removing the crossovers and having... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? these won't supply your needs excluding compoents from consideration based on pure speculation made on the basis of what you read is rather unwise IMHO. | |
| Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away?? on the other hand we might and up seeing Classe TV‘s and bluetooth speakers - who knows? all brand names are there to be exploited - look at where Telefunken ended up | |
| Best budget turntable? pretty much a pointless exercise because you are going to get a million and one answers based on what people own and be no wiser than when you started. Also depends entirely on whether you are willing to go second hand. As always the only way to ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables Pro Double Helix Signature 3D power conditioner Impression for 65K you could just about have your own sub-station built.. | |
| Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... there was a very informative non controversial thread about a Supratek preamp that disappeared for no apparent reason. Makes one wonder if advertising competitors are able to get threads pulled.. | |
| Bi-amping There are benefits to Bi-amping in that each amplifier only drives one drive unit (or sets of drive units) and therefore restricts the range of frequencies and dips and peaks in the impedance curve it must drive. | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good Taiwan have been catering for the mid to upper range market for a while now. Their (unfortunately now unavailable) James transformers were excellent VFM for the constructor. Let‘s hope the ROC lets them continue on their trajectory unimpeded.. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? I am passing on naked resistors due to a point Takman brought up in their papers.. which is that naked is going to be a victim of induced current, which means magnetism.. this is the same reason Furutech has special grounding and demag in their c... | |
| Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... They also take care of issues with the sales too. which is quite apparent when reviewing some of their censorship history.. | |
| Indicators of worn/bad capacitors? visual clues include swelling, discharge of any substance at the base of the capacitor, heat discolouration and general old age (although old caps can still function OK). | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s i’m an Exposure fanboy from wayback, however Stereophile got it completely wrong when they awarded the 2010S a Class A recommendation, I know because I own one. If you want good sound in the modern Exposure range look at a XXIII 3010S2 monoblock c... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? absolutely brilliant as the shunt resistor in a stepped attenuator. If you put them everywhere the effect can be a bit OTT. YMMV |
