| Audiophiles are older than dirt Scored 100%. I remember taking tubes from our old RCA Victor radio to Thrifty Drugs where there was a floor standing tube tester. The days of crew cuts and Pomade! "Flash Gordon", "Space Cadet" and "Spy Smasher" at the Sat. matinees. | |

| The next best Tweak ??? I received my 10K 25V caps yesterday. Removed the 1K caps from the speaker ends and installed these and let them set over night. I just finished listening to "Memories of a Geisha" and I love it even more now. The sound stage is deeper, instrument... | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Yea, I'm a born tweaker. Been tweaking since I was building die cut balsa wood model airplanes many crash landings ago. The caps I ordered are radial type, light brown with DON imprinted on them; 10KuF 25V 85" 20x35mm electrolytic. More fun enroute! | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Just ordered 10 ea 10K caps from eBay for $15.09 total. Seller is local so should receive them by midweek. I wonder if these will bring me to the point of diminishing returns on my system? Maybe an alarm system or motorcycle battery next! Just thi... | |
| The next best Tweak ??? Well it's been two weeks since I've installed this fantastic tweak. The best way for me to express the effects of it is to yell YOWEE! For just about $35. I've installed 4 6V lantern batteries with 1000uf 50V electrolytic caps. One at each speaker... | |

| The next best Tweak ??? Hay JediniteI had the same problem with not knowing which lead was which but slbenze over at Tweakers' Asylum clued me in. I just bought two more caps at Fry's and these have even length leads but do have arrows. I just attached them to the 6V bat... | |
| The next best Tweak ??? If there are no + or - indicators on the cap the longer lead is the positive lead and the shorter lead is the negative lead. | |

| All time favorite speaker cables I started with Mapleshade Golden Helix but found them to harsh to my ears even after several hundred hours. So I researched DIY cables. White Lighting cables made from Walmart patio extension cable were much better. Then I read about Home Depot ex... | |

| Are you too old to be an audiophile? I got back into audio about three years ago. I'm 67 years young and wear hearing aids. I'm amazed and happy that I can hear more than I thought I could. Last year I had my audiologist program one of three channels without noise filtering or compre... | |
| Anybody find themselves revisiting old threads? I returned to this great hobby about 3 years ago. Without all of the various audio forums available to me on the internet my education would be stunted. I have learned so much from many threads that I return to week after week. With the many thoug... | |
