| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem After you burn-in for 15-200 hours, the bass will no longer be an issue. Went thru the same thing with my A5 and the bass is now deep, tight, fast, defined with excellent separation. Hang in there......... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Transl, is anything touching the v-cap capacitor such as self stick tape or sticky putty. I have found that teflon capacitors (perhaps others) can take on the dielectric signature of something touching the outer case. | |

| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen I've spent some time reading internet posts regarding opinions on Teflon capacitors. A common word that comes up is "midrange".

| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? I have followed this thread closely and until now have not felt like saying anything. But the last post by Sp has sparked me to reply.Over the past ten years or so I have listened to atleast 100 or more power cords in my system. Never satisfied wi... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Being an owner of a Temper V. A cartridge that IMO has a sound that is the essence of analog tape. I speculate that if the Orpheous offers a different sound. That sound would probably go in the direction of more speed and less warmth/bloom. FWIW, ... | |
