Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Tom,Thank you too for your reply. I posted my reply to Salectric before your note posted. Your suggestion is interesting but would it be needed with the CAST cap mounted in an outboard enclosure?Thanks again,John 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Salectric,Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful reply. Your reply was spot-on for the help I needed. I'll indeed go with the single 3.3uf arrangement in the new crossover.I didn't ask the gentleman from whom we obtained the speakers if he ... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
I have a question for the group. Background: A friend just acquired a pair of Silverline SR17 Supreme monitors. The crossover is first order and uses a Dynaudio T330D Esotar tweeter. The plan is to take the crossover outboard, replacing the tweete... 
Rogue Audio Cronus ..... new power tubes
Adam,It sounds like you have your system dialed-in nicely and i wish you much more happy listening. Thanks too for your compliments on my system, I indeed like it a lot. John 
AYON TITAN INTEGRATED AMP
Matt,I am a fan of the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter so would recommend you audition their speakers that use that tweeter, or EgglestonWorks, or Silverline.John 
Rogue Audio Cronus ..... new power tubes
Adam,Sounds like you got some really good guidance from Mark and Nick! Given how much you are enjoying your system staying with the Gold Lion KT-77's would make the most sense to me too.Cheers,John 
AYON TITAN INTEGRATED AMP
Matt,Did you mean "Triton?" If so, the speakers I have listed on my system page work nicely. Also, what price range are you considering? 
Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber
Unistar99,It's great that you have found a pair of speakers that meet your audio needs so well and I hope you will continue to enjoy them for a long time to come. Merlin makes some nice speakers that work well in a lot of audiophile's systems, and... 
Rogue Audio Cronus ..... new power tubes
Adam,From reading your post I would stay with the Gold Lion power tubes, but what small tubes do you run in the Cronus? If you are running the stock tubes I'd make some changes there. Is there some attribute to your system you'd like to change? Ch... 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Rhyno,Informative post indeed. 
How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx?
Big_katydid,Glad to see that Mark got back to you. If he figures your amp is operating properly according to its environment then that would be good enough for me too.Regarding your comment about extra detail and solid state, all I can say is that... 
How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx?
Big_katydid,I submitted a follow-up to my earlier note but it hasn't posted yet, so this reply may be redundant... we'll see which actually appears first.A minor correction to your question, my amp was one of a pair of M180 mono blocks rather than... 
How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx?
Big_katydid,Regarding the hum you hear when you put your ear close to the amp, that may be normal. My Ayon Triton 1 has a very, very low hum that I can hear if I put my ear about six inches from the unit, but even then I have to listen closely. It... 
McIntosh to be on How It's Made this Thursday
Wolf,Good one.I learned that one doesn't need to be concerned with fingerprints on the tubes. 
How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx?
Big_katydid,I had a transformer hum issue with one of my M180 amps. I sent the amp back to Rogue and they replaced the transformer. After that the amp was fine for the entire time I had that system.Rogue said too that they'd apparently had some ba...
