| JBL HDI-3600 Crossover Upgrade: Mundorf changes in the ESR can unduly affect the entire impedance curve negatively. Thanks Erik, that’s the first I’ve ever heard of that. My thoughts were Elecs are mostly used in LF since SQ impact is lower using cheap in LF. I’ve had some pretty go... | |

| Burson OpAmps - Consensus? That's a great point and consideration.. Thanks... I've been leaving mine on perpetually - I should check that! Appreciate it... | |
| Great YouTube on Class A-A/B VS Class D Netherlands.. https://www.hypex.nl/p/technology/about-us/ | |
| Great YouTube on Class A-A/B VS Class D I think with Class D it boils down to the chips they use, no? I'm no expert on the subject, but in the case of NAD per the youtube vid above, they use some whizbang Hypex module from Norway (I think), they're leaders in the space from what I know ... | |
| Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound” Desirable piece at a good value price point. I want one... Justin, maybe 2023 is the year we both end up with a 152. 302 is awesome. I'm very curious about the MI502. | |
| Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound” Just curious, what is your preamp? | |
| Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound” Wait a second, isn't there a newer ~100wpc model that comes in around 3k? the 152? I thought I saw one - typical physical size, two meters, two knobs, no nonsense. I think they also now have ClassD, I'd be inclined to check that, but maybe not yet... | |
| Great YouTube on Class A-A/B VS Class D Good vid, yeah I've always liked NAD and would bet the M23 is fantastic too... PS Audio seem confident in their class D, I have a hard time getting over paying the large sums for 2 rinkydink circuits in an empty chassis box somehow though. :) | |
| Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound” Interested to see what folks have to say on this. I accomplished this the other way, McPreamp on other amps (Bryston). I have the house sound. More so when running a D100 with the preamp, but even now with a Moon DAC, I still have the house sound ... | |
| Mcintosh Volume control acting erratic I serviced the encoder on my C46 tonight. It's a serviceable part, the top slides off exposing a small board. On mine, I noticed a few suspect joints, I addressed with my station and needle tip. I cleaned the sensors, 2 pairs which read the wheel ... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? ClarityCap makes one in their TC range. I use Mundorf wherever I can. http://www.claritycap.co.uk/products/tc.php | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Well, whatever I suppose. Are you going to replace to caps? If so, I think you could go nicely upscale for a nice uplift, anything in mind? | |
| Recapping Mark Levinson 33H monoblocks Skip the huge (and many) power caps and replace the few electrolytics the amps have, there are only a few, everything else is film as you’d expect. You would get your sound quality boost for a few bucks, main filter/power caps won’t do much for yo... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Or it could be a strange individual making up stories for forum entertainment. |
