| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Duelund’s Cast-PIO-Cu caps ARE more resolving and open, than any that I’ve tried over the years. I don’t want to hear anything but the original music and venue, without any editorializing. Duelunds are just less, "there" and allow me to hear furth... | |
| Ultrasonic Oscillation HEY, Tim- R U still out there, somewhere(timru)? | |
| Interesting look at THD If you're concerned with noise on your neutral or ground and actually want to test for it, some years back there was a discussion regarding AC line noise and conditioners(https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/analyzing-the-power-from-the-outlet),... | |
| Do caps deteriorate with time even if an amp is not being used? A big YES! Though(often) careful reforming can restore them(their dielectric) to original specs. (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.823.6133&rep=rep1&type=pdf) If you’re going to buy that amp, buy a variac too(unless... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier THD Output Results The Power Plants will display both incoming and outgoing AC distortion on the front panel. Otherwise, a separate AC Quality Meter is required. There are a number of examples here: (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=thd+meter&_osacat=0&_... | |
| Interesting look at THD Read it twice earlier. Didn't see anything applicable to audio, regarding the industrial, "remedies" mentioned. I must have missed something. | |
| Interesting look at THD You do understand that the article concerns Variable Frequency Drives and Power Factor Correction problems, in an industrial/Three Phase environment, rather than audio, right? Just my opinion, having worked in that, as well as home and pro audio, ... | |
| Interesting look at THD Yes, it and they are very interesting to look at! | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? You mentioned, "no audition" as a concern. Both Odyssey and Sanders(Magtech) offer thirty day, no questions returns. Klaus' amps are made right here in the Indiana and fit well within your budget. | |
| What to add or change for my system? Do you have dedicated AC breakers and lines, going to your system/listening room’s outlets? I wasn’t so much surprised, as I was delighted, when I installed a couple runs of 10 AWG Romex(twisted together) to mine. And YES: room treatments/cabling! | |
| Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S? "Two caps only."(per) I'd want to keep the capacitance within 20%(and I always prefer the more side). I've already put over $800 worth of Duelund coupling caps in the pair, not to mention a few other little expenditures. This will take some ... | |
| Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S? You answered while I was editing my post. Figured the TCs were the ones referenced. I was wondering how you accommodated them(nice work). | |
| Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S? grannyring- Where’s a good place to find 1200uF/450VAC(or thereabouts) film capacitors? Seems they would have to be huge and very expensive. ie: Eight Clarity TCs in 600uF/450V caps would take up over 67 square inches of landscape. I do love the... | |
