| Crossover upgrade capacitor question Keep in mind: If you replace the caps, the higher the quality, probably- the longer the burn-in. They may sound absolutely raunchy at first(been there). Polypropylene/polystyrene may take 200hrs and Teflon caps 400+ before they reach their target ... | |

| High End jargon; your take I do SO wish I could balance their DB levels!! =8^( | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Teajay- I didn't want to press the issue, given his negative reaction to the suggestions made. But, AMEN!! The correct NOS tubes(and other mentioned tweaks) can/will/would have a profound impact regarding the sound qualities he's seeking. Well- At... | |

| High End jargon; your take Too bad Mr Colloms didn't study law! Perhaps he could have staightened them out on that too. =8^) | |
| High End jargon; your take Glad you asked about "Pace", "Rhythm" and "Timing"!! The fella that first mentioned these dynamics(viv-a-vis critical listening), Martin Colloms, is a highly regarded British audio reviewer, speaker designer and holds a number of engineering degre... | |
| High End jargon; your take Blackstonejd- In other words: Pitch resolution and speed= "tight" Anyone that has been standing(or sitting) near a well played drum set will know what "tight bass" sounds and feels like. Without it there is no sensation of the tautly stretched dru... | |
| Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable All true Mr K! I hadn't thought about the contact protection feature inherent in the XLR. | |
