| Sony's strange speaker cord I'm as guilty as anyone; taking the occasional shot, myself. But only at the obnoxious*, rather than someone interested in enlightenment. *NOT referring to anyone in this thread. Just in general. | |
| Sony's strange speaker cord There may (possibly) be some folks out there, just getting started and trying to improve their sound. Maybe even on a budget? Tips like the EQ thing are helpful, but: how many here knew how to correctly (?) refer to everything, when you ... | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding @mahlman- "With all the non-polar caps out there I have no idea why anyone would do this." Same here (makes no sense)! I’ve never... | |
| Sony's strange speaker cord There should be only two conductors and (hopefully, at least) one will somehow be marked, giving an indication of polarity. Just cut off the connector and determine, with a aaa battery, which lead is positive. That lead, touched to the... | |
| I need a source for high quality capacitors at wholesale Both Mundorf and V-Cap, as you know are, "specialty items", that appear not to be traded, by the manufacturer, through the typical wholesalers (ie: Digikey or Mouser). Kind of like, back in the day, when only certain dealerships in a gi... | |
| testing a crossover Wilmslow Audio built some fairly complex crossovers, for some of their systems, though I’m not familiar with the Mirage’s. A DMM can easily read impedances, thro... | |

| Where is Cary Audio? @audiosd- Welcome to the forum. Hope you can see through the endemic, inane arguments. Their are many informed/experienced here and much valuable info to glean, if you can bear it. Enjoy the journey! | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding If one took the time to view these pics of Klipsch stage monitor crossovers, they’d note that the OEM/factory caps, comprising the LF circuits, are bipolar electrolytics. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Type-KSM-2-Crossover-/392714043491) ... | |

| Replacement capacitors exploding @itsjustme- It's comical that you'd say something like, ".... are you familiar with all the rating components, and with all the various types of capacitors and their pluses and minuses? It gets pretty arcane quickly." and then assert, " Electr... | |
| Where is Cary Audio? @doyle3433- I owned a Cary Rocket 88, before the 100s. Bought the 100s, based on the Rocket's sound signature. My only regret is that mine aren't the SLAM-100s. I just love having lots of headroom. When I wanted to upgrade... | |
