| need instructions bypass Tukan crossover I've dont it a couple times...from what I remember it involves unsoldering two wires on each crossover, and re-attaching them to other (marked) locations. No rocket science here. BUT, the signal still has to go through PCB tracks which degrades it... | |
| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? Recently I compared some uber-expensive, very high rated ICs and speaker cables ($6000/m and $10,000/8ft) with the name 'Indra' and 'Dream' against the Cardas GR stuff. The GR made these other cables sound boxy, smeared and two dimensional, to a p... | |
| classe twenty five and classe fifteen The worst power amp I have ever owned by far was a DR10, which was bland and inspid to a point that it made everything sound like a loud AM radio! I replaced it with an old, old Son of Ampzilla which was superior in every way, and sounded far more... | |

I heard a demo at a show where it was compared to (and quite favorably I seem to remember) with a similarly equipped Linn Sondek (SME3, V15mk3). I think it sold for about 200 UK... | |
| Polk XRt12 XM Tuner It sounds lousy compared to FM/CD/LP, obviously dull, muffled and greatly compressed. Internally the parts are cheap SM components that are would not be out of place in a $29 Walkman type personal player. I am looking into having a dedicated analo... | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? I have tried Solens, Mundorf Silvers, Hovlands, Theta Audio Caps and Auricaps and Cardas caps in the x/o. By far the best are the Cardas caps which allow a seamless, unforced and supremely balanced sound. The highly touted oil-filled Mundorfs had ... |
