| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Actually I no longer use any Duelund resistors. Just Mills and PathAudio. | |
| Top resistors I have PathAudio resistors in 2 spots which are 5 and 10 ohms. Right now I am still using Mills in the other two positions. I plan to get some more PathAudios to try there as well.You may want to break in the resistors before you put them in your ... | |
| Top resistors To my ears, the neutrality of the PathAudio does not make it any less exciting than the Duelund CAST. When I listen with the PathAudio, words like "direct, clear, solid" come to mind. With the CAST, I am thinking "airy, bright, thin." Individual p... | |
| Top resistors Justubes2, I am happy to provide more details regarding the Duelund CAST vs. PathAudio resistors. First let me provide some context. All of my testing has been with my DIY speakers (described on my system page) in the high-pass portion of a 1200 H... | |
| Top resistors I need to supplement or correct my earlier post about PathAudio resistors. After a very lengthy breakin period (I wasn't keeping track but I have been using them for a couple of months), the PathAudios do sound really good. The issues I had with a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Good move Granny! I think you will like the PathAudios a lot but be sure to give them a long run in before drawing any conclusions. Mine were initially rather dark in the highs with subdued dynamics and a small, recessed soundstage. But after a fe... | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th I have heard the Volti Vittoras several times at the Capital Audio Fest and in Denver a couple years ago. To my ears they sounded best with the designer's own 2A3 SE amps which are a DIY design called the Horus Silver. See:http://www.magnequest.co... | |
| Basis Audio Super Arm 9 So how much does the SA9 cost? And has anyone compared it to a current version Triplanar? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil By "tame" the tweeter, do you mean to sweeten or smooth the highs? If so I suspect the PathAudio would be the better choice, although I haven't actually tried it in a series role like that. A CAST would probably sound rather bright and not as clea... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil One other thing. As you probably know, the PathAudio resistor has 3 leads. The extra wire is for a grounding shield. So far I haven't had much luck with the ground connection. My comments are based on using it without the ground shield. After I am... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, I have compared PathAudio and CAST resistors in my high-pass crossover. They both sound good but quite different. I only have one value of PathAudio which means I have only tried it in one spot but it's a critical place---the shunt sid... | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? A spec showing that power doubles as the impedance drops from 8 to 4 and then from 4 to 2 may be misleading. I recall a Stereophile test report a few years back of some high-powered solid-state amp, perhaps a Classe, whose ratings indicated just s... | |
| Looking for Altec 604E Horn Check with Great Plains Audio. They are the go-to folks for repairs and parts for vintage Altecs. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, I completely agree with you about the importance of the shunt components. In my case, I have 2 shunt parts in the crossover itself---a shunt coil on the high frequency driver and a shunt cap on the woofer. Each of these is critical son... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil New Duelund CAST caps installed in my speakers today. These are for the woofer shunt caps in a 2d order crossover. Even stone cold, they trounce the Mundorf Supreme caps that were previously my favorite for that spot. The excellent midrange detail... |
