| Fred Volz and Emotive Sira Pre Amp Grimace, If the volume control position is something that really bothers you, contact Fred. He can install some dropping resistors around the volume control that can reduce the gain to whatever you want. A number of years ago, I had a Sira, Poeta ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My Duelund CAST resistors just arrived today so I will be able to compare the CAST to the regular Duelund resistors I have been using the last year or two. I will post some details after I am sure the new resistors are fully broken in. I also have... | |
| Fred Volz and Emotive Sira Pre Amp Brad,I think you will like the custom Sira very much and enjoy the process of working with Fred to get a custom piece of equipment. Fred built a linestage and mono power amps for me so I have some firsthand experience. What type of output coupling... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy1, one of these days maybe you will be able to listen in stereo with both channels matched. I highly recommend it! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, how would you describe the Jupiters compared to the JB JFX? I know you felt the JFX was a decent alternative to the CAST caps a few months ago. Since my reactions to the JFX were not as positive, I am trying to get some context for you... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, do the Jupiters have more high frequency refinement and air than the Duelund CAST? To my ears that is the one area where the CAST fall short. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy, did you mean to say the tweeter inductor is in series with the tweeter? That would be odd since the choke will roll off the highs. The tweeter choke should be in a shunt position, i.e. after a series capacitor and in parallel with the t... | |
| Damned brands or not good electronics? Bobheinatz, I sent you a message through Agon message system. Not sure if it went through. I would like to get more information on your Emotive amps. I also have a pair of Emotive monoblocks and am very happy with them. | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? My speakers which are a one-of-a-kind 2-way using a 15" paper cone woofer designed in the 1940's, an aluminum horn also designed in the same era, and an Altec compression driver from the 1970's. Any combination of these drivers would probably soun... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? What a beautiful table! Anything that looks that nice has to sound great! I am sure you will enjoy it for a long time. | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Great story! I always enjoy reading about digital fans discovering vinyl. I am not clear on just what Artisan Fidelity did though. Did they build a new plinth for the SP10 or something more? | |
| Mo' money. Mo' problems. Wow, the 7 Tips by zd542 are right on the money! These should be posted somewhere as a "sticky" and re-read often. I especially agree with the linestage tip. The linestage is the single most important component and often the most difficult to get ... | |
| Best EL34 reissue? Another vote for Genalex reissue KT-77's which can be substituted for EL34's. The KT-77's sound the best of any modern EL34 type to my ears at least, and they are very rugged and relatively cheap. I also second the recommendation of Jim McShane. H... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, I haven't experimented with Wimas. Back in the days when I had ARC preamps I listened to Wimas because they were used extensively in the ARC power supplies, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that----too many other variables.On y... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Regismc, very interesting! Have you tried the s/g/o plus CuTF combination as a coupler as opposed to power conditioner? |
