| Audio Research LS2B mk2 cap ugrade The voltage rating isn't an issue. The voltage is a maximum rating; as long as you operate the caps at less than the maximum, you're ok. The highest voltage in the LS2 is around 425v. A cap rated at 450v or above will do fine.I still think you wil... | |
| Lehmann Black Cube question I bought the original Black Cube when it first came out based on the over-the-top reviews and user comments. Big mistake! It sounded mediocre at best. I don't know if later models sounded better (I would certainly hope so), but I would be skeptical. | |
| Audio Research LS2B mk2 cap ugrade Hifigeek1, That's why I mentioned the Classe amp's input impedance which is fairly high. As I recall, it is 68K. It is true that a lower value output coupling cap will cause the bass to roll off sooner, but in this case it won't have any practical... | |
| Audio Research LS2B mk2 cap ugrade I used an LS2 with Classe CA-300 for several years so I can relate somewhat to your situation. I tried several cap upgrades on my LS2 which mostly brought it up to MkII status, i.e. replacing a number of RelCaps with MIT caps. Your preamp already ... | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Jazdoc, what's this about a new Durand tonearm? Can you reveal any details about the Telos? How is it different from the Talea?Dave | |
| which amps go well with Spendors My experience is limited to the SP-100, but I have found it to be very flexible concerning amplifiers. I have used it with amps ranging from 300W per channel (Classe CA-300) to 1.5W (homemade single-ended 46 amp). In between, I've used a number of... | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution 1968 to 1977----Dyna FM-3 (modified)--great sound but noisy in stereo1985 to 1993---Denon TU-720---reasonable sensitivity and noise, very nice sound (unfortunately it was stolen)1993 to 1995----Magnum DynaLab FT-100A---great sensitivity and noise,... | |
| Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static I haven't heard of anyone having static problems with a Loricraft before. In fact, one of the advantages of the Loricraft compared to the VPI, Nitty Gritty, etc. is precisely the lack of static buildup. (The earlier posters don't realize that the ... | |
| Looking for a best TT without arm for under 10K. Of course, there is no "Best" turntable under $10K. There are many options available. I have been very happy with my Galibier Gavia table and would recommend that you consider it. | |
| Denon DL-103R cartridge update I went back and forth for a while between a 103R and a Benz L2 Woodbody. They both have some very favorable qualities. Despite the price difference, the Denon can hold its own in a lot of respects. I then moved on to a Benz LP. I think in general ... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? Paanders,If you read some other threads on Audiogon and AudioAsylum, you will see that there are different views about the necessity and value of record cleaning. A certain minority (including myself) believe that record cleaning is not nearly as ... | |
| higher end jazz vinyl: where to turn? I have had the best luck buying jazz LPs from used record stores and on Ebay. In my experience, early releases of jazz LPs (not limited to the original pressings) almost always sound better than recent reissues, and I am including the "audiophile"... | |
| Phono Preamp-Nothing you like so Build your own? If you don't feel up to tackling a built-from-scratch project, there's always the Audio Note kit phono. I haven't heard it but it looks interesting and seems to be a good value.http://www.audionotekits.com/M3PhonoStage.html | |
| Phono Preamp-Nothing you like so Build your own? I highly recommend a tube design by Stephen Robinson. The circuit is described in detail on his website. It can be built for less than $1000 (or for much more depending on choice of capacitors).http://www.izzy-wizzy.com/audio/preampnew.html | |
| classe twenty five and classe fifteen I used a DR-10 for several years, and replaced it with a CA-300. The 300 was a major improvement across the board. More detailed, more dynamic, and a more even tonal balance. In looking at the circuitry inside, I noticed the DR-10 had a coupling c... |
