| recapping crossovers....do or don't? See this mention of MIT multi-caps from DIY'ers. Not recommended. Bear in mind this is a precision audio crowd who like Tannoys and SET amps (precision is desired and smooth is shunned - I don't know what side of the fence you are on but it is the... | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers I am not sure what caps are used but any high voltage signal path application for caps generally requires high quality caps.Most speakers use high quality polypropylene caps for the crossover ($5 to $10) as do Vandersteens (I think) - these do not... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. See "This Side of Paradise" and "All Our Yesterdays" for an emotion filled Vulcan. Ah yes you are right. I kind of meant in general though. The T'pau episode (Amok Time) also seemed quite emotional for our logical hero too - he sure seemed happy ... | |
| One sub, a two channel system ,one HT reciever ?? Rolling off their bass may enable them to play louder but when I have tried it I found the benefits mostly theoretical and the drawbacks obvious. One of the obvious problems from removing copious amount of bass distortion is that you can now hear... | |
| Preamplifier power supply Actually, no, that is not what I'm suggesting at all.We agree then on that aspect - good. Do not mistake quantity for quality, they both start with the letter "Q", but are very different. Sorry, my bad. Don't confuse smaller with cheaper. How si... | |
| History on ohm A's and F's. I would say there is truth and still some beauty as long as you don't open up the "cage". Indeed Mr. Spock displayed much more emotion in "The Cage" than in rest of the series. | |
| One sub, a two channel system ,one HT reciever ?? Running the mains full range as Rel suggests, either works, or doesn't work...it has a lot to do with whats going on with the main speakers. The Kef's may work great...many smaller ported speakers may not, again....it depends. Well said. I could ... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC... If you go optical then I'd suggest (in this price range) to go with something that has a solid track record like Benchmark (hard to find used at a significant discount - kind of the Bryston of DAC's - good value for money). Unless you have to be o... | |
| Advice on power cables Good luck, it's a minefield. I disagree totally with that ridiculous statement.I am tired of these comments completely out of left field.High end power cords have migrated from mining! It is no longer about gold, silver, platinum, copper or iron!... | |

| What is your favorite recording with a quirck The above was a deliberate quirk - here are a few unintended ones....How about when Tambourine is dropped on the Beatles "I'm Looking through you". How about on the Dixie Chicks Taking the Long Way Album - great sound but you can hear where they f... | |
| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY This is your binding post.You could also consider to order the appropriate WBT banana plug and make your connection even more secure. | |
| Unusual parallel speaker cables - DIY Nice I like the way you did the speakers. | |
