Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The human ears are still the best "magic meter" that mankind has. (o: | |
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I'm a little confused. Are you saying that when you replaced the caps in the amp with the Duelund VSF, that's when you lost the magic? | |
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hey Mark! I'm glad to see that you found a new cord to help make your system sing. It's been quiet on this thread lately. I hope you all have a very happy and safe holiday season. | |
Shunyatas New CX series That's an interesting question, Gbmcleod. I have new interconnects just introduced to my system, so too many variables. I'm thinking that prior to adding the new interconnects cymbals might have been a bit soft-sounding, but until I get everything... | |
Covering silver wire for use as a speaker cable Here's a basic "rule of thumb" for estimating wire gauge needed when combining gauges. There's a chart for this somewhere. Every time you double up the amount of silver, the effective wire gauge goes DOWN 3 steps. If you double-up on 18 ga., the ... | |
The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect I had a Thorens TD125, stock version, with Grace 707 MkII arm many years ago( @1977). I bought a stock Linn turntable in 1979 and the sound was far superior. Chris' mods might bring it up to another level. I miss vinyl. I sold my Linn back in 2002... | |
virtual dynamics new ultra clear interconnects I'm having difficulty getting onto their web site. Do I have just server issues? | |
Shunyatas New CX series I have also read where more and more people are seeing the importance of a good power cord in their system. Some actually saying that it's more like a component upgrade. I have found that it is all a sum of its parts thing. The power cord is impor... | |
Shunyatas New CX series Yes, the 3-D effect is one of the great new attributes of this new Python CX along with the wonderful depth, height and width in the soundstage. Dynamics( micro and macro) is another great attribute. The power cord continues to improve on my pream... | |
Shunyatas New CX series I'm glad to hear that things worked out for you. The Python CX continues to smooth out with time. At this point, on my preamp, any over-emphasis of articulation is gone for me. Nothing but the music. Did I mention that female voices sound wonderfu... | |
Virtual Dynamics vs Tesla Regarding Virtual Dynamics, does anyone know what their status is? I can't get onto their web site. | |
virtual dynamics new ultra clear interconnects Alpass, how're those new Ultraclears sounding in your system? Do you know what the status is at Virtual Dynamics? I was thinking about trying a pair of Ultraclear, but I read on another thread that VD wasn't taking any new orders at this time. | |
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I agree. Choosing materials is one thing. How they are engineered into the final product is another. | |
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy, The interconnects weren't made by Duelund. They are from a relatively new company. I also installed some new speaker internal wire with special wire containing no plastic, these made for or by Marigo Labs. The speaker wires are one of m... | |
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I think I'm finally understanding how detrimental plastic is in audio. I have replaced my speaker caps with Duelund VSF copper as well as the coupling caps in my preamp. I also recently went with new interconnects that don't have any plastic( i.e.... |
