| Shunyatas New CX series Thanks for your review. I'm glad that you are liking these new Shunyata VX cords. I started with the original Taipan and liked it very much on my ss preamp. I sold it eventually to upgrade to the Taipan Alpha version and wasn't very impressed. I t... | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Undertow, It was your post in Audiocircle, describing the mods you did to a Jolida phono preamp that convinced me to try out these new Claritycap MR caps. I had read in a few chat forums where these caps were being tried successfully in speaker cr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Those older late 50's,early 60's Mullard rectifier tubes have a certain magic to them that is truly musical. Legend has it that they were made by Elves in the Black Forest. Those same Elves today are making Keebler cookies. (O: | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps Good for you, Reb. It's pioneers like you that make this hobby fun. (O:) | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps I agree with Tom's assessment. Maybe bypassed caps can work in a speaker cross-over or in a power supply when properly done, but in a signal path, used full range, as in a preamp output coupler, I also hear these time and phase errors. In initial ... | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps "I've yet to hear a single output coupling cap that beats out a well experimented combination of caps." Reb1208 (Threads | Answers) On the other hand, in my preamp outputs, I've yet to hear any combination of caps that beats out a single cap o... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I figured it so, Pat. That's why I threw it into the post. (O: | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Joe, Joseph has designed an excellent preamp with a great topology at a specific price point. But even with the best-designed preamp circuit topology, it is only as good as its parts can give you, hence the desire to upgrade to premium parts. But ... | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp This thread could go on for months if we start talking about room treatment, but yes, room treatment is an important part of the equation. | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Wow! A lot can happen in a couple of years. In the meantime, a new "kid on the block", Claritycap MR( stands for "minimum resonance") has gone into the outputs of my preamp and they are an amazing cap. So far, the best cap that sounds (or should I... | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps Yes, I agree. This Claritycap MR has a completeness to it when used as a single, full-ranged cap. The bass is indeed outstanding, as well as the rest of the frequency spectrum, up into the stratosphere. | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp Agree with the above. The salesman is trying to milk you for extra business too soon. If you like the Wilsons, go for them. Better yet, if you can audition the Wilsons in your system, that's the sure way to know if you made the right move. Even if... | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps Any further updates on the Claritycap MR performance characteristics? I now have about 350 hours on mine in the outputs of my preamp and they seem to continue to relax, open up and allow the music to flow through. As close to sounding like "no cap... | |
| How to reduce power supply noise. Alan's Reference II walwart is amazing. I haven't tried all his stuff yet, but this new unit is so good that it replaced the PEII, PEIII, and PEIV. Amazing bargain for $100.00. Great technology. http://alanmaherdesigns.com/REFC.aspx | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Hey, Mike. Thanks for the commendation. This was all a "labor of love" for me. I know that Joseph gets a little nervous when someone gets inside his preamp and messes with it, but I had a gut feeling about this new cap and wanted to hear how it so... |
