| Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs) I have a pair of the same VAC Auricle Musicblocs that have been in my system since 2007. I have enjoyed the Shuguang Kt88-98 and Kt88sc the most. I recently put in a set of Psvane 12au7-TII driver tubes and was amazed at the improvement. I tried a... | |
| Capacitor and tube upgrade for Von Gaylord Lad L-2 So far, I'm liking the overall tone and timbre, but it still hasn't opened up for me. I also bought from Ray a 7000s power cord, so that also needs to break in some more. I have the power cord hooked up to the fridge to speed up the break in. The ... | |
| Capacitor and tube upgrade for Von Gaylord Lad L-2 Thanks, Mechans. My ultimate 6sn7 sound is flat frequency response, yet with great dynamics, palpable realness, superb tone and timbre. I don't care for any exaggeration of bass, treble or mids. I prefer neutral naturalness, without excessive warm... | |
| Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear? I'll answer my own question. No, the Lad L-2 doesn't invert phase. | |
| Top resistors Thanks Rodman99999, I haven't yet received the preamp, but as soon as I find what style of NOS Sylvania 6sn7 they use, I will be able to compare. | |
| Top resistors I realize this is a thread about resistors. I've ordered some PRP to try out in a vintage Marantz 2270 receiver on the preamp board I'm rebuilding to compare with the stock carbon resistors Marantz put in there. But I noticed in an earlier post by... | |
| Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear? I have had the Chinchilla interconnects in my system for many years. After trying many( and I mean "many") interconnects over the years, these Von Gaylord interconnects stopped my impulsive trying out interconnects and allowed me to just focus on ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I agree about refraining from using bypassing caps, whether in a crossover or coupling in electronics. Find one cap in the correct value that pleases your ear/mind and enjoy it. As always, allow for adequate break-in time before making your final ... | |
| Marantz 2270 overhaul Check out the Marantz Forum on Audiokarma.org site. It has a lot of info on vintage Marantz rebuilds and restoration. I recently did a 2270 I have had for a while, replacing most of the electrolytics with Silmic II caps and the sound is amazing. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Good to see that cap break-in is getting better on the Jupiters. If you do decide to go with Duelund, you don't have to go all the way to the Cast. I'm sure the VSF would sound okay for substantially less money. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, Just be done with it and install some Duelund VSF caps in those crossovers. :o) | |
| Audio Refinement Complete Alpha vs YBA Design I also own an Audio Refinement Complete Alpha. It is an exquisite sounding little integrated amp. I haven't compared it to a YBA product, but I did own a standard Complete( non Alpha) and the Alpha is definitely more refined and musical. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I'd like to know what Joseph charges for this mod to accommodate such a low output cap. The original TP 2.0 has a 4.7uf cap. Too low a value can raise the bass roll-off too much. I experimented with lower value caps in my TP 2.0 preamp and they ju... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Thanks, Scifi. I'll pop the top on my preamp and look at the cap values. Joseph has always been nervous when people get into their preamp and make changes. No point stirring the pot. ;o) | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Scifi, I was hoping to get a schematic of the preamp to see what the values of caps were in the power supply. I've been experimenting with my tuner and recently replaced the Panasonic FC caps with some Elna Silmic II and the difference in musicali... |
