| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Thank you everyone for your input. I am determined to get the right combo of values using these V-caps for my preamp outputs. I know it's a matter of trial and error, but the costs of these V-caps makes it a very expensive trial. I was hoping for ... | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? My Linn Sondek/Ittok turntable/tonearm. I gave it away for almost nothing. | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre No Joe. I don't need any CCa for now. I have a back-up pair and am good to go for a few years. Good luck and I hope you win a good set of CCa to enjoy the music for many years to come. | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre If you have your mind set to go for some rare Siemens CCa tubes on Ebay, bid your max because there will be last second snipers lurking nearby. | |

| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 Guido, I'm curious if you've tried your friend, Pscialli's 6.5 Mk II in your system. That would be an interesting evening of listening after knowing what your Ref 3 sounds like. | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Well, here's my situation. I recently replaced two 4.0uf Hovland Musicaps for equal value V-Cap OIMP(oil impregnated) caps in the output of my preamp. After about 400 hours of break-in( ample time, I would imagine) I determined that the OIMP V-cap... | |
| Why so much trade in Audience AU24 Audience has developed a good reputation over the years. There are many variables as to why so much trade on Audiogon,i.e people upgrading either in same line or different make, people want to just try something else in their system, and many more... | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Imin2u, Just what are the "right" ones? | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre I agree, Joe. You need to be careful and selective. You need to have assurance that you are getting a geniune Siemens CCa tube when they are commanding such high prices. | |

| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Thank you Tom, for your detailed reply. I have tube monoblock amps that also have an input impedance of 100K ohms. As I understand the formula for determining the preamp output cap value, the lower the cap value, the lower the bass -3db roll-off p... |
