| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Very interesting Tom. I am assuming that the original cap in your preamp was a 3.3 uf value. I'm curious why you picked a 2.7 uf OIMP with a .22 uf Teflon bypass. Is this because it matched the original cap value better? I'm curious what the input... | |
| The most missed obvious tweak of all The last time I had my ear canals cleaned, the only thing that came out was flakes of pure gold. | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Tom monro, Have you considered trying the OIMP(Oil impregnated) V-caps in your preamp outputs to compare to the Mundorfs you currently have in there? That would be an interesting comparison. | |
| Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs Eweedhome, I'm glad to hear that you were able to make a mutual trade with your buddy and that you found something more pleasing to your ears. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier "We tried to slow the capacitors down using a balanced copper IC, and indeed, this reduced the digitalizing effect we were hearing and because slower, created a better balance between low and high frequencies, but it thickened the bass and seemed ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The V-caps OIMP do indeed improve further long after the 120 hour mark. I heard nice improvements after the 150 mark, 200 mark, and 300 hour mark. The last improvement I could make out was at the 316 hour mark. The frequency extremes will also ext... | |
| Excellent review of CAPACITORS Must read I would like to hear from users of the V-cap who have put in an OIMP version and bypassed that with a smaller V-cap teflon. | |

| Can Epiphany X plug into extension cord, what loss Was anyone aware that the Epiphany X has actually gone through three(3) renditions? I believe they are X.1, X.2, and X.3. Does anyone know what was done with each change and how would you know which version is which? Oh well... Maybe this is a moo... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete This HD issue has been beaten to death on the FM Tuner forum. I'm hoping that someone from that forum will jump over here to give their enlightened viewpoints. I also am a die-hard FM lover. I don't know what I'd do without my beloved NPR station ... | |
| Upgrading from Cary Six Pacs Thanks Andy, for the info. Since I don't know what kind of speakers you have since they are DIY, if you know their efficiency rating, that would help to determine your power requirements. I have read that your Conrad Johnson preamp has a slightly ... | |
| Upgrading from Cary Six Pacs Andy2, you need to give more information in your question in order for anyone to give any recommendations. For a starter, I would list all the components, including cables, that currently comprise your system. Secondly, a brief description of your... | |
| Sony 9000ES service Maybe the Laredo service center performed some updates in the circuitry that are causing the unit to sound better. Did they give you an itemized list of work done? |
