| Capacitor So clear why so few use boutique parts in audio equipment. Business models don't care or ask why, even most audiophiles unaware of sound quality changes boutique parts can evoke. So, profit margins ok, most consumers ok with status quo, what's not... | |
| Capacitor I've used those Wima caps in a diy dac project years ago, meh. Some over on Klipsch Cornwall IV thread modding crossover with the odams, really good reviews. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming Robson Opulus rated as 8ohm nominal, 5ohm minimum impedance, therefore, no steep impedance curve. 86db sensitivity pretty low. Still, the Evo 200 should be driving these speakers pretty good, just need to turn up volume pot a bit more than usual. ... | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Chakster, I have SH-10E with 120v 60hz, 220v 50hz switchable power, only one I've ever seen. I purchased from Australia (I'm in US) where it was used in ABC mobile unit.Laughingfrog, good for you! I much prefer my SP10 II over the many belt drive ... | |
| Capacitor Up to now I perceived Odam as go to capacitor for electronics and where physical space at a premium. A lower priced and smaller size cap that beats higher priced and larger size caps? I'll be replacing the modwright caps in my phono stage with oda... | |
| Capacitor @grannyring , you've really piqued my interest in trying the Odams in my highly modded Klipschorn crossovers. Presently using combo of Jupiter VT and Audyn True Copper Max. So, how will odam improve on these caps? And how are they on tonal balance... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Again, one needs to optimize streaming setup. In my early days of streaming, the two transports I was using in that period of time, PS Audio Perfectwave and/or Mark Levinson ML37, both top grade transports, bested streaming. Over time, as upgraded... | |
| Help! Cure for transformer hum? I had power conditioner and tube amp transformer vibration or hum years ago, did the back to back caps on AC line, helped. Ultimately, I discovered it was over voltage from power company causing hum, 124-126V was typical. Ever since then I monitor... | |
| The first system you had that was "high end/audiophile", by you standards In early days don't recall an entire system I'd call high end/audiophile. I always had pieces of a high end system, early on had AR 3A, then Dahlquist DQ10, never had top of line amplification or source equipment to use with them. Only when I redi... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? @emailists +1, Agree with everything with exception of my mind can crave both the familiar and repetitive, and the complex and new within a singular listening session. In fact I suspect every listening session meanders in this way.Nostalgia likel... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? Don't mean to cast aspersions on previous poster, but Hey Jude is perhaps the WORST song ever made IMO. Every time I hear that song reminds me of my nephew singing along with that song, the apple of his parents eye. Everyone had to watch and smile... | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? I no longer concern myself with burn in, break in, whatever you want to call it. I believe, I've experienced it. Remember, its not only metal, likely dialectic more responsible for this. Anyway, I simply don't judge any new piece inserted into my... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? Some 70's music I can still listen to.Ball Of Confusion-TemptationsGreen Eyed Lady-SugarloafLong and Winding Road-BeatlesReflections of my Life-MarmaladeLove Me Or Let Me Be Lonely-The Friends of DistinctionStill, love soul music from that era, bu... | |
| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? Trivia answer, Stealers Wheel, have the album. I hardly ever listen to 70's music anymore, don't romanticize my druggie days anymore. | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? Presently using Jupiter VT, Audyn True Copper Max and Dueland Silver bypass in my greatly modded Klipschorns, so much better than Sonic caps. I use Duelund VSF copper in both my bam and crossover in my Merlin VSM. I've used many copper foils and o... |
