| Electrical supply home wiring project As Stehno mentions, cryo'd Romex is a nice upgrade. | |
| Cable question I had Synergistic active shields in two systems over perhaps a couple years, always preferred them on. I never heard any damping, veiling, quite the contrary, always lowered the noise floor and opened things up. I always plugged mine into power co... | |
| Power cords and soundstage It sounds like that power cord is moving you in the right direction, stronger focus and less flabby bass are good. You could really open up your soundstaging with some room treatments, diffusion at 1st reflection point on ceiling, and perhaps some... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps An interesting video giving possible explanation for sonic differences in capacitors. http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=6667 | |
| VH Audio Vcaps For those curious about sonic merits of various caps there is a very informative discussion at [url]http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=54218.0[/url] | |
| VH Audio Vcaps Magfan, I'm not using a shotgun approach, I am only changing one thing at a time. This is the very reason I still have the remaining stock caps, original cartridge, cartridge alignment. I started with what I thought the weakest link, the .47uf cou... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps Reb 1208, wow, I don't hear those failings. Still, until I do a direct comparison (swap out) I won't really know. I'm considering the RTX as a replacement for the PPFMX currently in my Joule pre.Vett93, the caps have over 100 hours on them in the ... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps My Art Audio Carissa Sig. uses the Cardas Golden Ratio coupling caps. Reportedly, these have a wonderful midrange, rolled on top. When I first got this amp I did notice a bit of roll-off, with time and insertion of silver cables in various locatio... | |
| Almost there but not quite.... If you're looking to add a warm power cord, you might want to audition a VH Audio AirSine. Air and spaciousness are supreme. Get it with the Wattgate gold plated terminations for maximum warmth. You could also try the Porter Ports AC outlets, agai... | |
| VH Audio Vcaps Mingles, I've evaluated in various components, the Auricaps, Hovland MusiCaps, Multicap PPMFX, Black Gate Rubycon, and various other cheaper caps. Will soon be evaluating Mundorf Silver/Oils in my DAC.At this point the V-cap is noticeably superior... | |
| Best EL-34 Amps? I agree, El 34's are one of my favorite tubes. I still use a Conrad Johnson MV 55 in my bedroom system. Previously owned Cary SLM 100 monoblocks, these ran KT 88's and 6550's as well, preferred the EL 34's in triode mode. I would think the Cary's ... | |
| Power cords and soundstage If you only changed out and rearranged the two power cords you shouldn't be that confused. If however, you changed out other things you have reason to be confused. Only make one change at at time!Power cords do make changes in soundstaging, so I'm... | |
| Reel to Reel Mess I don't know whats up with the servos, but you should be prepared to service the deck. These have many electolytic capacitors that leak over time, you may have to do some replacement. | |
| Holographic imaging Objectively, one would have to go back to the original master tapes to determine the sound of the recording. However, even this could be played on different systems resulting in different sound. In the end, interpretations of correct sound is foun... | |
| So whats your favorite music themed movie? A couple off the top of my head. Another vote for Clockwork Orange, more contemporary, Lost In Translation. On the cornball side, the musical Oklahoma. |
