| Power supply upgrades Thanks guys, think I'll go with film bypass caps on ps caps. Rodman, thanks for the specific replacements for the bridge rectifiers, something I've been searching for! | |
| Power supply upgrades I've been doing a bit of investigating on the new Takman 'ultra premium' resistors. Sound very promising considering the few who have tried them. These would go in the signal path. Anyone have experience with these? | |
| Power supply upgrades Rodman, my problem in replacing caps with Black Gates is firstly their size, the size of the circuit board is seriously limited. My old Cary monoblocks were all point to point wiring, much easier to swap out ps caps. Secondly, Black Gates are most... | |
| Power supply upgrades Thanks Al, the film bypass caps have been my first inclination from the start. What value bypass caps should those electrolytics be bypassed with? I've heard various percentages discussed in various forums, or is simply bypassing with .1uf caps go... | |
| Power supply upgrades Elizabeth, have you heard equipment with power supply upgrades? I only ask because I have heard of folks who did power supply upgrades and claim to have heard positive changes. I suspect this to be truthful as some manufacturers and modders offer ... | |
| Tone Arm Mass Sorry, that was supposed to be a link. Go to cartridgedb.com | |
| Tone Arm Mass Go to [http:cartridgedb.com/]. They have all the specs for proper setup. | |
| VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off I have the same thing going on in my Scoutmaster, recall reading about a resistor value change in motor, can't recall the value. I haven't worried much about it as the pop is so low in volume. I also have screech at startup, belt slipping on pulle... | |
| PS Audio DL 3 or MF Tri Vista 21 DAC? Brian, perhaps we have a misunderstanding of clocks. When I speak of reclocking, I mean the quartz oscillators that all DACS have. Yes, there are other DACS that have jitter attenuators that go by other names, but essentially they all do the same ... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? I've been doing a bit of research into the marketing of this Cayin model. While I have yet to see any marketing that states tube rectification specifically, some spec. sheets at dealers specifically mention the 5A5R as a tube rectifier. Also, the ... | |
| PS Audio DL 3 or MF Tri Vista 21 DAC? Brian claims transports may not make much difference as long as the DAC reclocks the signal. I don't agree, all DACs reclock the signal, some do a better job than others, the two DACs your looking at don't reclock as thoroughly as Esoterics for on... | |
| Tube-friendly speakers I agree that Merlins are very tube friendly, using them with 845 triode amp, sounds better than various push pulls I've tried. Still, I maintain the Alons/Nolas soundstage very similarly to planars, if this is important to you Alons/Nolas could be... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? If your theories are correct the Cayin is being misrepresented. On the other hand, if you like the sound what's the problem, I have a Cayin phono stage, good for the money. My Art Audio amp has SS rectification and I love the sound. Don't necessar... | |
| Got Ginko Cloud 9 No Help I've found a similar sound when trying the Ginko with my Scoutmaster. I heard a diminishment in low level detail, backgrounds weren't as black as with other isolation solutions. I theorize the Ginko acts as a suspension for a mass loaded tt thereb... | |
| Tube-friendly speakers I too like the planar sound, don't believe 60wpc is enough for any larger planars. Alon/Nola are dynamic speakers that throw a similar soundstage while being relatively efficient. I formerly ran various Alons through Cary SLM 100 monoblocks, very ... |
