| Saving old vintage gear is a lot harder than people make it out to be. ESR of an electrolytic cap in good condition will be less than 0.1 ohm. A poly cap will typically have a lower ESR. The ESR difference between the two cap types is tiny and will make no difference in filter parameters. Just another audio myth r... | |
| Saving old vintage gear is a lot harder than people make it out to be. @jmncbh Glad you are happy. For future reference here is information to consider. The 100 uF cap was likely in the woofer circuit. Finding a reasonably sized 100 uF Poly cap is a challenge. You probably discovered that. Can usually get away w... | |
| Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room Jay didn’t seem too impressed with the sound, and he couldn’t talk his way around it, because you could see it in his facial expressions. Respectfully, to me Jay's behavior was one of thoughtful analysis mixed with some confusion. Was he strugg... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Neither do many of the members. IIRC Amir himself uses old ML class A monos, not high SINAD NCore or Purifi based products. Don't recall many of the faithful taking Amir to task for owning a system well into the 6 figure range. Anyone else spe... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @bobbyloans If you want to go full OCD, don't assume anything about the speakers. Trust, but verify. Push on connectors are bad. Soldered connections better. Anything magnetic at the binding post, replace. Picture of the crossover indicat... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier Do something besides spewing nonsense. Put forth a little effort and do the research yourself. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devinplombier Now that’s a load of unsubstantiated BS - heavy on innuendo and MIA on facts. All facts. Read many of the threads on ASR. Name calling and personal attacks routine behavior. Your comments follow the ASR model. Amir jumped a ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I believe Amir started with good intentions to provide useful information. The emergence of a vocal, sometimes arrogant and nasty, ASR following turns many off. Amir has done very little to rein in the most offensive ASR faithful. Amir himself ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. If we're gonna question every W/P owner's posting credentials, why don't we bring up Danny Richie's past association with AV123 and its convicted criminal scammer Mark Schifter? Geez. I hate YouTube personalities. @mulveling Nobody is question... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @hjdca Wilson claims the Watt and Puppy should be measured together. How is that going to change the response from 200 Hz up? Strange claim. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @mclinnguy Just search YouTube for OCD Mikey. Enjoy. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @mulveling You might want to be aware of facts before jumping on the keyboard to spread nonsense. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Danny does more critical listening in a proper musical system and proper room than the rest ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @simonmoon , +100 Nailed it! Age of the Wilson speakers is irrelevant. Good speaker design was not discovered last week. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @livinon2wheels He does and says things I don't agree with and I left a lengthy comment on one of his threads on YT and told him how and why I thought he was incorrect. He vehemently disagreed with my assessment and as he wouldn't engage in a f... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible. A flat FR does not by itself define the sound quality of a speaker. Personal experience with multi $K speakers universally reviewed as great sounding with flat FR. They wer... |
