| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Roger,As you know there is a big benefit in hard coupling any power transformer to the chassis with brass instead of the ferrous steel and rubber materials usually the defaults in audio. With the inductors coated in Cascade I plan on the outboard ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil RogerHave you doped any inductors with Cascade Audio V-Bloc? I know you have used this paint or compound for other uses. I did paint 2 North Creek inductors with this rock hard drying paint and it did reduce the Q by about 30%. I did not however m... | |
| Room Treatments KevinUsing about a 30 degree downward angle at the ceiling on these soffits many which are enclosures for heating and air feeds. Can actually be made into an acoustic benefit instead of a liability. 30 degrees works well on all wall ceiling inters... | |
| Room Treatments Room tuners for hire and others who model a room should do away with as many ninty degree intersections as they can. I have seen many store bought rooms displayed on these pages and on 6 Moons that are overtreated and overcorrected when in fact th... | |
| Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions? SabaiThere are some of us around who used the original Audiopoint's 2.0's for resonance dissapation on the top of loudspeakers and some chassis's. You simply turned it up side down with the point facing up. That was 10 or 12 years back. I also wal... | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker I still have mine and have done some changes...all simple. Even now more coherent and quiet. Wall to wall soundstage that now has more meat on its bones. The dynamic tension methods on the woofer and crossover...well no one else does that even at ... | |
| Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions? Well Bill at least he is here not pushing the same old crap that kills the music... convoluted foam and fiberglass. Some text books need to be set next to the toilet and there pages put to some good use. People should listen and think beyond the p... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Joe Grado in 1984 supplied his $50 cartridge with a free small triangular mount with 3 small protrusions that set between the the body and the headshell. Better coupling more sound.Tom | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Isolation only exists in the absence of matter. Come to think of it with no matter there is no existence. Drain the vein..the method is the magic. Quadruple entendre's may apply. Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Out of sight out of mind. Value is in measurements. A sand cast resistor measures the same as a Vishay foil or a Duelund. The sonic difference will make you jump out of your chair. If they can't measure the the benefit of brass fasteners over stee... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Undertow for your response. You, like me seem to make all the values plus or minus 1%. Do you believe that manufacturers go to the exacting component value matching that most contributors to this thread subject their own components to? I be... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil UndertowThank you for your efforts of observation and Clarity..pun intended. What ratio works for you with the combo of MR's and S/O's. Example please. Thanks Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil DaveAre you saying to measure the value of the main cap. A cap that is is supposed to be 10uf and measures 9.5uf then you would add the same brand and type of cap in this case .5uf. This is exactly what I did some years ago with a set of Dunlavy's... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow,Certainly appreciate your thoughtful input on these very difficult and time consuming evaluations. In my own experience I have found that the addition of bypass caps in speakers results in a loss of precise focus and change in the harmoni... | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... So Chuck lets buy a new mold..We both know how these speakers work and can work and the resulting playback is in 3D.. Tom |
