| Where can I get components footers ? Carbon fiber sounds bad. That goes for shelves, footers and so called musical instruments. Listen for devices that are made from materials such as brass, bronze and tone woods, all materials of music. Tom | |
| Absorber behind corner bookcase I would put a twin of the bookcase you have now in the corner on the opposite walls. Tom | |
| Audio Rack Construction Nothing like a 3 point suspension such as Sistrum. Nothing like a proper mechanically grounded metal shelf that won't warp and will maintain consistency. Tom | |
| Review: Diffraction be gone Anti-diffraction tweeter surround Tweak Paint the tweeter faceplate with a finish from Cascade Audiocalled V-Bloc. This product goes on a wet dark purple and drys hard as rock black. This will tame much resonance build up on the actual plastic or metal chassis that houses the driver. Fo... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object My choice would be brass or bronze the metals of music and the grounds for resonance transfer. Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My previous post that could be taken as a critiscm of the lack of resonance control built into the Duelund speaker wire was intended to provoke the thought process of how the same material {flattened silver conductor] could be altered by materials... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil RogerI use some standard Duelund resistors in my power amps, units you are familar with. They did make for a nice upgrade from the previous Norh Creeks. I recently treated the Duelunds in the amp with Cascade also the transformers and the rest of ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil If the Duelund speaker wire has no vibration/resonance control then what is the purpose of their Cast system for caps and inductors? There seems to be a disconnect and design dis continuity between their hook-up wire and what they hope is their pr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil RogerNo issue with using this un-shielded/sans vibration bearing dielectric wire internal to the constant bombardment of a speaker cabinet? Tom | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil If the solder you tried to use has a high content of silver and no lead you made need to add some extra flux, and use a iron with a different temperture. The no lead solder clumps and beads up if you use the standard tools and techniques, Tom | |
| Audio Rack Construction Check out the Charles Altmann Dac site..mother-of-tone.com. He describes his use of tone woods in audio the effects of finishes to musical instruments and how they carry forward to his DAC and his use of acoustic treatments. Information to be stor... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,Both Dave and I use AVM. Dave has told me he too hears the benefits of this blue goo. To my knowledge Dave has never used the Cascade treatment. I used the original version of Cascade 10 years ago on my Dunlavy speaker mod and it made fo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil SherodGlad you asked. I just treated the cd spindle platter of my transport with AVM and wow what a nice improvement..I have always heard an improvement after using AVM..now almost across my entire syatem. I use the Cascade on large surface areas,... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil VolleyguyIf you still have a North Creek inductor order up some Cascade Audio V-bloc. This material is a heavy anti vibrational paint that goes on purple and drys hard as a rock to a dense black color. I painted the parasitic filter inductor in my... | |
| Audio Rack Construction I had an old Mike Green rack. Very good in its time. I did learn to replace all the steel with brass for much improved sound. Don't try to isolate with rubber or any other type of suspended material. If you couple all the way thru and then mechani... |
