| Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Hi @kosst_amojan .... Well, I guess that really depends quite a bit about your transformer first. My knowledge is limited about "Inrush" current. To those reading these comments.. In-rush current is the current flow into a product when you ... | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? The key word is "Advanced" Not a lot of truly new technologies... Look at passive crossovers... Off the top of my head, I can think of maybe 8 types of slope technologies besides the amount of slope applied, yet today, there are mainly 3 types... | |
| Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp I agree that it is very unlikely that you actually need caps replaced at this point, but if you are after a modification that would help. I can see that. I have replaced power supply caps on a few amps with very good results. 4 things that you ne... | |

| Infinity Kappa 9 Rebuild? I can help you with most questions that you might have about a re build. Not volunteering at this point, but I've been an avid speaker builder for 35 years and have looked kappa 9's over many times and understand them well. | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? You need to listen to it both ways. I have a DIY model that has bit perfect volume built in. Meaning I should be able to use the volume on my laptop and the dac continues to produce bit perfect sound to my amp. I have driven my amp with this dac a... | |
| Just confused about where to start Overall, no it isn't a problem to buy used speakers... You might want to ask questions first. If the speakers have been driven very hard for years, their suspensions could be weak. I'd personally want them to be under 7 or 8 years old without ab... | |
