| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Dgarretson, exactly my point, if you read back thru this now WAY DEAD thread facts are that even with the original posters testing and other amature builders thoughts bottom line is all this stuff especially with the testing of the cast was done i... | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps Sherod, Thats the exact same application I first heard them in.. A Tube Pre output cap, 1 uF stereo pair. Excellent from day one, trounced the Auricaps originally in the unit, and all that followed, the Jantzens, the top line Mundorfs etc... Nothi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face, these guys have not even compared the MR's in the same application, also this guy is doing it so half A$$ with one cap of one type on one speaker etc... I have ruled out any kinda true comparison... Set up a "STEREO" FULL fledged finished pa... | |
| Bass, more or less? GreggdeeringIs 100% correct.Getting excessive bass is very hard, most speakers that are well designed can accomplish it with the best match in electronics, but its more about the room environment. This is where you see people drop 50,000 on a pair... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years Nothing has advanced, just new twists on old designs... Some materials have become slightly cheaper and more relevant again, but only real "Advance" would be in Capacitors for crossovers, some extremely different and better sounding caps are devel... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC They should call it a "Loading plug" opposed to "Shorting Plug" | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC NasamanOkay what about filling the body of the connector with some hot glue or silicone? Guess if you go this route it will not be reversable, not sure, actually I guess hot glue will not really hold the connector body permanent, it would probably... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC 2chnlbenDefinitely with todays Digital Displays as all Flat panels are basically "DTV's" if you can get a copper ring on the IEC and its a standard WBT type IEC you use to make a custom connection/cable etc...Then what we are talking about above w... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Nasaman, Quite honestly I saw the biggest advance in Video with the tweak.. Audio about 5 to 10% maybe, video 15 to 20% cleaner. For the most part as stated above this is most effective on digital gear, however more so on the transport side even o... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Again Palladiums which is what this is about are a very cool speaker, the main change and very refined part of this speaker is the "Boat tail" cabinet eliminating the box noise issues and damping of your standard rectangle boxes. They simply put a... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Macallan7, NOT MANY!!! But most speakers use simpler crossovers, however there are several using outboard large ones, some only take about 1 inductor and 1 capacitor for example, but still is the size of a shoe box. Its not about the part QUANTITY... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Macallan7No offense I think you missed the point.. Actually NOT 90% of the cost so to speak should be put into a crossover at all.. But 90% of your FINAL sound is gonna rely heavily on how good the crossover is was the point. By the way you would ... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P-39F? Ha, I can take any Klipsch speaker and essentially make it sound better than "Thiel or Wilson" However Stock form some klipsch are just horribly imbalanced. Focal drivers are OK, but never found them much better than most decent paper drivers for... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Kenk168, in this case it really should not matter much in the gauge of metal used, its going to block the same for the most part, only reason I could see thicker being better would be with a really strong inductive/magnetic field, but I think this... | |
| Clarity Caps vs Kimber kaps The Mundorfs are slightly better than the Clarity CAP SA.. The SA's are a little flat, and exagerrated in some balance details, more compressed sound... This will totally depend on the application, some equipment can be better with one or the othe... |
