Crossover upgrade capacitor question
Lets back up.. If in fact they are 2 8 uF caps equalling 16 uF in a parallel design, yes you could go to one cap.. however the reason they were probably in there was that whatever that manufacture is they used might have been cheaper to use 2 of t... 
Despise conventional dome tweeters
Crossovers and overall integration of the design is the key, not whether its a dome or not.. They can work in the right application just as well as any other driver that somebody puts the magic behind to optimize its capability. 
Tube Phono?
You answered your own question, you already own a Jolida.. The JD-9a which is their standalone is DEAD silent. I don't even know its on like a CD player its nutty, I have the newest version however so basically they have made some small changes ov... 
Are some cord companies "potting" the Oyaide ends?
They don't use silicone(normally), you could pull that enough to break it loose, but probably not clean it out enough to get the full metal and all that totally exposed and re-useable as new.. They use literally "JB weld" from most companies I hav... 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
The Claritycap MR Is just a killer cap.. in most applications my opinion will put out 98% of what a duelund does... Way better pricing on the smaller sizes.. Although not far behind in cost on the bigger values. 
new small room, big change
I have found that any room 12 ft wide or less is too small in width for any serious floorstanding speaker for sure… Bookshelfs sound as big as the floorstanders and much better in most cases with this situation going on, including even bass is rat...

Stones: Sticky FIngers.....
THE MOFI IS RIDICULOUS!! It is the most compressed version of mush I have ever heard, super low output as well.. The original if a good clean one will kill it. It can sound very good, but was kinda recorded in a distance on some songs and flat, an...

Not attempting to bring this thread back to life, but I found this interesting thread... Volleyguy will get off reading this :-) Still not sure if you ever changed out those woofer inductors this might point you in the right direction. By the way ... 
Oppo 983 vs Sony SCD-777ES, any experiences?
Ajahu does not mention which model oppo, however I will say this the 980h which is the older version essentially of the 983, in most cases is almost identical accept the newer 983 supposedly has a better isolated power supply… Anyway the 980 easil... 
Krell VS McIntosh
Honestly with those speakers considering the pricing of what you are looking to spend on a used amp, I would now highly suggest just looking at the Mcintosh integrated amps which will get you the full spectrum of sound for the type of music and wa... 
Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass?
Okay I have not seen or read on the newest editions, only knew about the Top Palladiums, so yes those could be pretty sweet for 8 k new.. However I would venture to say the RF83 is as good a speaker and cheaper, with better low end and efficiency…... 
Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass?
Hi,Well I think you mean Palladiums, and it would be really rare to even find them used I believe, and definitely considering they are 20 k new you would not find them for 3-4k if you do find a used pair! However I will offer this, definitely klip...
