I have used oppo nearly 10 years. Of course not the same one, I have had about 3 players up to the current one as they progressed into blu ray. Great player, great sound, great value. I use with an external DAC, was not all that enthused about mod...

JburidanI have to say that’s a pretty ambitious experiment, so you will need 16 total Clarity MR's at 25 uF? Wow, that’s gonna run in the 3000.00 U.S. range, and if you have not seen the size of these your in for one large cabinet to house them! P... 
? about oppo
Flavor of the decade maybe... I have one of oppos newest, KILLER! Especially sound and Bluray. Huge waste of money on any other digital, of course I run a DAC, but still under 700 bucks and its better than a 7000.00 boat anchor! 
Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good?
Audioman58,I totally agree... I used an MR pair and ousted a pair of Duelund VSF caps, and easily replaced a pair of Mundorfs as well. However, I do use the MR bypassed by a Mundorf Silver/Oil .1uF with excellent results, it does warm it a little,...

By the way as a side note, I am not sure the verdict on (Oil Capacitors) in electronics reliability these days? I know when the Jensens came out 15 years ago and started this whole DIY high end capacitor landslide that some say they did not always...

Regismc,Never heard the Duelund Alexandria's. I have heard the Duelund VSF, and the Clarity MR. Both are great, both can't go wrong. And the only comment on Mixing was directed toward trying to combine another type of cap either bypassing a duelun...

Duelund's Do NOT mix well with other caps I have found, Crossover, or electrical. Its better to run them all or nothing. I found however Clarity MR's do mix well with almost anything accept DUELUNDS following them. The Duelunds Stand alone and are... 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
CD is the VHS that is now replaced by DVD(putting digital vs. analog aside). If you want to compare, barely anybody will buy the VHS anymore so it is what it is just taking up space with the other very simple and higher quality solutions available...

Volleyguy, Theaudiotweak,By the way I was not attacking the validity of the thread or posters, maybe it looked like it, sorry. I just had to point it out, because there is a HUGE difference in running the true stereo pair you might think a cap is ...

Theaudiotweak,I have argued this point of testing one stereo channel at a time from the beginning with this project way back... So I just wanted to state it has been pointed out several times. Nobody seemed to care, basically Duelund is a very goo...

Sp 101's are are specialized Speaker stands, expensive but I think still less than a couple foot of Duelund wire! I have used them in some rooms with luck, they are for large floor standing speakers. Spikes are on both sides of the stand so they a...

Being you don't have much in the way of choice on speaker position as I assume your stuck in corners via K-Horns, and you are directly replacing networks with just the stock design and values you may have difficulty ever getting this full project ...

Well I will say this depending on the model of speaker who is to say the DCR was even correct in the first place. Like I said fact is that most manufactures of speakers under 5000 probably don't take account of it at all in the design, mostly look...

First off with all my experience in hand you are going in the right direction minus one thing. If your using 100% the original Klipsch crossover schematic theme on the tweeter than you will get into trouble, meaning they normally only use a single... 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
Its a mix period, both can fail to find the optimal natural sound. I think the current 20 year period most have felt that Tube pre + SS Amp is the best overall compromise. I can agree to a point. But I have heard some SS Preamp's sound a lot more ...
