| recommend full featured preamps? Mapman,I remember now its called the "Holography" circuit... Its pretty nice for those compressed recordings... I was not really knocking the carver as it is for the price its not bad, you can find some of the Mcintosh pres for 500 to 700 with all... | |
| recommend full featured preamps? Stick with the mcintosh.. Not even close to carver, carver is okay for 300 bucks used, but sometimes no remote, and the loudness turned on sounds like you are hitting a plastic garbage can in the garage... They have that goofy other mode I forget ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well I would suppose you heard of the audio note capacitors as we mentioned them a few times in this thread aloneĀ So yes the speakers are another one of their products, but not sure if they are what you would want or need, they are about 10,000 p... | |
| Lack in harmonic richness There is a lot I could say on this topic, and the sadness many have spent emotionally and financially trying to decipher the all powerful and knowing "Audiophile" Code of "Accurate" listening experience, and the "Enjoyable" corrected listening exp... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones BgordonSome effect can occur with just the main line in, I mean once you get to the other fuses on the board they are stepped down and normally only DC power at that point, no doubt they can have effect on your sound as well, but I suggest dependi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Face,Your not imagining, I used the MR's in a more critical location than you and its a much quieter and smooth background than any of the other caps... Yep the size is ridiculous on these so applications will be limited for most as they just won'... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well why not just finish your duelund investment off right?http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablspkr&1225763765&/Duelund-Speaker-Cable-10%-off- | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57 Just like the others ceramic is automatically a "Slo Blow" fuse and some components only come with "Fast blow" type, however most if not all should be able to take a slo blow, but you might want to ask your manufacture, I did and they even... | |
| Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion Highly recommend looking into even for new prices the Klipsch Reference like the RF83's for around 2000 a pair... Rarely you will find used pairs on the market, or the older heritage series like the new herseys or Cornwalls people will argue are s... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57I will let the secret out, however its 2 dollars over your price range... but figured you might be able to scrape it together :-) see link, they are the bottom left product.http://www.acmeaudiolabs.com/products.htmProblem is I did not know ... | |
| Estate Sale Find What are you gambling? I mean unless the voice coils corroded and ceased up or something crazy which would be very un-likely, go and run them suckers in... Higher volume even.. Worse case is the rubber would be stiff on the surrounds, you could ta... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Dave_bI think you buttoned it up nicely... Same experience I found in the end, it was at first something different, but could not point toward what exactly until you switch back to the old fuses a few hours later and realize the loss of sharper fo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I don't know of any wax paper anything quite honestly.. I don't know if anybody even makes such a thing these days.. However from inductors I have used, I have gone really stupid once and used the 10 gauge like 10 lb inductors from northcreek cust... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil "Is a Alpha Core at 12 guage air core better than the vintage Iron Core which is likely wrapped in waxed paper?"You are definitely mixing priorities up here.. First off guaranteed that a 12 gauge copper foil will probably trounce the wax 18 gauge ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy First off I would be shocked if your tweeter inductor is 18 gauge, probably not and its most likely a 20 gauge in that speaker.Second you are way to concerned in the case of the inductors.. In the tweeter it should be in the circuit para... |
