Stormen ever tried the aluminum VSF's?I think my vintage foils are aluminum.

Thanks Stormen. Just did not want people to think I am nuts, that the vintage and Duelund do sound similiar. I was always confused by the vintage Klipsch magic. I thought it was horns. Then put in the Sonicaps and the speakers sounded "cheap". I w...

Interesting note.Ask the youngest daughter (the one who asks to go and sit in a stereo store for 2 hours no complaints listening to music) freaked the salesman out he just kept looking at her like what is she doing? I asked what she though of upst...

Interesting note.When I installed the Sonicaps (mids and tweeter) I could not listen to both speakers at the same time. They sounded like to speakers out of phase one going in while one going out. With the Duelund I have done most "voiceing" on on...

Stormen I hear in your thread you mention that passive (Duelund) sounds much better than active for car stereo?Is this correct?

Stormen thanks for the article.I used to find this DIY stuff kind of nuts. Like how could any DIY guy get speakers to sound better than a major manufacturer? I often thought it was just to the personal tastes of the listener. I am finding myself s...

I did some digging on the Linn speakers and I understand they use Bennic XPP and a 10uf costs about $7. I guess I can understand the hard brittle sound? Supposed to be somewhat better than Solen and around the level of the very lowest Mundorf. Wha...

For those who read this in the future and are thinking of a capacitor repair/upgrade. For me there was some very good sites like Tony Gee's cap review. But what I found hard even after reading his review is what that would mean to me? He says his ...

Holy Crap John 19ft!Your wife and SET? Hmmmm Care to speculate why? I know (or should say hear) that with tubes vs. SS it is odd vs. even harmonic distortion. So even if a tube amp measures worse it sounds better. With SET how much power and how d...

Sherod I am going over to his house for visit. He left here last night shaking his head talking about going home and listening to some of his albums. Wife was up today at 8am and had the music cranked! That has happened NEVER in 15 years together....

After the friend left it made me start to think about speakers. After I had installed the Sonicaps I was shocked at how the Klipcsh sounded like every other speaker? Whatever I had come to know after all these years was changed by caps. I did not ...

Friend stopped by and had a listen.He owns a set of Klipsch Heresy I's and plays guitar as well. (but not big into audio)First 10 minutes he liked the vintage caps. He liked the "fuller sound". It was a sound he was used to. He has heard these spe...

Just spent a hour upstairs with the Linn system. My kids who play in the basement have being singing along with the Klipsch for awhile now. My wife who was downstairs was singing as well. (Beatles CD burn in) That is a first for her!Today when ups...

I can not argue much with you at all on the Karik. Like I said myself I did not think it really that good at all. It was so far below my LP12 and I did not have the funds to pursue two top end front ends. Yes the Adikt is entry level cartridge but...
