| recapping crossovers....do or don't? I'm going to get my modded black gate C200 preamp at the end of this week....I have already got a ton of transparency...so i will wait to see what effect this pre has on my system....thanks for all the input...really helpful. | |
| How much does your system retail for? 30,000 invested sounds like 100,000....I like that. | |
| Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin I meant the stock vs my modded amplifier... | |
| Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin I have about 250 hours on my Accuphase P300 and it finaly came up. I think the improvements will be less going foward. But the difference between this amp and my black gate mundorf version isn't in the same galaxy. | |

| recapping crossovers....do or don't? The Duelund resistor change I find interesting.....I think they are halco on there now. There's all kind of options here....these speakers were designed to tweak...the boards come of in minutes. I'll probably go with duelands or VT...since those a... | |
| recapping crossovers....do or don't? I think the point about removing the old caps carefully makes a lot of sense. If I make a change I will replace the Solens first....These crossovers were last modified in 1996....so I think the choice of quality caps has improved greatly....nothin... | |
| Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin Thanks Paul....you are right over 100 hours and still morphing...looks like 300+ | |
| What should I change I agree that a tube amp can have a profound effect....but I'm of the same opinion as Mapman. A tube dac can influence the total sound of your system. Since you want to use digital as your source...I would try that first..as the sound can be tweake... | |
| What should I change If your system is digital.....I agree try a tube dac...there are some good ones. Of course tubes have a sound inherit that is pleasing to the brain and ear. I have both a SS amp and tube amps....both are highly transparent....which draws me into w... |
