| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley...I'm sorry....I meant your experiment seems to have had a profound effect on your system. I have made many changes....low esr capacitors to my electronics but no changes yet to my crossovers. I'm using a NBS Professional PC on my Accuphase... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Your Blue note recording from '58 was probably recorded on a Ampex 3 channel. I find my best CD's are recorded around 58-63?....Verve Porgy & Bess with Ella and Louie A. is just a great recording. These Cast Duelunds have had such a profound e... | |
| Tube Amp,Solid State Preamp. I run tube amps with a SS preamp....I love it. Of course 16 300B's and 8 6sn7's is more than enough tubes to deal with. The plusses are I leave the preamp on continualy and I think the SS preamp balances with the 300B tubes nicely. look for a nice... | |

| Acquiring an awesome system, but how? As my SS friends say "He went over to the dark side"...Kinda Cheneyesque...but get some tube amps. You will never go back. I have a great SS amp...very transparent...but no match for my Vac's. | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Reproduced music....can it be musical...you bet...can digital reproduce...big beautiful tonaly involving sound..well if it can't my system is a one of. A single component won't do it...can't. It takes a lot of work and a great deal of listening to... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Dazz...very nice components. The Acoustic arts is a very fine dac but I have never had a piece of tube gear that couldn't be voiced differently by rolling tubes. It looks like the AA dac uses a 12ax7 so if your inclined I would try some different ... | |

| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil My experience is that with these ultra low noise caps...they are real sensitive to power quality. Maybe a hard wired component will suffice....but I have converted all my vintage to IEC 3 prong receptacles. I would not use a hard wired component..... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Here's another cap shootout....I agree totaly about the BG's and the Nichicon...as far as the Elna's I haven't tried the cerafine or silmic's yet. Recapping a Fisher will be a adventure...http://highend.projektas.lt/?tipstricks/6 | |
