Thiel Owners

in some ways the PUR (CSA with thick end caps) outperformed the CMR
 

Seems like Madisound and PartsConnexion will want to sell most of their current stock of CSA and CMR before investing in PUR. Might be a while before we see PUR at these outlets.

Crap, I’m feeling a twinge of audiophile nervosa. LOL. Hard to imagine I can get much more out of these 2.4s but that’s also what I thought before the upgrades to my Ayre electronics.

Relax Beetle - let us work through the permutations with apples to apples comparisons. When the smoke settles and the fog lifts we might see some place for some PUR caps, but you're sitting pretty till that time. Spin some tunes with your wife. 

@those planning an upgrade of the 2.4. I've been in extensive talks with Clarity Caps and after harassing them (😬😬) I've got them willing to do a smaller batch of teen pieces rasch of the 14 uF and the 28 uF caps. The 14 will come in 630 VDC and the 28 will come in 250 vdc. 

The prices of the caps per piece, ex. VAT and shipping will come to:

PUR 14UH630V X 10 @ €165.00

PUR 28UH250V X 10 @ €142.50

This would mean 330 + 285 = 615 €  (677 $ / 516£) for the set.

I'm in, I've got one potential buyer who I'll be PM-IMG in a minute.

I need three more people willing to jump on the wagon..

Teen should be ten and rasch should be each.. ( for better reading and understanding)

Relax Beetle ... you're sitting pretty till that time

Oh, don't I know it! I remain *very* happy and full of gratitude for all your help, @tomthiel. If someone else has better sounding 2.4s I wanna know about it. So, I was kidding but also curious to hear the PURs.

I remember telling myself, when I last buttoned up the binding plate panels after installing the Cardas, that I wasn't going to take the boards out ever again :)

Curious if you have an opinion or knowledge about how to pair "main caps" if the full capacitance is not available in a single cap. Is it best to optimize balance between caps (eg, 7+7=14) or is there some degree of leeway (eg, 10+3.9+0.1)?
