| Valvet A3.5 Block with Merlin VSM ? Hi Cruz!I´m sure there are good new productions out there.Unfortunately I don´t have opportunity to test free at home. I could do some tuberolling but its going to be expensive if I have to try a lot. I´m interested in EL34 and would like to limit... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Hi Manoterror and others!I´ve got the IC´s assembled from Neotech yesterday. Been running constant for about 14 hours. Immediate impression was midrange blurry (like a curtain in front), now it "opened up" and sound is clearer. I use 20 awg for ea... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Hi Manoterror!I will but first I would like to ask the "audience" if any of You out there has recommendation of proper wire gauge for interconnects. I believe the bigger the signal the bigger the diameter. Therefore interconnect has smaller diamet... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Hi Manterror!I also believe in silver nowdays, believe production methods has improved over past years. Purity of material, OOC-method in keeping boundaries of electrons passing through to a minimum I would like to belive has a positive effect and... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Hi Face!I´ll take that into consideration.These silver cables are wonderful in my Merlins, so relaxed and natural sounding, no fatigue whatsoever.Sound gets better as time goes, I read 200-400 hours before fully "burnt in". Just passed 170 hours.M... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Thanks all for your helpfulness.Hi David! I purchased the ones with teflon jacket from Parts Connexion but the cotton tube (one for every core) had to narrow internal diameter so I pulled teflon of because I prioritated thick cotton for both its d... | |
| Any experience of noisy transformer on Jadis amps Hi Guys!I tried tightening bolts without success.Have to take the lid of to see how it looks inside transformer, maybe I can see or hear clearer where (if windings are loose).Many Thanks! | |
| Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM After adding a bypass Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil of 10nF across Mundorf Silver/Oil cap for treble I noticed a clear difference compared to previous Silver/Oil bypass. Treble sounded extended and more pronounced in a natural/live way. Listening withou... | |
| Anyone compare Jadis JA 30 amps with JA 80s? Hi Rcprince!I use JA30 for my Merlins VSM-Mx, perfect match with extra power if needed. These speakers are very efficient and easy to drive, can play very loud without breaking up.I love the sound of these with NOS Mullards EL34 and NOS Siemens in... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Hi!I´ve now reached listening period for Mundorf S/O in X-overof Merlin VSMX, more than 800 hours for mid/bass and tweeter more. Still find them improving, you have to be patient to find peak point of burnt-in. Compared from start they definitely ... | |
| Best cartridge for Breuer 8C tonearm Hi Syntax!Can´t speak for Universe others then I´ve read.Most likely it´s propably a wonderful cartridge and should be for its price. I don´t know the difference between Universe and PC-1. But I do know that I liked PC-1 as soon as I´ve heard it, ... | |
| Best cartridge for Breuer 8C tonearm Hi!I bought Lyra Delos for listening while PC-1 was serviced in Japan.After about 40 hours the sound opened, it´s definitely a worthy contender in its price. Detailed and nice varm sound. Sound is not as fleshy as PC-1 with more pronounced registe... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Thanks Jonathan!I meant distance between mounting holes and stylus.My AirTight PC-1 cartridge (for service in Japan) lies around 9.5 mm. | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Hi Guys!After listening more than 400 hours on Mundorf S/O caps for midrange/bass it wasn´t until yesterday I noticed big improvement. I´m shure peak hasn´t been reached yet, based on fact that S/O for treble also has improved past days. The "treb... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Hi!Yeah, You did make my weekend for shure.Now I will listen for quiet a while and then make minor adjustments if needed. Most difficult part I find is getting cantilever parallel on zero-points (at the arc).Once in sweet spot it´s definately rewa... |
