| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Agreed jtcf. I just put 12au7s across V1-V8 in my tube DAC, which specifies 12ax7s and 12at7s. I dislike messing with what the designer intended but I have gain coming out my ears over here. | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Yes, and I wish I had a dollar for all the times people tell me, well buy a preamp with gain adjustment. Sure, they exist but I don't think even premium ubiquitous brands, like Audio Research, offer the feature. The digital side is horrendous in ... | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. Thought I read he may be selling this ride soon for $1.5M per minute—to consumers. | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread @daveyf , good!! It’s interesting how well he’s recorded too. I’ve tried to play slide guitar, in particular in the Delta style. I’m not good. I do know a resonator sounds and Doug MacLeod’s records have those types of tones and timber-matching nu... | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread It's 3 months later and I'm still hanging out here alone in the Doug MacLeod appreciate thread! At least I have him playing over the hifi. Cheers! | |
| The Beatles - Remastered Music - any updates ? Can’t wait to hear Dhani’s authorized rework. The demos he released are spooky good. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Great information Don! Yes, I find the hardest part of the surgery to be the put back—placing things just so can be tricky and when done right it looks easy. Deceptively easy. Parts Connexion is out of one of the Path resistors I need. That will ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier An update on the differences between the stock Suntan brand caps and the new VCap CuTF and ClarityCaps---With the stock caps, I had a massive soundstage; nicely holographic. With the new caps, the soundstage is just as big but the things going on... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV +1 Roxy and Donsachs. I agree. I think I'll stop on damping them--the horns and bass ports are good enough for now. I also like the sound with grills on. Donsachs, I completed a coupling cap upgrade to my amp and the CWIVs sound incredible. I ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I'm about 70 hours into the VCaps and ClarityCaps. Everything sounds wonderful. | |
| V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like Maybe silicone tape? | |
| V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like Quick question-- If the ODAM body is conductive, has anyone insulated it? And, if, so, with what material? | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I have now damped the tweeter, midhorn, and the three bass ports. Very easy modification. The crossovers are next. I have to sell something to fund the upgrade. I'd rather go in there once and do it the right way. So, I'm going to need ~$900. ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @corelli, I'm happy that my words helped at all. The PL is such a great product. I'd add a big caveat: Perhaps the PL is just too warm, big and dark for my system. With the exception of my CD transport (which I rarely even use) I have nary a t... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier jjss, thank you Sir. You are always doing good on these forums. I for one have learned much from you. I also like how you are open minded. For example, I saw you picked up a Devialet integrated. I like that you are not diametrically opposed ... |
