| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @cal3713 , I think we are aligned with respect to our thinking on crossover parts selection in the Coincident Speaker family. I just don't get it. To pair the superb Accutron with a piece of junk in a 30K speaker to save $500 seams just weird.... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @cal3713, I am happy you have found the Jupiters to your liking, and I agree completely with your comment regarding the manufacturer's choice of Solens for the PREs. I know even the PREs are made to a price point, but I know in my case with the... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @charles1dad, I did not consider replacing the internal wiring. I have used Coincident wire externally, and found it to compare well with a few other options in the same price range, so I didn't think it would be an experiment with a high probabi... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @cal3713 Another vote for the Jupiter Coppers in your application as a cap to be placed in series with the Accutron tweeter. I used the Jupiter in my Coincident Super Victory II for that application with a Duelund Silver by-pass, and could not b... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @atmasphere,"I don't use the word 'believe' because I made the measurements which showed that the power cord **without question** can affect the amplifier's performance. The measurement is easy- the voltage drop from one end of the power cord to t... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. @charles1dad Merry Christmas to you and yours. Don't want to veer teajay's post off course, but you do see my dilemma clearly. The Franks are special amps, and I recently found a used pair of EML XLS tubes which are a step up from the Psvane T's... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. @mikirob Congratulations on your retirement! As for Geezerhood, that is more a matter of lifestyle choice than employment status. I am still enjoying retirement. We chose wisely with respect to our relocation to eastern Tennessee, and I think w... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. @teajay I could not agree more with respect to your comments regarding the virtues of the 6SN7, though I have not had the opportunity to evaluate that Tung-Sol oval plate to which you refer. There are some great NOS 6SN7's that are still affordab... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. This looks like a real find. Driving a speaker with a 6SN7 is mind boggling. When and where can we see your review, teajay? | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. I'll bet this guy thinks all rectifier tubes sound the same. I packed my turntable away in 1985, and have been listening to digital ever since. So I am hardly biased against digital. But there are plenty of people around here who could ace a ... | |
| Rectifier Tubes I have a deep respect for those who have electrical engineering backgrounds. They bring so much to this forum! I do not have a background in electrical engineering, so I tend to make judgments based on empirical evaluation rather than first pri... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados As an add on to Len's comments above regarding Heinrich Schutz, I'd like to recommend the Ars Nova Copenhagen recordings on deCapo. There is a boxed set of the Johannes, Lukas, and Matthias Passions, along with the Christmas and Resurrection his... | |
| Herbie's Audio Lab I recently made a purchase from Herbie's, and dealt with Robert who was very responsive when I had some questions. Not only was he quick to reply, but his answers were very insightful and revealed he had a firm understanding of the underlying sci... | |
| Is it time to just quit? My guess is that most of us hit a spot where our interest is dampened. I hit such a spot about 3 years ago. I hit retirement, moved to the mountains, and my passion for hiking became my primary focus. Suddenly, I had an ability to pull the trig... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. Uberwaltz, Don't you hate it when that happens? You bring something in for an audition and you end up keeping both, because both are really good at what they do, and what each piece uniquely does is something you can't bring yourself to do witho... |
