| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status I just wanted to remind all of you SR active shielding cable owners with non working MPCs, that I also repair them. I can in most cases repair most non functioning MPCs by replacing the thermal cutoff. A small fuse like device that opens should th... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Many thanks to you all for your thoughts and impressions. I just wanted to mention that I currently have a few of my latest V2 modified SR MPCs in stock ready for audition. Out performs SR Galileo MPC and in some applications SR Transporter SE, bu... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status fazee, I am very much looking forward to modifying your stock SR MPCs for your SR Galileo Universal Cell RCA ICs, and your SR CORE SE speaker cables. As member folkfreak may have told you, his stock SR MPCs that I modified for him to my latest V2 ... | |
| Synergistic Research Tungsten IC... any experience Hi Simon, Thanks for the kind words. I actually ended up purchasing Joey_V's SR Tungsten ICs. With my V2 modified SR MPC on them they are simply outstanding. You might be interested to know that I have recently been experimenting with a different... | |
| MPC power for Synergistic Research All the Quattro was, was four SR MPCs hooked together within the unit itself. If you want real improvement you must try my V2 modified SR MPC. It will blow your mind. Much better than even a Galileo MPC in every respect. Just check out the Agon fo... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status I just wanted to share with all of you what I have already shared with a few of my latest customers. I cannot stress enough the value of using a single dc cabled SR MPC (whether modified by me or stock) on each SR actively shielded cable. Each SR ... | |
| Anyone know what these are Not exactly sure, but they look a lot like the low pass filters from Legacy Audio used for some of their late 80s early 90s loudspeakers. Classic, Focus......etc. Bill from Legacy would just give them to you if you asked, if you had a problem with... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status The modifications done to stock SR MPCs back in 2013 were done to the tiny circuit board within the MPC itself, and as intended produced outstanding results when compared to a stock SR MPC, and even sometimes approached the performance of a SR Gal... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Thanks Colin for all the kind words. You should know that Colin is the first that has experienced my latest SR MPC Ver. 2 mod. I have changed the rectifier high speed diodes and the electrolytic cap, and as needed, bypassed it with a .1 or .01uf ... | |
| Review: Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge Phaser if you double check, I believe the recommended input loading capacitance for the original and even the new Clearaudio Maestro V2 is 100pf. I removed the input loading caps on my phono stage altogether and the Maestro has never sounded bette... | |
| 36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC I just bought a used pair of AQ Sky's. These are the earlier version with the two 36VDC DBS packs on each cable, presumably to make 72VDC using the splitters. I took some voltage measurements with my Fluke volt-ohm meter and measured only 36-37VDC... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Jeff, Dave, & all, thanks so much for the kind words. I started out this mod to help me achieve even greater enjoyment from all of my own SR active shielded cables, for not a lot of money. Then I figured, why not offer my services to all of yo... | |
| which male RCA is the best interm of SQ and easy t I have found the Silver Tube Reference RCA by Wireworld to be a fantastic, transparent sounding male plug. It is the same plug they use for their interconnects. Direct heavy silver plating over HPC with Teflon dielectric. The signal conductor bein... | |
| Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7? Tom, you also have to take into consideration the fact that the transformer within the MPC is putting out only 24VDC as compared to the cap, which is rated at 50VDC, is therefore really never being stressed at all and only loafing along, and will ... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Crubio, Depending on how much time your stock SR MPCs have seen in the field, due to age, a diode or cap may have failed, in which case my modification would fix that automatically, and would absolutely make the MPC sound night and day better! How... |
