Audiocap Theta Audyn True Copper Mundorf Supreme
Thanx or sharing, and well done. I've wondered about the Audyn coppers, and know some folks who like the Thetas. I've played with the other copper foils and think they've been a great addition to my system. They all seem to present music as though... 
ARC Quality Issues Ref75 Ref5SE Ref10
Buy a Primaluna & be done with it. Euro design, premium Chinese build.I never quite understood my buddies infatuation w/AR gear that would workfor a while then..... Big silver handles, big deal. Though I do like the early preamps, sharp edges ...

Folks may recall that I've been rolling any number of caps thru a custom RK-34 pre, & line conditioners for a while. I've taken the pre and it's variations out of the loop and am only rolling in the conditioners at this time. Mundorf SGO, Duel...

For yrs. I rolled preamp coupling caps. Multicaps, Sonicap Platinums, Clarity MRs, Mundorf S//G/O, CuTf V-Cap. JFX Premium, Dueland Cast,mostly .22s, never in bypass mode. I also rolled most of those, including Dueland Alexander's thru a pr. of Mi...

In a power conditioner, w/Mun S/G/O 3.3uf, .22 CuTf VCap is about perfect.Expect long break in. Those JFX r impressive, but never 'loosened up', they remain rather clinical, cold in comparison. The VCaps will go up & down for a long time, but ... 
KEF LS50 Need Help
+1;-) Try some Daft Punk on 'em! Recently been running a Unison Research SR-1 on the LS-50s. A 80 watt class A hybrid w/12au7 triode pre. Put in some 'Bugle Boys', wow! What a fun ride! They really respond to what is upstream. Also, with good syst... 
Kef LS50 vs. Emerald Physics CS3 mk2
Rockadanny, a bit of everything. What the Kef's do well, they do very well. Subs would b interesting, but I kinda prefer the 'gestalt' of the overall system currently. As noted, I've been fiddling w/filter caps & outlets in a couple power cond... 
Kef LS50 vs. Emerald Physics CS3 mk2
Kefs LS-50 r great little speakers. Transparent & cohesive. Pure. Refined.Addictive. Somebody mentioned them as 'truth tellers'. I'd sign on for that.Musical little devils. Everything in audio should be so well sorted out & affordable. I h... 
Is Yamaha A-S2000 a good fit for B&W 803D's
I love mine running Kef LS-50s, or Daedalus DA1s. It's a great amp & a terrific value. It's got guts, refinement & soul. Plug it & a digital source into a Oyaide R0 w/a couple filtering caps strapped neutral to ground. Try some Mundorf... 
best sounding integrated for under 2500.00
I'll 2nd/3rd the Yamaha AS-2000. Very powerful, neutral, spatial & smooth, plus a very nice phono stage. For a bit of tube musicality, the PrimaLuna Prologue series r very well built & emotionally satisfying. They also allow either EL34s o... 
suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers
Yamaha A-S2000. Balance, tone controls, neutral spacious sound, mm/ mc built in. Drives my 6ohm Daedalus w/ease. Remote, headphones....I like it enough that I'd purchase the 3000 when it's available. In fact I willIn all likelyhood never get rid o...

Volley, the conditioner is a passive type. It has 4 digital outlets. 4 preamp outlets. 2 amp outlets. 5 duos in all, 2 digital, 2 pre, 1 amp. These r the orange, hospital grade type that offer a good solid copper connection. Nothing too exotic. It...

I also have Duelands Cast in my preamp. The JFX r small & lite. Theyhave slam & extension at both ends. They r spacious & airy. They may lack the ultimate body of the Cast. For me, they seem a bit to 'literal' fronting my digital sourc...

I like em.... But I put them in a couple of 'unusual' uses. First I've got a pr.of JBL Pro 'slot' super tweeters. These had a 1.0 uf Dayton cap, but required a 1.7 so I put in a pr. of 1.0 & .68s. Instant upgrade as you couldhear the extended ...
