| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Hi @grannyring ,Contacts of RCA connectors, tube sockets, power plugs, tonearm headshell bayonets,...are a big issue in audio.Does Total Contact Enhancer solve all this issues?Regards,Alex. | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! I compared Duelund Cu-Sn 16avg interconnects with KLEI Pure Harmony connectors and Duelund Gold connectors.KLEIs have better separation but Duelund Golds sound more natural in terms of tone. For example, high octaves of piano sound much more real ... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @cal3713 ,I use Duelund bypass Cu-Sn in my HF crossover - bypassing 3.9uF Duelund RS and in the output of my phonostage - bypassing 1uF Jupiter Cu.And before Duelund RS I used Duelund bypass Cu-Sn bypassing vintage oil 4uF capacitor in H... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @cal3713 ,Did you give break-in to Duelund bypass?They need more then 100 hours. | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @erik_squires ,I get it. With bypass I noticed that vocals, saxophones and acoustic guitars sound not as smooth and tonaly reach as it was without bypass. It seems it cause a deep in lover mid range.I think that vintage oil capacitors should be... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hi @erik_squires ,Thank you for advice.I have Altec 604"E" with Werner Jagusch Crossover.This crossover use vintage German oil capacitors.I already replaced HPF capacitors to Duelund RS 3.9uF bypassed by Duelund Cu-Sn 0.01uF bypass capacitor.But f... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) I'm thinking about upgrade of a second order LP filter capacitor for my mid-bass driver.I know the quality of inductor is very important for second order LP filter.How much a quality of the second order LP filter capacitor does influence o... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I have more time to listened my system this weekend.My amp with Blue fuse sounded good balances.Compared to Red fuse, I recognized better high frequency details, better layering and separation, bigger and deeper bass.The difference is very notable... | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions I use Belden 8402 RCA cables between MC SUT and phonostage. I need shielded RCA cable in this position. Has anybody compared Duelund 20avg or 16avg interconnects with shield versus Belden 8402? | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... In my case, the right detection is: For Blue fuse, lettering goes from outlet to AC transformer. For Red fuse, lettering goes from AC transformer to outlet.Is lettering of SR fuses random or it should anyhow correlate with right direction? | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Yes the "lettering direction" of "right direction" of the Blue fuse is opposite to the "lettering direction" I was using the Red fuse.So, it seems they have opposite "lettering directions".I have used Red fuse more than 2 years. I remember I check... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I exchanged the SR BLUE fuse direction, and yes the sound was "locked in".Now it is musical enough and even mostly better than broken-in SR RED fuse.But I steel have feeling that it is not completely broken-in sound of SR BLUE fuse. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Thank you all for reply." If the Blue fuse isn't in the proper direction, the system will sound somewhat out of phase." - yes it does sound like out of phase, like something is wrong, something is weird, not focused, not opened.I will try to inve... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I use SR Blue fuse in the same direction as I used SR Red fuse.Need I change direction to make my sound more open? | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I replaced SR Red fuse in my SE 300B amplifier by SR Blue fuse.Before this changing my system sound was extremely well balanced.After installing SR Blue fuse,The sound from scratch was dull.After 1-2 hours, my system started sounding balanced agai... |
