Best caps for speaker crossover?
Nickt, what do you like about the Hovlands? Have you compared it to any of the others I mentioned? Thanks. 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
Speedball, another consideration is the noise floor of the amp. Although the Jungson is dead quiet hooked to my speaker with 90 dB efficiency, it may not be hooked up to a speaker with 102 dB. The BFS reviewer states, although the Jungson is quiet...

I agree with Maxx. It's one of the more cooler running class A amps. Nothing like the Krell integrated on which you can fry an egg. My room is 15'x12'x8' and it doesn't warm up the room like my last 30 watt tube integrated. Basically it warms up a...

Agisthos, the Jungsons are not slow in the bass at least compared to live music. It doesn't throw bass at you like many SS amps. The bass is naturally integrated with rest of the spectrum.Kck, for the money, it's hard to beat the Signal Cable powe...

Kck, the only way you'll know is to try it out. I, for one, do not spend more than 300-350 for a pair of ICs or speaker cables. As for power cords, I have the Signal Cable Magic Power Cord ($60, I think) and their Magic Power Digital Cord ($70, I ...

Sorry, my last remark was directed more to Koczka123.

Well, I'm not hearing what Agisthos is hearing. I agree it is lush and smooth, but not slow by any means. It's more dynamic than any tube amp I have heard under 200 watts (VTLs, AR, Atmosphere, etc). For example, I was floored by the dynamics in t... 
Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well?
I'm sure the DK will be a good match, but according to some the DK is NOT a true class A design. I doubt it, myself, because the amp runs pretty cool. How many 150 watt pure class A amp do you know that is barely warm to the touch? I know of none....

My new Jungson has developed problems. The left channel started to intermittently go out and produce crackling noise. The power meter went out, and there's hum from the amp and speakers. It was starting to sound so smooth, holographic, and clear. ...

Jungson 88D vs Dk Design MKII
Lrsky, you make very good points. But everyone's musical taste is different and sometimes it's hard to figure out why some choose one component with another if one doesn't accept this. As I have said earlier, there is one aspect of the DK sound (w...

Thanks Maxx. Your input is always helpful. I will be emailing you regarding a private matter. 
Jungson 88D vs Dk Design MKII
I have to agree with Markmendenhall. Although I don't own the DK, I just purchased the 88D LE and have listened to it for 2 days now. I did have a chance to listen to the DK at the 2005 HE Show in NY. I was really impressed with the sound of the D...
