| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? No, break in requires more time for the extra large caps made by companies like Jupiter Condenser and Duelund. Values for passive crossovers from 5-10uf are the size of Coke cans. These windings take 500 hours of run in and experience from pros pr... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? We all agree everything is important 😉 I will certainly agree that the source is critical as everything else in the chain is dependent on it to sound its best. Great up front gear coupled with a good speaker will yield wonderful results every tim... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wonderful! Most happy for you. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Jupiter Copper foils do come in 2.2uf both in 100v and 600v. They are my favorites over even Duelund CAST. Want to really have the ultimate for less than crazy cost? Combine that 2.2uf Jupiter copper foil cap with the amazing Duelund .01 silver fo... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? The capacitors, resistors, inductors, internal wire, solder joints and binding posts. Capacitors alone take up to 500 hours to sound their best. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? There are far more differences between speakers than amplifiers in terms of the impact they have on the total system’s sound. You must start with the speakers and then match the speakers up with a properly chosen amplifier. Listen to as many speak... | |
| Capacitor rolling. Noise is certainly part of it on some caps, but it is more than that. It is surprising how tone and other SQ factors change slightly with direction. This is especially true in passive crossover networks. I spoke with the manufacturer of some very ... | |
| Capacitor rolling. Yes direction plays a role in terms of outer and inner foil windings. Many cap manufacturers, not all, mark the outer foil end of the cap in some manner. Outer foil is the input end of the cap while the inner foil is the output side. They do soun... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I use the 16ga stranded and tinned wire. It is more full bodied than the 20 gauge and my preference for sure. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA The Duelund wire is not directional. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? @jafant Agreed. I did not call him that, but responded to the exact words of the comment just ahead of mine. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? What does the gentleman’s age have to do with any of this? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Tom has an incredible voice. No worries. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Drive there and take the amp back. Bring a buddy, a big buddy 😁 | |
| Duelund DCA16GA The Duelund wire is better sounding than the WE. It makes a great IC and speaker cable. It has nice natural warmth and full bodied sound while giving more life and reality to music vs the WE. No synthetic materials like the WE and the Duelund is a... |
