| Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever. Mr P- One sonic benefit of a(top shelf) repair through Soundsmith involves a much upgraded cantilever(ruby), if available for your cartridge. Their Nude Contact Line sylus profile also is an upgrade over many that OEM manufacturers provide.(http:/... | |
| Power supply caps Increasing the voltage of a capacitor offers greater overvoltage protection, to the cap. Power supplies are generally designed to specific and balanced parameters. Thus; If you intend to increase the capacitance of your filter caps(beyond say 20-3... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Teleport the HOT AIR! | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? @Lacee- I believe it was Ivor Tiefenbrun(founder of Linn), that was quoted as having said, "If you haven't heard it; you have no opinion." Of course; that was just his opinion. BTW: Having already upgraded everything that you mention in your previ... | |
| Phase Linear HMMM- An echo, from an 11-12-06 post? Quite a delay! | |
| Have you tried SILCLEAR from Mapleshade? Quicksilver is what I've been using for years and have been very satisfied. Haven't tried the Gold. Perhaps: when this container runs out. But then(I believe), if you use up a container of the stuff in less than ten years(on audio connections), yo... | |
| Have you tried SILCLEAR from Mapleshade? Using silver bearing products on tube pins, is NOT for everyone. It takes a steady hand, an ability to limit the amount applied and extreme caution. Some have no attention for detail, should completely avoid the practice and perhaps the products(a... | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? I couldn't agree more, about trying before buying(at that price). When my Tact RCS 2.2X was new; it cost around $5000.00(not as deep a bite) and I knew it was easily modded. Like the Accuphase; it performs A/D and D/A, for both my sources and I am... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade for Cary CAD-805C help Hello Mt T: Cap upgrades will increase performance, almost anywhere in an amp. Certainly; in the case of that 2uF, but- the .22uF will be more noticable. The filter caps are the large ones that extend above the chassis, next to the power and outpu... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade for Cary CAD-805C help You must have hit ENTER, about the time I did! BTW: as wonderful as the 805C is; it would be a shame to use anything less that a REALLY superb coupling cap. According to the schematic; both SET tubes are using a .22uF/450V coupling cap. the final ... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade for Cary CAD-805C help Sorry to have confused you. My Cary monoblocks are not 805's, and have four 6550s each(push/pull amps), hence: two coupling caps each. The Deulands are available(discounted) at Parts Connexion. The only caps that are currently regarded more highly... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade for Cary CAD-805C help I recently installed four of these in my Cary monoblocks. A most excellent upgrade, worth every penny! AND- Yes; you can safely increase the voltage rating of the coupling cap(just FYI). (http://www.partsconnexion.com/capacitor_film_duelund_pio_el... | |
| Interaction between Vibrapods and shelf material I bought Vibrapods, years ago and while they were all rated well above the weight of the equipment; they all flattened out(the round hollow part). The ones I used with their cones, did not. Of course; those fit into a radiused recess, in the cone,... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? @Brownsfan- Great post! | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Mr Mental- My entire system(CDP, phono stage, preamp, monoblock mains, woofer amp) takes 12 fuses. That's only $720.00(minus the 12% Frequent Flyer Discount I get from The Cable Company). Less than I paid for my last power cord, less than a third ... |
