| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Edit: Opps nevermind V-cap is out of control cost, I did not think anybody had a cap that high in cost at such low values, okay... I don't know how big they are either, might not have any kind of space for them especially since I would probably ha... | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Atmasphere, Yeah the V-cap forgot about that bad boy, could be a good choice and actually a little better pricing maybe, thanks.Jeffreybehr,, There is Qty.2 (2.2 mF) 200 volt auricaps in there, not huge, pretty common value and easy to get it seem... | |
| digital output crackling I had a similar issue and found out when I jiggled the Connection on the back of the dac it would knock out the crackle. Could be the RCA fitting on the cable or the shield on the Jack itself moving or something weird.. . I found another cable wor... | |
| if you had 2500,what player stands out???? Go with a DAC, its a far better investment and then try anything from a 99.00 DVD player to a 2000.00 transport and make a decision.. I will say this the Dac-Ah's for little money, which are also an Audiomirror DAC being a 16 bit filterless NON-OS... | |
| Zu Definition cable recommendation By the Way just to qualify my statement, I have owned Kimber, Audioquest, XLO stuff all in the 500-1000.00 range, however not on the definitions, and I would say my results with the libtec's are at least what I would get with any of those on my pr... | |
| Zu Definition cable recommendation NO WAX!!! It was like a basic sounding Monster cable to me.. No offense, but it is not in the same league as the libtec up in my opinion,I bought the WAX first too, and totally was like a very basic sound that I could get out of most wire laying a... | |
| Good Advice Synergy, Synergy, Synergy!!! does any other word apply? I have a pair of very expensive but huge speakers, that the material costs alone almost come close to the price paid, how about the sound? Well if matched with the correct configuration they ... | |
| Zu Definition cable recommendation I found the LIBTEC from Zu the most natural match... did not like the Ibis as much, its a bit harder sounding, libtec seems a little more organic feeling. basically I think internally they use the same cable, so trying other manufactures could be ... | |
| How do I warm up my system? The Sony is okay, but need a decent 16 bit filterless dac for sure, I have heard them on several sony transports that are used in hi-end machines, Krell etc... Go for DAC-AH, audiomirror, I think someone called Scott nixon has something as well.. ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Interesting... I got a little lost on the Re-attaching the XO or superclock, I was looking not to purchase these in the transport and just use the cheap osillator or whatever in there? And ad the better clock in the dac, I am not really completly ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Bombaywalla, What exactly is done to just modify the Digital out with no clock mod's? Just wondering, cause this would seem to be much cheaper to do than changing the clock.Also, I have seen some Mods to NOS-DAC's that add a Re-clocker type unit t... | |
| Looking for a source of vibration dampening sheets Partsexpress.com has great selection and sizes, and they are speaker and home audio based sheets for the actual purpose, used in many hi-end components, they also carry dynamat with the metal backing that I found very good as well, but you could j... | |
| CIA D200's Vs. Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monos ? Musicalmaniac, I have heard some Digital amps, and the extremes.... Not the CIA's however, you need to A-B test this and now is your opportunity to call them up, Tell them you want these amps for an audition to see if they will compete well on you... | |
| Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory? Taksil , your Pathos can be perfect for any of these speakers, 30 watt solid state output will have some nice slam to it vs. completly tube at that price.. so don't be afraid to try the solid state on them, and you have some tube flavor on the inp... | |
| Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory? I forgot to clarify, LOWER cost like 800-1500.00 used or possibly new solid state amps can work well with Zu, even people these days are using the Nuforce 1200.00 mono's I guess with very good results. Sorry to offend the tube God's, but I do alwa... |
