| Anybody familiar with Mundorf silver&oil caps For signal coupling caps, I find the silver-gold oil to be harmonically more complete than the silver oil. They are both a little bright, compared to a copper wire, and some other caps, but sound superior to almost all audiophile signal caps.I wou... | |
| Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83 Well, it sounds like they are all better than a stock player. The question still remains on how they compare to each other.If they are close, I guess it would come down to system synergy and budget. | |
| just auditioned tannoy yorkminster The Tannoy speakers with dual concentric drivers normally sound excellent with turntables and reel to reel decks. This has been confirmed a few times over. CDs are flawed, but some of the newer digital gear may sound good with the Tannoys. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Adwiegart,I use the Alan Maher Ref. II to best effect with the Powercell 10 SE. It works better ahead of the Precision AC, which comes with the 10 SE, rather than plugged into the 10 SE's outlets.The Alan Maher Infinitys or CBFs, (Circuit Breaker ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Adweigert and Audiofeil,I have a 10 SE and ended up using the Alan Maher units with it for best results. Actually, the results are outstanding.I did remove other AC tweeks such as the Quantum Symphony, Tice Line enhancer and some Quartz filled box... | |
| BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions? I have owned and modified a BAT preamp. It started out as a VK-5, then 5I, then 5 SE. Then I modified the 5 SE.I upgraded the coupling caps, the Vishay resistors to the newer Z foil, and replaced some of the power resistors with Shinkoa tantalum.M... | |
| Review: Monarchy Audio SM-70 pro Amplifier What amps are better than these for 5K or less? (monos please).I am considering the Electrocompaniet 180AWs, but each mono amp costs four times as much as a pair of SM-70 Pros. But you do get a little over twice the power. So power wise, the EC am... | |

| marantz 11s2 sacd player modifications Welbourne Labs sells hybrid modules for players. They come with an outboard power supply, which is a very good idea. This way you can use a power cord optimized for the analog stage, and another for the digital. Same for PLCs.The modules have a tu... | |
| Purist, Legenburg or K-S? I really like the Purist Dominus Powercord on tubed equipment. My favorites are the Purist and Virtual Dynamics for tubed equipment, with the Virtual Dynamics having more bass punch, if needed. Both are cleaner and have a more correct tone quality... | |
| Synergistic Research Powercell - Does it compare? I'd like to know if Hifi Sound Guy or anyone else has compared the new Bybee PLC to the Synergistic Powercell. What did you hear ? | |
| Synergistic Research Powercell - Does it compare? I compared the Powercell to a Runing Springs Haley and to a Modified PS Audio P-300. The Powercell is more dimensional than the Haley and has better instrument separation. Tonal quality is about the same. I use the Haley with a Purist Limited Edit... | |
| Kubala-Sosna cables? I have a set of KS Facination balanced interconnects, and I would describe them as hard to fault. They don't have the acts of commission and omission that many other cables have, including higher priced ones.I would suppose they are excellent for ... | |
