JBL HDI-3600 Crossover Upgrade: Mundorf
Can we have an update on this project? You would be changing the values of too many components that you risking having peaks and dips in the response. Room correction might compensate for faults, but I'd stick to the original values and add Duelu... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Have you ever upgraded coupling caps? If you know, you know. It's part of the hobby for me. Sorry if that bothers you.  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Absolutely! I love tweaking components and will share my findings with you all. However, I need to downsize my systems and will look into new speakers with the Mofi under my radar. I don't have the speakers yet, but a fellow DIYer can help persuad... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
If any of the sourcepoint 10 owners happen to access the speaker cabinet, please post a crossover parts list and their values. While you're in there, install some .1uf or .01uf bypass caps, and let us know what you hear.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@paulski How did the upgrades work out for you? 
Best linear PSU under $1000?
@rareace The EVO is the most musical DAC I've heard. Let's not derail this thread. I recommend that you read the Mojo Audio Mystique EVO thread for more user reviews.  
Best linear PSU under $1000?
@rareace, I cannot answer your question because I briefly used the JS-2 in my system, powering the USB card and the SPDIF converter before relocating it to power my modem and router. Also, I used the Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix DC umbilic... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
I received the Mystique Evo on the 22nd of January, and I've been too busy listening to my system than to bother logging onto Audiogon. My system puts me "in the zone" every time I listen now. Grannyring mentioned that the music swells when raisin... 
Mojo Audio Mystique EVO
@mitch2 Have you read the thread regarding the Schroeder method (SM)? SM involves using XLR or RCA splitters to utilize a pair of interconnects per channel instead of a single cable per channel for those who aren't familiar. Read what steakster an... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
The Mystique V3 is posted on the website again. It appears that many owners are trading in their DAC for the EVO.  
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
Thaluza, do you know what capacitors will be upgradable in the future? The Mojo site states that the output is direct-coupled, which eliminates output coupling caps. Diode snubbers might be considered an upgrade. However, I would like to see m... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
Thanks, I'll post my thoughts about the Evo in the dedicated Evo thread so that we don't derail this thread. 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
@rsf507 Opting to max out the Evo’s B4B (Bang 4 Buck) options seems counter-intuitive. One might as well select the Pro and max out those options. Here are the options I selected for the B4B:S/PDIF Upgrade - Lundahl Amorphous CoreAnalog PSU Choke ... 
Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE
@freediver What do you think about the Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE? I'm looking at tube integrated amps and this one caught my attention.  
Near field monitor advice please
I forgot to mention the Carrera speaker kit from Meniscus Audio. It uses the Hiquphon OW1 tweeter and the 5.5" Scanspeak Revelator woofer. This speaker falls within your budget even if you commission Taylor Speakers or Salk Sound to make the cabin...
