| Klipsch Cornwall IV PS @larbredor , I didn't swap out that massive 60uF poly cap linked to the woofer. That would be (a) insanely pricey; and (b) very tricky to enigineer for me. I would have to fasten it off the PCB as it would be too big. Don Sachs was of the op... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @larbredor , Sorry for the slow response. I don't get updates properly on forum threads anymore. If you want to upgrade the crossovers on the Cornwall IV, here's your parts list: All of the below *2 (2 speakers): 2.7uF 2.2uF 6.8uF ... | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... Civility is a bit more scare these days. | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... @hilde45 , I too saw that! | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Let the lower end of the market eat cake! | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Interesting! I'm still getting familiar with the amp. I've been listening to gear for decades so I'm pretty humble--I know that I need to really know the gear before I can truly say what's going on with real confidence. I think the tubes they s... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i FYI Chmaiwald, Linlai sells an intro 805 for $165 a matched pair (see that link above). | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Chmaiwald, I'm wondering if the stock 805s in the Willsenton R800i 805 are actually Linlai tubes. The reason I think that is some Linlai tubes, and their 805s, have a star shape at the top of the tube structure. Take a look at the photos here ... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Hey @ prof, I do get the aesthetic thing. I personally like them but they are a tougher sell for a non-dedicated listening space. I'm off to check out your Devore thread. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @nonoise , I'm tempted too and I have no reason to be buying any more loudspeakers! Like others, I've met AJ a few times at Axpona. He's such a sweetheart of a person, charming and passionate. He's definitely got the golden touch. I couldn'... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube, that is the question Great recommendations above. I agree that you should look at China Hifi. Just be sure to watch the voltage specified with the amp. If you're in North America, you'll want 115/120v. I've owned and built all sorts of tube amps. Willsenton and... | |
| New Wharfedale Dovedale @grislybutter, naw, love having you around! Just not looking to talk Linton. I'm curious about Wharfedale building these in the UK and what they sound like/pricepoint. I enjoy your posts and comments. | |
| New Wharfedale Dovedale @grislybutter, You may want to take that view over to a Linton thread. This thread is about the Dovedale. What do you know about them? | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @chmaiwald , GREAT write up. Thank you very much. I know everything is system dependent and subjective but I'm going to pause on buying Cossair 300Bs based on what you say--may not be worth it. Also, fyi, I run two subs with CW IVs. You are co... | |
| Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR @katylied , that may be true. I loved Rega tables. I don't own one anymore because I thought they sounded dry--but that's just me. The OP cannot go wrong with the suggestions here. Rega tables are very easy to set up. Plenty of parts. Arms are ... |
