[quote user="rowuk"]I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.e...

Hi to everybody,I have used those caps: teflon V-caps, AN copper, Jensen copper, Siemens at the signal path of a tube power amplifier (300b SE) application. V-caps are technically very good, very clear, less microphonics, but missing s...

I'm in touch with a reliable technician who is going to build the Melquiades monoblocks for me. He has suggested some changes which I'd like to comment, he's having trouble to find some of the parts. I hope you can help with this:- Regarding C2 the 2...

[quote user="Axel"] I hope I got this right when going through this long thread with LOTS of information. Did you mention for upper-bass cross-overs Elko’s (electrolytic) only to be your preference? If I have it right, any special preference at a...

[quote user="Antonio J."] - Regarding C2 the 2000uF/450v cap, he suggests to replace it with 5 x 200uF/200V by Mundorf (he can get them for a good price, probably better those five caps than a single 2000/450). I'm not sure about this replacement, it...

Functionally, these are the same caps I already replaced once/twice (and wrote about) before, namely the big "parafeed" couplers. The unit came with bypassed 4 uF Kimbers, which were fuzzy and slow, so I replaced them with 3.3 uF Mundorf Silver...

Well written article, I think, and he is good enough to share right away that he is a "vintage" guy, and an AN guy, which helps me contextualize his observations, even though he does not reveal the nature of the $$$$$$ "ultimate horn speakers" (...

Here is one of these "Audio-Cretins" who is using a ML2.1. I am going to modify it a little bit, new high quality binding posts (WBS pure silver), Mundorf Caps etc. Someone here who did some mods or did think about it?...

[quote user="anthony"]Thanks for your
insight Romy. I can see your point about not needing to worry too much in
the DSET about coupling cap performance at higher frequencies but I would
imagine that the crossover filter caps are quite import at t...

|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]As much as caps in speaker
crossovers makes deference, so do they make in coupling applications. In Milq
the cap is light duty as the amp never goes A2 and the cap is not change the
polarity, still the coupling caps do m...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com

well, to add my bit of mustard to this here oldie thread.I HAVE mixed film and oils successfully in e.g. a tweeter x-over of a Burmester 961. The tweeter is an AMT (air-motion-transformer) and very revealing.The original C's are two sets of...

[quote user="manisandher"]Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.[/quote]The Hifi Deluxe was in the Le Meridien.http...

Dear Romy,Thanks a lot, I've forwarded to him your answers, let's see what he says. I have tried Mundorfs in some critical places in the integrated tube amp I'm using now and they are pretty good, expensive, but not at the level of those Auricaps, Ho...

Adrian, I specifically do not want to use wire to "compensate" for systemic problems. Like some pathetic believer, I have long held that the "best" wire would be "transparent". Since that appears increasingly unlikely, ...

Romy, I was asking questions here, and @ RMAF because I'm trying to gather enough information to build compression drivers. At my day job I am a prototype machinist at Los Alamos National Lab. I don't plan on going into production, j...

Well, Kevin Carter says he's had no trouble with his own Big Cardas parafeed caps, and his caps have been in service for 3 years. He did not say anything about anyone else, but he did suggest there are plenty of other likely susp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]fiogf49gjkf0dI am observing an interesting and surprising fact – I am begging to like my active Marchand crossover. I did a number of modifications to it and it looks like the parts are broken-in now – it does sound very pl...

Hi! I wanted actually to get rid of the behringer. Because I have only 1 super high quality tube amplifier and it was difficult to marry different amps with the speakers. And you cant use a high quality dac with the active crossover. I ll right now ...

Thanks Romy!I went with two tiers as I do not have much space between the speakers and the side walls as I have a 2.5M cabinet on the front wall.I named my amp Koshka as I always felt Koshka made a contribution to the development of the Melquiades an...

Hi Romy,Great site, got lost here for a while now searching WE13a after building a WE91a 300B set, quess have to reconsider sell and wil look in to the Melq's for the near future... Also it even got me a little in to horns...For now i have a question...

I have long wrestled with the apparently relentless upward tilt of hi-fi. It's like a rock skipping across a pond, and the overall direction of the rock's travel is upward in terms of frequency. Also, the rock "wipes" or smears out t...

Thanx Romy,
Yes, fitting "time produced" into the matrix is an important piece of the puzzle, don't think I mentioned that one.
Holco resistors are a great example, are in my notes, along with other resistors, and caps, that have changed.&n...

I must say that I have always thought the Cardas "Golden Ratio" schtick was pretty lame. So it was with no small measure of trepidation that I sent off a rather outlandish sum of money for two Cardas Golden Whatever 4.7 uF caps for th...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...
