Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Okay, a crazy amount of money into these Type A’s. (x2) 2.2uF Jupiter 2.2uF copper foil capacitors = $300.00 (x2) 12uf Jupiter capacitors = $270.00 (x2) Werner C-core Autotransformers = $275.00 (x2) Goertz Alpha Core low pass coils = $155.00 Wood, small parts and wire = $25.00 Things are sounding very good. Are they sounding $1000 good? I don’t know yet. That’s a lot of money! Listening to the Moody Blues right now. No grain or glare - but I’m pretty sure I can pull that off with a lot less money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 My LaScalas. Listening to the Pretenders - sounds really nice - but damn - so much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Dean, my La Scalas could use an upgrade from the AA I bought from you a few years ago should you decide those are too much money..... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, as soon as you have that figured out please provide the schematic and the parts list… LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Diminishing returns. I don’t think the Werner C-core autotransformer is worth the money - the 3670 is just as good. The Jupiter copper foil cap is overrated. It sounds great - but I can get this sound for half the money. The Goertz Alpha-Core Copper Foils are awesome. I’ve always been in denial about these things, but I keep going back to them - because all of the bass lines are right out front. I’ve compared to my standard build, which uses Audyn Plus capacitors and ERSE Super Q low pass coils - this build is phenomenal - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Deftones. Awesome, but I’m at 80/85dB - which is where the Type A rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I prefer the OEM settings - and that’s what I use (-3dB). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Van Halen - first recording. These networks need a few hours. 35 wpc of KT-88 Ultralinear. This integrated has a real preamp section - with a very nice stepped attenuator. “Little Dreamer”, sounds awesome. One notch on the attenuator at 11:37 PM. @mike stehr where are you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit close. Late at night - where the noise floor is lowest. Metallica. Black. Daddy Dee is gone - but I’m sure he remembers how I lit up his room with this recording (Quad II forty). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Midnight. I’m glad I invested in Jupiter’s. No brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Still doing Metallica. Sounds very good at 12:28 A.M. Sounds better than what I had: Jantzen Superior at the primary, ERSE 14 AWG air core low pass coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
