Well I put in the Russian caps. I can tell the difference. Now to let them break-in for awhile. I got these off ebay for about 20 dollars for 8 of them

I have these Russian paper in oil at .47 uf if you want to use them for a bypass Hew. Let me know

Also check the voltage coming out of the pin on the tube that goes to the caps to make shure the voltage is rated high enough on the caps. Be carefull,there are high lethel voltages in the case.Also make shure the caps are drained before you handle them.They can shock also. You may allready...

How about a darkvoice 336i for the amp. For a Dac try a Paradesea. Headphone try Barydynamic DT-880 New Edition.

Quote: Originally Posted by Godkin Depends what cans you have, Hew. Strange thing is, the lower the impedance of your cans the more capacitance you need in the output stage of your amp. The 3.3uF/400v SCR polyprops in the 332 are just about perfect for driving lower impedances - like...

I was waiting for the first women to post. Seems like I have opened a can of worms. This is funny.

Maybe we can start a support group.

How come women dont appreciate good sounding music like guys do? I can have the most coolest fantastic sounding music playing and tell my wife "Hay listen to this,its the most coolest fantastic sounding music ever!!!" And she will say "yes it sounds good Rod," but I know shes just patranizing...

Quote: Originally Posted by Godkin I think the DARKVOICE amps, whether it be the 336i or the 332, are designed for higher impedance cans, like SENNHEISERs and BEYERDYNAMICs. I've been told by those in the know that the output stages with their low capacitances - 60uFs in the 336i and...

Good headphones will sound descent even on inexpensive electronics,but 10,000 dollars of electronics wont make a 150 dollar headphone sound like a 300 dollar headphone.
