Input Capacitors for LOD - Page 2

220uF Silmics, now provided they are available, noted down. also, i've read that electrolytics colour the sound, while the Wima film ones are more transparent. i've just tried Vishay BC ones, no high end caps. am afraid ebay has fake ones, so i cant buy from there, and niether RS components nor Farnell have the Nichicons and Silmics so i give up on that. But i do know that these caps eat the High end a bit, the Vishay ones that is.

That is what electrolytics do --emphasize the mids/vocals. The soundstage through the Vishay BC i have has so so so much more width than normal. Conclusion: electrolytics would make it mid focussed and wide soundstage.
I gues, the reason why u don't like the Fuze is because it doesn't sound that much fun, its rather flat. The amp in it is not very powerful either. Put it together with the RE-ZEROs, i hate the sound. Colouration is when, there is a nett deviation (good or bad, the person dicides) from this characterstic sound that the Fuze+ZEROs combo is supposed to have. When its distorted, which happens with my BC + ceramic bypassed LOD, it is colouration. When it sounds good, as with ur Silmics, its colouration.
The LOD i have, is like better with my RE0s even. I have noticed the bass getting deeper, when moving up the capacitance value scale, though the farthest i went for was 470uf.
I don't like it with my Fuze>Vishay BC + some ceramic>Mini^3>ZEROs
But its better with the RE0s inplace of the ZEROs in the chain.
Conclusion: it has to do with Synergy in the chain. Not jus the LOD and Mini^3, but the whole combo has to sound good togethr,then i'd just like to go with the Wima films. The more transparent, the more control i have over how it would sound.
Until i don't get some silmics or nichicons, i won't say that i like Electrolytics in signal path. Also, the main reason my i bypassed the Ceramics (.1uf) with the electrolytics is that, when the Ceramics were put alone, the lower end was not there. When the Electrolytics alone wer put in, the sound was "very" mid focused with good lower end but crappy high end.
Put together, desparate attempt, doesn't sound very good to me, and distorts.

 So are u done with it, going to advice something here?
 

 

So i just recieved my Wimas yesterday, placed them on the Docks i ordered from Ridax, for my Sansa Fuze, and hell yeah, they sound coooooooool.....its like an upgrade too good... god i was dealing with crap when i was using the BC electrolytics....these are so clear, make the Setup sound tooooo good....the way i like it, effortless and detailed, clean ofcourse....bass because of the Mini^3 is tight and awesome, the 3D image because of the caps is impressive.....and these are 1uF 63V caps almost the size of 10uF BC electrolytics. and i hear the bass i didn't know existed.
