Re: NEW LONGDOG AUDIO WEBSITE

I have had Auditions of three of the products Highlighted on this Web Page, and each has had a very positive appraisal from myself. For VFM the Hybrid Phonostage has been very memorable. It is this type of design, that others are trying to replicate, with either DIY or Built Offerings. After visitin...

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

I think the same as Colin on his assessment, a request for a knowledge of a certain type of resistor with a not so usual value and now the part requested by myself has received reports of instability, so the tolerances being requested seems like a no go, has generated a business on the subject, whic...

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

In my view, The request for Copper Cap's went down really well, the request for Resistors have taken on a different route.
I assume there are loyal followers of certain
types.

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

I have informed the EE/Builder of the comments received up until yesterday about the restrictions being shared about Carbon Composite Types. The EE was keen to let me participate in the parts purchasing process, possibly resulting with extended info, that there might have been a direction to a suppl...

Re: Wanted: Pair of Copper Foil Capacitors

Thank you Steve for your interest.
I will let you know how I perceived the variants performances.
I like the guidance offered as to the effects on the Bass.

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

I will say I know the build and have been lending a critical ear during the last year during the development.
The build I am now involved with is what I would refer to as a Bespoke Model, produced to suit my taste,hence the additional support with testing Components in Trials, i.e Copper Cap's.

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

I,m trusting in the design and build of another, and as I am a EE numpty, I don't know the reasoning behind the critical value.
What I do now know is that the value is best at 1 Watt.

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

Another question I can't answer, the Kohm specified are needed, a batch bought and tested were not very closely matched.
So I was looking at Texas Components, which I am unfamiliar with as a web site, there are tight tolerances in resistors, but I could not find the value required.

Re: 57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

Wattage ? Now that is a good question, I'll have to enquire to get the full value.

57.6KOhm Resistor 'Carbon Composite'

Have a specific purpose for a Carbon Composite 57.6KOhm 0.??? Tolerance Resistor. The tighter the tolerance the better. If anybody can point me to a very tight tolerance Brand and Supplier, I'll be quite pleased. Or just maybe in a gear bag, down in the depths of a no longer required storage vessel,...

Re: Wanted: Pair of Copper Foil Capacitors

To put it in perspective from my end, seeing as my reference to having three different 'uf' value cap's kicked in a extended discussion. I thank IslandPink for informing on his experiences with Copper vs Poly's and the other explanations offered on what I might expect to hear in relation to Bass Rol...

Re: Wanted: Pair of Copper Foil Capacitors

With the Audyns now on the way to me, there will be three brands to assess in a device being produced, 0.47, 0.68 and 1.0uf. Even though 1.0 is the preferred value, it will be interestig to assess the Sonic Signature of the Brands. Any observations that others have picked up on different brands Copp...
