Hello,
Well, this is interesting to come by. I've been buying jazz LPs since about 1958. And I've been trying to get them to sound their best for all that time since.
My current systeme is a Thorens TD-121 with Ortofon RMG-212 tonearm that I bought in 1962 or 1963; the current cartridge is an EMT XSD-15 SFL. It steps up through a Denon AU-310 transformer and then to a Diego Nardi designed Phi-42 phono preamp, DIY from Sound Practices. Then on to a 5687 WOT linestage, and the current power amp is an EL84/2A3/MQ FS-030 Loftin-White. Speakers are Lowther PM2A A.T. Special spec'd drivers in modified Fidelio enclosures, or Petite Onkens with Altec 802-8Ds on conical horns on top.
An *extra groove* as we used to say in pre-Motown Detroit. I'm long gone from Detroit now...in East central Vermont. Yep, it's cold here, but the music is an extra groove!.
Mention of the Clarity TC psu caps got me to this thread because I also have a DIY 24A/45//James JS-6123 HS Loftin-White power amp which until now has had motor run caps in the power supply. But they've been giving problems.
As a result, I *just* ordered four Clarity TC caps from Parts Connexion to replace them. We shall see what we shall see. I'll try to report back once they're in and once that 45 amp is back in-systeme, because it's the *grail*.
Keepin' On,
RC in VT
