Re: SDA CRS+ Crossover recap
Ok 👌 glued and reassembling.. Black and Blue are positive ? I forgot to pay attention to the woofers when I removed them .. I assume black/white wires to the black/white labeled woofer and the pink woofer to the colored wires ?

Re: SDA CRS+ Crossover recap
That’s what I came up with. Best I could do with my limited creativity 😂 It would have been easier if the leads on the capacitors were slightly longer.
@Gardenstater I didn't even notice that 20uf was oval till you mentioned it. That actually helped a lot.
BTW - that’s the board that had come loose and was rattling around inside the cabinet. Notice the broken plastic on the inductors. It also has some scratches on the circuit board that look superficial. Will the scratches affect anything?

Re: SDA CRS+ Crossover recap
I thought that big 40uf was going to be a problem … turns out, it’s the other 2 caps I can’t figure out how to fit properly.
My creativity has run out for the night 😂

Re: SDA CRS+ Crossover recap
New capacitors and resistors arrived today. Wow .. I didn’t really think about it before hand but that 40uf is pretty big.

Re: Short pair of Signal Cable I/C's
I would still give them a shot as long as they come with a reasonable return policy. I'm sure the amps you have would be just fine with them. As you well know there's nothing like 1st hand experience with a new toy in your room with your gear. Worth a shot .

Cleaning out the closet - Pass Amp, Audio Physics Speakers, Denafrips DAC, Lumin streamer, Cables
Hi Guys,
I keep doing the fun part of upgrading but need to let go of items I’m no longer using.
Pass Labs X150.8. 9/10 $3600 firm. You cover actual UPS shipping to lower 48, let me know your zip and I will cover insurance. Original Owner purchased from Mark at Reno HiFi in Dec 2021. I have the original packaging. I moved on to an Infigo Method 6 amp.
Denafrips Pontus II DAC in Black 8/10 - $950 shipped and insured to lower 48. I’m the original owner and purchased directly from Alvin at Vinshine Audio. I have the original Manufacturer packaging (Note the original was not sold with a power cord) I moved up to T+A DAC 200.
Lumin T2 Black Streamer/DAC in Black 8/10 - $1800 shipped and insured to lower 48. I’m the original owner purchased through THX Stereo in TX. I have the original Manufacturer packaging. This is the item that looks like it has a smudge in the pic. I moved up to Lumin U2 dedicated streamer with fiber input.
Audio Physic Tempo Plus in Walnut 6/10 -$1400. I’m the original owner of these dealer demos purchased from Goodwin’s High End in Waltham, MA. These speakers include the Vibration Control Feet (VCF II) The feet retailed for $800. This item is local pick up only, though I do have the original manufacturer boxes. With regards to the rating of these speakers let me explain- I have a doorway off to the side of the room. I placed a 24x48 acoustic panel in this doorway. Over time the cleaning robot apparently nudged the panel until one day the panel tipped over the small threshold of the doorway and like a domino it fell into the speaker which also tipped over. The result is what you see in the pictures. Other than that these speakers have been excellent and I would otherwise consider them to be 8/10. I'd say this is by far the best deal on this page and if you can get past the ding and are local you would be doing yourself a favor. I upgraded to Joseph Audio Perspective II (Graphene)
Audio Art SC-5-ePlus speaker cable 6’ -$275 shipped
2x Audio Art IC-3e ICs 1M XLR Furutech locking RCAs -$150 shipped each pair
2x Audio Art IC-3SE ICs 1M RCA DH Labs High Copper Alloy Ultimate Locking RCAs - $150 shipped each pair
2x Morrow Audio M4 ICs 1M XLR $125 shipped each pair
I think the prices are fair but let me know
of feedback, questions or if I missed any relevant details. I will post to the other
sites in a few days. Pic's incoming.
Thanks
Rich
