Hi all,
Having worked for Crown International during the '70s,80s,and 90s, we received
our share of audio weirdness including many who would have Crown enhance the
design its products by using their particular ideas. Crown amps were/are still
high end products that are still leaders in the field. That being said, one of
my favorites was when Crown switched from using gray color jacketed
interconnect cables to black jacketed cables. Granted we did change from spiral
wound shielding wires to foil wrap with a drain wire, but oh the complaints,
how we degraded the sound, how we increased the IMD, the THD and on and on.
Then there was the audio specialized capacitor madness, people would remove the
caps Crown installed and put the style of their choosing to enhance the signal
path. Keep in mind these are direct coupled amplifiers, so they were changing
caps in the feedback loops and in the compensation networks, a dangerous
neighborhood to be playing around! Some blew up their amps but Crown being
compassionate in those days usually repaired it if the three year warranty
period was in effect. I could go on and on, but this is a time-nuts forum not
an audio-nuts forum.
Regards; Rich
