Norm,
Never did the Tesla thing but multiple cryo's sound better than just the one. It seems to be progressive, I have had the same parts treated up to six times. Enhances magnets and powders as well. Chill only don't heat temper. Tom |
For anyone really concerned about sound quality and anyone who wonders which pole is up where, install a neodymium magnet, close your eyes and hear the light. Tom |
Its' only been five years and counting no smoke and no mirrors. One of the most shocking up grades I have ever made.
If you have no faith of the stability and circuit integrity of a particular component then don't try this. My preference for the maximum in sound reproduction. Next up a N52 versus a N45. Tom

A charge is always seeking ground even if it is thru a 32 gauge wire a hunk of lead or a hanging berry of sorbothane. The key is how long it will take that charge to get to the other side and how much of its original content arrives intact on that left side of the road. We sense this ..some do. You can see the influences of vibrational energy across the grounding plain of a electro mechanical device with the aid of a RTA.. it can be seen in the frequency response. |
And if you look at a virtual system photo and in that pictorial is displayed proudly and prominently a in wall giant resonance collection chamber [a TV] a virtual time machine of phase errors and noise, a sure cause of time release headaches and in the picture of that TV display you see a mirror image of the proud owner reflecting at his desk, recording his self image at his listening position and behind that hot spot is a row of windows that reside over his shoulders. A picture of science at rest. Golly gee, sure example of someone who should be giving advice and reasoning on the viability of fuses making a marked change in anyone's audio system based on that reflective beam box, laser like and bouncing back between his eyes ....That is a standard of reference to judge what? And then there is me guilty of my own giant run on sentences. figure it out your selves. Tom |
And the magnitude of difference heard within a reflective pinball machine would be more or less...or none at all. If you knew how to listen thru all of that maybe one, would be able to decipher the audio code. Ask the Pin Ball Wizard he may know. The difference of these fuse types is not subtle..no more than my dismissal of those who partake here and say there is no basis for difference or that they are unable to hear any. That's their findings..Looking thru a optically challenged Hubble telescope only reflects the glare not the substance. Tom |
See me, feel me, touch me.. whats that say about auditory response...nothing. But those are the other means by which we hear and communicate. When a violinist puts the instrument to their chin are they hearing only with their ears or are they sensing the music thru their bones and their skull? When we listen to music in the field how do we absorb that vibrational influence? Thru our flesh and bones. Perhaps means some people may be physically absent when they listen. Tom |
I have not sourced or measured the variations across a fuse either nor have I attempted that measurement yet. I have measured the before and after responses of an audio chassis on different ground planes at the same distance at the same frequency and the same amplitude and there was a visual difference on a RTA. Would the reaction of a current passing thru a mono-filament be different or much different than that passing thru a tube regulator which is after the passage of a fuse/monofilament ? Tom |
Thanks so much for the reprints. Now everyone can read them a second time. Tom

No I suppose I put that to the side. The magnet makes a huge improvement especially on the AC side of things. I have the magnets thru out my system. 3 in each amp 1 in each sub 1 in the pre amp and 1 in the transport. The DAC has a blade fuse like that in a car...that has more substance than the usual ware. I lent a friend a couple of magnets for his system just to mess with him. The dynamic balance was so skewed to one side he had to move his listening position way off center. He ordered some right then. Maybe the single greatest improvement I have made except for mechanical grounding schemes and subbing crap resistors with Vishay Z-foils.
Enter at your own risk. I know my system inside and out. All my electronics are the same over the course of many years. Of course all the components have been modded several times with more extreme parts. But all the gear is super stable and have never blown a fuse or a circuit breaker which resides in my listening room. Oh the system sounds better since I removed the front cover from the breaker box. Easy to do an AB with a couple witnesses present that quick.. its on its off..Looked at your system and I know some folks who designed some of your products.
The system is only on when I am awake and present.

This thread has become "weirder than a bucket of hair". So that means I am cutting out. Tom |
The magnets are directional as well but then they tell you that, at least on this end of the equator you know whats up...Try them with AVM. Tom |
No fuses just neodymium magnets for me.. Wonder if the Chips could possibly improve the magnets. Tom |
Norm
Other than mechanically grounding my entire audio system the magnets were and still are the biggest single improvement I have made in my hi-fi. Tom |
I saw this awhile back. It is also evident to the benefit of cryogenically treating materials. My mono bloc amps have newly redesigned circuit boards and of course all the parts including the transformers and magnets have been cryo treated at least twice. I haven't moved or changed any other device in months waiting for the amp re assembly to begin. I wonder if the magnets would now show a lower resistance after nearly being frozen in time. Tom |
Norm the T3 has lower resistance when cryo'd the T2 has the opposite result. Tom |
