Your imposition is a fool’s errand. It’s like saying a 4 year old can teach an accomplished brain surgeon how to do his job better. That statement gives a rather frightening insight into how you think. Really, if you want to be taken seriously, first do your research, then formulate a reasonable proposition based on empirical data (“it sounds better to me” doesn’t count)
. em·pir·i·cal/əmˈpirik(ə)l/ adjective- based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic."they provided considerable empirical evidence to support their argument"synonyms:experiential, practical,
"it sounds better to me" is a perfect example of what is empirical. What you talking’, Willis? Until then, you are wasting your time and effort trying to sell something Kosst and the rest of us don’t respect and surely don’t want. We have better things to do with our time.
Thank goodness "the rest of us" is a very small and exclusive group. All the best,Nonoise |
Newsflash! Marantz Reference integrated amps and Kinki Studios use "torpid little power supplies!" Someone get Paul Revere out of bed! He's got another ride on his hands. 🐎
And someone let creepstalker know he needs some new material of his own making. 🤔 A comedian, he is not.

From Lloyd Walker himself: Five days later it was back and in it went. Turns out one of the fine silver wires he uses to the speed control had fractured and was intermittent. This unit is also a tweak to set up. First leave it on for an hour or two to allow the unit to warm up. Next, listen to a record, flick the AC polarity switch, and take whichever way is best. Lloyd also recommends reversing the fuse direction to see if there is any difference in sound. While the AC polarity change made a difference, the fuse polarity did not on my system. Next, adjust the rotational speed for 33 and 45 using a strobe light and record, such as the KAB unit, which can also be purchased from him. This is super critical, but very easy to do. Once these adjustments were made, they remained perfectly stable. So much for further tweaks with the Drive. Eh? Seems like a better made fuse would be no big thing to Lloyd. All the best, Nonoise |

@three_easy_payements,
Great to hear! (pun intended).
On an aside, now that you’ve heard it for yourself, and you know you’re not under the effect of a placebo, or are out of your mind delusional, or a victim of confirmation bias, or that the stars are out of alignment, do you find it odd that there are some who are so over the top furious that anyone would benefit from these fuses?
You don’t have to answer that. 😄

If you find the highs rolled off or recessed compared to how it used to sound, along with the lows being loose or phasey, just flip it and all should be good.

But ignorance is all they have, which is why they now resort to a false sense of bravado ("put in it's right spot of...") and boast as if they've accomplished something.
It's like getting a child to eat their veggies. They refuse until they try it and then all the drama subsides. But the children have it all over these folks.
All the best,

@sleepwalker,
What part of "direct observation" and "experience" confuses you enough to think it's not "empirical"? Go back and reread the definition.
Data is just the accumulation of those facts and observations to be used in whatever calculation or testing format you wish to continue with. That, and I don't see how hearing something can be "tangible" as that refers to something you can touch.

Again, admin has seen the light, on yet another thread going toxic because of fuses And yet you recommend a DAC on another thread that has as one of it's highly touted and defining features, an aftermarket fuse. All the best, Nonoise |
Make that two cases, bartender! 🤣 |
So all that talk about other's poorly designed power supplies in their lousy amps and their boutique fuses was just a lot of hot air because you decided to build an amp that would often fail by design because you seem to think it sounds better that way?
You keep citing Nelson Pass's designs as the inspiration for yours and yet I've yet to hear of any fuses popping with regularity with his amps. If they did, we'd all hear about it by now and no one would be buying them.
Bartender, find out what he's drinking and order me a case! 😄
All the best,
Nonoise |
I never had a fuse blow in all my years in this hobby.

If you’re foolish enough to waste good money on boutique fuses, add an additional real fuse in line with the boutique fuses so there’s some real protection. Boutique fuses aren’t UL or CSA approved or tested in any meaningful way.
PADIS fuses are UL, PSE and SEMKO approved and they are "boutique" fuses. duh All the best, Nonoise |
Here's a perfect example of why that other tread was shut down: the hyperbolic, over the top, harping fish wives are taking residence in yet another fuse thread to wreak their havoc. 😄
All the best,
