Quantum Science Audio Thread
Tim Mrock was ahead of his time. His stuff was and is awesome. But nobody keeps great stuff like that secret for long. Lots of people are on to it now. NPS1260, what do you think that is? SR fuses and outlets, the glob of gray goop they tell you... 
Mapleshade-Pierre Sprey
A true genius in many aspects, and very nice guy, judging from my long over the years but brief email communication with him. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
OK I am reposting here what I just did in the other thread, my conclusions after using these cables for almost 10 years...I tried all the original CT-1 line up to Ultimate Reference (not balanced IC's). This line has now been replaced by the cheap... 
Rick Schultz`s new cable
oh bugger that is another thread and this 8 year old one was bumped! Ignore me! 
Rick Schultz`s new cable
What happened to the missing 8 years of this thread? Thousands of posts and info gone.I tried all the original CT-1 line up to Ultimate Reference (not balanced IC's). This line has now been replaced by the cheaper Reveal, and the equivalently expe... 
Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright
The descriptive term 'Dark' has the most confusions and different meanings. Dark is when there is a an overly soft treble that causes no life to the very upper treble. That's how I understand it. But some reviewers (not from established magazi... 
I have had the ADD Powr Wizard in my system for a couple of weeks and I'm impressed
I read the person behind Add-Powr is the same engineer who created the QRT products which was then sold to Nordost over 10 years ago.Probably his non compete clause has ended and he has respun the technology into a new company (with improvements h... 
best power conditioners under 4k
I spent years messing with power conditioners. I tried many different devices, both series filtering and parallel filtering, and multiple different DC blocking solutions as well. Eventually I realized that power conditioning gives gains in some ar... 
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
I met a guy who had a full set of SR Black fuses and they all blew at once on a power surge. He was buying some cheaper SR20 fuses from me, because he still wanted and believed in the SR fuses but could not bring himself to outlay that much again.... 
Nordost fans
Hi Alejandro I can answer this. I live in Australia with 240v but use products with US power sockets, so always have the same questions as you.The QB4 and QB8 are just power strips, so both will work fine on any voltage. I have a US QB8 at home he... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
I just want to point out these F1 IC’s are not based on the copper ribbons like the speaker cables.Apart from the Fractal treatment (which Max claims is his new and improved wire conditioning process), the interconnects are totally different.This ... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
Thanks MC for doing these reviews. The F1 cables have been out for a few years now and there is not much out there on them, certainly not on forums.These F1 speaker cables are fairly expensive for a 2.5m pair, however.I am amazed that in 2021, on ... 
Cable Elevators
If you have thick static inducing carpet, I found elevating your cables does make a difference. With a hard floor probably not.It's not just cables, getting your power strip/distributor off the carpet and onto its own isolation platform also helps... 
Best linear PSU under $1000?
I have been waiting for an LPS better than the Uptone JS-2 to come along. There are now some claims the Farad is better from testimonials. Let's see how this pans out.auxinput you are correct in thinking the JCAT LPS just looks to be a standard de... 
The Exogal saga continued....
The remainder of our disagreement you will have to negotiate with my attorney.I think this sums up that you have lost perspective on the entire issue and have become irrational. It’s no wonder Exogal stoped responding to your emails when you star...
