| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Timrhu, I don't know why you don't hear differences in power cables and such. It's a big deal on my system and based on posts here at Audiogon, lots of people get good results with swapping these things out.Now if you said you thought the price of... | |
| Bi-amping - Low Frequency Drivers I would find a way to suppress the gain to the amps driving the high frequencies, perhaps with a passive control. With this set up, your single source (preamp) drives twin mono blocks (or dual stereo amps) with the passive inserted between the pre... | |

| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? I hope our friendly audio manufacturers DON'T follow that advice. Currently we have Bob Graham, Steve McCormack, Mike Elliott, Ralph Karsten and many other respected inventors, creators and manufacturers occasionally entering the Audiogon forums t... | |
| Keef Out Of His Tree The Monkey Man & The Coconut He survived rock and roll, recreational drugs, fast cars, groupies and adoring throngs to be nearly "done in" by a palm tree.Strange times indeed. | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? From my review:....set forth by UL, CE and other electrical watchdogs, make this job difficult. Isoclean fuses...meet these codesYes, Isoclean fuses pass or exceed European and USA electrical safety codes. | |
| Tracking Force Gauges There are times when friends in my group want to borrow a stylus force gauge. The last time I loaned out my WInds, it was gone for a week and a half. If this $95.00 unit is good, and I have no reason to believe it will not be, it is the gauge I wi... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music I don't consider myself particularly well informed about classical music, sometimes mistaking one composer for another (or unable to identify) when I hear a piece. What I do have is a passion for all kinds of music, old and new.My listening tastes... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges Update:I just ordered one of these based on the comments here. I will let you know how it measures against my 1/100ths gram Winds after it arrives.Even if it's not perfect, once the "correct" weight is determined, the user can repeat that perfect ... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges I have a Winds and am tempted to buy that $95.00 gauge anyway, before they raise their price.That is a VERY fine looking stylus gauge for less than $100.00, did you notice they offered free shipping as well? | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Timrhu:OK, how about:With respect to the audiophile gods, I can't imagine how a power cord (as long as it is proper gauge) can have any effect on sound quality. Pile on.Or:With respect to the audiophile gods, I can't imagine how an interconnect (a... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music Kthomas:I could send you the list of my music collection - it's pretty definitive as to what is good music. Some people disagree with me, but they're just idiots.That made me burst out in laughter, thanks. | |
| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? Mrtennis, I'm just glad you hear the difference and are enough of a thinking man to wonder why.Some people say line cords don't matter and argue for pages, but never stop to listen. Thanks for listening, regardless of which one you prefer. | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Here is my opinion on the $25.00 fuses. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/isoclean.htmAnother option is ceramic type, which is better than common variety in my opinion. So, basically three price levels. Stock fuse, ceramic and premium (as r... | |
