| Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp? Adding to the earlier comments about the ability of the Yamaha receiver to handle the load that will be presented by the speakers you are purchasing, I would point out that marked on the rear panel of the Yamaha, next to the speaker terminals, are... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Geoffkait 4-8-2016 8:11am EDT If fuses were not directional in AC circuits then we wouldn’t be getting all these reports of directionality. The data sheets provided on the HiFi Tuning web site contain the statement that even for AC - Resistance me... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS I myself am not comfortable installing fuses designed by someone unfamiliar with the concept of breaking capacity into my $5000 amplifier....My sentiments exactly. :-)Best regards,-- Al | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS The following was composed prior to seeing Bdp24’s post just above: Regarding Bdp24’s statement which Joecasey quoted above, according to Stereophile’s review of the RM9 the amplifier’s main B+ supply is 450 volts. That would be DC of course. Alth... | |

| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS +1 to the comments just above by Ralph (Atmasphere) and Mapman. Regarding "Does components with best spec sounds the best?": As you appear to be implying, the answer is "of course not." Sometimes "better" specs can even be an indication that the ... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Nonoise, thanks for providing the link. As some here will recall, the HiFi Tuning measurements were discussed extensively several years ago in the very lengthy "Fuses That Matter" thread. I provided comments on those measurements in a number of po... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Geoff, searching for the terms "direction," "directional," and "directionality" in the 294 page fuse catalog/design guide I linked to above, as well as in the search box provided at the Littelfuse home page, returns nothing that is relevant to you... | |

For those who may be interested in the meaning of "breaking capacity," also known as "interrupting rating," those terms are defined on pages 6 and 7 (pdf pages 10 and 11) of the ... | |
| Connecting Headphone Amp Thanks, Alan! But hope is by no means lost.First, I would give it a try anyway. It can’t hurt to try, and it’s always possible that the person was either misinformed or misunderstood the question. And in fact the manual says that activating mute "... | |
| Exogal Comet Dac Plus | AES/EBU Cable recommendations? The choice of AES/EBU cable that is likeliest to be optimal is more likely to be dependent on the component providing the signal than on the component receiving the signal, IMO. So I would suggest that you indicate the source component you are usi... | |
| Connecting Headphone Amp After looking at the CA200 manual it appears to me that you can simply connect the input of the headphone amp to either of the "EPL" outputs (not inputs), and that should do the trick. The mute function (and also the volume control) on the CA200 w... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Hi Ct0517,Note that I referred to London rather than Decca. While as you no doubt realize London was the label under which for many decades Decca recordings were released in the USA (I see you are in Canada, btw), IME Londons tend to be somewhat m... | |
