| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? Here is a task for a youtube reviewer: stick the fuse in and compare it to a solid piece of 5mmx20mm copper rod. That should settle the issue in no time. The only conceivable benefit can be the reduction of resistance, inductance or capacitance co... | |
| Fuse Upgrade to Ceramic not glass More likely bad contact: use Graphene Contact Enhancer from the Mad Scientist (madscientistaudio.com): and buy the best fuse you can afford | |
| Sonic differences between servers Going out on a limb: InnuOS more analogue, Lumin very detailed and analytical, Auralic slightly more subdued than in your face, although much depends on the DAC and personal preferences. I am sure others will disagree on this. | |
| Tube Flavor Usually the best way is to start with the tubes the designer used to voice the device.,Unfortunately that isn‘t always practicable. In my experience the best way to start is by making sure what you got is performing at its best:1. use Graphene Con... | |
| Sonic differences between servers A server’s quality depends on noise elimination- from the ethernet in (RFI/EMI galvanic and filteror through optical)- from USB out (ground noise and RFI/EFI from power supply, vibration)There is quite a bit of debate whether AES/EBU or SP/DIF or ... | |
| Fuse Upgrade to Ceramic not glass Question to @mijostyn,Do deaf and dumb always go together? | |
| Pimping your router One more thing: make sure that there is maximum distance between your router and its power supply, whether wall wart or LPS. | |
| TONE Not sure about this but I think when you refer to tone, what is meant is the in-phase accurate rendition of frquency modulations, so called overtones. In my experience this is a function of the system‘s speed.This is why single drive high efficien... | |
| CD v Streamed @audiom3,I am London based, maybe a UK vs US issue? | |
| CD v Streamed I can‘t get either my audioaero capitole mk2 nor CDs ripped to my Innuos Zenith Mk3 to be anywhere near as good as the Qobus stream via Innuos. Not sure what you are all on about. I will though admit to having had to spend an inordinate amount of ... | |
| Ethernet Cables Try Meicord Opal, it‘s a revelation | |
| Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables @ozzy,You are welcome and I trust you’ll hear a difference, particularly at higher volumes.There is no need to play the system while the graphene is settling, it takes a few hours only | |
| Best Digital Interface As USB and Ethernet are packet based, you need to clock the timing of packets as well as the digital to analogue conversion. Reclockers only address the USB/Ethernet packet part of clocking accuracy.The actual digital to analogue conversion clocki... | |
| Hmmmmm speaker cables Try Paul Speltz‘s Anticables, value for money | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Another interesting low cost option is DNM. They do a specific cable for high efficiency speakers |
