McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
What do you do when their under-rated fuse burns out. Can you still return it? 
A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights.
Tim, this is a site all about audio enjoyment. There is thread after thread on fuses, cable risers and other nonsense.The glare of a bright blue LED in a dark room for many will have a greater negative impact on musical enjoyment than fuses, cable...

John Dunlavy also said this,Dunlavy: That's right. You can go one way but not the other. Flat on-axis response provides very poor correlation, in general, with what you hear. On the other hand, if you have near-perfect impulse and step response...

Physics and electrical engineering does not change suddenly because you don't own a speaker company. I don't own a speaker company, but I likely know far more about truly advanced active speaker design than David, Richard and John combined.Pass ha... 
High end Class D amps?
It's Fremer. If a dog looked like a turntable, he would claim its bark sounded like Pavarotti. I take anything he says with a bottle of salt.

This is a really old article, and still relevant and covers this false notion about the perfection of 6db crossovers...https://www.passlabs.com/technical_article/phase-coherent-crossover-networks/ 
Review : Nobsound 24 volt 6 amp audiophile power supply upgrade FX-Audio FX202A Follow-up
honda6,You got taken. You know have a nasty, electrically noisy, poorly designed power supply, but as opposed to admitting your mistake, you are trying to turn it around. There is nothing "quality" about what you bought, but if the power of sugges...

Only smaller gauge inductors appear to be targeted at the upper frequency where there already appears to be resistors for level matching so the largest gauge really does not matter. The low frequency inductors are not air core for the intentional ... 
High end Class D amps?
It’s rare that someone will state so clearly that the don’t understand what they are arguing about. As a monument, I will place this here.Hint for George, EPDR is NOT a measure of current loading. It is a measure of equivalent thermal loading. Unl... 
High end Class D amps?
Is there a moderator in the house? Hey moderator, this @georgehifi character pollutes every single Class-D thread with tons of messages making a claim that is totally wrong. This must be the 3rd of 4th thread just since I joined.@georgehifi,I am n... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Hey OP, @ucdmac122005,As yourself, does this sound like the opinion of someone you can trust to be unbiased, take some care in their listening tests?  Pretty much a given whoever wrote this does not have a firm grasp of the physics of electricity,... 
Best high-end headphones with noice cancellation ...
Been a BOSE user for years and years and they sound surprisingly good. Had been considering a switch to Sony, but they had call uses (I used multi-use when travelling). Now that they have fixed that from the latest reviews, I would buy the Sony. 
Review : Nobsound 24 volt 6 amp audiophile power supply upgrade FX-Audio FX202A Follow-up
If you think you are getting "audiophile quality" anything, essentially retail for $30, you are fooling yourself. The pictures look impressive to someone no familiar with the technology, with the beautiful black PCB, and those big finned heat sink...

If you are reading this, and you are new here, 95% of the time those that believe in "tweaks", which invariably are used somewhere in the electronics, don't have any depth of knowledge of how electronics actually work.   Does having a deeper under... 
Excellent Power Supply Solution
Oh the wonderful power of suggestion even self suggestion.I will guarantee you one thing with complete confidence, this power supply will be anything but “very low ripple and noise.” from a purely electrical standpoint. It is meant for lighting....
