| Ceramic fuses Hello Ricey:I am familiar with the gold and rhodium plated fuses you mentioned which are made by Littlefuse. The gold plated ones sound better than the rhodium plated ones. Unfortunately, they don't sound much better than standard glass fuses, jus... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ I agree with jim204. Give it a week of active use so it can settle down in the system. I once purchased a conditioner that sounded quite terrible in my system for the first three days, and on the fourth day, it suddenly changed and started soundin... | |

| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp Hello Listening99:The 225 amp drives 8 ohm and "not-so-difficult" 4ohm loads pretty well, but it would not be considered a high current amp by any means.

| Graphene for audio Wrapping aluminum foil around the last few inches of your AC cords and connectors does the opposite....makes things forward and harsh. | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp If you like the sound of the STA 200 but feel it is struggling a bit with your speakers, then look for a used Job 225. It is almost twice the power, with a bit bigger power supply, and sounds better too. They can be found for around $900 on the us... | |

I tried a Pass J2 with them, and was surprised that the J2 did not do anything special with them. I know the J2 and other Pass amps such a... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? I've also owned an Amplitrex AT1000 tester for around 10 years now, and have found it to be completely reliable, accurate and easy to use. Yes, it is expensive, but well worth the money if you are a serious tube audio enthusiast. As mentioned abov... | |

| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain It all depends on the circuit they are in. Try rolling tubes in each and let your ears decide. | |
| need help regarding new Ayon spirit iii I used the exact same tubes in both the Spirit II and III, but found the sound of the Spirit II to be a bit more lively, with a little more detail and transient attack. I was comparing both amps when using the triode mode.The pentode mode does hav... | |
| need help regarding new Ayon spirit iii I have owned both an Ayon Spirit II and Spirit III amp for over 10 years now. I bought the new Spirit III, thinking it would be a sonic upgrade from the Spirit II. After comparing both, I found that I actually liked the sound of the Spirit II bett... | |
| Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus... As some have suggested, could you post a picture of one of your actual resonators? Especially of the straw inserted, and how far into the plastic you have it inserted? You posted that you have "only the extremity of the straw at the top", and I am... | |
