| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I took possession yesterday of a pair of Audio Magic Masterpiece M2’s to grace the Audion Mk3 monoblocs. These fuses have been just the ticket for the last bit of settling down of the Cornwall 4’s. They get a soft grip on the treble and high mids ... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles Six Moons is eccentric - not AI. I would have to agree though that writing is deteriorating in general across the internet and in print media as well, and for obvious reasons - literature is not taught with much inspiration or confidence in the s... | |
| Be Careful With UPS! Heavily dependent on the quality of driver. Been through a few lately with very mixed results. Finally have a good one - for how long I do not know. | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 The current chaos in China does put a bit of a pall on stereo equipment from that country I must admit. | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 Just read that Vinshine is no longer partnered with Denafrips. | |

| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection My Rel 812's work quite well with the Audion Mk3's using the high level connections. The Audions let me evaluate sub settings more accurately than did my tube amps. | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 When I had a Terminator 2 I installed the Mk3 board in it after awhile, and it was quite an improvement. Very easy board install. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Basie and Peterson Talking | |
| Mary Martin Died The epitome of a "mover and shaker." | |
| Don't do anything! I evaluate tweaks only late at night when the power grid has calmed down. During the day - especially in the summer - the power can be quite janky, and it's very audible. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? The Mechanical I wonder if AI could make such statements as above and be truly aware of what they implied. |
