| Atmasphere amps trustable? Any amp that eats cats can't be all bad. Seriously, Atmasphere amps are very well regarded. Not hard to find lots of OTL fans around here. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles,Sorry to hear about the persistent failure of Elrogs in your Franks. Mine are still doing OK, but I am probably only getting 2-3 listening sessions in a typical month. If the heat doesn't break soon, the listening may increase as the hik... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, There is only so much that can be said about a fuse. We can talk about music until the end of time and never run out of things to say. Plus, for the vast majority of us, fuses, cables, tubes, etc. are a means to the end--music. Don't ... | |
| Tube rolling experts!!! I strongly recommend you try a Canadian Westinghouse VU-71 rectifier. It is a 5U4 rectifier. This is my favorite of all the 5U4, 5U4GB, GZ34, and 5R4GYS tubes I have tried in my ModWright power supplies. There is one on sale for $149 on e-bay ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... knghifi, my PS 9.0 has a 1.6 A slo in it. One of us better check with Dan. I don't know which fuse is correct. I was about to refuse the 9.0 and would love to use a 3.15 in there if that is OK. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Knghifi, looking down on the HAPZ1 with the front closest to me, the fuses were installed with the S to the left and the R to the right. Again, I found the directionality to be rather obvious. The fuse in the front is labeled HDD live. The one ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've got about 50 hours on the two SR blacks I installed in my ModWright Sony HAPZ1 now. Last night, I removed them and put the stock fuse back in. The effect was exactly the same as A/B'ing stock vs SR black in my Coincident CSL. The sound wen... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, I am thinking that getting a pair of 3 A slo-blo is up next. Both the Franks and my HAPZ1 take 2 3A slo's, so it is almost a slam dunk that one of those will benefit substantially. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm guessing I've got 80-100 of burn in on the Black that is in my Coincident CSL. Tonight I did an A/B with the stock fuse. Replacing the Black with the stock fuse made an immediately obvious difference. Everything just went flat. Very 2 dime... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, I reversed the direction last week and the difference was quite obvious. I had the correct direction from the beginning. I am eager to do the A/B tonight, and based on the results, will make a decision on buying additional fuses. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, I may be getting there. Things are sounding pretty fine tonight. I may do some a/b with the stock fuse tomorrow night. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audiolabyrinth, I had the same thought on wanting a good comparison between the AM beeswax and Black fuses, but given the variability in responses to the blacks, and the apparent sensitivity differences between different pieces of equipment, it is... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, I will be out of town for a few days and hiking this weekend. Its likely to be sometime next week when I hit 60-100 hours. I do hope I will see additional improvement with more hours, but right out of the box I would have called this a ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Update on my experience. The black has about 40 hours of burn in time in my Coincident Line stage. A few minutes ago, I reversed the direction of the fuse. Degradation of sound quality was immediately obvious, so I had the optimal direction to ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mid40s, which MW Oppo do you have? The 105 is usually powered by the 9.9 power supply, not the 9.0. Those two power supplies are very different animals. At any rate, I have found the 9.0 to be very sensitive to power cords, so I would have thou... |
