| What should I upgrade first amp or preamp? I agree with Zd. Another option would be to send your Oppo to ModWright. I think you will be very pleased with what comes back. | |
| Fuses that matter. Hifitime, You make some valid points, but I think we need to give people like Jerry at Audio Magic credit for not being complete idiots. I don't know if he has had his fuses retested by UL or not. But I do think when he was designing his fuses he ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Rodman, I agree that something must have gone wrong. The residual gas in the fuse could have pressurized sufficiently to crack an existing flaw in the glass I suppose. | |
| Fuses that matter. Roxy, I wouldn't touch your comment with a ten inch pole.Rodman, I have a few of these fuses. They are not completely filled with the polymer. Maybe about 75-80%. I don't know what the coefficient of thermal expansion is for this particular polyme... | |
| Audio Magic Fuse Leak Problem??? ZD, I think the idea is to stabilize the conductor against mechanical vibration. | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products Emoonie, Thanks. That is helpful. If the mediums have 4 x the field strength of the minis, I'm guessing that means 2 x the range. Assuming a mini probably has at least 18 inches of range, I should be able to place a medium on top of each monoblock... | |
| When is it to hot to cut the grass? First of all, don't come here for gardening and/or medical advice. That said, if you are worried about your grass, I would leave it long until it cools down. What people do in AZ is not relevant, since if they have grass, its not the cool season b... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products Ozzy, good to hear things are settling in a bit. Keep us posted.Emoonie, how much info did you get from Jerry on the PEA's? I take it the three sizes vary with respect to the size of the field. If that is correct, do you know how large of a field ... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products Hi5harry, Good info above. This idea also addresses something I have been wondering about. If you wire the pulse gen to the iec from the inside, you would have to make sure it is not defeated by the power switch, otherwise, its only going to be ac... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products Ozzy, Possibly. Difficult to predict.When you say it is too sharp, can you provide more details? What the pulse gen and all products resulting in better shielding against RFI gets me is first and foremost a clearing of a nasty nasal quality to the... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products Ozzy, My understanding of the speaker clarifiers is similar to yours above. I think they do reduce emi rfi coming in with the cables, plus help out with the cross-overs when placed at the binding posts.On the pulse dampeners, I know that when I un... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Audiolabyrinth, the Airsines are though to beat at the price. I only have one component in my system that prefers another power cord over the AirSines. VH Audio can offer a generous trial period for a reason. I'm guessing Chris doesn't get many re... | |
| Power cord suggestions? Audiolabyrinth, Chris a really good guy to deal with and he knows his stuff. He caries stuff he has tried and finds to be good bang for the buck items. His approach is to shun marketing expenses, thereby keeping his prices very low. He relies on h... | |
| Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker Johnsonwu and ZD542. A reality check is always a good thing. An analysis of one's system to try to identify the weakest link is always a good approach. In general, I agree with what you said. IC's, power cords, and speaker cables were the last par... | |
| Power cord suggestions? Jakecanada, I use VH Audio AirSines with my Cary mono blocks. The power cords turned those amps into much better components. I was shocked at the difference. A used AirSine might be close to your price range. It might well be worth the wait for on... |
