| Are you a Verificationist about audio? 05-17-12: Mrtennisthe problem with the distinction raised in the thread is that corroboration or verification is not proof.thus the verification of a perception does not mean that that which is verified is true.MrT - We've had this conversation ap... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? 500 pound isolation transformers? Awesome!! | |
| Why does better power = better sound? I agree with you, Lacee. I'm a big believer in improving the quality of AC power. IME, it can have a wide range of positive effects on sound quality, including lower noise, larger dynamic range, greater resolution, more realistic instrument timbre... | |
| Fuses that matter. Liquid fuses. Cause that's what I want next to my electricity -- liquid. Wait a second. Just looked them up. Audio Magic's liquid fuses also get their proprietary "NANO Stream Treatment." Impressive.But not as impressive as my proprietary "PICO St... | |
| Fuses that matter. Thanks Kijanki, Al, and Mapman. I appreciate your support throughout this largely absurd endeavor.05-18-12: AlmargOne piece of data that I think might be worthwhile appending to your report would be what your line voltage is, for the conditions un... | |
| Fuses that matter. THE RESULTS ARE IN AGAIN I completed the A/Bing of the various fuses in my possession.-------THE METHOD---------For the preamp (an extensively modded Meridian G68), the contenders were: stock fuse vs. Hifi Tuning Silverstar vs. Isoclean--For the... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Update...I built a new lid for my amp out of aluminum and copper mesh. You can see a picture of the lid here. You can see it installed here.The copper mesh is electrically continuous both with the lid and the chassis of the amp, which improves the... | |
| Fuses that matter. I should clarify that I meant it is now probably many years BEFORE it will taste its best.I knew what you meant, Al. Louis XV is a joke, IMO. I've eaten at an unconscionable number of the putatively superlative restaurants in the U.S. and Europe a... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-16-12: KijankiBryon, Be sure that you don't have any DC on power line. Electrons in the fuse wire don't move with AC (vibrate in place) but with DC they will very slowly move (called "drift velocity") from your expensive fuse into home wiring. ... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-16-12: AlmargJust speculating, of course, but given that Class D amplifiers can be expected to have a significant amount of RF noise running around inside them as a result of the high speed switching processes that are going on, perhaps the mat... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Thanks for sharing your story, Lacee. I have a similar kind of story with my adventures with AC power over the years, starting with a simple power conditioner and then moving on to fancy power cables and then to even fancier power conditioners and... | |
| Fuses that matter. To add some fuel to the fire...I found at least one amp designed by a well regarded manufacturer that includes fancy fuses: Spectron's Musician III Mk2. Spectron's Senior Engineer, Simon Thacher, weighed in on the value of fancy fuses a while back... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-16-12: MapmanAlso just to be sure, you have no financial interest in expensive audiophile fuses/tweaks right?Me? No. But my wife does. Her financial interest is that I stop buying them.05-16-12: KijankiBryon, be sure to turn OFF and UNPLUG! Do ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Kijanki and Mapman - For my little experiment, I will take care to control as many potentially confounding variables as possible. For example, I will......conduct the experiment late at night....turn everything electronic outside the system off...... | |
| Fuses that matter. All good questions, Mapman. I won't pretend to know the answers. I'm just trying to do my part to keep the streets safe! ;-)bc |
