| Fuses that matter. 05-07-12: TbgBryoncunningham, does it matter which is true? I think not.Does it matter? It matters if you're interested in the question of whether fuse direction has audible effects. It doesn't matter in the way that unemployment matters, or clima... | |
| Fuses that matter. FWIW, during my recent listening experiment, I A/B'd fuse direction in the amp (Pass XA30.5). I must have switched fuse direction 15 or 20 times.I SOMETIMES thought I MIGHT have heard a difference, but it was well within the category of -yourmindi... | |
| Fuses that matter. Hi Wolf - I tried them forwards, sdrawkcab, miɿɿoɿɘb, uʍop ǝpısdn, and ndsıpǝ poʍu ɐup qɐɔʞʍɐɹps.Hi Al - I agree it would be interesting to test a number of different cheap fuses. If my listening tests are valid, then there is an audible differenc... | |
| Fuses that matter. -----------THE RESULTS ARE IN--------Today I had an opportunity to A/B the Hifi Tuning fuses with the stock fuses. As I was alone, I was not able to A/B/X. For those of you who believe that that invalidates my observations, you can stop reading. F... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Hi Alan. Here's an except from the article that Al linked...In general, apertures should be smaller than L = l/50 [where L=length of slot (in meters) and L ³=w and L >> t and l = wavelength in meters]. To achieve acceptable attenuation value... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Sorry, my last post got all scrambled. I was trying to link to a website that sells copper mesh like this. | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Using risers for the lid is a good idea. I was thinking about using some copper mesh. It would provide ventilation as well as some RFI protection. There are lots of different mesh options in terms of perforations per inch. Anyone know how small th... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? And the winner is... Elizabeth!Just talked with Kent at Pass Labs. Nice guy. Kent said that, by removing the lid, the temperature inside the chassis falls (that much is obvious). When the internal temperature sensors detect falling temperature, th... | |
| Fuses that matter. Some kind of unfriendly ghost doesn't want me to A/B anything. When I decided to A/B grounding pigtails in a friend's system a couple weeks ago, he suddenly blew a tweeter. The replacement tweeter still hasn't showed up.When I decided to A/B my Hi... | |
| Fuses that matter. A characteristically thoughtful and well informed answer. Thanks, Al. You have raised the level of my skepticism about what I MIGHT have heard when I installed the fuses.I think I will A/B the ordinary and the fancy fuse and see if I can reproduce... | |
| Fuses that matter. 04-29-12: KijankiIf these fuses make "major difference in sound" as Tbg stated then why manufacturer's don't install them in gear they sell...Hi Kijanki - That's a fair question. I suspect that if fuses did indeed make a major difference, and a ma... | |
| Fuses that matter. Here are the putative explanations I've been able to find for why a fancy fuse might improve sound quality...1. Lower DC resistance2. Less voltage drop3. Lower microphonics4. More conductive materials5. Better electrical contact between fuse caps ... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie I love Delta blues and Country blues more generally. I tend to like albums with one man, one instrument, and no amplification. My favorite blues album is probably John Lee Hooker's Country Blues.Other albums I really like...John Lee Hooker, Burnin... | |
