| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? Fuse believers should please repeat after me, while slowly and periodically banging your head against a corner wall:God grant me the serenity to accept that a fuse does not ever affect the audio performance of an amplifier, the courage to admit to... | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... You answered your own question.An ideal wire should have 0 resistance, 0 capacitance and 0 inductance.But that does not exist.So, try and find one with the lowest capacitance. All things being equal, the capacitance of the wire is probably the mo... | |
| The guru on fuses: Fuses do NOT affect audio performance. They are a safety device.When will the audiophools stop fooling themselves and realize the exaggerated placebo effect ? Fuse is a very very small resistor on the supply line, whose value is almost no differen... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? Pass Labs INT250. It is integrated at 250 W/channel RMS and nothing else will come close. | |
| A system for my college-bound daughter Try Naim audio mu-so, but she will probably still need a turntable.But the sound will be sweet. Something she could use for years to come. | |
| Need speaker advice https://www.crutchfield.com/S-Ae3DxSM2h1M/p_109HDI38WN/JBL-HDI-3800-Satin-Walnut.htmlAlso, you may want to upgrade your amp to something like 200W/channel, something really good and affordable like:https://www.google.com/search?q=parasound+hint6&a... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I am. My cables cost a whooping $50 ant they are perfect. As long as shielded, every cable is perfect. | |

| Best Ethernet Setup for Streaming Audio 1) It does not matter. Switches and routers run SO MUCH FASTER than any digitized analog signal, even a logic analyzer will be hard pushed to tell the difference.2) You do not need any optical isolation. Wire will work perfectly fine, unless you... | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? Pass Labs INT250. Nothing else will even come close. Add a phono preamp and a DAC and you are set. | |
| Super new to record players You either have to add a vertical post to hold it up or change the hinges to torque hinges. I had an old Linn on which I used some of these and it worked perfectly and holds up a 5lb lid even at 30 degrees. You can get even stronger ones from Su... | |
| “Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon? Low noise.And the most significant factor in getting this is using specially manufactured low noise transistors at the VAS stage of the amplifier.Of secondary importance is to have very well shielded cables, maybe a ground lifter and no ground loops. | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? Nothing will ever come close to a Pass Labs amplifier, especially if it is of class A design, if you can live with the heat that it generates. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so If you can live without an integrated phono input and a used one, nothing will even come close to a Pass Labs INT250. |
