| Chord Hugo TT2 adaptability Europe-to-USA power supply ? Good opportunity to upgrade to a nice power supply. I've used the Farad with Chord. Farad does a lot of work to power Chord products including buiding a special interface to replace the internal power supply for DAVE. I have the Farad Dave powe... | |
| SHIPPING speakers? Sell inexpensive speakers locally. Reading the other reply, seems they are only 60 lbs and of reasonable size. I would just pack them up and ship them with UPS or Fedex. I guess you don't have the original boxes. You can take them to a UPS... | |
| Be aware of a scam! The classic escrow scam is where a very normal sounding buyer suggest use of an escrow company and offers to pay for it themselves. they send you a link to a an escrow company. Usually it is a real escrow company. The problem is the link they s... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @deep_333 Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. Not being critical. Just giving you a hard time. I like your strong opinion on this. Jerry | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @deadhead1000 The Wilsons I mentioned earlier are listed on Audiogon. I contacted the owner and he would be glad to have you over to listen. I have heard this system and it is spectacular. Steve is also a great guy. https://www.audiogon.com/li... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @lalitk I don't think anyone is now working on a version that fits into the fuse holder. I was the most interested in that and I've moved on. Like I pointed out, every IEC fuse holder is different so very hard to make one that works on every amp. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @thecarpathian I don't think so. but I'll give it more thought. The breakers in your panel are a combination of thermal and magnetic. The thermal component doesn't cause much problem because it is rated much higher so it doesn't act as a curren... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? Guy asks about changing the power supply on a switch that retails for $15.99 (including the power supply) and in less than a page we are recommending components that cost thousands of dollars. Audio at its best. | |

| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @viridian One of my pairs of floorstanders (which I use for my rear surrounds) I bought from a guy who was getting divorced and moving up to even bigger speakers. | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers I fired my wife 15 years ago and had a great time raising my kids by myself. I have 4 pairs of floorstanding speakers in my living room. I'm in So Cal too. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @devinplombier I worked to develop a way to adapt the SDFB without an extra power cord and it isn't hard to do for a specific amp. but every amp uses a different IEC receptacle on the back and every receptacle has a slightly different fuse config... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @tksteingraber I have taken mine apart many times. I know the design inside and out. | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? @peterf6 My entire system wouldn’t be an option in many living rooms....I currently have 4 sets of floorstanding speakers in my living room. My amp is 7 ft wide and 300 lbs. | |
| Someone please explain to me... The circuit breaker in your panel is designed to protect the wire in your wall, not the components plugged into it. If your wire is sized for 20 amps, your breaker will be 20 amps. The breaker will trip before the wire heats up from overcurrent an... |
