| speaker upgrade fever No speaker recommendations that I think you would like, but I think "bright, analytical and clinical presentation" comes from your electronics, not your speakers. get the speakers with the best and flattest mids and treble to bring your jazz ali... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? You've already gotten some good advice but I'd try lowering my crossover frequency. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @pproctor You are correct. the fuse is indeed the biggest resistor in the entire line. (there is some voltage drop over the long lines). so that is why we want to repace or eliminate it. The best option is to find something that provides pro... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @mitch2 I've trusted copper. I make my own slugs from high conductivity copper I buy from Mcmaster. It isn't very expensive. I haven't bothered with silver or graphene slugs. I know people trying slugs made of worse conductors like brass or ev... | |

| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier Hammond makes a very good transformer. I agree to skip the junk on Amazon. I'd go with 1000VA at least. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/hammond-manufacturing/298FT/1305947 | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! @helomech Do you have a beef with PS Audio or are you genuinely unknowledgeable about the technology, perhaps repeating totaly insccurate posts form someone else with a beef? Don't repeat fake news. Jerry | |
| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier Don't know your rack seup but the transformer would go behind it totally out of sight. A good transformer will not add any noise to the electrical signal. Jerry | |
| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier Very easy to use a trasnformer. Make sure you use an oversized transformer so it doesn't limit current on your amp. also buy a quality transformer to avoid hum. figure $500 to $800 but a lot cheaper than trading amps. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? That is certainly possible. eliminate the fuse holder is always a gain. the fuse holders have to be a metal that has spring so they are often a poor conductor. Jerry | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @mitch2 I have disassebled and inspected the SDFB. It is the equivalent of a magnetic breaker. It sounds like you understand the difference between a magnetic and a thermal breaker. a thermal breaker has a resistive heater that may be worse th... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I do a little custom work and ship with USPS. I, knock on wood, have never lost a package. I print barcoded labels and insure my package with an ample supply of tape. I occasionally have people who have had a bad experience insist on UPS, or ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? An accountant can calculate the net present value (cost) of replacing your fuse with a slug. Lets do an example: Your amp costs $10,000. the catastrophic failure rate on your amp is 1/100 years (I think it is really much lower than that, althou... | |
| New Amp Advice Your speakers are pretty sensitive compared to many out there at 92dB/watt. Unless you listen at very high levels, you don't need many watts. and most of the time, I bet youre listening to less than one watt. Once clear advantage of buying a ... | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! I've been extremely happy with Farad for my DAVE. Don't worry about international shipping. it was invisible. Good exchange rate now. Jerry |
