| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @thyname thanks for the shout out as the original "we don't need no stinking fuses" guy. I have tested the Swiss Digital Fuse Box and recommend it over any fuse. My impression was that it wasn't as good as the "large gauge piece of metal" (high ... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET No replies so far, maybe no owners here. I just discussed this amp last week with a friend looking to buy a 300b. My concern is that Dennis is using less expensive components to make an amp that sells for $4k with $1.5K ouput tubes. You can see... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Schiit owns this market/price range and the DAC will be a huge upgrade over the $1.25 chip in your laptop. You won't be sorry. | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? Just one more reason why I do my own work. Headed back to garage to finish 40K service on my audi. | |
| Taxation using PP G&S Depends on how much profit you make. If you buy gear for $50k and sell it for $60k, you'll owe taxes on $10k, perhaps minus some expenses. If you sell it for $40K, you won't be able to write off the $10K loss unless you claim stereo selling is... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @ghdprentice preach somewhere else. My comment was not negative. Your speculaton about my wealth is quite correct. I make $10 an hour. | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? You're still spending a sh*tload of money, much of which goes for the name and the reputation rather than the performance. You actually get an extra star on your audiophile card. Jerry | |
| Which Fuse Generally mains fuses are slow blo. Jerry | |
| Another Fedex problem... Got 2 fedex ground packages yesterday. Fast and easy no problems. | |
| Really Long XLR I would make my own cables from 16 awg Duelund DCA wire. The wire for a 40' set will cost you $400. A good set of XLR connectors is $100. Sheath material another $100. If you don't have silver solder, another $15. Jerry | |
| Holo Spring DAC Warranty -- transferable? Warranty is way overrated. I'd much rather get 10% off with no warranty. I'd take 5%. Jerry | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @tksteingraber realize that the fuse replacement is just a short piece of conductor adjacent to the power cable. I don't think you'll ever hear a significant effect fro different coppers on such a short piece of conductor, just so it is heavy (no... | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration the thought that there is perfect power on the poles is not just wrong, it's dead wrong. most of the noise on the system comes from large industrial and combined residential loads and affects the entire system. BTW, I've worked 40+ years for an ... | |

| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @tksteingraber Slugs are solid copper jumpers that replace the fuses. No protection. --Jerry |
