| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread @edisoncarter The slugs they gave me are still in the bag. Im afraid I chuckle at people who polish in a drill as I have a lathe and have polished 3" stainless steel shafts to mirror finish (lots of work even at 1500 rpm). but I don't find tha... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread I have tested the SDFB and while I didn’t find it quit as good as my preferred plan of running with no protection (jump the fuse), it sounded almost as good in my system. I have found that most don’t have an interest in running without protection... | |
| Magnepan owners. Fuses or what I don't own Maggies but I am a huge fan of eliminating fuses. this is an expensive hobby and unless you are getting by on a shoestring budget, you can afford to repair things if they break. (the fuse is there to keep equipment from failing, but ... | |
| Muted hi freq from Magnepan 1.7 Your silver plated copper should get your most of the way there. silver can tarnish so you might take it out and clean it, perhaps put some de-ox on it. Jerry | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? @yage you are arguing semantics. The amplification is analog. You are challenging how it is integrated. | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? @danager Don't take this personally since, as I said above, the manufacturers are encouraging this misconception. But physics and engineering don't support the existence of a digital amplifier. indeed you don't need to buy a DAC, since they h... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? There is a broad misunderstanding that is encouraged by the manufacturer that the Peachtree GaN1 is a "digital amp". There is no such thing. Inside the PT amp, there is a DAC. My guess is it is a common chip and if you open it up you'll find al... | |
| Muted hi freq from Magnepan 1.7 There is a common mod to jumper the fuses to the tweeters. Magnepan is the only manufacturer I've ever seen to put fuses in the signal path to a driver (I admit, there may be others I'm not aware of). IMHO, fuses have no business in the signal ... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Not everyone agrees. I'm glad not everyone agrees. Leaves more tubes for me. | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? You've been reading too much ASR. Cheap DACs are not outperforming high end DACs. | |
| Tube amp recommendations to drive Joseph Audio speakers You need a push pull amp for the higher power. Decware ZMA is a excellent amp that mimics an SET. 40 wpc. There are 2 currently available on the used market. 2 yr wait for new. Jerry | |
| Nordost Tyr2 vs Valhalla1 Powercord Cords don't have a sound. they are either adequate, or they degrade the sound. If both cords are adequate to provide all the amps' needs, then neither will degrade the sound. | |
| I Hate Moving 80 lbs is no problem for one fit guy. phone a friend. speakers are awkward so they require 2 fit people. Take the bubble wrap off of everything before carrying it. Jerry | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses Some of the comments here think you're asking about bypassing fuses. I understand that you've already made that decision and I'm sure you're experiencing better sound. Fuses have no business in the signal path. I believe you question is just:... | |
| Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song? @jetter We figured out that the audio advice given was just a paraphrase of my advice given earlier (which was just a guess on my part). not worried about credit at all but just want to explain how this bot seemed to have useful advice. |
