Chris, Ĺet us know your listening impressions when you have the time. Be sure to reverse the fuse direction and compare. Charles,  
Parasound JC2 compatibility with Quicksilver v4's
An "A" rating from Stereophile doesn't necessarily mean good sound The dealer could have been expressing his sincere opinion which another listener may or may not agree with. Hopefully Rob can take his preamp to the dealer and hear for himself.Bot... 
Parasound JC2 compatibility with Quicksilver v4's
Rob,I don't know what speakers you're using but I would make the effort to hear them with the Quicksilver V4. If you're really happy with this match I'd be cautious  about reversing to tube preamplifier and SS amplifier. If you find the V4 the sou...

You are welcome Al. It would have been interesting to get your listening impressions. Charles,  
Building a system from scratch (other than speakers)
Celtic66,I'm a devoted owner who immensely enjoys a SET 300b amplifier. The Allnic you cite has been praised universally.  However I believe that his speakers would be better matched with a good quality push pull tube integrated /power amplifier  ...

Almarg,I have several Red fuses that are now my spares.  They are 3 amp slo blo. If you can use this value fuse  I'll be happy to loan them to you. Consider it a small  token of respect for all of your excellent technical contributions to us here ...

Hi Frank,that's a nice gesture and demonstrates the friendly  community environment I'd mentioned in an earlier post,. That's what I did with my friend  Jeff,  a borrowed  SR Red and then a borrowed Black fuse. He listened and that was all it took...

Knghifi,I agree with that, I was just responding to Mapnan's specific inquiry.  But yes,for the  low cost of entry, just buy the fuse and listen.😊Charles,  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Mapman,I'm inclined to suggest source or the preamp based on my listening.  Knghifi on the other hand found his power  amplifiers the most receptive.  So as is often the case in audio ,it just depends.

I look at audiogon as a community of like minded people sharing a comment passion. As a result a level of trust and respect is developed and information and experiences are shared. For example it was Grannyring who 4 years ago  enthusiastically re...

Fran6,Yeah,Panthers vs the Broncos, has the  potential to be a compelling game  with two top level defensive units. We've soon see. Electroslaker, Very nice detailed post. You take a back seat to no one. That's far more detail than I have ever pro...

Lak,I'm inclined to believe that a better fuse would  make a noticeable improvement. Paul  McGowan of PS Audio encourages owners of his transport to upgrade the fuse. I say go for it. ☺Charles,  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Frank,I'll give your friend Robert the same credit as I gave Jeff, at lease they listened and judged by what they heard. If you listen and aren't impressed, that's fine, you simply call it as you hear it, no problem. To conclude that a fuse cannot...

Tonight's experience with Jeff's system again drove home this point, these fuses are absolutely directional. When Jeff reverse fuse direction the improvement was immediate and undeniable. Charles,
