Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
jasonbourne71 When your components-sans fuses catch fire and burn down your house you will be crying! The Swiss Digital Fuse Box seems to be pretty reliable, based on the users who post here. It’s basically a circuit breaker, the way I underst... 
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
lynn_olson Unfortunately, opamps are limited in not being able to dissipate much heat due to the small package size. That's why so many good balanced components use discrete circuits for the operational amplifiers.  
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
jaymark I wish my auditory neurons were cardboard like Jason's. Would have saved me a lot of money. Probably Jason and you hear very similarly on a physiological level, but he enjoys not hearing a difference. That may be due solely to confirma... 
Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway
ditusa JBL explains why see here page three B460 Bass System and page four BX63 Frequency dividing Network. That is a very different scenario because the speakers were designed to work together as a system. That’s not the same as kludging ... 
Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers?
I prefer having four feet on my gear that isn't rack mounted. But consider that it's the three-legged stool that never wobbles. It's why photographers use tripods.

Best and Worst customer service?
oddiofyl I let them know there were only 5 days left on the warranty, could I please send it in. Silence, they totally ignored my request for warranty service. That was 6/22. There’s no excuse for that. They owe you service as long as you can ...

Why would you want to limit bass to a full range speaker system?  
Do your ears deceive you?
spenav ... Read the article ... Why? It’s from 1996, so there can’t be anything "new" in it and it's w-a-y too long. If you’re interested in reading more about cables, feel free to explore the links I already shared. There are thousands of pos... 
Do your ears deceive you?
kennymacc Here we go again. And again and again, and round and round.   WHY CABLES MATTER! Why Do Cables Matter? Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here’s PROOF! Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Ethernet Cables, do ... 
Do your ears deceive you?
carlsbad2 Confirmation bias is rampant. Indeed. For example, if you’re convinced cables "don’t make a difference," that’s likely what you’ll hear if you demo them. It won’t matter whether the test is blind, or not.  
Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm
dogberry It seems that owners of the Viv Labs RF arm rave about it, whilst non-owners say it is impossible for it to be even acceptable. Someone’s got to be right. Each design has its drawbacks, so its possible that each design can be succ... 
Shorting plugs
nonoise You can get RCA shorting plugs here. And you can get XLR shorting plugs here. No need to pay sky high prices for Cardas Actually the Cardas plugs are non-shorting: " ... Unlike traditional shorting plugs, these caps do not short the ... 
Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping?
pinwa ... Most contemporary vinyl sounds very similar to streaming the same version/release ... That has been my experience as well. Why on earth would you try to get your vinyl and digital systems to sound the same? I don't think it's a g...
