| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? My golden, metered Phase Linear 400 was much more fun to watch than my Black, three LED (ON, Clip left, Clip Right) Audire amps, but for fun, I can turn the power way up on system 2, and watch the old B&W's light up the LED's as it diminishes... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? andysf You might check to see if you should I believe you need to dismantle your system and return most of the innards to China. Still, all of my electronic were made in North America, and since the 1970's I have only used British (also English ... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. m669326 The only truly stupid questions are those that never get asked, thereby perpetuating totally curable ignorance. | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys Like a Harley? I hope not. Harley's are all image. I was in the power sports business, including owning a successful race team, for over two decades. The last ten years were with Harley Davidson dealers, as a salesman, sales manager, finance ... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? lemonhaze Is that as good as purple haze? Seriously, why do people here argue about things they "KNOW" to be true? How anal is that? I personally would never bypass fuses. It is asking for trouble. Otherwise, your answer is great. I will ret... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal I just wish any streaming service with really good audio had a jazz channel as good as XM/Sirius. I will sacrifice quality of sound for quality of programming. Life could be worse. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? What gave me the rubbery amp filler idea was my 1969 500 Kawasaki triple, the first bike with an electronic ignition. That beast really vibrated, so it was filled with tar looking goo. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? lalitk It is called break-in. You have to listen until you block out the bad stuff and hear the good stuff. This includes all break-in, as far as I am concerned. Our ears and brain adjust. I have two very good systems. It used to take me a ... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? nonoise I was afraid someone would take this in the wrong way. Now we know. My only point it that certain things point toward a master status as far as image and beliefs. I could have used a rose tattoo, but I did not know what that signified.... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? ritamacaw Maybe we should tout a gooey, flexible liquid to pour into the amps to damp them. We can give a lifetime warranty that we can remove it, if needed, and then file bankruptcy. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? audio2system Thanks to all for replies. The only reason I am considering fuses, is that Paul from PS Audio, suddenly came out with his take, and supposed surprise, that they sounded better. Of course, that might just be part of his sales pitch,... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? theaudiotweak2 Good Point! BUT! How would a fuse help curb vibrations? I did notice that my newer amp of the same model (17 years difference) did use heavier metal all all around. A couple of resistors per channel were changed, too, but Juliu... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? mrdecible I am curious? Since my electronics are in a different room from my speakers and subs, wouldn't the vibration argument be irrelevant for me? | |
| FUSES, Finally!? audioman58 Did I understand that it takes you many, many hours to hear the difference? I am certainly glad I was a psychologist. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? cal91 Please see above post. I am done, unless challenged, and probably then, too!Challenges should be about overbuilt amps with regulated power supplies; otherwise, they are not relevate to my argument and experience. |
