| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I am fascinated by the directionality arguments concerning fuses. Did proponents of this idea forget that our electronics are powered by alternating current? That means it goes back and forth, not just forward. Besides, the transformer has no dir... | |
| AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se. Really? You trust ARC enough to spend thousands of dollars, but think you can improve the power cord. What kind of designer would limit his creation to save a truly insignificant amount of money with a crappy power cord? | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Is this decision from Julihs Siksnius' Audire playbook? When he retired, he shut down the factory and did repairs until his memory faded. | |

| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used You trust designers to choose the correct parts and correct designs, but question their choices of power cords. That is an example of absolute lubacy. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses A sepatate fuse forum is a great idea, ecsecially for those of us who believe that electricity is directional. (AC goes back and forth atv60 cps; dc, at thecfrequencies of the signal.). Maybe we could combine it with the forum on the benefits of f... | |
| Isolation stands: snakeoil? The best turntable islolaters are the doors between the speaker room and the electronics room. My ex-laundry room has all but the speakers. Of course, guests are not as impressed with the array of electronics, but that was never my goal. Another ... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics The speakers that are absolutely the least affected by room acoystics are Bose 901's, if you can stand the sound at all. I can't. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Although my preference us for pinpoint accuracy and separation of instruments in space, I have a switchable choice: Using pairs of identical amps and preamps to drive my physically time aligned mains and subs, my double pole double throw sub swit... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? B&K TS108 tuner. I did not believe that it would sound better than my Kenwood KT917, but since fmtunerinfo.com claimed it did, I had to find out. It does, but not by much, and only on my B&W 803's, and then only when the subs are not on. | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? Equipment from the best dealers does not require a break in time; however, dealers who do not accept returns, or those who go all out to avoid them, say that 3 months is necessary. This coincides with how long a credit card charge can be disputed. | |
| Directionality of wire I guess some of you do not realize that interconnects do not flow a DC current in only one direction. Analogue audio signals are alternating current. The electricity moves back and forth, like the sound waves from your speakers. Directional fuse? ... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? If anyone has really good, neutral sounding components and likes Tidal, etc. please tell me what you use to receice their signal. I find it to be worse than a bent and worn Shure M91ED cartridge. Seriously, I dug an old one up (to play with my uni... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? I tried Tidal. It sounds like a 30 year old Denon CD player. I enjoyed that CD player. It was my first, but it is not good enough for my system or ears. | |
| Why do turntables sound different? Placing the turntable ANDelectronics in an adjoining room us the best. The only long wires needed are for the speakers. Of coyrse, tgen yih lose the awe factor of showing off your stuff, but for me it is about the music, not the show. |
