| Shunyata CX Python Speaker Cables From what I can deduce about Shunyata, the Triton and the Talos both have the new compound (ZrCa-2000...or 2001! A Space Odyssey! Anyone care to join me on a trip to .....Talos?!) that Shunyata used to put in the power cables. I'm not surprised th... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Sure, Vhiner.My intent was to allow someone with no money spent the opportunity to post his own impressions, free of the need to prove he spent his money "wisely." This way, the other poster can say it sounded like crap if he likes. It wouldn't de... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? You know, Lacee, I'm wondering if part of the reason the Antique Sound Lab Hurricanes were so prone to blow resistors could be a function of the original fuses, which were, of course, inexpensive. I don't know, just speculating.Back to the HiFi Su... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? I have not used a circuit breaker (I'd probably electrocute myself), but I CAN suggest HiFi Tuning fuses (I got my first ones 3 days ago, and MAN, did the purify the sound ("purify" in this sense means ridding the sound of grit and significant amo... | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... I'll second your usage of the HiFi Tuning fuses, Mitch2. Even though this thread is old, I just saw something on fuses one night about 5 days ago on Stereophile's equipment review page under the powerline section. Michael Fremer tried them and fou... | |
| Upgrading Fuses No more calls! We have a WINNER!!!! And I'll just ask the guy who I sent them to to post on this thread after he's had the fuse in about 24 hours. It should show some significant improvements by then unless the fuse (HiFi Tuning is the manufacture... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Goodness Gracious, I done got me a case of the Vapors!!It's only about 20 minutes since my last post, but I had to come out of the room, 'cuz those Hurricanes done heated it up something fierce and I just cain't turn 'em off. It done sounded too g... | |
| Upgrading Fuses I bought the HiFi Tuning Fuse - the $37.95 ones (basic ones, I assume). I just got them two days ago. After only 30 hours, I am quite astounded at the improvements they afford my ASL Hurricanes and hence, the entire system.. I'd spoken to Tosh Gok... | |
| Shunyata CX Python Speaker Cables Vhiner:I'd say your system is a few light years ahead of mine! A CJ CT5?!? Anaconda CXes?!? AND A TRITON?? You're killin' me with your gracious statement.I wouldn't even put the Hales in the same category as Thiel 3.7s, except that they're both ha... | |
| Nordost Vishnu or Shunyata Copperhead Power Cord I hadn't seen Ken's system when I wrote this. I like his components and share a few of them: the Quantum units and, as previously mentioned have had the Vishnu power cord. My system is a First Sound Deluxe MK 1 1/2 (I haven't fully upgraded to a M... | |
| Nordost Vishnu or Shunyata Copperhead Power Cord P.S. Brahma is ALSO a great cord. I'm a Shunyata fan, but the Brahma is an excellent cord as well. My post must have posted immediately after you posted, because your comment about trying out the Brahma wasn't there when I started writing this (sh... | |
| Nordost Vishnu or Shunyata Copperhead Power Cord To respond as directly as I can to the question, both of the cables are good. I've never owned the lower-tiered generation of Shunyata, but I've had most of them, from the Black Mamba (first generation) to King Cobra (first generation) and usually... | |
| Shunyata Python CX vs Kubala Emotion Power Cords? Hi Steve:I think you wrote me and asked me about the Pythons, since I recommended them. What's the rest of your system now? | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. mjelco, usually cones fit with the wide part under the component and the spikes downward. The Sort Kones, however, are not cones, so they don't follow that rule. The Goldmund cones, which I have, are also a pyramid-type design, but I don't think N... | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. Mceljo, I agree completely with you about the Sort Kones. I have the aluminum steel, aluminum ceramic and the Bronze (the titanium are stupidly expensive).Do you have yours pointed with the narrower end on the component? I had originally placed th... |
