| Fuses fuses fuses While stuck in traffic on the LIE this morning, I was wondering if there is any material or compound you could use to insure complete contact between a fuse and fuse holder? I guess you could solder it in, but reversing it would be a hassle.B | |
| Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany I'd be concerned with slight variations in power coming from a generator.I know computers and UPS battery backups are very sensitive to this variation.B | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? @ghosthouse ,Thanks for posting how long it takes. I was going to upgrade, but there was a backlog. It's nice to know that when they accept the order, it goes very quickly.My only bugaboo with Schiit is that they will not comment on what makes the... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question If I recall correctly, Mr. V thinks vertical biamping less satisfactory than horizontal. That is, using one amp (monoblock) per channel, as opposed to splitting the signal.B | |
| Fuses fuses fuses @geoffkait I don’t want to put words in Ralph’s mouth, either, but I’m pretty sure he’s not really on board the whole fuse directionality train. His argument is (and I suppose he could possibly be accused of fence sitting on fuse directionality) t... | |
| Magnepan upgrade @ OP,Those 3.7's are awful big, but I bet they will sound amazing. I think Zavato's comment worthwhile- maybe adding a sub(s) would give you much of what the 3.7's can do. If I recall, more than half of the planar speaker is needed for bass reprod... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Oh, your are going to light fires, especially with that avatar ;)Re: directional fuses, I recall Ralph at Atma-Sphere mentioning something, but I forgot the details. Though I think he said there was something to it. (If I am wrong Ralph, sorry).B | |

Much of what you posted is in sync with my beliefs.As far as making a recommendation, so much is system dependent, that it is hard to make a blanket r... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question Yup, that is a long run. A nice set of AQ Rocket 88's would be your best bet in my humble opinion. A used pair can be found for not that much money and often turn up on Ebay or Audiogon.Audioconnection helped me reterminate a set of Rockefellers i... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Ahh, I remember the DQ-10's well. I always wanted to try a pair. Yes, I know you have the DQ-20's. but it brought back nice memories.B | |
| Thiel speaker model range @unsound That was a very informative post.B | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Yup, cables can make difference.I forgot what you are using for your speakers and don't want to hunt through this long thread.Also, what lengths are you looking for? 25' will definitely put a damper on sound quality-especially if you are using ine... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener @rvpiano, congrats on finding a compatible sub. When they are properly integrated, they really make all the difference- And, no other shoe will drop.Bob | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Why don't you have them shortened and reterminated?B | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question For me, removing the sock would not be high on my agenda.B |
