| Hi-Fi Tuning gold fuse on Parasound If you have two fuses you might try reversing them one at a time if you haven't tried that already. | |
| Hi-Fi Tuning gold fuse on Parasound The sonic characteristic of a fuse inserted in the wrong direction is overly bright or harsh, relatively speaking. If the sound seems overly bright then perhaps the fuse(s) should be reversed. | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Srwooten, yes, I've cryo'd LPs; I've also frozen them in the freezer, which works surprisingly well. If you don't mind my asking, how much is it these days to cryo an LP? | |
| Cryo'ed LP's The reason cryogenics works for musical instruments, rifle barrels, tonearms, golf clubs, CDs etc. is that physical characteristics of the materials are improved by the cryogenic cold tempering process. Thus, metals and plastics are stiffer, harde... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's A possible explanation for why cryoing improves LP performance is the same reason it improves the performance of golf balls, rifle barrels, automotive engine cam shafts, trumpets, not to mention tonearms, turntable platters, CDs, interconnects, st... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Oooops, almost forgot to mention for cryo stuff, best to wait a week or so after getting items back from lab since materials can take some time to recover from the cryo experience and might sound a little "funny" if listened to right away. It all ... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Don't be alarmed that the record is warped when you pull it out of the freezer. Allow it to warm slowly to room temp. YRMV. | |
| Strangest Tweak? Much has happened since this thread started in 2003. The Totem Beaks frankly don't seem so strange seven years later. | |
| Rogers LS3/5a question I had two pairs of Rogers at various times. They are subjectively very flat and terrific for solo voice, guitar, violin, small emsembles, but due to sensitivity issue will not play extremely loud and are comparatively speaking undynamic. So for la... | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? Tgb, with 100s of customers reporting, results with pebbles vary, with best results circa 50-200%. For those bringing down the curve, most likely operator error. | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? The subject matters to the "skeptics" only to the extent that it's another opportunity to suggest that blind tests would *prove* the damned thing doesn't work. "Skeptics" automatically assume the damned thing doesn't work. How scientific is that? | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? "But people who say they hear a difference never confirm with a blind test. It's so easy to pull the fuse, toss it up in the air so you don't know which way it's facing, install and listen. Nobody seems to do this, and based on what we know about ... | |
| "Dead Can Dance", what is your impression? Pretty sure Lisa Gerard also has two songs in the movie Heat. Tip: always get DCD on the 4A label, not Warner Bros. | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. Tvad, how do you come up with this stuff? That's hilarious! | |
| Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ? There's no such thing as perfect alignment. All alignment tools are approximations only, and their accuracy varies as the cartridge sweeps across the record. Furthermore, the thickness of the vinyl influences the geometry somewhat and varies from ... |
