| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Reply to Mitch’s question, something to the effect, "where can I find the correlation of measurements to listening test?"From the conclusions portion of the HiFi Tuning data sheets,"The measurements done so far showed some measurable differences b... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra 5 Sometimes I feel like Francis Ford Coppola, sometimes I don’t. If your goal is reducing mechanical feedback you better feel like decoupling since coupling insures mechanical feedback. You can also employ damping or some sort of energy dissipation ... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses While it’s true the measured differences are small, the differences are consistent. The resistance is consistently lower for audiophile fuses than for stock fuses; the resistance is consistently lower according to which end of the wire came out of... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra 5 Wolfie might have a point (cough, cough) here since the Vibrapods act like springs. Like air springs. You know, to decouple the speakers and prevent mechanical feedback. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? Building a system around an amplifier or around speakers is so old school. The trend these days, and I'm just going by what I read here, is to build a system around fuses. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra 5 Some sunny day when children are playing and laughing and there’s no strife or steadily increasing crime rate somebody with excellent hearing and a really really great system will do a comprehensive review of all the various coupling and decouplin... | |
| Scam dealer on Ebay? I already explained it. It's not a scam or any such thing. It is a very reasonable strategy for selling on eBay when listing a Buy it Now item. Case closed. | |

| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Expensive equipment? Oh, you mean like a $20 Radio Shack Volt Ohm meter? 😬 | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses The question has been asked and answered scores of times. Do you think you're the only one? None so blind as those who will not see. 😎 | |
| Scam dealer on Ebay? There is a big difference between a scam or price gouging and listing an item at a higher price than you yourself might think prudent or fair or whatever. It’s quite possible that the seller is not sure of what to ask in terms of price so he’s lis... | |
| Power Cords Breaking News! This just in! I must be a Mind Reader! Audioquest controls wire directionality for its power cords. From the Audioquest Hurricane power cord web page:"Dielectric-Bias System (DBS; US Pat #7,126,055): By creating a constant dielectri... | |
| Why do turntables sound different? Actually, Mr. Fremer wisely gets quite nervous about vibrational interference. That's why he uses the super duper Minus K negative stiffness isolation stand for the Continuum. The new Obsidian version of the Continuum incorporates a lot of vibrati... | |
| which direction?? - HARMONIC TECH - TRUTH LINK INTERCONNECTS Bingo! Another big mistake in the white paper is the idea that crystals are formed by drawing the wire through the die. The crystals are already there. Copper and silver like most metals are crystalline structures. The problem with drawing wire is... | |
| which direction?? - HARMONIC TECH - TRUTH LINK INTERCONNECTS The guy from Harmonic has a white paper. This is an excerpt. Can anyone find a mistake? A big mistake."When copper slugs are forced through a small die hole to "draw" wire, the copper undergoes a molecular change due to the stress and rapid cool-d... |
