| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? I hate to judge too hastily but perhaps I need to hire a translator to translate my posts. Jea48, what was it about ceramic duplex outlet covers and resonators that you didn’t understand? Why all the angst? Don't get all strung out on me. It’s not... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Whoa! Hey! Guess what? Would you believe that was going to be my first product? Ortho Ears. I was going to use Mr. Spock ears that would fit over the ears. That was 25 years ago. But it turns out the cupping of hands around the ears only really wo... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? You two knuckleheads seem to be ignoring the fact that I’m the one with the degree in theoretical physics. I’m the one with courses in statistical thermodynamics and nuclear physics. That I’m the one with courses you’ve never even heard of, you kn... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? I may be slow but I’m ahead of you, Tom. You have undoubtedly only scratched the surface of materials treatment. I don’t know why you insist on thinking you know what I’m referring to. When you assume something you make a fool out of me and Uma Th... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? Tom, you really are high, aren’t you? What on Earth are you going on about? This particular conversation highlights the differences between high end audio and pro audio. | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? Tom, are you high? My audiophile outlet covers are treated a number of ways. Sorry but I can't actually tell you how. Then I'd have to kill you. Do you really think I have a kiln here and produce my own ceramic duplex covers? That's special. | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? Just to mix things up a little the ones I sell are actually resonantors. I know what you're thinking - why would you want to put something that resonates there? Thus, you can employ them on UNUSED outlets as well as outlets for audio devices AND ... | |
| Help with room treatments Trying to find the ideal locations for room treatments such as echo tunes, tube traps, Shakti Halographs, Skyline diffusers, crystals, DIY Helmholtz resonators, panels by ear is like trying to solve five simultaneous equations in seven unknowns. T... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Full disclosure: my previous system’s World’s Most Modded Oppo 103 employed a copper bypass in lieu of fuse. The Modded Woo Audio Headphone amp with ’42 Tung Sol rectifier tube and two '52 Sylvania Bad Boys (2 Herbies tube dampers each!) employed ... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Whoa! I'll drink to that! 🍺 🍺 🍺 | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? I don't wish to disappoint anyone but I heard Wolfie won’t go out without a chaperone. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Why is the sky blue, daddy? It just is, son. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? brfTo answer the OP’s question, all one needs to do is read the responses. Over half of audiophiles do not believe that fuses and power cords make a sonic improvement. Since fuses and power cords do not require a modification to the existing equip... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? bigkidzHA HA HA. Why don’t they use better resistors, capacitors, chokes or transformers, chassis metal thickness, feet, etc. Cost to price ratio? I think those would make bigger improvements than some fuses IMO. Why not just use a copper bar?Why ... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC All (rpt all) DACs should be isolated from very low frequency vibration and some internal damping might also be advisable. All circuit boards should be isolated from the chassis, you know, as opposed to being coupled to the chassis. |
