| Anyone Using Crystals? I realize the idea of RFI/EMI absorption or dissipation using crystals has been bandied around a lot but actually I find that - in almost almost all cases - the method of operation is vibration control. It doesn’t make sense that crystals react on... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Almarg, let me give you a little logic lesson if I can be so bold. Just because there are a lot of variables doesn’t mean that fuses are not directional. Capish? If you guys were really interested in the truth rather than arguing til you’re blue i... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Terry9I found Ralph’s explanation of the phenomenon to be convincing. And it would be very easy to test. Anyone who wanted to bother only needs to repeat the experiment many times with randomization, and count. I suggest a paradigm known as ’two a... | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money That’s pretty weird since they are award winning cables. You don’t get those awards if the cables don’t sound great. Usually, anyway. Looks like you're the exception that proves the rule. | |
| Cable manufacturers? Eggs Akley! If it walks like a troll, etc., etc. | |
| Cable manufacturers? Well, there's determining which way the ARROWS go, for one thing. And cryogenically treating them, which almost all self-respecting high end companies do. Termination is critical, too. | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money Thanks for not bad mouthing the good people at Anti Cables. But seriously, how could they be too bright? They’re just solid copper. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "One key point that keeps hitting me squarely between the eyes about this thread though is that I see myriad references to real science, scientific method, etc...on this thread but when I read through everything carefully and objectively, I don’t ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses davehrabWith regard to fuse direction I believe the 50% ... 50% ... 98% rule applies ... simply stated when ever an audiophile has a 50 / 50 chance of installing a fuse in the correct orientation ... 98% of the time he will select the wrong direct... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses charlesdad1My experience with the SR Black fuses is similar to those of nonoise with his fuses. I listened to the fuses placed in one direction and then reversed this direction. Without fail there’s an undeniable change in the sound, not necessari... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses What the guy at SR meant when he said "try it both ways" is that the SR fuses ARE directional (as are all fuses) but you cannot tell which way is the right way to insert them just by looking at them. You can't go by the lettering and you can't go ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses almargGeoff’s statement above is correct. See the first of my posts dated 10-28-2016 in the long running "Synergistic Red Fuse" thread, in which I quote posts that have been made here by Ralph and several other designers of well regarded audio ele... | |
| Worst record ever? Bob Til You Drop was in fact the worst record ever produced. Execrable. | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money vtvmtodvmI always wonder if anybody using esoteric “high end” AC power line cords has paused to consider the household wiring on the other side of their own listening room wall. That wire is ordinary AWG 12 Romex if it's for a 20 ampere circuit ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses gdnrbobOh, 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, so... |
