| Ceramic fuses What do the "legs" of audio components have to do with the metals used in fuses No wonder your a "fuser" if you had to ask that. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Pass XA25.. You will want to open it up and check for tubes inside.. Ah yeah??? unusually tight, uncoloured and extended sounding tubes yes.Other amps but low power and gain would be Nelson Pass’s Aleph’s, which think all models are single ended,... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 sim_audio_nerd Just noticed you also are now using a ModWright PH 9.0 phono which has up to 66dB!!! of gain also, you have so much gain, do what I suggested in my first post, two posts back. You’ll not only have a a more palatable presentation ins... | |
| Ceramic fuses Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What have you guys been smoking.Look at the thousands of components that make up audio equipment, all their legs are made from steel, no gold/silver/rhodium etc etc. Just plain old steel!!!!!!!!Next we have some snake oil comp... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 sim_audio_nerd OP the presentation is a little in your face. It feels like I am sitting in the front row with the band right in front Your problem is too much gain with very efficient speakers. The Pass 30.8 only needs 0.7v input for it to g... | |

| An audio rack that really does make a difference. If anything, it diffuses the sound and broadens the sound stage - but only if the rack is at least 3 feet behind the plane of the speaker face. And even more so the depth if it's not there at all.Cheers George | |
| Ceramic fuses @georgehifi Thanks for posting. Those images are eye opening. Any idea how many cycles passed between images? No, but if you watch a fuse very closely on a poweramp when you turn it on from cold, you’ll see the fuse element inside bend and return... | |
| Ceramic fuses ricey Just re-new your fuse with the same amperage if it’s old and has seen many turn on cycles, with a quality one like Bussman or Littlefuse and clean the cradle fuse contacts and maybe squeeze them in a little for a tight fit. And definitely do... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound I would suggest they piss. Into the wind, instead. I, as you; know that fragrance..when we get wind of it. Ok so it deteriorated to this Suggest you get to know your own.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DubmFjaWwAARWwz.jpgThen you canhttps://thoughtcat... | |
| Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ? Quality plastic caps will outlast us both cakyol so long as they're not used too close to their max voltage, up to 70% is still fineCheers George | |
| High end Class D amps? bluorion OP gdnrbob As I said your Lux is more than fine for that speakers load and probally better than any Class-D. But if your insistent on getting a Class-D, I’d wait for mid February to see what this new all out Integrated is all about, and ... | |

| High end Class D amps? djones51 The Luxman is more than enough to drive those speakers. Ditto. bluorion OP Just look at the impedance/phase curves, absolutely no problem for the Lux, and it will sound better that any class-D on them, to boot.https://www.stereophile... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. George, please, you must be referring to home theater. This is a 2 channel thread. What are you talking about, if you have no constructive advise, don’t be a putz.🥴 |
