| Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control All preamps with phono inputs have volume control so the question of getting one with volume is a silly title to this thread. Think the maybe OP meant to say " Looking for a phono stage that has volume control" But to use a good phono stage with... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Yeah. Right. Makes total sense. so glad you finally see the forest for the trees. bad contact with a standard fuse can account for a difference in the sound You "fusers" did I say anything about the sound??, I think NOT!!Like Ralph said it can... | |
| Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control Just get the best phono stage you can get.And a $49 Schiit Sys.https://www.schiit.com/products/sysCheers George | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Synergistic Orange fuse was nothing short of unbelievable. According to Atmasphere, the fuse makes a measurable difference. But Georgehifi thinks that this is not possible. Don’t twist what he said into something that you want to believe, bad fu... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? The consensus among most all “skeptics” that I recall including George has been that a better contact between fuse and holder can make a difference. Yes as Ralph also explained, this is correct and gullible buyers of $$$ fuses think it's the ch... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? The contacts on the end of the fuse make a difference too- which has led to the idea that fuses are directional (they aren’t). Its just that sometimes the fuse sits better in its holder if you turn it around (although by simply rotating the fuse y... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I've had quite a few tube amps SET, Push/Pull pentode, ultra-linear and triode. And with all of them the better I made them sound with mods, the closer to the better high bias Class-A/B solid state amps they got. The only tube that was up there wi... | |
| odyssey kismet monpblock odyssey kismet monpblockAny body have any thoughts, comments, recommendations, suggestions with respect to thesethanksdigitaljosephI don't like what happens to the rest of a good sounding stereo amplifier's measured parameters, when you bridge t... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? I guess I'm just interested in what they are doing to that cheap SIBA fuse to make it sound so good? From what I gather they "stroke it"😜, and hope it doesn't blow🤣, apparently some do because they've "maybe it said " been cryo'd and weakened, ... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Agree nothing beats listening. But to give what your listening to, deserves to have the best measurements to do the job properly, and get the very best out of the speakers yes?Even a big Nad will work into them and sound fine, and if you didn't kn... | |
| HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it? I have always preferred attenuation through a robust system (Aesthetix Callisto eclipse) You need to do some homework, most "good solid state dac's" have output stages that will be more "robust: and will have more current drive than most any t... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 George:In my home, the only difference in bass response between the Dag Momentum S250 and the Audio Research amps was the quality of the bass That will be the output impedance of the ARC being 0.7ohm and the D’Ago being 0.2ohm this is 3 x the dam... | |
| Best amp for Wilson Sabrina brentjsimon With that A/B and endorsement from ghasley , looks like the Boulder is a no-brainer Cheers George | |
| HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it? It was faulty or something, I had the "Spring L2" lent to me for 2 very enjoyable weeks, it’s a great dac especially in NOS mode, and this new "May" dac is said to be a magnitude better again, and the bench test measurements back it up.Cheers George | |
| Best amp for Wilson Sabrina brentjsimon To boot brent, the Boulder has an dac in it as well, which is based around Boulder’s flagship 2120 DSD DAC http://boulderamp.com/products/2120-digital-to-analog-converter/Cheers George |
