High Quality Fuses in Amps
Told you stickman, end it before it becomes a full blow weed.The weed propagators have arrived just the mention of the word fuse, and they’re on it like s**t to a blanket to peddle their >$100+ fuses.Cheers George "un-following"

stickman451 You have the power to end this thread before it becomes a another weed, just ask the mods to do so for you.Cheers George 
High Quality Fuses in Amps
stickman451 Fuse threads pop up like weeds, kill/discredit one and another sprouts up. I can see why, as the profit margin huge, on some are over 500%, this is enough to bring in the unscrupulous fuse "snake oilers" into our equipment/music pas... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
Pressed commercial CDs can sound significantly different from one another, Ans any burnt copies of these will have more error corrections that have to be done. Because of what you see and the laser has to see in the link below Left moulded/sta... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
michaelgreenaudio OK Michael, forget about the tonal differences, with playback/burn equipment.From a retail stamped CD, burnt to a blank once or from each burn consecutively say 10 times, which has the least errors on it? The original, first gen... 
Speakers "Disappearing"
Most speakers will disappear better if you:1. Pull them well out from the rear wall 1- 2mts. and at least 1mt from the side walls2. Reduce toe in, so you can just see the inner side of the speakers from your listening position. 3: The biggie: get... 
Thiel CS3.6 and PrimaLuna
dnanstad I see now you sold the Thiels and kept the PL amp, this amp has a peaking high frequency that starts at 10k, only a 2ohm load flattens it out (green trace) a speaker that seems subdued in this area or one that has a 2ohm load in this are... 
Upgrade Pass Labs xa 30.5
The Mani 2's are only  80.7dB efficient so yes more watts would be better than what the XA30.5 can give, but going to an X and not an XA you'll loose out on that Class-A magic that the XA series give, better to go XA 100.8 or XA160.8, the load th... 
Should I eliminate my preamp?
However, since the OP has all the tools to do the test for himself, he is best to answer his own question. +1I have always found that if you have enough gain for the loudness level you want or need, then going direct (with no preamp) has always b... 
Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP
barricadedbob  Infinity Kappa 9's sound terrible...HELP These could need a very good amp that can deliver gobs of current, if we could see what the -phase angle graph looks like.As they look to be an evil load to an amp at 35hz and again at 7h... 
Gotta love Nelson Pass
Youtube interview with Dennis Had (I have one of his Firebottle HO amps) where he laughs off the fuse thing Like to see this wolf, got a link, might need some backup Ordnance one day. Cheers George 
Gotta love Nelson Pass
mikexxyz  He is an impressive guy. I love the fact that he routinely shows up at forums and discusses projects and donates designs to DIY'ers. I am always amused at the wanna be engineers that try to redesign his products with after market prod... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
 And in this instance, I agree with you that the copied cda file should not sound better This is all I'm saying the more you read write(burn) from a CD the more errors there will be. I don't give a ratz **** about downloaded music as I have yet... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
There are a myriad of reasons I’ve abandoned CDs long ago. I still have 4000 though.... I still find they are better sounding than a copy "from them" to any other format. Unless you can get hold of the original master, that has one less transfe... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
Nevertheless, it doesn’t prove anything. Again, sez you.Cheers George
