| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? A bargain in a R2R discrete DAC is the Denafrips DAC’s starting at $750 or so - the Ares their entry level one is an exceedingly good value. I believe all Denafrips are based on Sokeris module boards, and his complete dacs you would think will be... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... jea48 1 and 2 are good that have not been stressed by overloads or a high voltage transient event/s. 4 and 5 are clearly blown. If your asking no. If your telling wrong. They are the same fuse over time, and none are blown, all functional just sh... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Expectation bias can be easily eliminated by careful testing and listening. It’s not really that difficult. And it's obvious that you can't do either, especially when you state they are directional. All your maybe hearing is an old fuse (pictu... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Go back through the fuse threads and you’ll see that this argument has already been shot down. Really!! think about it. Your comparing your new "boutique" $$$ fuse to an old $2 original one that’s seen many turn on cycles from when the unit was n... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... purport to *hear* an improvement when switching from a manufacturer supplied fuse to a boutique aftermarket fuse. Simple answer to that one, "they don't". If you know your ac/mains theory, it's just not possible. What they do hear is "expectati... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... twoleftears387 posts01-02-2018 5:38amSo if I only need 0.25A in the first place, and go up to 0.5A, that's still doubling the value. Hmmm. Don't do it, the one who said that has no idea on safety or of mains or ac theory, and his advice is abo... | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? MF has had QC issues in the past. It is a shame that this company could not build a better SACD spinner. It had nothing to do with MF, the problem was as Alex ( aplhifi ) explained above in the Philips FURORE chipset, and it wasn’t just with MF, ... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Whatever. Is that all you've got, this is just another boutique fuse ripoff, from another manufacture, making 600% markup on something that should be $2. You really need to be cleansed by your leader David Miscavige for peddling this snake oi... | |
| What do you think is the best make volume control ?? ALPS NOBLE ???? All pots with resistive tracks sound different because they use different substances for the wiper and the track composition, and the VERY light point contact tension between wiper and track that is a potential problem area. They are all flawed, a... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... leog2015 Audio Horizons: "We can reworking your fuse once it return and cost $70 each plus shipping".Happy holiday! “ $70!!! bucks to fix a fuse. What next!!!Save your $$ and throw it away as you would with a blown fuse.And get a approved rated f... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy treynolds155 OP7 posts12-28-2017 5:52amSorry, thought Gumby implied multibit. I’ve read several reviews comparing the Arcam as being very close to the Gungnir ds so I was actually thinking they mislabeled this as a Gumby. From what I've read, ... | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? The best front end now or whenever is the Naim CD-555 with it's optional 555 power supply, even today commands big $$$$$ for those who know it.Cheers George | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... I will try the SR Blacks next time. Do some homework on ac theory, don't become another fuse patsy. For the fuse snake oil manufactures, it's a massive mark up for them, where else can you get 600% on your dollar invested, that's why it's hamm... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!! Just stay away from the fuse snake oil, it's all BS just to get your dollars.Cheers George | |
| Equalization The best use of tone controls (which went out-of-fashion in high-end in the 70’s) Yes they did, but from those that have it, this now has turned the tide on those old tone controls, and from reports here on A-gon, it sound very good. And it tunes... |
