Class D = Trash?
approximately 1500 hours break-in for Class-D. Wishful thinking, more like breaking the owner down, more like it making him submit.At 2hrs listening every day of the week, that's close to 2 years before break-in, that's just ludicrous, and you ...

Converting KEF 107/2 KUBE to balanced
The simplest way if the interconnect runs are under 5mts is to use these with rca interconnects. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PA3800 http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=PA3802Cheers George

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
fleschler67 postsHas anyone on this forum broke open an SR black fuse and analyzed what it is made of and constructed? Would be very interesting for one of the blown ones to be sent to almarg for a analysis of what’s inside, but then again SR ma... 
Is remastered mainly just less jitter?
Five pages of The Rolling Stones releases, again early stuff was the least compressed, SACD is not so good, and DSD lovers will get a reality check here.http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list/1?artist=Rolling+Stones Cheers George  
Is remastered mainly just less jitter?

Class D = Trash?
I'm with you  madavid0 .The only one I've heard that did something for me was the Bel Canto 600 monoblocks, but that was only with an expensive two way with a Raven tweeter that had a very flat, benign impedance curve of 4ohms.I didn't like it on... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
oregonpapa There are a few of us who have been given the full rundown on WHY these fuses work the magic they do. The problem is, we have been instructed to not tell you and Wolfie. Sorry. Really!!! this smells, if you have been "ordered" that we ...
