| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? One of the most memorable times I’ve heard a pair of single stack Quad 57’s, was with this little beauty from Nelson Pass, it gave them extension in the highs and a great taught extended bass with a midrange to die for. It impressed me so much I b... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... You might learn how to spell LITTELFUSE correctly when trying to make your point.Is that all you have Geoff? beside the voodoo you preach?Hopefully anyone reading this thread looking for serious information realizesthe Synergistic Fuse = nonsense ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "BTW if someone puts these in as their + and - DC rail fuses, and one blows before the other, you can say goodbye to that amp if not the speakers as well."If you say so. But I suspect the operative phrase in that statement is "if someone puts thes... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... geoffkaitSeeing it’s now fact by many having these SR mains fuses blow, that the melting point (which is the blow point) is wrongly overrated. It’s a wonder you and the others haven’t sprouted other furphy that they are Class-A fuses, therefore cl... | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take uberwaltz Before you spend big bucks on a newer AR pre on a hope it will be better than what you have now, try this with the volume on the Esoteric full up or if it has the fixed output. For $49, and it’s refundable as well. http://schiit.com/prod... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... almargAl, they’re deliberately overrating their fuses, biasing the fuse higher into class-A, so it runs hotter, closer to the melting point, this voodoo will come next.Cheers George | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? In response to this, "burn in" and "being out of adjustment" are not the same. If you know better convince Nelson Pass of this below, in case you missed it.Nelson Pass:"We burn products in for two reasons -1. We want to see if anything fails.2. We... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? Warm up is fine for correct bias to be reached and dc offsets to stabilize. From new first power up, a few hours are fine for all caps and components to form.But 600hrs to reach optimum sonic ability is shear voodoo, and as has been said it's just... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? "Burn in" is a very different thing than "break in". Nelson Pass still refers to them as the same in my last post, factory "burn in" or listeners sonic expectation "burn in", take it up with him, if you think your more technically knowledgeable.C... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? Nelson PassWe burn products in for two reasons -1. We want to see if anything fails.2. We want to readjust the amplifier against any drift in performance that comes with a burn-in.And you can bet your life that’s not done after 600hrs!!!Nelson Pas... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? OK, so now you are making statements on break in. Show us where you're getting that info fromJust Google "forming electrolytic capacitors" and be enlightened just a little. Cheers George | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? dlcockrumI put the SR Black mains fuse in my REL subs about a week ago and had to cut the output levels back at a good bit. "Previous to the fuses, I could not enjoy low listening levels, the sound was just not rich and dynamic."You and geoffkait... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? Does this meet your criteria George?I trust some things Charlie Hansen say’s, but sorry not this one Charlie. If this is so with this Ayre CDP, then the (break-in) needs to done at the factory, then all adjustments be checked and re-done if necess... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? While the Dreadnaught D amplifier will sound wonderful without any burn-in time, users "MAY" experience small sonic improvements during the first week or so of operation. "MAY" this is a get out of jail card. Otherwise they would have used the wor... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? How could you possibly get that from reading my post? From this, as it infers that it’s in prototype stage. When a product is finalized there are no changes to be made once in production, as it’s all sorted.When a designer is building a new produc... |
