| The guru on fuses: I wish I had come up with this phrase but you’re drowning in a reckless, infantile philosophy. Allnoise, stop being such a nong.https://www.dictionary.com/browse/nong | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 Then next level up from the Lux if you have more funds, I’d look at the Gryphon Diablo 120!!Cheers George | |

| The guru on fuses: So, on one hand we have 10s of thousands of audiophiles who hear a beneficial sonic improvement with fuses That btw is well over the top, and they definitely aren't audiophiles. Just show one of these $$$ "boutique fuse manufacture" posts or adver... | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 The Sasha DAW have a "similar" looking impedance/phase-angle curve, not quite as bad phase. https://www.stereophile.com/images/1219Wilsonfig1.jpgTo the Sabrina X https://www.stereophile.com/images/221Wilsonfig1.jpgStereophile said this about the S... | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 Lux has complimentary push pull Bipolar output devicesPas has complimentary push pull Mosfets output devices.All else being equal for current delivery into low impedances (power supply etc), I would go the Luxman for bipolar outputs as they aren’t... | |
| The guru on fuses: "When" you don't hear a difference, then return them for a full refund. They bank on you "not doing" just that, it's how "snake oilers" work.Even these $$$ boutique fuse manufacturers are smart enough not to stand up for the claims made by fu... | |
| Homebreww Stepped Attenuators get them from here, Canada, you want the CT2https://www.audiyo.com/ | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Did you test to see if they actually do that in this application? Yes, that why I said it. I would think that due to the low impedances involved the interconnect issues wouldn’t be an issue. And to have the MSB buffer at the Hypex input or 1mt a... | |
| Homebreww Stepped Attenuators For "switched/stepped attenuators:"With 100k input impedance, 10kohm pot will be fine, even 20k, logarithmic best, linear will work also, but it will come on tap much quicker/earlier.These are very good quality.http://www.dact.com/html/attenuators... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment Seems like all your favourites were R2R Ladder dacs, and rightly so, as Redbook (PCM) is converted "bit perfect" by R2R dacs. Delta Sigma while good at doing SACD or DSD can only give a facsimile of RedBook (PCM).Cheers George | |
| Rogue DragoN or Bel Canto Ref600 M Now that I look closely at the Rogue, it too probably has opamp buffers (circled) to drive the Hypex NC500 modules with.https://ibb.co/S0ZySr7With just maybe the tube as input for the buffer to give some tube flavour, good thing is that "could" be... | |
| Rogue DragoN or Bel Canto Ref600 M Sorry wrong pic above for the Belcanto’s opamp input.This is it circledhttps://ibb.co/1sswLW5Cheers George | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? Get a good DAC. That’ll give you more of an improvement than pumping more $ into an Oppo that’s out of business +1 get a good new school R2R discrete dac with volume, and go direct to poweramp/sCheers George |
