Only one thing left for youhttps://youtu.be/YTY26k0CA0I?t=4 
The guru on fuses:
When you replace, with a stable solid directional device, a magnet the increase in performance is incredible. A magnet has directionality built in and can follow the signal path in a circuit providing another enhancement. Tom All your answers prov... 
The guru on fuses:
replace an unstable resonant device a dangle dong contained in a glass straw (description of an AC fuse) with a stable solid directional device Really!! to which "device" are you referring to, that is "directional" < > in an AC mains vol... 
Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ?
No Parasound then, sounds terrible.Parasound JC1 Halo’s sound great in high bias mode, to me they fit in above the Lux, under the D’Agostiono, and the Gryphon’s are on top.Cheers George 
The guru on fuses:
Fuse is a very very small resistor on the supply line, whose value is almost no different from the rest of the copper supply wire it is in series with.Now please repeat after me, while slowly and repeatedly banging your head against a corner wall:... 
preamp and dac volume
A Volume Setting of 88% on the Wadia 321 will provide optimum performance when it is con-nected to a Preamplifier (Integrated Amplifier or Receiver). " That just means it gives out the "Standard Redbook" 2v output at 88, higher though it "could" o...

A poor-mans D'Agostino would be a Parrasound JC Halo"" amp.Cheers George 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Last night Sade "Promise" CD, she was in the room singing to me, startling very clean dynamics, just a stunning 1985 West German recording.http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/60499Cheers George 
preamp and dac volume
I go 100 but if you like 88 better with yours it’s kosher. Depending on what dac it is, and how "much gain" they've used after the ESS D to A chip in the output buffer, 100 "could" over load the input section stage of a preamp if it has one bef... 
preamp and dac volume
I give it a try over next couple days and get back here.Be interesting to see where your volume level is for loud listening direct to amp, using balanced and also rcaCheers George  
preamp and dac volume
jbuhl Why don’t you try just using the dac and it’s volume control direct to poweramp, with no preamp in the way, which cause colourations, distortions, and less detail anyway.?? If you give it a go, let us know at what volume 0-100 your using fo... 
Amp to Pair with Revel F228be
mf612 OP Amp to Pair with Revel F228be Quite a hard load on amplifiers, have to be a good one to get the very best out of them.Stereophile’s Revel F228be measurements"The impedance magnitude remains below 8 ohms for the entire midrange and bass, ... 
Pass Labs vs. Sugden
Look as a guy that's built many high bias Class-A amps, even a couple of water cooled ones, what I see is what I see. And Pass is way ahead of Sudgen for an amp for any "driving condition", and above that again by the same measure is to me is Gryp... 
What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics?
John Darko the youtube reviewer has them on all his equipment. I would not buy any of these items unless they have undergone cryogenic treatment and quantum cleaning. Be sure their astrological sign is aligned with yours. And the most import... 
Pass Labs vs. Sugden
Sugden is not anaemic at all.Read again, not the sound, what’s inside!Even on Sugdens "biggest power amp", from 2006 the transformer and very thing is "anaemic" in comparison insidehttps://neophonics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/SUGDEN-MASTERCLA...
