| Most important fundamentals in your built/modded listening room? There was a recent article in Stereophile from Kongens Lyngby of Denmark where ceiling height wasn't the biggest concern regarding room modes. That being said, I would focus on wall, floor and ceiling construction as being as stout as possible in... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses edgewound, there are no markings on the end caps. | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Out of curiosity I peeled the label away on my blown SR orange fuse. It looks like a ceramic fuse with modifications was used. I don't know what brand it is and am not bashing SR. Others may know what it is. Pictures on my virtual system. | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's I'm one of the biggest skeptics on this kind of stuff. I heard the demo at RMAF in 2019 and it was impressive. Bought the HFT's (16) in total. They made a positive impact on my system. I previously had some bass traps in the corners and some d... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I think some of it boils down to time and interest. There too many other diversions. It does take some nurturing to appreciate music on a deeper level than on a phone and earbuds. If I was starting out I would stream (CD quality or above) with ... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Several have commented on the "sound improvement" fuses can make. Regardless of that point, if a manufacture cannot provide product stability in this case of a fuse used at the amperage recommended by the hardware manufacture why use it? | |
| So done with audiophile fuses jimob,The first failure was with a fuse in a pre amp that I bought at the stated value. After that on failed I installed a fuse that was two values higher in the same pre amp. It worked fine until I sold it (about 6 months). I removed the fuse ... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses I may give the Hifi fuses another swing. The only reason it blew was because of a bad rectifier tube in my power supply. It also took out the original glass fuse. I will say that it seemed to be more stable than the blue or orange fuse since it... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Tried the orange fuse as an experiment. Yes there was a minor change in the sound but it wasn't earth shaking or as profound as others have experienced. I do like some of their other products along the HFT line and they are a noticeable positive... | |
| What is a good base for speakers +1 for Millercarbon, he is correct about springs. I tried stone, spikes, no spikes, Herbbie's gliders and the Townshend podiums sound the best. Get the cheap spring option he mentions and try them out | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable You could also try some DIY Duelund 12ga speaker cable from the parts connexion at $32 per meter per side. | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? It's all fun and games until one blows. | |
| is using a tube amp every day bad? It's not a bad idea to have an extra set of tubes on hand. At various points you can insert the new tubes especially in the critical positions and see if you have been missing something. My brother has vintage fender and marshal amps and just re... | |
| When does one know it's time to upgrade? I like starting with the speakers first. I like to test them with acoustic music such as jazz, symphonic and vocals. Especially important is piano and strings. I usually disregard specs and just use my ears, if they past this test, they will u... | |
| Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics??? Using the seismic platforms under my speakers. To me it's an essential component. |
