| Buying used vs new? I have bought used and new. I usually contact the manufacture directly on new purchases (smaller north American companies) to get a better deal. One absolute is service. It doesn't matter how good a deal you got if it can't be serviced hopefull... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Sometimes you need to gather several points of comment on equipment from different users to form a more informed opinion. Townshend podiums for example I recommend as a critical component. Synergistic Research fuses I can't recommend because the... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player I'm waiting for Luxman to release their D-07X SACD player. The Esoteric models also have my interest but we shall see. | |
| Tube vendors. Vintage Tube Services for me. Several purchases with reasonable prices and excellent tubes. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to tweaks. I own the Podiums for my second story speakers on a suspended wood subfloor. Tried spikes, no spikes stone with spikes and other isolation techniques. The Townshend podiums worked the best for m... | |
| Audio Education If you really want to learn more about audio, join an audio club in your area. There will be more information than you can possibly get from books alone. The second suggestion is to become a critical listener of music which will lead you to equi... | |
| 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... |
