| Fuses Adding to the list of builders who do bypass caps in the signal path are deHavilland and Danny over at GR Research. Both are big advocates of bypassing with the right combo in signal positions. I agree 100% based on my builds and mods. It can work... | |
| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? LOL! Perfect. Yes, this is certainly analogous. | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… I have owned many hybrid amps over the years. Monarchy Audio made some fine ones, Aesthetix Atlas, several from Blue Circle Audio, Butler Audio and another one that I can’t seem to remember. All were smooth and had a touch that tube sound we like... | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… By new I meant a unit with some hours on it vs none. Both the Harbeth and Audiokinesis are great sounding speakers! I will need to read up on those Fink Team Kim. Not familiar with them. I think after a week of play time the A200 will reflect a ... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Same experience here with Gaia’s. I liked them better than spikes, but the Townshend Pods were a substantial level beyond the Gaia’s. Townshend helped my speakers disappear and gave my system a wonderful sense of ease that the Gaia’s could not match. | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Seems you guys are getting brand new units! I imagine they will need some play time before the tubes and amp sound their best. Should be a fun time for you guys. Can I ask what speakers you guys are using? Love to know. | |
| Fuses @lemonhaze,I have compared Path to Duelund, Mundorf and Mills MRA. The Path are the best as they are the quietest and most neutral. They have an uncanny sense of ease to them. The Duelund resistors are good, but compared to Path can sound a tad ... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! Yes the Puritan after some two weeks of break in is very good. The video posted above by @mikelavigne had some great info. Thanks. It did mention the Puritan, but unfortunately they said some things about the Puritan grounding that is misleading a... | |
| Zavfino @lalitk You are an audio cable master of experience! Wow! | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Wanted to update folks on a new power cord I purchased based on it’s wonderful synergy with the Circle Labs A200. The Hijiri Nagomi power cord. Colin of Gestalt Audio Design is the importer/dealer for these cords. I tested many power cords both ... | |
| Zavfino I have been listening to the Majestic power cord all week on my Circle Labs A200 integrated amp. Nice sounding cord overall. For the money it is a great value! I have also had some other power cords on trial over the past two weeks. I decided to ... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Good question. The ENO filter has a short ethernet cable built into it. The Innuos is stock with an upgraded QSA blue fuse. | |
| Audio Research and Acme Audio Labs fuse Yes the fuse, IEC and AC wire are all part of the power supply. Yes the power cord is part of the power supply. The quality of incoming AC impacts the sound and is indeed part of the signal path. If you don’t think so, then try playing music witho... | |
| Zavfino Yes indeed. I am always curious. I suppose to a fault! | |
| Zavfino @facten You can demo the Fusion ICs vs what I made for you. I would be very surprised if the Fusion is better? Maybe. Perhaps a sideways move? Never know until you try. If you do try them please let me know.I never liked the sound of stranded silv... |
