Quantum Science Audio Thread
Been using on/off breaker switches in my mods and gear for many years. Sounds better than a stock fuse. I learned the idea from Paul Weitzel of Tube Research Labs some 16 ears ago. Eaton Heinemann. Does it sound better than a QSA fuse? Don’t know ... 
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
Let me clarify something I should have said earlier. The Solen caps, or any film cap, will sound better than 95% of the electrolytics out there in a power supply. I gave you other film choices better than Solen. I thought the Mundorf tube caps wer... 
GaN Amp & Speaker Popping Sound At Power On
Must be in their amp designs.  Some sort of audible relay protection device?

Yes my peachtree audio class D ampmade the same noise at turn on and off.  
Can the AVM 6.2 or Pass INT-60 replace my LM845P?
I have a suggestion for you to look into as a potential new option. The integrated amplifier is made by a company called Circle Labs. The A200. It is a hybrid integrated amplifier with a tube preamplifier linked to a class A single ended, solid st...

Other Peachtree amps I have owned did this.  
Electrolytic capacitor replacement
If needing to stick with Electrolytics, then I use these! These may fit….Mundorf HV Mlytic - use these all the time Audio Note Kaisei - these will most likely fit.They can get pricy. Very good.

Please confirm the cap value needed and the voltage realized in your power supply. Here are my two favorite film caps for power supplies,- Clarity TC 600v. They have a 50uf Kelvin style and 55uf regular dual lead. Many other values.  No bypass cap... 
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
@jmphotography Did you purchase another unit? Just curious what you decided on.  
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
Love my Innuos Zenith with the new Sense software. I have no issues and the sound is great. The new Roon 1.8 also sounds good on the Zenith. I find Roon 1.8 now sounds better than the previous version and really on par with Sense now. Two good opt... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
It is also important to remember, wether golden ears, a chef, or even a sound professional, we are each unique and can hear things differently. We have subjective sonic preferences and particular auditory sensitivities that cause us to focus in on...

@prof Your experience with Townshend is yours alone. Share specifically how they were used etc… When you do this we all benefit. Nothing in audio is absolute. A product works wonderfully in one situation and not another for a host of reasons, some... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
Sure. You don’t understand nor have any direct experience with Townshend under electronics, so in the end your comments fit that “pigs wings” statement more accurately. This gets so tiresome. This should be a place to share actual experiences, not...

@facten I will respond to you more fully once I listen more. If you do not have the five upgraded and very heavy Lundahl chokes, then the 4 A Pods are best. My early impressions are the Pods sound more balanced top to bottom, have a better sense o... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
Update. I placed three B Pods under the dac. Two under the heavy side with the trannys and chokes and one on the lighter side. Now the Pods are just under 2 inches high meeting the 30% compression rule. The unit now moves more freely when touched....
