| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread I have two large dual chassis mono-block amps that need 8 amp slow blows, so two there. A Schiit Yggy - 1/2 amp fuse. Preamp has two 2 amp slow blows (has different transformers which are individually fused, filaments turn on first (lots and lots... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread I’m just saying, for people that are going to take out the protection why don’t you get rid of the actual connection too. Every connection you can get rid of will improve the sound quality. I really like the idea of removing the connection all t... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread This is just a question, not a criticism. I’ve been wondering why everyone is working so hard on finding the right metal, polishing, etc. and not just bypassing the entire junk fuse holder and slug and just wiring passed the whole thing with good... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please All things said I do like and agree with firstonetalgull As audio enthusiasts and tweekers we continue the search for the best sound possible no matter the amount of work involved or risk to the equipment. Yes unfortunately I do understand that... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I know you’re going to do what you’re going to do but I’ll just say this. As an electronics tech in several audio companies I’ve seen the damage this kind of thing causes. Especially in tube amps but the same goes for solid state. I think tube ... | |
| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM I believe the actual equipment you are powering has a good deal to do with which power cable you choose and maybe more. Not just the conditioner, etc. In powering my Schiit Yggy LIM DAC I tried WyWires, Kimber, heavy gauge basic AC cable, Tara La... | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore Here are a few spec questions that you will now need when choosing Audiophile Hearing Aids. Bluetooth connectivity: Can I connect my digital sources directly to the hearing aids bypassing my external DAC and speakers? S/N: Class A: Gain: Fr... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I’ve found the LFT-8b’s to be very critical on setup. I have mine just slightly toed in. There is a point where as you listen and adjust the speakers in/out and tilted up/down that all of a sudden it comes into perfect alignment and the sound al... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video I thought the video was pretty good, although I did skim through some of it. I’ve never watched any of his other ones. Being of an addictive nature anyway, I do have to remind myself on and off that it’s about the music for one and two, it’s suppo... | |
| Stealth Audio Cables - Customer Service - Seeking Your Thoughts I’ve seen a lot of these kinds of answers from mfrs. What it amounts to is they don’t want to do it. The cables are probably (I don’t know positively) made by machines so having to have someone sit down and split one is a hassle to them when they ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I’m definitely sure that would sound amazing ricevs. It would take a good load of those batteries to provide the power and current needed. Nothing I can afford to do anymore. The first time I heard a battery operated preamp back in the early 8... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I use a 20 amp balanced AC line conditioner from Equi=Tech. But I’d like to know more about the various Music Purifiers and Ground Enhancers. I have test to use any. I’ve always just over-maxed out the components power supply filtering. Being ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I used the same values as the manual states. Just much better quality. If I had the money I could go even further but you can only do what you can afford. I do have a pair of the Rythmik F12 subs also. One on each side and back towards the cor... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I know many people feel the bare wire is the only way to go. Yes it does sound fantastic. At least for a year or so until it oxidizes. I believe in soldering or at least tinning the wire with good silver solder so things don’t oxidize. If you... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I did completely upgrade the crossover parts in the LFT-8b with a copper foil inductor on the mid-panel, larger gauge copper wire inductor on the woofer, all high quality polypropylene caps and wires everything inside with Furutech OCC wire solder... |
