| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? I plead ignorance of this topic. What is a "DC" cable? | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @kosst_amojan We are not seeking proof. We are not tweaking the sound of our systems so we have something to measure. All we care about is maximizing the sonic satisfaction we receive from our systems.It is not about facts. If I change footer... | |

| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @mrdecibel Regarding the first of the above two consecutive posts, no noise and I have been expressing a similar sentiment here. ( I hope I am accurately portraying your sentiments here, nonoise) The point you rightly emphasize is about the nays... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Geez you guys are even tempting me to give the pucks a shot. Perhaps Santa is delivering a VISA card or two this year!🎅 | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @nonoise Totally agree with point #1 above! We are serious listeners who truly care about what we hear, not whether or not we can provide experimental data to validate what our own ears tell us. As I have mentioned before...if someone doesn’t hear... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @nonoise I could be mistaken but I believe the argument made by fuse skeptics has been that merely the process of removing one fuse and inserting another is, through the friction involved in that action, removing oxidation from the fuse holder gi... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Paul McGowan of PS Audio records a video daily where he answers an audio question sent in by audiophiles. In watching many of these it is interesting to see how Paul, who has been designing fine gear for decades, has allowed his ears to inform ne... | |
| Can't we all just get along? @geoffkait "Furthermore, even experts in a given field disagree." Totally TRUE. In reading about the similar design goals that disparate designers have, it is intriguing how many totally different approaches these various designers employ to ge... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Exactly nonoise! My experiences with Steve McCormack have always been based on what is heard not a belief, myth or fable. He engineers a solid design and chooses each capacitor, resistor, wire, etc. to maximize the sonic performance of his gear. ... | |
| Can't we all just get along? @willemj I agree. I like to read about facts here that inform me about audio equipment. I do also, however, value the opinion of most who post here. In my case, that is the main reason I come here. I have a reputation with my extended family ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? I did have a conversation about fuses with another well known amplifier designer, Steve McCormack, when I need to replace fuses in my modified DNA-1 Deluxe. The fuses blew because of a stupid mistake on my part not on any deficiency with the amp. ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @geoffkait If I remember correctly, I believe Paul indicated that no matter what fuse he incorporates into his designs, there will be audiophiles who will replace them with their own more exotic parts. He already pays attention to the impact that... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? An observation. Paul's video experience with hearing a difference when fuses were changed in a component he designed when he had no idea what adjustments were being made to the component directly goes against the oft referenced phrase used here a... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Agreed! But perhaps less "entertaining". |
