| Might changing cables require repositioning of speakers? To clarify. The speakers were positioned a week or two before swapping the power cords mentioned (the previous ones are still around if I want to go back, which is not yet out of the question). It took two hours and a good wad of cash for two of t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just installed a pair of Blacks today in Quad 12L actives, replacing Furutech fuses. Noticed some pleasant differences straight out of the box in a few senses. Look forward to what shows after burn in. Of course, the thing about checking directi... | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions Depends on what your trying to accomplish. | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions Spikes in carpet are a pita to deal with. Isoacoustics has new products, including screw-in GAIA speaker isolation cones, but they are relatively expensive. | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions My question about the Auralex sub platforms is how they would handle a floor stander. Subs are s more distributed load. | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions Thanks shadorne. Given what you said, do you think I should just skip the spikes? They’re hell to move around. I put a set in one speaker and am going to take them out, at least until I spot the final locations. Troy, good choice in taking on ATC,... | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions Thanks, good ideas. What about the Auralex subwoofer platforms, which are 15x15x1.75? They go on Amazon for about $60 each. There's another called the Pyle PSI15, similar dimensions with 2.25" height, but they seem cheaper not just in price. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... " Hello Highstream, Although I’ve had no blown Black fuses (slo blo) in my components I believe as others have stated, moving up 1 step for ampere rating is an acceptable practice. Charles"The question I have at the moment whether or not it's ne... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... mapman, the test is what you hear. If that hasn't changed, what's the point? Sure, read on if you want to see if an explanation about fuses pops up that satisfies you, and then maybe the jump back in. But even if it did/does, that still wouldn't c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... As I wrote, I’ve been working my way through this thread, now at page 22. There’s something I would have written then, an observation - not mediation - that still seems relevant. Namely, lay off mapman - and mapman, what are you still doing here? ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... fleschler, not here! George, if you think that those of us who claim that fuses can make a difference are just gullible, why are spending your time here? In any case, you've made your point, so please move on. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks for your replies. Over in the PS Audio fuse thread, one commenter has been rather vehement in arguing that SR fuses are very tilted and wrong sounding, accentuating the leading edge of transients over the natural bloom of instrumental textu... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I don’t need any convincing about fuses, having tried HI-Fi Supreme and Acme before settling on Furutech’s and their GTX (R) outlets for the past year and a half. From that perspective, I’ve been working my way through this thread day by day, but ... | |
| Oppo 103 and PWD II - coax audio worth it? No, two channel is fine. Toslink port already taken on dac (from TV). Any suggestions for good coax cables (RCA to RCA)? | |
| Are HDMI cables hot swapable? I lost an HDMI port on my TV hot swapping. |
