| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Tbg,On my HiFi-Tuning fuses, the logo itself has the arrow. I couldn't decide for myself either on which direction to go since I couldn't tell for sure the sonic difference between the two ways. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Knownothing,1. I let each fuse settle in for about 3-4 days. I agree with you, it takes about 70-100 hrs for the fuses to settle in. This was more apparent with the ceramic fuses for some reason. The glass fuses seemed to settle it much quicker. T... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57,The ones I have are Bussmann's ABC. Below are the specs for the 4Amp fuse I use for the mid-range driver that I got from Master-Carr. It doesn't mention whether it is sand-filled or not. I also have the 2.5Amp fuse for the tweeter, and tha... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Nsgarch BTW, were both of the ceramic fuses you tried sand-filled?I don't know if the HiFi-Tuning fuse is sand-filled. Perhaps others know the answer to that question.The reason for my interest in mechanically isolating conductors is I've have bee... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I just cracked open a Buss Fuses ceramic fuse. The fuse is a sand-filled ceramic tube. I'm using these ceramic fuses on my Maggies 3.6R. The fuses are mounted on the speaker frame, so they are susceptible to vibration from the drivers. There is on... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones The HiFi-Tuning website in Germany has the prices for their fuses in Euros. The fuses are priced at 16 , which is about US$ 23. Then these fuses travel business class across the ocean and by the time they reach US shores, they cost US$ 40. I'm gl... | |
| Unexpected preamp needed- return policy important Can you suggest specific passive volume controls for me to research?I've had the Promitheus Audio Reference C-core for almost a year and I totally agree with Cincy_bob statements. Ever since the Reference C-core was broken in, I've been trying to ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones <<09-04-08: Pubul57Is there a great $10 fuse?>>Even better. There is a great $1.20 fuse. I gave the details in my first post. | |
| What amps for Maggies? Spectron amps will really drive all the drivers in the Maggies 3.6R with absolute control. I tested the Maggies 3.6R at the dealer with a Mcintosh integrated amp and with a Classe integrated amp. I then drove it in my setup with a Krell integrated... | |
| Spectron Musician III Mk2 - Review in Stereo Times Rafael,Thanks for sharing this with us. It's quite amazing that many of us perceived and expressed the same qualities without knowing of each others views on the amps. Best,iSanchez | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones If you stand in front of and away from the mirror a hundred times, you will start to see yourself differently.If you have to squint to hear a difference, then perhaps there is no difference. Try "Difference & Repetition" by Gilles Deleuze. It ... | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? Russ,I had the Remote Sense cables for a while. They were much better than the Nordost Red Dawn Rev II, and I'll put it against many cables costing twice as much. I agree with Rafael, they may not be in competition with the best cables out there. ... | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? Tedmbrady, I couldn't help to notice that you have the Modwright LS 36.5 dual mono 2-box preamp. I'm sure it sounds great in your setup. | |
| Question concerning the Mint Tractor In case anybody wonders how I got the offset number: I modeled a hypothetical tonearm of 240mm in effective length. I marked a point where the stylus meets the record with the VTA being horizontal to the record plane. Another plane was added,... | |
| Question concerning the Mint Tractor When using arc tractor, ideally the VTA should be set up exactly as you have it set up with your favorite record. Any discrepancy will add some level of distortion. This is illustrated in the link below. http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs.pl?vdon... |
