| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread I have looked at these with great interest. However, a bit put off by needing the additional AC cable from the SDFB to the IEC. It's great to know that it is possible to hard wire it in. I understand the "safety" position as a manufacturer. There... | |

| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I did not experience a lack of PRAT. Morelike it was a lack of harmonic structures. Tubes typically add the odd order harmonics giving more of a sense of a wholeness to the musical presentation. The Tortuga did not present a full acoustical envelo... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Tweak1Could you please expound on your "opening statement" concerning the "lack of soul"?I didn't understand.Thanks | |

| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? I bought them, tried them and returned them. For me, and in my foom, they did not work well. I have not heard them in any other location so cannot comment on their performance there.Like all things in this hobby YMMV. | |

| Sota Sapphire what cables? Congrats on your new cables. Audio Sensibility has some of the best bang for the buck cables out there. And with the favorable exchange rate are an even better deal. | |
| Subwoofer Decision I had the 2WQ's and sold them, Replaced with a pair of Rythmik 12's.Tighter, lower and with more control. Also more flexible in set up. A pair is almost always better. | |
| Any dangers or concerns doing this? By repeatedly inserting and removing the cables you will be producing a great amount of wear and tear on both the male and female ends of this connection. At some point they will become loose and worn and would need to be replaced. Furthermore, du... | |

| Music reference/ audio research / vpi Congrats. Your RM with the 40's should be a stellar combo.I have had an Aesthetix Calypso and enjoyed it until a friend asked me if the residual noise from it bothered me? I didn't understand his question until he brought over his pre to replace i... |
