| Power Cord choices @vonhelmholtz : I listen to music - not AC cords! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : I joined Agon in 2016. No need to tell you that user name. I had 4000+ posts then! Then I got a new phone and couldn't get back on here with that first user name. So I became jasonbourne52. Then that phone died when I had 2863 posts. No... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Claiming to hear a difference between a plain slug and a polished slug is just nuts! Back in the days of yore there was a discussion in the letters section of TAS about the sonic merits of polishing the chrome blades on AC plugs. The more things c... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Considering the miles of very fine wire in power transformers and speaker voice coils I can't get worked up about that inch of fuse wire passing 120 AC volts! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : No, I was a math major in college. Though I have always been interested in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science. Plus I am an excellent draftsman! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : That's the fault of the Agon programming! It only allows one email per name. When I tried to use my other emails I always got stuck in a loop - "user name taken" and "email incorrect"! Back and forth! So now I sign in using Facebook. | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" If the SDFB is not patentable then it has been around awhile. Anybody here with an EE degree willing to discuss how it works? Or do I have to go over to the DIY forum? | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @carlsbad2 : Look up "scr crowbar circuit" on Google. I'm surprised you don't know about it! It does work instantaneously! I am curious what exactly is inside that $395 box? Micro processor Hall effect - yeah? If I had a peek I could copy it and ... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" All you youngsters that think the SDFB is the bee's knees you should try the Tice Clock! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" The height of audio foolery is polishing those copper, brass, silver ... slugs used to replace the AC line fuse and claiming to hear a sonic change! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" This device is only for the IEC/AC line fuse. It is NOT for the B+ DC rail fuse/fuses! Apparently some here don't know this! So even if the SDFB is installed your component will still have power supply fuses in place. | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Now where did I put that blue fuse? Or maybe it was the red fuse? | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Even considering the part count I doubt it sounds any different than a fuse. Spending money for a nicely encased circuit board with a catchy name sure stimulates confirmation bias! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" This thing is just an SCR crowbar! It is made of four parts: a silicon controlled rectifier (thyristor), a zener diode, a resistor and a capacitor. Cheap and easy to build! Put it in a fancy case and charge hundreds to unsuspecting audiofools! | |
