| 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! | |
| Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player Another wonderful product from Synergistic Research! | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! Freddy Hubbard's First Light on a 1971 CTI LP bought from an eBay seller for $8 + $4.35 shipping last week! I will cherish this more than any new made-from-a-digital file 180 gram reissue! | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Going through my record collection this Sunday morning I came across a nice pristine 1967 Capitol pressing of Magical Mystery Tour - with the invoice from the eBay seller I bought it from: $18..50 + $4.00 shipping. This was about five years ago so... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I watched that show with my parents on a black&white TV. My mother made loud disparaging remarks about the Beatles hair styles. My father mostly remained quiet. Ed Sullivan on Sunday nights was must-see TV for my parents. | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I too was 12 when I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. It is astounding to think that show was the start of a new epoch in Rock! I agree with you that Abbey Road was their creative peak. | |
| Turntable recommendation For a budget of $1K the Pioneer PLX1000 ($699) with the Schiit Mani ($160) plus Grado Prestige ($90) and AT record weight ($38) comes in under the wire! Check out the review of the PLX1000 by Herb Reichert a few years back in the Stereophile archi... | |
| Turntable recommendation One more thing - get a record weight to be placed atop an LP during play. This will couple the LP to the turntable mat quite effectively! Nothing fancy required. AT makes a good one. |
