| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! My take on the defense industry as I have dealt with LM: they are used to getting $$$ from the government, are highly inefficient, bureaucratic,... Look at their latest "achievement": F22 way over budget, way over the deadlines. Now, what is your ... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Jet, I added one silver plated 7N copper to the positive. The mid shifted just a bit up and the bass was more extended so overall IME a net positive result.mitch2, thanks for the additional info. Indeed any reference to theater amps 300B and Altec... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Anyone tried to insert a silver strand in the IC or SC ? For fun and because all my systems are far from bright (tube mono blocks, NAD and Aragon amps), I added one 7N copper+pure silver 16ga in the signal path of an interconnect which is terminat... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables ozzy, here on the Gon there are three threads, one dedicated, that talks about the NOS Western Electric (I got the info here but it started earlier at Jeff Day’s blog). The WE it is/was available from 10ga to 22ga. I use 14 and 16ga for IC, 10ga f... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Not sure how to comment on your last entry stevecham:1. ) If I had not a limited budget, I would probably have selected something in the price range like SR Black. I have so I aim to increase the music listening experience in my HT, hence the emph... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables A/B’ed the GE IC vs my DIY Western Electric 16ga IC terminated with cheap Canare F10 RCA connectors (which IME bested some entry level IC like HD 2 and Audience AU24e) in my library setup: the GE IC sounded more open, about the same amount of deta... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @ romazicon: Another approach to get rid of the hum and getting great power conditioning is to have your electrician install a big isolation transformer (that can easily provide a much higher current than the Son of Q) between the AC panel and you... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) UL in the US (VDE in Germany is a very well respected organization) have drawn up standards for low-voltage fuses (e.g. UL Standard 248-x). Besides adhering to low variance in expected values like breaking range, arc time & temperature, cut-of... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Jeff, simply on Fleabay. I bought them first from Darren (AMR distributor) before but was pleased to find them this year elsewhere. As other mentioned, not great (compared to the current line up) but certainly better than stock. David, you may w... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Update: Reading up on comments on after market fuses, I have decided to try the following setup:Furutech for L, R, C channelN/C for other channelsAMR for the power supply boardAH Platinum for the main AC | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Great feedback, keep them flowing and thanks for the link jea48! Maybe i should spend more time at AA, people there seems pretty open minded. No snide comments, no declaration of insanity.Thanks auxinput for a great assessment of what would fit an... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Thanks, that is very promising news indeed! Now what did you replace the GE cord with? I am debating getting an HFC CT1-E power cord, another HiDiamond P4 (both of which you are very familiar with) or the GE HC that you just got. | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Al, have I fallen for a SR marketing trick? Their website states repetitively "... By applying a two million volt signal to a cable at a specific pulse modulation, and ultra high frequency for an exact duration of time, we transform the entire cab... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Thanks mapman and GK!Al, thanks for the info, I got most of the manuals there at hifiengine and in this case, got the service manual directly from a good source at NAD. I try to have service manuals / schematics of most of my gear, primarily to un... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) IMHO Ted at SR puts out a disclaimer and I think it is more likely that a manufacturer keeps the same process (why change?). AMR produced fuses en masse as did Isoclean and for the aforementioned brand, they are, so far, consistent IME (same as Hi... |
