Evaluating Equipment-induced EMI noise in one’s audio system
@venpick said: Well I wished I would have searched here first. I just learned this same lesson. i found an EMI tester on ebay and thought it would be a great tool to own. Turns out i got exactly the same kind of results as you. Around 70mv nois... 
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
That's fine... Not hardly fair to Audioquest though...    
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
Bespoke means custom-made—made based on the specifications of the person ordering it @gavin1977 Said: Apologies, but I’m not sure telling everyone about my system is actually that relevant Bespoke... You don’t think that would have bee... 
How to Open the Sonus Faber Olympica IIIs (Please Help)
@dnn You have a Sonus Faber Dealer in your town. Scott Walker Audio If it were me I would drive to the store and ask a sales rep. Somebody in the store should be able to help you. It might be something simple... You don’t have to take a speake... 
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
I also don’t think that breaking these cables in will completely eliminate this brightness. Agree. It would be nice to know what AQ silver IC cables the OP bought. It would also be nice to know what his front end, source, equipment he is using... 
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
@gavin1977 Said: Good idea! Bad idea! A fuse is stupid. It does not have the ability to distinguish treble frequencies from bass frequencies. It’s just AC Line current to a fuse... As for using a slug... If the diameter of the slug is larger... 
Regarding Quoting someone on the forums
Sorry, but i have to say it: This forum has THE most idiotic format for quoting the text of members and then, however haphazardly, reply to them. Forgot to mention... If you want to leave a response after the quoted material before you click on...

Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
I’ve recently switched over to Audioquest silver interconnects and speaker cables, How many hours do you have on them? Actual time with signal passing through them? The cables need to break in. Not only the conductor, wire, but also the dielect... 
Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder
Hey, maybe this place will turn into Audio Science Review (ASR). Wouldn't that be fun? Fun? NO! I like this mission statement: The Cable Asylum is for those who have decided that audio cables make a sonic difference. If you do not feel th... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
Just looked up the Amp, it’s a 150w class A/B made in France, after reading the manual, it states max power consumption is 185w, so it is a very efficient amp, almost class D like. Very efficient? That’s more than just very efficient. The amp ... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
Nothing is written on the back (just 120v), but I agree with you about listenenig volume Is that all you are interested in, just the VA (watts) rating needed for the transformer for the amplifier to play Elevator music? Or are you interested i... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
I don’t know, if the socket is 1800W it doesn’t mean that the amplifier will take whole 1800W, right? The amp will only draw what it is designed to draw... And it will not draw anywhere near 1800W under its’ designed normal use. Now in a HOT to... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
The ACUPWR ADICH14-750 will operate at 120-percent beyond its stated wattage IF NECESSARY, such as in the event of a power surge or inrush voltage. In such an instance, It’s nice to know that that wattage “cushion” is there. I don't know who wa... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
Be careful buying voltage converters. Read the fine print. Many of them use aluminum wire for the windings.   Here’s a good solid step down auto transformer. Uses copper wire for the winding. 750VA should supply all the dynamic head room availa...
