| Balanced vs standard power Dan-ed - All connections back to and inside the incoming ac panel have been verified for tightness? Wire routing is according to hoyle, etc.? I suspect that you have checked all the basics but, just in case. The weirdest hum issue I've had (2 arca... | |
| Balanced vs standard power Ngjockey - Thanks for the response. I understand that the sola is not just a transformer:). I'm curious about how incoming line harmonics would compare between a system with electronic tap switchers vs a sola system, maybe not an issue unless th... | |
| Balanced vs standard power Ngjockey - Am assuming you are referring to mechanical noise / 60 hz hum, which is a good point regardless of vendor choice. I.E. something to look out for. I'm not sure why you think an oversized sola ('oversized' per other posts) would not provi... | |
| Balanced vs standard power This is what I'd look at http://www.solahevidutysales.com/cvs_hardwired_series_power_conditioner.htm for what it is worth. They've been around quite a while, work fine and last a long time. | |
| Upgrading Fuses Milpai - "My point was related to "generalization" that you make regarding the fuses or other upgrades. "In my opinion, you can't generalize fuses with ic' or power cables or tubes or room acoustics upgrades or magic rocks or etc.. I think you hav... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Oh well.Milpai - What exactly is your point, how does it relate to fuses or to anything I've written and no I'm not inclined to write about my system (but you can probably figure most of it out from other threads if it is important to you). | |
| Upgrading Fuses Lacee - I'm in the camp that gives up after 3 pages of the same arguments.Happy listening! | |
| Upgrading Fuses Sebrof - "To me, this is the crux of the debate. When someone's limit is above or below their own some people simply cannot deal with that."Good point. | |
| Upgrading Fuses Milpai - "snake oil in high end audio, it does not apply to all the products." No argument here. "So you guys totally assume things?" When it comes to what we regard as snake oil one side assumes away science and the other side assumes away the be... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "It's only been in the last few years, since the same Peter Aczel made his infamous audio myths, that a new breed of audiophile has emerged on the horizon."Lacee - I think the thing is that we've always been around, the proof of that is probably t... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Double extra super special attaboy amen Metro4 !!! | |
| Upgrading Fuses "ever tried the tweak which I believe involves placing a nickel, dime, and a quarter (I think this is the right combo) on top of your speakers?"There's been a lot written about this one, it is usually now referred to as the crossover tweak if memo... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "I can't wait to hear your reaction to these products. "How do they sound:). | |
| Upgrading Fuses Nonoise - Thanks for the link. For what it is worth I'd write the Cliff notes version as 'our tests show that we have lower resistance and less vibration and we think this makes our fuses sound better'. Metro4 / Vhiner - Please keep up the good wo... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Folks.Think it is time for me to quit on this thread whatever else I would have said is already in the article:) (although if anybody posts info that would allow me to trace down fuse manufacturer info that is still of interest).Happy listening! |
