| Upgrading Fuses "The more resolving a system , the more likely a difference will be heard . "This is one of the things that drives me crazy about audiophiles. Good design means resolving on the output side (where resolving is a good thing) and filtered on the pow... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Does audiogon charge for plugging products and writing in marketing adds in the guise of a thread, or is it just sort of a fringe benefit? The Easter Bunny is curious about this one. Santa is trying to figure out if cryo'd snake oil is still the s... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? " those who doubt the whole cryo thing never are the ones to provide measureable data."Makes perfect sense to me and Santa and the Easter Bunny! It really bugs us when people say at least one of us isn't real, show us the proof!! | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? "Frozen waffles are not as good as fresh"Evidently they would sound better on your turntable though. Makes sense when you think about how the stylus would dig in to the soft dough and stuff. | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? "So cryo'd bed springs would be more reactive and be stronger than their untreated counterparts?" --- Frank was ahead of his time and certainly out there so he probably had his treated {circa 1972} "Hmmm, perhaps this was key to the Dynamo Humm? | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? "I have trouble with the concept of a single process that improves all known materials."And yet you still call yourself an audiophile. Perhaps if you understood that the process was developed & confirmed for all things audio by the combined ef... | |
| Best integrated for $500? Asking your question on this forum is sort of like asking a fashion designer forum who makes the strongest shoe strings. I think you need to look (listen) hard at your local brick and mortar electronics store and you may be pleasantly surprised by... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... If all amps don't sound the same now, when will they?I.E., board level components are cheap, excellent designs have been in existence for more than 50 years, even the more showy items such as heavy metal structure & etc. become a minute contri... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... If the history I've read is correct, the big magazines refused blind testing after one of them tried it on a range of amps and found that they couldn't reliably tell the expensive ones from the cheap ones. That's not the same thing as saying they ... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? Opening song at a concert last month.It suddenly became clear that the sound reproduction was going to be awful, the opening act was nothing to write home about, the line to get beer was long and arduous, the large proportioned person in front of ... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Nonoise - A quick search for something like "fuse construction" will show you that ceramic mass production fuses are very common, use of silver in fuses is not particularly uncommon, the value of cryo treatment and the validity of testimonials are... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "All advice appreciated." I think they are selling mass production fuses with gold(ish) plating on the ends & some fancy decals and packaging. That said, if you can just buy one fairly cheap & see if you think it makes a difference, what t... | |
| Do you buy new equipment because you are bored The bad part about being happy with your system is that you lose the entertainment of the hunt. It is a mental issue.I don't mess with stereo components out of boredom, to me there is no reward for trying to fix what isn't broken, but that energy ... | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? If you get the BAT be aware that you can't always believe what you read, the older units can not be upgraded to be the same as the newer units (different mother board). I've got an older VK P-10 that I'm happy with, except that occasional channel ... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "Let me ask you this then: What sort of proof was necessary to convince you the world isn't flat??"To prove it wasn't round I'd want science and data:), I've never believed that it was flat so I'd be speculating on an answer to that one. People (a... |
