| Which power cord should you buy first @salc - as calvin and others have said, power conditioner first. But then followed by server/streamer, then pre, then dac and last, amplifier - seemingly counterintuitive, I know, but it’s all about the source, as evidenced by the biggest changes ... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. @rodman99999 ‘infinitely tuneable’ - +1 : ) | |
| Open baffle speakers @mijostyn - not with nearfield listening and if that OB works off a competently designed and built field coil driver. You’d have to actually hear one to understand what’s possible. I only need to cross my subs over at 50db - any more affects the ... | |
| Open baffle speakers An open baffle speaker with good field coil drivers sorts out typical issues with low frequency control. In my listening, the only traditionally boxed speakers able to eliminate cabinet colouration have been the massive kharma enigma veyrons and t... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it A couple of thoughts here, for whomever it may help - I find it best not to mix tracks from different services when building playlists on Roon. It gets quite wonky after a hundred or so tracks from say tidal and qobuz on the same playlist, but the... | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? I’ve found that the constant adjustment of volume is absolutely essential to my listening sessions, because every song and it’s delivery as a recorded track is different - some begin very softly to explode into incredibly loud and dynamic highs, o... | |

| Do your ears deceive you? @fleschler - and the greatest difficulty is attempting to gauge the difference of sound quality of a specific piece of equipment in a listening space that isn’t ours…. I’ve found it’s next to impossible to do that away from the specific familiarit... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @veerossi - the SDFB and its sluggos will make any traditional fuse, SR or otherwise, sound inconsequential in comparison. For you, I suspect they work best in the DAC/streamer and preamp. In friendship - kevin | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @dwcda - I believe you have misread that quoted statement entirely. No slip there and entirely in keeping with everything else I’ve said. Do not mistake the fuse box itself for what brings the sound quality gains - its only function is to protect ... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @dwcda - please forgive me, I misread your response, and conflated it with gto’s. Yes indeed, I thought it was clear that the sluggo is what is doing all the work - the fuse box itself merely serves as protection for the removed fuse, and is not t... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @dwcda @1971gto455ho Your combative horror of arrogant ignorance boggles the imagination. In retired comment - kevin | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @dwcda - the SDFB set up consists of the externalised digital fuse box, a pigtail power cord and a sluggo. The sluggo can be used to replace the fuse without concurrent use of the fuse box and pigtail, but this leaves the equipment in question unp... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @larryi - I’m not sure your question was answered, but I’ve found the greatest gains in their effect on the server and preamp, in equal proportion. Second would be the dac. Last would be the entire linear power supply chain for source equipment; m... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? @coralkong - simple for us, but not so for the many audiophiles who may have just started out with perhaps less developed listening ability - I was one once, you see. As with trained photographers, who observe and see with great skill, learning ho... |
