| Audiophile Fuses 08-17-15: Jea48Knghifi,Are the "SR Red, HiFi-Tuning Supreme, Audio Magic" fuses safety tested and Listed by any independent recognized testing laboratory?Sorry Jea48 I don't know. Fuses are not too complicated so just upgrading material SHOULD imp... | |
| Audiophile Fuses 08-17-15: Jea48I had the original OEM fuse in my ARC VT50 power amp for about 17 years and up until then it never blew. That is until a 6550 power tube shorted and luckily the fuse saved the day. After re-tubing the amp I installed another OEM fus... | |
| Audiophile Fuses 08-16-15: Bdp24You may want to read what Roger Modjeski (Music Reference) found when he opened some of the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses. He posted his findings on the Music Reference AudioCircle Forum.Your hero got booted off AC forum a while ago.I've been ... | |
| Simaudio versus Accuphase? If considering Accuphase, I would also check out Luxman especially in Japan. | |
| Ground 'box' what's in them? 08-10-15: PsagLooks like a worthwhile article. But it can't really be used to judge the value of ground boxes. To do would be analogous to judging an amplifier based solely on its specs.If one has a high resolution system, any change is easily aud... | |
| How well respected our EAR products EAR makes excellent gear if looking for a neutral and transparent sound. Only trouble I had was an 890 amp fuse blew that took out the fuse holder. Dealer was long gone and US importer wasn't much help so I ended up repairing it myself.I no longer... | |
| High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience Are your Valhalla PCs the original series,Valhalla I ... so orig.What's interesting is I found a combination of Valhalla and Shunyata Sigma to sound the best vs a loom of one. | |
| High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience With all the buzz, bought 2 High Fidelity CT-1 PCs. Arrived last Thur and trying them in different locations. The other PCs are Shunyata Sigma and Nordost Valhalla. I'll post my thoughts after more hours with them. | |
| Tom Cruise 08-10-15: SchubertTrue, Knghifi, but there are countries where it is not the case.And the USA makes the biggest noise about truth and justice etc .Where? Your beloved Germany? Heaven? | |
| Tom Cruise 08-10-15: SchubertTo say Justice in US is two-tiered is too big an understatement .Its more like two-planeted .But rich do never commit serious crime, at least if you go by the number executed since 1640, zero .That's life in the BIG city NOT isol... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? That's very interesting, Carey1110.This clearly demonstrates buy what sounds best and not getting hung up tube vs SS. All amps sound different! | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question 07-29-15: Maril555Just take the amps the hell out from the rack and pur PS on the lowest shelf.+1Plus, I would try to avoid placing hot tube amps right under your other components.They (amps) belong on a separate stands, next to the speakers+1 | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE 07-27-15: BifwynneKnghifi ... that's a lot of scratch for tubes ... be it Upscale or ARC. Ironically, Upscale charges about $50+ for a KT-120. When time to retube, was planning SE upgrade but my mono already got some SE parts so will just buy the ... | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question 07-27-15: Maril555Alonski,I can save your time and effort- I've had that EXACT same problem, called Kevin, and that's what he advised me to do- move PS away from the control unit. By doing so, you will get rid of 90% of the hum. And that is THE ON... | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE 07-26-15: BifwynneKnghifi ... not really. The last couple of re-tubes came from ARC because the bias spread on power tubes sourced from a reputable tube vendor drifted too much. Btw, I may have overstated the times tube arcing has taken out bias r... |
