| Fuses that matter. Ccstevenson, I use both Nano Liquid and Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuses. I find the only difference between them is the Nano Liquid fuse adds a nice bloom to the sound that sometimes is desireable. | |
| HiDiamond Digital IC Sabai, to celebrate my country's birthday, I wore my Nike shoelaces in a SERIES, 1 red, 1 white and 1 blue. I had to play around the different combinations of material in each one to dampen the shock on my joints ... solid core, twisted pair, cott... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? 07-17-12: French_friesi can understand producing a new top-line preamp as a match for the newest amplifiers (cost no object). HOWEVER, i cannot understand with all the latest technological advances why you would need THREE boxes for TWO channels.t... | |

| The Problem with Synergistic Research Sabai, You've gotta be kidding me. Nasaman buys a 6+ years old IC off Ebay with UNDOCUMENTED number of owners, history, traveled the world several times and probably the IC you used in a SERIES with your bungee cord and jump rope and you want it r... | |
| Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2 Evilteddie, I've used my MW Transporter as a transport with several tube and SS DACs in the past and it works fine. In all situations, I prefer the AES/EBU over RCA or bnc connections. Good Luck! | |
