| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES Solentgreen, I find Mullard GZ32 'overly-sweet' sounding in my MW Transporter. I'm rolling NOS Tung-sol 5u4gb and I think it will work for you.I know several also find gz34 and EML 5U4G too sweet and highly recommends JJ 5u4gb. I haven't rolled bu... | |
| Pass Labs XP 30 VS Ayre KXR Pre No definitive winner, it depends on your system and priorities. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? I agree with Sebrof, you can sell anything at the right price. | |
| Fuses that matter. 2. A fuse that sounds bad is probably defective and should be replacedI've had ~40+ Sovtek / EH 6922s over the years and always sound bad compared to the Tele, Siemen, Amperex ... so I guess they were all probably DEFECTIVE. Also all my stock PCs ... | |
| Fuses that matter. But that does not mean that parts which measure different in some respect will necessarily sound different, which was my initial point. As I said, it depends on the amount of the difference, and on the design of the component in which the part is ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Every electrical part in every component has specified and/or measurable ranges of variation ("tolerances") for numerous electrical parameters, and measurable differences will exist even between two parts of the same type that were manufactured at... | |
| Fuses that matter. Every electrical part in every component has specified and/or measurable ranges of variation ("tolerances")Why raise the point in the article if the measurements are less than tolerance level? | |
| Fuses that matter. In MF Shunyata Triton review, Caelin Gabriel invented the DTCD Analyzer that can measure anything that conducts current. He found even fuses measure differently. So theoretically fuses should sound differently in a component but like everything el... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't read this thread consistently ... Strange, yesterday I was just thinking haven't seen any post from Pubul57 lately.My sincere sympathy to Paul's family and friends. I will miss our discussions and his sense of humor. Rest in peace Paul. | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? Musicallyinclined, I'm aware of the threads and NOT in the market for cables.With ASI Liveline PCs in my system, I found missing frequencies so it's impossible to properly evaluate ICs and SCs. I'm just curious with the results when Sabai replaces... | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? 04-29-12: SabaiVicks7,I have had ASI Liveline speaker cables, ICs and power cords -- the latter throughout my system. I have really enjoyed having the ASIs. They are great cables. I have yet to try HiDiamond power cords but I can say that HiDiamon... | |
| Fuses that matter. If one spents thousands on a system, spending an extra $50 for a fuse is good ROI IMO. Worst case scenerio is out $50. | |
| Fuses that matter. 04-27-12: TbgThey had at least a hundred hours on them.Nothing beats testing in your own system. | |
| Fuses that matter. 04-26-12: TbgKnghifi, I did try them. I found them smeared and midrange oriented.It sounds like the fuse is not broken in. When new, it sounds too sweet with emphasis in the mid but never smeared in my system. It takes 100+ hours for a fully break... | |
| Fuses that matter. From my experience, direction does matter but no idea why.Check out Audio Magic fuses. They replaced all my HiFi Tuning gold and supreme fuses ... better tone, bloom ... |
