Whats my weak link?
B_Limo,What, i believe, John (Jmcgrogan) and I (and a lot of others) are trying to tell you is this: "Stop what you're doing and start thinking about the big picture!".Forget about your room, as important as it is, for right now and think about yo... 
Whats my weak link?
B_Limo,Just asking, what are you doing?On March 1 you buy Vandys. Four days later you buy KEFs.So what are you doing? More importantly, where do you want to go and how much money do you have available to try to get there? Honestly, it sounds like ... 
Fuses that matter.
Orelayer,Let them run in through this weekend. If you still don't like them in your BelCanto's on Monday, reverse their direction. If you still don't like them, take them out. You're only out $40.00-$50.00 and you can sell them here on Audiogon. I... 
Fuses that matter.
Orelayer, On your BelCanto monos, did you give them time to burn-in? Also, after they burned in, did you try reversing the fuses to hear the differences?Chuck 
Krell FPB vs Plinius SA-103 vs Pass Labs XA60.5
I know that you didn't ask about any other amps, so just disregard this if you want.I tried to find a replacement for my Spectron Musician III Mk2 in the Pass XA30.5. Although I loved the bloom of the XA30.5, it didn't work out for two reasons:1. ... 
Krell FPB vs Plinius SA-103 vs Pass Labs XA60.5
SolentGreen,You have ( or had ) a Krell FBP300c that put out 300 wpc @ 8 ohms. You say that it got congested on complex passages. The VR-33s are rated at 90DB sensitivity. If it was because it ran out of headroom, you need to know that.The XA60.5 ... 
How important is the transport when using a DAC?
I guess that all depends on what and where you want to take your system.This has been discussed many, many times here, and the answer is always that the transport makes a big difference.What that means to you, you'll have to decide.Chuck 
Fuses that matter.
Russ,I'm afraid that you're preaching here to 12 pages of responses from people who hear a difference in having upgraded power cords and fuses. I have a feeling that we hear what you're saying but we don't happen to agree with it.Chuck 
THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT.

WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips
Gbmcleod,I hold the fuse chips in place with just enough cellophane tape to wrap around the fuse once.Chuck 
Torn between two IC's... Please help...
Leo,It sounds like you haven't even heard the Morrow MA-4 interconnects, so if that's the case, why are you torn between them and the Goertz?There's a used set of 1/2 meter MA-4 interconnects on the Morrow website for $223.30 right now. Why don't ... 
Fuses that matter.
Lacee and Zephyr24069,Yes, the AMR fuse is directional, just as the Synergistic Research and HiFi-Tuning Supreme fuses are.I just read your post and I'm at work, but I think that it and the other two brands go the other way.Tbg, in his fuse review... 
Review: Wadia S7i ( an extreme upgrade ) CD Player
Alfa100,I think that the XA 100.5 would have been the correct choice, but my room is only 10' x 12' 6". Since the XA 30.5's heat made me really uncomfortable, I couldn't imagine how much I'd be sweating and irritated with a pair of XA 100.5 amps.B... 
MIT MH 750 Bi-Wire vs the AudioQuest Rocket 88
Whenever you switch out cables, it takes a while for them to settle in. It's not breaking in like a new cable, but it's settling in. Give it a day or two.Don't strain to try to hear a difference, just relax and listen. This really hit me when I co... 
MIT MH 750 Bi-Wire vs the AudioQuest Rocket 88
How did you A-B them? Put in a set and and use them for a week or two. Put in the other set and use them for a week or two. Put the first set back in and give them enough time to settle in. Do you feel like you're missing something that Set B had,...
