| Is there a list of cartridge capacitance? Thanks Ncarv, that's a very useful site, unfortunately, no info on my cartridge. | |
| Fuses that matter. I once replaced a stock 15 amp fuse with an Iso Clean 15 A in a Foundation Research power cord/conditioner and noticed an improvement.Will there be a new even better fuse on the horizon? I would think there will be,that's the way of all things in ... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? After reading the last few posts I am pleased that for the most part,there is an agreement that the qulaity of your sound can be improved if you do something to improve your power.I see there are still a few satisfied with the way it sounds audiop... | |
| BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q? I have been an advocate for tweeking the power for a few years and until you do, you aren't getting the sound out of the gear you paid the big(or bargain)bucks for.Lots of folks throw money around on endless amp or speaker swaps looking for the "B... | |
| Fuses that matter. I never was one to seek out scientific proof about how any piece of my gear sounds.I either like it or I don't.It's an improvement or it's not and I won't try and tell anyone it's 2% or 20% or 200% better.Night and day differences for me have all ... | |
| Upgrading Fuses I can tell you from painful expereience that the HiFi Supreme fuses will blow if you place a .5 amp fuse in a 5 amp slot.No fireworks, and no ill affects to the gear it was protecting.Words to the wise,never do a fuse swap in less than adequate li... | |
| Fuses that matter. I should add this bit of news,the HiFi Supreme fuses will do the job of protecting your gear and they can be destroyed just like any other fuse,I know this from painful experience.A 500 ma fuse will self destruct when inserted into a 5 amp holder.... | |
| Fuses that matter. Whether HiFi Supremes are better than the Iso Cleans,I can't say.I have no experience with any of the other HiFI fuses in the test and I have no expereince with the gear they were used in.I appreciate the effort and respect the findings.How could ... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Bryon, it only seems absurd to the folks who are content with the kind of sound they get with stock fuses, no power conditioning,dime store multi plug outlets and everything plugged into a one buck wall receptacle.They laugh at what we spend to im... | |
| Fuses that matter. Does anyone remember Peter Aczel, the Audio Critic?Way back in my audio salad days he said the fuses used to protect speakers were degrading the sound of the speakers.He never explained why or how just that they did.Most folks with Maggies like me... | |
| DIY power cord / cords - really good The first DIY or non stock power cord I made consisted of 12/2 romex, a cheap dime store male end and the stock iec from the crappy Quad 63 power cords.Quite the improvemnt.This led me to numerous experiments with different ends and wire configura... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? I can speak from experience about the effects of the quality of the power on the performance of your gear.Back in the late 1990's I moved into a brand new home, but in an older subdivision.I had Quad 63 and Meitner mono block power amps.During my ... | |
| To Power Down, or Not to Power Down I have 40 year old Acoustat servo tube amps that are constantly on, but the difference is that the tubes are in an idle state, not fully powered on.This saves the tubes from the surge most other tube amps have to endure.I don't see why this practi... | |
| How does an... I have had good results plugging my cd player into a Furman IT 15 amp balanced power conditioner, which is on a different line from my other components.My other components are on a dedicated line and I use upscale power cords and conditioners from... | |
| Upgrading Fuses How would that power cord sound now that you've got the fuse?This is the point that a lot of folks miss, and some of my friends fall into the category of folks who expect one upgrade to transform the entire system.Nite and day transformations seld... |
