Need "warm" interconnects advice
Here's a few tips before going nuts trying to find the perfect cables.make sure everything in your system and room treatment and speaker placement has been optimised.Get all the basic stuff right first.People spend a lot of money and time bouncing... 
Furman Reference IT 15i power conditioner
I installed the Shunyata RZ71 outlet in place of one of the generic Furman outlets and that made an improvement.I believe the stock(cheap) outlets on the Furman 15 are compromising it.Also, upgrading the male power connector with something better ... 
Acoustat 2+2...Any users?
I've got the Three panel model X with the servo tube amps, modded and upgraded(lots of Furutech parts)I also like the sound of a passive pre amp, in my case, the LightSpeed Attenuator.I have other friends who use tube pre amps and their sound is n... 
LS3/5A vs Tannoy
Back in the late 70's I had the 15 ohm Rogers LS3/5a, with Dynaco tubes and solid state from Yamaha and Nad 3020.The sound was very nice and very polite in the small room they were in.Later they fell apart when placed in a larger room.The detail a... 
upgraded fuse holder
Thanks,Rodman,until something better comes along I'll have to go with the stock ones and just keep them clean. 
upgraded fuse holder
Nothing there that fits what I'm looking for,but thank you. 
upgraded fuse holder
Thanks,I've seen some modern amps with modern fuse holders where the ends are encased in a plastic type enclosure.I'll check out Acme. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Please do try the LSA with your phono stage.I run my Steelhead volume full out and the LSA under 12 with very good results.In my system, the Terra dak with upgraded power cords in conjunction with dedicated lines is an improvement over the stock L... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
No problems with my Acoustats,the ones with the servo charge tube amps. 
Fuses that matter.
Over a year now and no problems with the HiFi Supremes in the servo amps. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Never had any problems attaching the two with what came from TeraDak.Perhaps you should contact them for the answer,and enlighten others who may want to purchase the "newer"units if in fact they have made a switch.Perhaps they are offering an alte... 
why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't?
Good news and good luck with the cake.It's always great when things go the way you think they should.We should now be able to forget about HiFi fuses being inferior to stock fuse at least for protection.The next hurdle to jump is to somehow provin... 
why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't?
I have Acoustat tube servo amps with lethal voltages,made in the 1970's but modiffied.There are 4 tubes in each amp,sourced from television technology because of the demands made on such a circuit.The amps also are the source of power to charge th... 
Can Highend IC improve equipment downstream??
I have a decent set up.I accepted the reasoning that sourcing all interconnecting wires from the same "house" was a good idea.I also reasoned that cheap throw away cables had no place in systems from mid fi on up.Then I made some very unconvention... 
Frequencies addresses by power cords?
My take is that some power cords tend to deliver more lower frequencies than others,more bass sounding.Some power cords can roll off the top,while some seem to amplify it, and sound edgy.When I say the power cables sound bassy or edgy, I mean the ...
