| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? More bad language skills.I meant to say"those Familiar with how important the chain is from the panel to the speakers"I should use the preview option I "s'pose." | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Thanks for the response Gvasale,as I mentioned,some things are easier to mod than others, and what we have to accept is never the ultimate.This could be gear related room related, power related and most importantly cash related.We do what we do an... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Gvsale,is your gear so perfect that it cannot be improved?You fear your "stuff would suffer greatly from such changes".You are 100% certain of that?You are throwing a lot of stuff out there such as "how much more overcapacity might one need for so... | |
| Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets I replaced all my connections with Furutech rhodium because I use 1970 era tubed amplifiers.So that was replacing the IEC at the amps, the RCA at the amps, the RCA ends at the interconnect, and the ends of the dedicated power lines going into the ... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Absolutely correct Rodman,a lot of the old transformers were quite special,and some aren't made anymore so finding replacements is hard to do.As Rodmann stated just about anyone can change a captive power cord in a component.Usually the hardest pa... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Expensive aftermarket power cords are seldom offered as part of the deal when purchasing a quality product simply because it comes down to a matter of taste and how one's system is already "voiced".If you have a systen that tends to be warm or rom... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Inasmuch as those same AR speakers would be bested by most entry level sub $500.00 speakers of today, I am not sure folks would be as fooled as they were back in the old days.That's a little like saying those same folks who viewed a 1950's TV woul... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords Kiddman, we do what we can.Some of us probably have the skills and resources to do just what you refer to.Whether they will or will not have the effects you speculate about remains to be proven, but only when someone actually does the heavey lifti... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? You may hear similarities in speakers, a house sound from Magnepan, and while all the Maggies strive for 100% accuracy,you can still hear that they all perform differently.Striving for 100% by measurements, doesn't mean the same sound.You can get ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? And DBX was the best there was in the 80's,until you bought one and couldn't stand to listen to the music any morebecause of all the pumping noise issues.If you try an LSA in a system that is devoid of shapeshifting devices and listen to a high re... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? GVasale,have you never read about how the sound is so much better in the wee hours of the morning when there is less demand on the grid?If not, then here is a very simple and cost free experiment for you to try.If you are allowed,stay up and liste... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Blowing both "upgraded"fuses sets off some red flags for me.First,were they the correct ratings for your amp?Sounds silly, but I confess to mixing up the spots where the 5 amp fuse was with the .5 fuse.Of course the .5 amp fuses blew.That's been t... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Of course one has to decide on whatever choices one makes.You decide whether anything is worth trying,and hopefully you try before you buy.But if you've already made up your mind and refuse to try something just because you know there can be no di... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords The quality and unfortunately, that's related to cost, of the connectors can have an impact on the power cord.Just switching the ends made a difference in the sound of the wires.So does eliminating as many connections as you can.I've simplified th... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? The story of the Pied Piper,who is the High End esoteric charlatans of today I presume?Here's how I could spin that tale.You take someone who has demonstrated that they have a sound scientific background and lead all the gullible audio children do... |
