| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Pack, have you done the test with a HiFi Supreme or other esoteric fuse,or are you just relying on the accepted wisdom of those who also haven't tried it?I don't have any test gear,but it's very easy for my ears to hear differences in tone and tex... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I'm an old guy pushing 64.I've been at this hobby for over 40 years and I've seen the same comments made back in the day when people started to state that the standard 18-22 guage zip cord was all that was needed to wire up your speakers and the i... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? One has to have hands on experience before they can state what is fact what is fiction.You need to compare one to the other not speculate.You have to do the experiment.Until that is so,I say all is fiction, until proven as fact. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I would say that a cheap fuse,with it's paper thin glass envelope may be more prone to disaster after repeatedly removing it.I don't think it wise to infer that this practise is just as good as trying a new fuse.You know how some feeble minds can ... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? You can read up on all the physics you want and until you experience what a fuse upgrade can do, you are just book smart.Mumbo jumbo physics,which is limited to what can and cannot be measured and mumbo jumbo tweaks are no different.The followers ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks George,I am quite happy with the unit as is,maybe down the road I'll try the new RCA, so that all contacts are rhodium to rhodium,just the OCD part of my brain talking out loud.The tips about what to do are most appreciated by me and anyone... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Replacing the RCA with the same ones as my amp is a move I might make,but I am hesitant as I haven't had the LSA for a year yet.If something goes south that's not related to the RCA mod,would I still be covered or would I be on my own?Nothing hold... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? This is a strange hobby, and the hobbyists are a strange breed.Some folks are content to listen to their music collection and not worry themselves if a power cord or a PSU will make an improvement to what they have.They are the ultimate music love... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I can't recall if I said this or not, but the LSA with the TeraDak is like it's been given steroids.It's performance is enhanced,it's not about noise,I never noticed any noise from the LSA before.It is about increased sound and clarity however,and... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Maybe I missed it,but what are the sonic differences when one goes from an SMP to a linear wallwart?If my wallwart was an SMP,and if most of the other North American wallwarts are SMP,then it's a no brainer to go for the TeraDak, because the impro... | |
| Hydra 8 after Equitech 2q I was running both my amps on one of the dedicated lines and my front end gear on the other.I was running the amp line into a Furutech GTX D R-then to a Hydra 8 with an Annaconda 20 amp power cord then 2 Annaconda power cords out of the Hydra and ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks for the tips George, but with the TeraDak my wallwart days are over.I don't care if my wallwart was linear or smp,What this does is amazing.You need to try one.It cost me $60.00 Canadian, so yes I am from the Northern half of North America.... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I've only listened for about 45mins,and just to my vinyl, but here are my intial impressions-More slam,more dynamic, increased bass,increased treble(some sybilance on Graceland I never heard before),a no brainer for the money investment.Perhaps th... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I got my TeraDak just a few minutes ago.No special surprise footers, but the cord they sent to attach to the LSA looks very nice in a retro toatser cord type covering.I'll probably get a lot of guffaws over this next revelation, but the power cord... | |
| Hydra 8 after Equitech 2q I used to run a Furman IT 1220, (balanced power similar to EqiTech) then a Hydra 2, then power amps,but never tried putting the Hydra in front of the Furman.In my mind it seemed more correct to balance the power and then filter it.Also,the Furman ... |
