| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: I've been meaning to do a write-up on all the slugs I have on hand but just haven't had the time or energy to really get into it yet. At the moment, I have copper, silver, titanium, tungsten, and molybdenum. I recently found that... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging hickamore: check hifishark. There's a pair for $2500 now and, if you look under SOLD section, you'll see a good deal many have sold in the $2000 range or less, and I've bought many pairs of older speakers without crossover issues. I'm sure it's... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging You might find a pair of Legacy Focus in that price range. I have a pair of DIY speakers of a similar size and design and they filled a 24' x 28' room spectacularly. They are also quite efficient so you could bi-amp with tubes on top if that's y... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used I had the AZ MC2 and it was a completely adequate digital cable, but I tried a Neotech NEVD 2001 so I could use BNC at the transport end and found it bettered the AZ in just about every way by a slim but noticeable margin. Of course, the Neotech ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please rx8man: This sounds very promising. How does it compare to the titanium on inner detail and image placement? And did you try pure silver? I'm supposed to be getting the tungsten and molybdenum slugs tomorrow. I'm going to end up with a nice b... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? bigtwin: you're absolutely right. It made perfect sense to me at 2am last night but that would be with a signal passing cable and that's not what was being discussed. Mea Culpa! | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? from tennisdoc56: By what method/electrical theory does a power cord improve the contractor grade romex in your walls? Please avoid explanations in biology such as sees, senses, feels, prefers. Not being sarcastic I googled the following... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? My first "audiophile" power cords were Kimber Kords, the early ones with the plastic sheathing. These were a minimal step up from the stock cords but, of course, my system was FAR less revealing then so it's hard to tell just what they did to the... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: so, to use the SFB, you need an extra power cord? Do you think this could be causing the slight reduction in fidelity or the box itself? Will you be trying the rhodium sluggo when available? With the holiday causing a back up i... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: I biamp my speakers as well but haven't installed a slug in the bass amp (D-Sonic) as I've had it go into protection mode a few times without really being pushed so not sure what's going on but don't want to take a chance. What ar... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please lemonhaze: Did you try any other slugs than the copper? In my experience, copper is, by far, the least impressive. The silver was quite an improvement in pretty much every way I find important, and titanium was quite a bit ahead of the silver i... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please larryi: I'm not much of a DIYer but I think you have a good idea. May I send you a slug of a TBD material and you can try this for yourself? I would be quite interested in your findings | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tweak1: contact Golden State Silver and they will cut them to length for you. I actually told them I might be steering some business their way for this purpose. They sell on ebay and had a listing just for 2 of the slug precut and it was less t... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: I'm delighted to hear that! Yeah, for me, the silver has been a very large improvement over the copper slugs and they actually sound kinda warm in my system. Maybe that's just compared to the titaniums although I wouldn't call th... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I just placed an order for both tungsten and molybdenum rod of 99.95% purity. I should be getting those late next week and then probably will have them cut to size by the first of the following week. Hopefully, I can have a reasonably thorough r... |
