| Question about suitable fuse metals I've been using the copper slug in a Red Dragon S-500 and a titanium slug in a Bel Canto DAC 2.8 for 4 days now, perhaps up to 6 hrs per day and the sound has really transformed. Initially, the sound with the slugs in place of the stock fuses was... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals tksteingraber: Happy to be a fellow sluggo, thank you very much! Any chance you've heard slugs of any other material than copper? I was also considering chemically pure tungsten from McMaster Carr. I recall Bogdan Audio's Toto interconnect wa... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals jasonbourne71: I'll look into silver slugs. Not too sure I want to splurge for a solid silver rod but I'll look into it. And the titanium actually sounds quite good. The subtle inner detail is easier to follow without any brightness. I know y... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals fpomposo: Yeah, I may go that route eventually, try one and compare to the slugs I have on hand currently. If the SR fuse isn't better than the slug(s), I could always turn around and re-sell. Thanks. jhnnrrs: Why the venom? And would you... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals I bought 6" x 3/16" copper and titanium rods and had the local cnc shop cut them to 20mm lengths. And since I've only blown a couple fuses in 30+ yrs and have everything plugged into a Equi-core 1800, I'm really not all concerned. | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals imhififan: I don't own a non-contact digital infrared laser thermometer gun but I have a construction buddy and will check with him. That's good advice.. Thank you. | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals I'm aware that bypassing the fuse could be asking for trouble and I'm willing to take that risk. In the last 30+ yrs of being an audiophile, I've blown only a couple fuses and those were in Chinese made tubed equipment (not a knock against Chi-Fi... | |
| DH Labs power cables blisshifi: regarding the Corona Cryo vs standard Corona, are there more differences than the plugs and the cryo treatment? Can the standard cable be cryo treated to improve the sound? Thanks! | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? I recently did some experimenting on this exact topic. I have some very good DIY cable, solid core copper with silver plating, and have used it throughout my system. I had been using it as the power cord to my Bel Canto CDT-3 transport with the ... | |
| RCA splitter I know this example is not the same, but I think it has some applicability here. I was using a pair of Cardas RCA to XLR adaptors on a pair of unbalanced interconnects where the source had xlr outputs and the amp only had rca inputs. Eventually,... | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable I haven't heard any of the 3 cables indicated but I do have a fair amount of experience with Oyaide plugs, AC and XLR, and their outlets. If you're using stock cords, I can't imagine the Tunami wouldn't be a significant step up. They are quite a... | |
| Upgrade from an Audio Alchemy DDP 1 + PS 5 power supply? The T+A 200 looks quite impressive but $7000 is way out of my budget. If you get one, Patrick, please let me know how it compares to the AA DDP 1. Thanks | |
| Upgrade from an Audio Alchemy DDP 1 + PS 5 power supply? I purchased an upgraded umbilical from Revelation Audio Labs at the time I bought the Audio Alchemy duo and that was a pretty big improvement. A Neotech NEVD 2001 with an Oyaide BNC and Xhadow RCA digital cable was a significant step up from my p... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp The JAS Array is a 45w SET that can be ran as an integrated with 4 inputs and a passive preamp section or, with the flick of a switch, can be ran as a stereo amplifier using your choice of separate preamps. With premium tubes, it's one of the bes... | |
| Digital XLO signature RCA cable : Changing one end to BNC If XLO is out of business, then you could have either Partsconnexion or Take 5 Audio in Canada do the retermination. Cullen cables also does reterms if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself (I'm not and have had both Canadian companies cable o... |
