| Question about suitable fuse metals verafiaudio: that's definitely something to consider although I'm really not wanting to spend the money on the system at the moment and why the $50 bucks spent on 14 slugs seems like such an insane bargain. I'll keep the SDFB in mind. Thank you... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals orthomead: I looked at the Swiss digital fuse box. It would be the best/wisest choice. Does it require a power cord to the unit and then another running from the fuse box to the component? | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals larryi : I'm certainly down with that possibility. How would I go about completely bypassing the fuse holder? wolf_garcia: I'm not selling anything here. I don't stand to gain by convincing you or anyone else that replacing the stock fuses... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals You guys act like audio equipment is this huge household fire risk, that it could go up at any time with disasterous results. I've not see it before nor since I gave up my tubed equipment. I'm not saying it's 100% safe but, what is? And I can r... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals Yes, the slugs were the cause of the very significant improvement in sound as that's the only variable that's changed and I've literally listened late at night THOUSANDS of times and I've not heard this precision of sound, in my systems, ever bef... | |
| 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,... |
