| Rhodium plated audio grade wall socket Personally I’d stay away from those ugly, stupid UK wall sockets and plugs. Use USA plugs and sockets, it’s ok to do as long as your wall sockets are protected properly and I guess the UK being what it is you would need the installation properly ... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse Got 24hrs on my SR Master Fuse and I can say it's worth every penny. Now I have a full loom of SR Purple and the Master Fuse takes them to another level. 3D soundstage has really expanded, deep level details details are brought to the surface, w... | |
| AudioQuest vs Cardas XLR Yes, I agree that consumers should be well informed as to the origins of the products they are purchasing. Taiwan is not China BTW and it's probably the largest microchip manufacturer in the World. This industry relies heavily on clean rooms and ... | |
| WireWorld Chroma ethernet cable I'd go for the Starlight 8, the red one. It's truly an excellent cable and although more expensive it'll give you at least 80% SQ of the Platinum 8. | |
| AudioQuest vs Cardas XLR My 3, 2nd gen AQ Dragon PCs, soon to be 4 were made in Taiwan and I have no desire to justify the best PCs in the World. Maybe they could be tied or close to Hijri Combak cables from Japan, but I've never heard those. The current Cardas top end ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @ajessner Hi, Fast Blow (F) Fuses are usually used for Power Amps and Slow Blow (T) are used for just about everything else. Take your fuse out and have a look, it's located just below the power cable inlet. It'll be 20mm long but there are 38mm... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse @rc22 You're most welcome. I'd be inclined to put the Master Fuse in your Power Conditioner, if you can and put a Purple in the Lyngdorf. Good Luck | |
| Heading to London - Hifi Store/Record Shop Recommendations? +1 Portobello Road market which is open on Saturdays, lots there plus records. UK HIFI is 240V plus 20% VAT is levied on virtually everything except used goods. Recent changes have abolished the tax-free tourist scheme. I'd think about taking i... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse @rc22 You can see the fuse in your Lyngdorf in the pic. top left. It’s T8A which is 8 amp slow blow, looks to be 5x20mm, but I’d take it out and check to be sure. SR recommends going up one level so you should replace it with a T10A fuse. Your po... | |
| What power amp for Spectral DMC 12? You can use any amps with a Spectral Preamp but you SHOULD use a Spectral Preamp and all Spectral/MIT IC and Speaker Cables with Spectral Poweramps. | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC My townhouse is a new build, 5 years old, with new overhead wiring and a new transformer only 20m from my house in a gated development. The sound I get there is free of hash and I use a Plixir 3000 power conditioner which doesn't filter. It's a b... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse After much procrastination went ahead and ordered a SR Master Fuse for my Power Conditioner. SR recommends putting a Master Fuse in either the DAC or Power Conditioner to begin with. Since the Power Conditioner is the only gear that doesn't have ... | |
| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer There is a free Windows program called SyncToy. It will automatically keep two USB/HDD or SSDs identical for backup purposes, like RAID or to use another drive on another system or in the car etc. Everytime you add files to one drive the second ... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' DSOTM has had the a$$ played out of it, even WYWH is jaded. I prefer Ummagumma these days. | |
| Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” CD revisited The Steve Wilson remixes are the best. Aqualung was a terrible recording even in SACD. Steve have done a great job. |
