| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? That’s high hopes for any thread. After all this site is here for people to sell things and make money. Hype kinda goes with the turf in high end audio. I’m sure those not looking to profit might be able to behave themselves though. | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? One does have to wonder where the pricing will stop on fuses. I don’t see anything much to stop it. Big profits, few facts, many opinions, money to spend.It’s really all about cost. Nobody will object to paying a fair price for a fuse. But hype ab... | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? $500...no.Makes these at $240 seem like a genuine bargain. They will only be appreciated, though, in @uberwaltz’s immortal words, by "those fortunate members with the hearing to know that they do indeed work". That is a very good sales pitch for a... | |

| Music from ripped CDs (server) No sound quality downside with ripping if done correctly at proper resolution. More upside in general playing ripped files with most streamers compared to CD players that must always optically read often defective or damaged CDs in real time. Some... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? I’ve been streaming over 10 years now and have yet to hear a difference with streamers. Everything else way more. Well, all the other usual things anyhow. It’s the Dac, Mac! | |
| Fuses and confusion People should always check their warranties (if in effect) to see what conditions apply. It’s only common sense. | |
| Fuses and confusion Some vendors may well void a warranty if the gear is opened up.If you modify internals yourself, even just replacing a fuse, there is an even better chance warranty will be affected.People should always check their warranties (if in effect) to see... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? I bought a Linn Axis in 1986 and it's still here so that is a good omen. | |
| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers I prefer keep it simple with as few drivers as possible, usually 2, but 3 can be good too. One is OK but will always have limits. Reality aside, 1 is best ideally at least. Bottom line is coherence is what holds my attention listening. Various ... |
