| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ And I have no clue why a finely aged English cheddar tastes so much better than a slice of processed American cheese. Maybe the English cheese makers use Quantum Tunneling? :-)..I’m sure a simple google search would easily clarify how and why ... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Zeal I’m just wondering if you are currently using a cable? If so which one.If not, and this is your first, why not start with a good quality wire that might cost much less, see how that sounds first, then try something more pricey after if needed... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Abnerjack,In the case of Magnepans specifically, I think there is a good chance of both making a discernible difference in that my understanding is the fuse is actually directly in the signal path which is not the case with most electronics.Which ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Like I said, never the two trains shall meet.... :^)Obviously no two things are exactly the same. Its what matters to each and why that differs.What matters can be subjective or objective or both. Two different ways of assessing value. O... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf when its a labor of love nothing else really matters now does it?It's strictly a right dominant side of the brain subjective thing. Us objective left brainers will never get it. And vice versa. | |

| Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power The way I look at it these days, Class A (many tube or some SS amps, very inefficient) or Class D are the two pure approaches to consider at each end of the power consumption spectrum. Then there is Class A/B which most SS amps are, that prior t... | |
| Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power At the other end of the power consumption spectrum I have 500 w/ch Class D Bel CAnto ref1000m amps that draw 5 watts/ch idle.Class D technology is a game changer. If not for having discovered success trying Class D, I might well be down a tot... | |
| Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power That's basically it. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Sounding like the real deal versus some other bigger ticket wires that get a lot of buzz around here. | |
| Jeff Rowland Amplifiers Top tier. | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) I wondered about 19 fuses as well. The whole exercise seems a bit absurd to me, but the only thing that matters I suppose is if the guy undertaking it believes it to be worthwhile. We all do what we choose to do for whatever reason we choose, one ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Tube preamp and ss amp is always a good option. Just be sure ss amp does not have low input impedance. You want 30kohm or higher input impedance on the amp and many fit that bill. Fwiw I run an arc tube preamp and Class D ss amps and a SS. cl... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC The Vac amps I have heard are very special. I have never actually heard them with "tube amp friendly" speakers. So you just never know until you try. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC On paper the Rowland is a better match for those speakers. I suspect. Both Rowland and vac gear is top notch sound wise with trade offs other than sound quality as you see which is often the case with ss versus tube gear. Matched optimally and ... |
