| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Seems like Geoff has appointed himself spokesman for all High End fuse and wire makers. Poor sods! Reason enough to move on. Unless one really cares about wire crystal structures and theoretical physics in hifi audio. Its an easy experiment if ... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. " They had clear jackets so you could see the (unshielded) copper right through them. "No mine do not have clear jackets. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Right my understanding is the reason the Monster wires are directional as indicated is because of the shield implementation. That's pretty much the only reason that I have read of. My MIT wires have no indicators and I can't say if it matter... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Its probably a safe assumption that most people still do not care about fuse sound or wire direction. Including me for the most part.Of course some care more. May the force be with them.Now I must say I have some Monster Cables around still that d... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS One thing I’ll say about some products like, Atmasphere for example, having read about and actually heard them is they do take a somewhat unique approach (OTL tube amps) that is understandable in regards to how things work and why different and th... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? accurus, you truly live up to your moniker! Good stuff! | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS but there is a surprisingly large and totally unnecessary snake oil Its hard to sell products for top dollar that are advertised to work just like all the other good ones.Is there anyone who really believes that high end audio manufacturers are s... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Interesting stuff. Thanks!Its so nice to have a vendor actually jump in and help people understand whats going on with their products in these threads rather than leave it mostly up to people’s imagination. I appreciate that!!!! Currently I use DN... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. czar, hard to argue with that logic. :^| | |
| Digital/Optical out from Streaming Devices (Bluesound, Heos, etc) to Preamp- difference? These days I have identified multiple digital sources all capable of "high end" performance. These include Roku Soundbridge, Squeezebox Touch, 8 year old Denon CD player/recorder, USB out from Gateway Windows laptop, optical toslink out from Amazo... | |
| Digital/Optical out from Streaming Devices (Bluesound, Heos, etc) to Preamp- difference? " the devil is in the details, and they all matter. "Right but in this case what matters is Jitter which can be measured with the right tools and know how. You expect better performance including jitter with a more expensive device but that is not... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Facts are meaningless when someone thinks they hear something. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Last week I bought a HK Onyx studio 2 bluetooth speaker to add some portable sound to the house. Its very nice sounding and now my wife is pushing to get wired speakers out of her sunroom altogether, which is something I could probably live with a... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? I wonder if anyone buys the really good ultrasonic machines and then starts a record cleaning service. Assuming the devices are durable and have low maintenance over time if used heavily. I mostly buy used vinyl these days and I only clean dirty r... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? A grand is certainly better than most I see. :^).For someone interested in building a big vinyl colelction these days its not a bad investment. $3000 maybe not bad as well if called for. New records typically go for $30 and up. BUy 30 or so and y... |
