| 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. | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Have you tried any so far that sound like what you describe? | |
| 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. | |

| 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 ... | |

| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) If downsizing don't underestimate the potential of newer Bluetooth speakers and systems as well. | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? Out on the deck on a beautiful spring eve and brought the hk out for a trial. Normally would run the Minimus 7s off the main rig out there. It's doing very nicely and provides a unique perspective to the listening. It's running direct off my... | |
| When spending less than $5,000 how much of a guide is price? Jimspov, off the cuff I think that amp will be much more versatile with the Zu's than Totem. It will fit the bill nicely with the Zus but I strongly suspect will probably run out of steam early with Totem.BTW I have heard both and believe eith... |
