| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? The audiogon web site redesign launched this year had a lot of issues it would seem. If audiogon has collapsed this year, that is a likely factor. Hopefully agon will recover.LEvinson used to be the cats meow of high end audio performance wise. Pr... | |
| Fuses that matter. "A difference that makes no difference is no difference".An obscure quote from an obscure scifi novel I read years ago that has always stuck with me. I find it quite useful to help sort through priorities in life. | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg,WOuld you agree that there are a lot of ifs and maybes still in this discussion?Back in grad school, where I did in fact study applied science and even conducted some award winning research, we were taught that the scientific method can be use... | |
| Fuses that matter. Geof from Machina Dynamica asked:"The data also shows measured differences were due to fuse direction. Hel-loooo! What does your intuition tell you about that data? Lol"I've already stated that back towards the beginning of this thread. See below.... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? I am not a fan of distinguishing audio in terms of musical or analytical. I just do not find much value in this distinction.HEy, its music! Of course it should be musical! But so what? Ask 10 people what musical means and you will get 10 different... | |
| Fuses that matter. Well, I was done with this thread but now that there is some more real data to apply, what the hey. Thanks Bryon (I think).SO it makes sense to me that resistance and voltage across different fuses varies somewhat and is not exactly the same.Also ... | |
| Floorstanders with a large sweetspot Drew, Makes sense. Thanks. | |
| Fuses that matter. So just in case anybody still cares after all this, i will recap my thoughts about fuses1. Fuses clearly effect sound. No fuse, no sound. Pretth clear. 2. A fuse that sounds bad is probably defective and should be replaced3. If all seems well ther... | |
| Allen Toussaint I have his cd with elvis costello that is very good and ery good recording also as i recall. | |
| Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C I believe you do pay return shipping if you return the ohms. I use my 100s for video as well as audio and voices sound good. I The ohm omni presentation and the wide range walsh driver are the unique things with the ohms. If what you read about th... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg, I did not say i rely solely on intuition. Those are your words and you are incorrect in jumping to that conclusion. Jumping to conclusions is clearly not good science! | |
| Fuses that matter. One more thing regarding intuition. Some believe intuition is the driving force behind innovation. That makes sense to me and I would tend to agree. | |
| Fuses that matter. Well, maybe I'm wrong. After all, its merely intuition. I do always try to keep an open mind though. | |
| Fuses that matter. There are some products I have lower regard for than the MD products I have read about but it is truly hard to come up with many. Cigarettes are the ones that come to mind. Although I am of the opinion that the MD products are a sham, at least the... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg,I'm not saying intuition is science. Look up the meaning. Two different things!Maybe someone with nothing better to do will do a scientific study on the effect of fuses on sound in audio systems.Meanwhile we will have to solely rely on our ind... |
