| Quantum Science Audio Thread QSA fuses are a sure improvement. But I question the stones. At least only one pair of red on my power conditioner, preamp power supply, and amp transformers. At least on my system... nothing. | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL Clever cross marketing. An already well received deck with a sunburst finish to harken to end user’s beloved guitars.As a guitarist, I have always had strong affection for my sunburst guitars. But, mostly, this type of finish is used for acoustics... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? My system is mostly new except my sole source, a beautifully restored Woodsong Garrard 301. I searched for many years for a good used restored 301 and finally found one. Not only it is at the center of my system, after getting it I upgraded my ent... | |

| Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps Silversmith Fidelium speakers. $1200 an 8’ pair and $175 for the unique and excellent bi-wire. They made my $6000 cables sound like junk. It is said that the Fideliums can go against any regardless of price. | |
| Need more power, Bi-amping does it work or does it just sound wrong In order to properly bi-amp two identical amps are needed.For several technical reasons mainly to match the sound signature. | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? What I meant by measles, polio, hepatitis and why is Covid different is that the vast majority of us have been normally getting vaccines for these three and many others for decades and all those and many more have been well under control because i... | |

| Channel Imbalance Mystery Tubes, tubes, tubes!Just today, I swapped out Chinese 12AT7s in my Atma MP-1 preamp. Channel balance was ok but the imaging was skewed of to the right. With the new NOS 12AT7s the image is now correct dead center. | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? Measles, polio, hepatitis, etc. Don’t understand why Covid is any different? | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread Just replaced light blue fuses in my mono blocks with yellow.Wow! The improvement in SQ was obvious from the first notes.The edges of notes became so much more sharp. The performances now stand out in a new and more beautiful way.There is no quest... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. I use a Theta Compli for years now.Think it was about $5K in the '90s. Probably could not be made today for less than $10K. Theta was at the cutting edge of digital. | |

| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! A long time ago I had an AR TT. Also a Lenco. Both were $99.An even older and venerable design by at least a decade is the unsuspended Garrard 301. It took until 2 years ago to acquire a Woodsong 301. It is the heart and soul of my current system.... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Never heard Star Sound. Townshend Podiums under my speakers has been among the biggest transformations. Maybe the biggest.The music sounds so much more “real”. Everything that has been said about them is true. |
