| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel I have never owned a REL sub - these must be speaker cables. My comments assumed line level cables. | |
| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel I agree with @oberoniaomnia - trust REL and use the stock cable. If this is a line level signal then 24 awg is quite typical and sufficient. If you don’t use the REL cable, I would recommended soldering SpeakON connectors to any reputable bulk sh... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @thecarpathian - No worries at all, it is a legitimate question. Aside from code issues, one reason is that a line from the panel is in most cases powering multiple components/devices all of which are probably rated for less than the 20 or 15 amps... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @mapman - I like Robert Randolph, and I believe they have played at one or more of Warren Haynes' Benefit Concerts. Good stuff. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Don't know what prompted the resurgence of this old thread, but it got me thinking about power, fuses, and AC connectors, and especially the comments by @carlsbad2 about getting rid of fuses and using slugs. What if I installed a suitably sized i... | |

| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @devinplombier and others - I condensed my thoughts and questions on Ethernet isolation devices like the Aardvark Ethernet Isolator, moved them to a more appropriate thread, and deleted/removed the three associated posts from below. | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer I was reading the A’gon thread about the "Stereo Times Most Wanted Components" and saw that a digital isolation device had made the list (Aardvark Ethernet Isolator). I did a shallow dive into these isolation devices and found out that network iso... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @cdc - I liked the Metrum DACs, and I liked the sound of the Pavane better than the Adagio (I compared them side by side for a while). They use DAC chips that Cees designed and had manufactured. His earlier DACs used industrial chips. The Metru... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @devinplombier - Thank you and no worries. I am sure I have said too much already. The audio industry is certainly not alone in rebranding existing concepts, mixing magic dust with metaphor, and pricing the resulting product so as to appear excl... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @devinplombier - Sorry to take up the space. I will delete these if asked. I basically started with a drill down of one of the "Most Wanted Components" - the Aardvark Ethernet Isolator, and looking into it I wound my way into why does this work,... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? "Our Infigo Audio cables" @calvinj - The wording above, your use of "we" and "us" in your posts, as well as references to loaning out cables and the "infigo cables demo program" leads me to wonder whether you have an industry affiliation with I... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List "and should better" - ? | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Would much rather have a pair of Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia amplifiers than three QSA Ultimatum Infinity AC cords for the same money. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Don’t shoot the messenger. The products that Stereo Times reviews seem to mirror the high end audio industry as a whole with pricing ranging from relatively low (Galion Audio and Pine Tree Audio), to seemingly reasonable (Coda, Grimm, and LTA), to... |
