| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock - Mojo Audio Mystique Y AM ($4,999) is in the house and playing music. I don't know if I will go into the depth in writing about it that I did with the others but, it sounds pretty darn good right out of the gate. I basically transition... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? SRV - Rivera Paradise, and much more… So disappointed I only saw him play once, onstage with EC for two songs. He is definitely missed but his music continues to provide joy! | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I wonder if this ABC-30-R fuse would be just as effective as a slug operationally and sonically? This ceramic case fuse is 3x the capacity of the big 10A fuses in my amps and I suspect would be no more restrictive than the wiring connected to the... | |
| DDC Comparisons I previously owned the Hermes and now the Singxer SU-6 (with a 9V LPS). The Hermes I had was glitchy and I couldn’t make it reliably work in my system. The Singxer does not audibly/significantly change the sound, either for the better or worse, bu... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? My experience remains that cables do not totally transform a system (i.e., from bad to great) but, at least in my recent experience, they can certainly add that final touch that changes the sound from "something's still missing" to "nailed it!" ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? If you have a dedicated line to your amp, and your amp has say 6.3 amp fast blow fuses in it, would putting a low current 6 amp breaker in your panel do the same thing? Panel mount: The issue is that a magnetic breaker replacing a fuse needs t... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Thanks @tksteingraber - the SDFB looks well made with heavy wire where necessary (except to the LED). It appears to be a breaker with a small control board, likely for the automatic reset. If I were to use one, I might hard wire a pig tail power... | |
| Crimping Furutech FP203R spades Same answer as in June of 2020. It looks like the link from then expired but this is the same tool I linked previously and still use, and it is not too expensive. Amazon has quite a few different models here. Still using with those crimped FP203 s... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @devinplombier I for one am curious to find out how his experiment turns out I will be happy to share how my installation of the breakers turns out, but I probably wouldn't categorize this as an "experiment" since SMc Audio are currently and ... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) There are so many good ones. One thing we lost in going from Albums to CDs and then streaming was the artistic, interesting, and sometimes shocking cover art. It just doesn’t have the same impact for me on a CD disc. There are so many good ones an... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? Just reading through this and noticed a mistake in my post - I meant lowering the crossover frequency, as pointed out by @carlsbad2 | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? When my amps were finished in 2020, SMc Audio had begun doing away with power switches (mine have none) but it wasn’t until a year or two later that they found magnetic breakers that they were comfortable with using to replace fuses. Apparently t... | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? IMO, you have already received good advice on this thread. In my case, with two large Aerial SW-12 subs, I would invoke the 80/20 rule and say that they sound just about optimum on about 80 percent of tracks that I listen to. However, I have them ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 - Have you experimented with whether different fuse replacement slugs make a sonic difference? I ask because I have a solution coming that will allow me to replace the 10A fuses in my monoblocks, so I was looking at options to replace t... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 "So SDFB, designed and built one and did a very nice job." In our world, $400 for "a very nice job" on something that is actually useful should probably be considered a bargain. Even if I find the right breaker, finding/buying a sui... |
