| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Has anyone on this forum broke open an SR black fuse and analyzed what it is made of and constructed?What are you trying to do, ruin a good thread? For Pete's sake, what is everyone going to write about if these are nothing more than ceramic-bo... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I agree with you ctsooner. All of this is just opinion based on personal preference and a whole bunch of other factors that are not the same for any two of us. It is the same for professional reviewers. That is why absolute statements rarely if ev... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, as the owner of a Mojo Mac mini, I agree with you that the better "audiophile grade dedicated standalone servers" improve on the sound of even a purpose-configured Mac mini server, and I respect your opinion that"Aurender easily stands at... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA cjwebber, thanks for sharing. I did not like the Belden IC's (dull, dark and uninspiring in my system) and I suspected the 20ga Duelund would be the best of that bunch for interconnects. I am not surprised that shielded cables worked best becaus... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is if I don't like them I'll at least know it's not the wireAh, Wolf, don't be hasty. Haven't you been paying attention? It may indeed be the wire. Not all manufacturers are savvy enough to orient their internal wire in the correct direction. Wi... | |
| Running 2 dedicated lines in my dedicated room I have three opinions about your post,First, to your comment, The cables are resting on the bracings of my ceiling which will then be covered.I am not an electrician, and hopefully somebody here that is can weigh in, but I believe electrical cabl... | |

| Bought an NAD 3020. Question for the experts here! 34dean,Can you send me a PM with the name of the service center or tech that performs restoration and recapping services on NAD gear? I own the 3040 as well as a 2150 and may wish to have them updated in the future. Thanks. | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables Yeah, I definitely missed the power cable reference and mistakenly assumed they were speaker cables. However, that they are power cables really doesn't change anything. Particularly the part about what PS Audio is trying to accomplish, i.e., gene... | |
| Bought an NAD 3020. Question for the experts here! If it is the original edition then that is an old amp! I own the 3040 of the same vintage and use it in my garage to power outdoor speakers. Mine has never needed repair in the 35 years I have owned it and it survives 90+ degree heat in the summ... | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables Electrical current flows through your speaker wires. More current flows thorough wires with less resistance (i.e., wires with larger cross-sectional area....or smaller gauge). Therefore, the larger wires will carry a proportionally larger amount... | |
| theta prometheus vs veritas monoblock Hi Juan,I owned the Acoustic Imagery Atsah amplifiers, which are virtually the same thing as Merrill's Veritas that you now own.I was curious about the Prometheus because, unlike the Merrill or Acoustic Imagery amps, the Prometheus has a custom li... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Interestingly enough, all of which are self imposed. @cdwallace3 - Spending $39K is also usually a self-imposed activity, unless you are married. | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Ok ptss, "reasons" might include validation (of owning the best), fear (of not owning the best), affirmation (of belonging to the exclusive club), and the afterglow (bias confirmation). I have no problem with companies making money, and if people... |
