| New format, dislike..... akg_ca, those two fonts are exactly what I recommended during beta testing. Interestingly, as I type this response, it appears to be in Arial but I suspect when I hit preview or post it will switch to Georgia.I also recommended going bold by putt... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Wig, did you compare the AH to the 20 or the Red, or both? Did you use them in source components, amplifiers or both?I have heard good things about the AH fuses but they sure are expensive.I only justified buying/trying a couple of Reds because... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Signature8, the short answer to your question is, yes it is.If you want to learn more, 1.go to the audioexcellenceaz website or Google search under "audiodharma Cable Cooker"2. go to Audio Asylum and search for "Cable Cooker" then add the addition... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube One cannot simply swap out an AB amp for a D. The system must be coherent and matched.This seems to be in response to my post so I will bite...and ask what do you mean by "coherent and matched?" I didn't mention that I tried the amps with three di... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Jeffb28451, while the Class D amplifiers may have been "broken-in," it is possible that a two-day warm-up was not long enough for them to reach their full potential. I would have previously called BS on this notion but, after living with NC1200 mo... | |

| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube I have gone back and forth about once a week for the past year. The only Class D I have owned is my current NC1200 Acoustic Imagery Atsahs. I also own a McCormack DNA-2 LAE that received Steve's Signature Edition upgrades (the best) in 2014. Befor... | |
| McCormack DNA-750 good? Since you asked, I suggest you not rely on "everyone's eyes" when making your amplifier choice but rather rely on your ears. I suggest you listen closely to the 750s before you purchase a pair. I have no doubt they are powerful but they also do no... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I just ordered three and will try more if I hear improvements.Can any users contrast whether they work better on source components, amps or equally well across the board?Anyone compare the red with Audio Horizon or Furutech fuses? | |
| McCormack SMC Audio upgrades: how good are they? Steve was able to reduce the level of the thump when he performed the upgrades to my signature edition DNA-2 LAE but there is still a little, and it is no problem whatsoever. Fortunately the DNA-2 has a standby circuit so it remains on all the tim... | |
| McCormack DNA-750 good? My understanding is that the DNA-750 is not a Steve McCormack design, but was designed by folks at C-J after Steve was no longer affiliated. Google Jeffrey Behr over on AAsylum and you can see some great pictures showing how he upgraded his amps. ... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers But do they beat tube amps? That's an entirely different question! ...and one with no answer here, because you will never achieve consensus on the definition of "beat" | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable We are willing to pay so much more for small improvements. If it brings you joy. Why not?Until the next fix? I guess "joy" is relative and personal, but is it really the reason, or result? Looking back, does your current system bring you any more ... | |
| Shipping damage Did you consider asking the shipper whether you could inspect the inner box (your comment of an "outside box" implies there is an inner box) or, if there was only one box then inspect the item itself, prior to refusing the shipment? I have had dri... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable There is much enthusiasm over this topic and I find interesting the apparent need to pick "sides" and for one side to be right and the other wrong. My beliefs are based on my system and experience, and I don't want to prescribe what works for othe... |
