| Crimping Furutech FP203R spades Hard without a picture but the result is hexagonal, the same shape as the dies. There may occasionally be a bit of the spade material that squeezes into the edges where the two die pieces come together but I have never had a crimped spade come ap... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @retiredaudioguy - Damn huskies, ya never know what they are up to | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk - I agree with @marco1 on both the adaptor and "your Craftman style home and listening area." Back in September in my 6 DAC thread, you commented on our styles being similar. I do have a few pieces, some old some not so old, but your pl... | |
| Reccomendations for CD transfer services/venders...? I paid my daughter to rip mine one summer when she was out of school. She alphabetized the CDs too, which are now all stored in large plastic cases that are easy for me to access. Good luck finding someone to do your job. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk - I have the same DAC as you and used a BNC cable (Oyaide 510 ) with adaptors without any problems. Later, I needed a longer cable and purchased another of the same cable except the longer cable had rca connectors. I compared the cable ... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @larsman - Wishbone Ash and Montrose, what a show! Man, we had some good music back then. I have a few good warm-up memories (like Billy Idol for Def Leppard) but limited to people/groups that I didn't really know well at the time, it would be: ... | |

| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 - I finally finished installing the two magnetic breakers/switches that SMc Audio sent me to replace the fuses in my SMc amplifiers. Each switch powers one of the two outlets on the duplex that the monoblocks are plugged into. See pic... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @devinplombier - Thanks. I believe the Grimm MU2 offers a jack for an IR sensor but not the actual sensor. It just seems like a clunky solution for an $18K piece of electronics, in this era. I will have to check out the Roon app volume control ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I hear you on trying to figure out what works. I am wiring them to the hot wire of the incoming 20A line with the two separate load side wires going one to each half of a duplex, that I will separate by cutting the tab between the two hot sides. T... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 - I can’t for two reasons. First, the manufacturer and model are being held close to the vest by SMc. They apparently tried more than a few before finding the one they believed sounded best with their equipment. Second, in addition to... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @wlp3 - thanks for the update. For my clarity, you are saying that you have the volume fixed in the Roon settings, and then you are using the on-board volume control in the MU2? If yes, how do you physically change the volume except by manually ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I would have used the 30A fuse in conjunction with the 10A magnetic breakers I just received and am working on installing. Instead, I ordered 1/4 inch solid copper rod today, that I will cut in 7/8 inch lengths to replace my fuses for when I get ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience As with some of you, I too am skeptical about considering a one-box solution but what really interests me about the MU2 is all the positives that I am hearing about its DAC section. In his Twittering Machines review, Michael Lavorgna said: "If y... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Having enough output voltage from a source component to drive the amplifier(s) is a good start, but may not be enough for some listeners depending on their equipment, set-up configuration, and listening preferences. Listeners who use passive volum... |
