Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
One last thing. There are many parts within a component that are temperature sensitive, in other words, get hot ( transistors, resistors, transformers, tubes ), that I encourage caution. I do not apply on these, but if given room and with proper h...

If anyone wants to try it, I use Dynaflex 230, window and door sealant, by DAP. It is available in a squeeze tube, but I purchase it in the 10.1 ounce tubes. If you purchase it in these larger tubes, you need a caulk gun, and, need to puncture a s...

There is a relatively new product called Anti Vibration Magic, which works. The painters tape mimics the same effect. A buddy of mine uses black electrical tape ( which comes in many colors ). AVM is quite expensive ( imo ), and is used by a few h... 
Amp upgrade advice
I purchased a Nuforce STA 200 in April, just to play around, at the close out price. Found a power cord in my collection that works well ( sounds good ). Having owned many amplifiers in my lifetime, let me tell you something. This amp is pretty am...

A test, for anyone who is interested. Take a 1 1/2 inch piece of painters tape ( I use the blue Scotch 3M 1 inch width size roll ), cut this piece the long way, to get yourself a 1/2 inch wide strip, and apply it on the glass of the fuse, leaving ... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Kosst, you said this : " Sure, there's things they could do better, but I like what they do and they work well in the space I have ". A comment you made about your Focals. I could really talk about, in so many ways, why they " are not for me ". Bu... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
phusis, I have had my time with unsound. I really do believe, either, he has not heard a proper horn " set up ", or, he just does not like them ( even loathes them ). He is entitled. Just do not understand some of these folks, and why it bothers t... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
kosst, no one here has ever used the term " perfect ", to describe horns, but, have shown " passion " for their attributes, and more important, preferences to us listeners. There is much passion, all over the ' Gon, about other items and categorie...

I owned, a very long time ago, a pair of Thiel 3.5s, along with, what I thought was a great combo / matchup with the Thiels, a Krell KSA 50, upgraded to a MK II, and then a KSA 100 MKII. I owned Lascalas at the time ( and another roomful of others...

I believed then, and now, that those trolls that come on here ( and other forums for that matter ) and try to ruin the party, are lacking, in some way, their manhood. There is just no other explanation. I believe these forums are to exchange insig...
