| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp I have been in this obsession (euphemistically, a "hobby") for some 50 years and I can still hear the better part of the human range. The SR Purple Fuses are major -- repeat major -- audible improvements, both in my VTL 7.5 iii preamp and more la... | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? Look at the front page article in today's Wall Street Journal. Guitarists and audiophiles are raiding and hoarding the good tubes. Neal | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? I have never encountered a corrupted issue on any song played over Tidal, and I play Tidal often and long -- home and in car. That said, their response was gibberish. Neal | |
| Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC Thank you all. As expected, many options. Neal | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? I enjoy Tidal. Any few issues arose, I contacted Tidal Help and they came back promptly. The MQA sound on many albums is superior. Neal | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping I have popped a few Synergistic fuses but now realize I have to go up a number, from Large 2A to 2.5. I think the Purple Fuse is the greatest value in audio performance, almost equivalent to upgrading IC's or PC's. Only fuse is accessible in my VT... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping My Purple Fuse blew after only a few weeks. It uses the same Large, Slow 2A as the previous Orange and Blue fuses, which had no issues. I have advised the retailer and expect they will replace them, but what comfort do I have the next one will rep... | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. Bridge II streamer in PS Audio DSD DAC. Can't beat $800, card slides right in, then a few screws, sounds grand, no additional cables. What would that have been cost as a standalone + cables, and take up more room on a stand in a NYC apartment. I'm... | |
| LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers I removed the Lessloss Firewall for Loudspeakers (which were terrific) based on Jeff of Silversmith's recommendation for Fidelium speaker cables. I need to experiment with putting them back on, which the notion of ever crawling around speaker cabl... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? As an audiophile maniac for decades, I am a believer that the pre amp is the pulsing singing heart of the entire rig. It all comes through the pre amp. This is where I would (and have) place the most budget you can afford. My magic is solid state ... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx or Now? I am still staying with the Krell FPB 300cx, in a NYC apt. no less! Just sits as a black burdensome box on a platform, Sphinx-like, stolid . . . and melodious. | |
| Krell FPB 300cx or Now? So far, I like your comments! | |
| How important is the pre-amp? After almost 50 years of this mania, IMHO the preamp is the most important component in a system; it is the heart from which all arteries (cables to amp tp speakers) and veins (inputs from sources) flow. I have a VTL 7.5 iii and it is the most neu... | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith Second the PS Audio DSD DAC with Bridge II. Fantastic DAC and simple, inexpensive streamer solution easy to self-install, and that sounds great with Tidal. | |
| Looking fo krell 450 mcx monos I have a Krell FPB 300cx amp purchased new in 2002 from Sounds by Singer. Drove it up to CT and had it re-capped at Krell about a year ago for about $1100. Will sell my firstborn before I part with this amp. Never even had a burp out of it. Drive... |
