Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
@nglazer  Thanks for bringing to my attention that there's a fuse in the tuner, which I've overlooked all these years. Now I have something to look into.. All the best, Nonoise  
New Technics SU-G700 Mk II on the horizon
Thanks for the impressions. I haven't tried digital out after the first few days and the SU-G700 has fleshed out some since. I'll give it a try later one to see how digital out now fares. All the best, Nonoise  
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
My eight year old Marantz integrated cost me $2500. My three year old Kinki integrated cost me $2000 My brand new Technics integrated cost me $2700, and it's lightyears ahead in tech and features and bests both by more than a margin.  Manufacture... 
Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
Hello @barts  I've accumulated about 5 different brands of low cost, aftermarket fuses (I'd never pay what SR charges, but that's just me) and in my Marantz PM-15S2 and SA-15S2 SACD player there was a distinct difference with all of them, directi... 
I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day

No need to as it the Technics sounds fantastic the way it is. 👍

It didn't take long before the trolls, name dropping and appeals to authority came up. They make very poor substitutes for actually trying them.  All the best, Nonoise  
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
No one has compared these two CDTs yet.  
Wha'choo lookin' at?
I stare blankly at my stereo system, seeing everything, and nothing. Sometimes I experience synthesia (it comes and goes now) or I just come to, realizing that I've been half way into a trance of sorts. Very therapeutic. Even without going full b...

This is living proof of zombie threads coming back to life. Just try it both ways as there are no shortcuts and if and when you hear a difference, go with the way that sounds best to you. All the best, Nonoise  
Yamaha A-S2100 vs Technics SU-G700
@bizdi , good for you! I hope you got a sweet deal on the Technics from the clueless former owner.  I got my SU-G700M2 last week and it's a keeper and it keeps getting better the more I listen to it. Not the least bit bright. All the best, Nonoise  
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
Yes, it is now a proven scientific fact, all DACs are exactly the same. Did this turn into open mike night at the Comedy Club?    
Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else?
Youtube is full of epic fails by inadequate owners of supercars demonstrating why they shouldn't be allowed to drive anything other than a Citroen 2CV All the best, Nonoise   
I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting?
I once told a joke during during a Zoom meeting. It wasn't remotely funny. All the best. Nonoise  
New Technics SU-G700 Mk II on the horizon
I read that same Stereonet review and missed that it didn't mention the use of GaN FETs. I guess from all my reading up on reviews I took it for granted and just didn't notice that. Maybe it wasn't that big a deal to the reviewer who should have k...
