| Quick fuse question You can always count on George to troll away and try to get another fuse thread deleted. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... That’s exactly what the OP is pitching.if I wanted to make some bucks, I’d put these is cheap OEM compnents and start letting the accolades and purchasers come calling. I believe that was snark, but, please, feel free to jump on anything you can t... | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? Medicine has a hard enough time ensuring honest outcomes when testing placebos: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK546641/Conflating such a medical procedure with what can be done with audio samples is rather silly. It can give the illusion of ... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Stick a fuse, any fuse, in a crappy amp then come back and tell us the amp is now great.I don't think anyone's said, or even inferred, that.As far as segues go, it's better than most.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? Double blind tests are nothing more than a parlor trick, right up there with seances. You can take something 100% provable and subject people to a DB "test" and come back with 50-50 results. All it proves is that uncertainty increases under the gu... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. These trolls seem to think that if they can play it on their Sony PS3, then, that's good enough and anything better is confirmation bias, when it's the other way around.For them, audio devices are just appliances and nothing more, which begs the q... | |

| The secret to a great amplifier... One needn't spend $160 on a fuse to get better results. Why is it that naysayers always base their premises on esoteric prices when a fuse at 1/3 the cost will have an effect? You can spend even less and still hear a difference.Also, why is it tha... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Unicorns and fairies.....what a pertinent analogy, and typical of a naysayer.These same engineers say that the fuse cannot impact the sound but that correct orientation of the fuse in the holder can affect the sound. Well, which is it? If all it i... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC There's something very right about Holo DACs. I only heard one, years ago, at an audio show when I sat down to listen to some headphones. Holo was still new and when I put on the headphones, it was the first time I thought I could listen to this s... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Funny how jealousy expresses itself here. | |
| Why don't speaker companies reveal the flaws in their designs? This is like reading the script for a pilot episode that never made it past the readers the first time, where just the title was changed. The show's premise stunk the first time, and every time since. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 I had a pair of monitors rated at 85db and my 90W integrated drove them just fine to levels that could get me kicked out of my place. That video is a great primer (saw it awhile back) on what to look out for and what to beware of but the way mc pr... | |
| Sean Connery has passed away :-( Sad to see that generation of actors slowly fade away. They don't make them like that anymore, save for a few who have some connection to those times.I liked him in The Man Who Would Be King, with Michael Caine. They were the progenitors of the bu... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Here's a great review of the Holo May DAC. One bit that got my attention was this: It’s worth noting that John Atkinson of Stereophile, among others, have measured the TKE May DAC finding unparalleled performance, This implies a resolution of more... |
