| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls @erik_squires Definitely. It was when I used the tone controls on my integrated and then asked about it, thinking I’d solved my problems and liking the results, that "they pulled me back in," like Pacino said in Godfather III. All the best,Nonoise | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Thanks @ieales. I just want to do the least amount of damage to the signal before it gets to the speaker. | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls I asked about using the tone controls on my Marantz integrated a while back and for the most part, the consensus was to not use them. Being me, I used them anyway until I got my system dialed in and it is definitely better without them. The contro... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Oops! My bad. It must be that I got my integrated, SACD player and speakers from Music Direct. 🙃 It left a good enough impression. All the best,Nonoise | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @trelja Same here. Thanks for that fresh breath of air.👍👍👍 | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses kosst,Can I be so bold as to offer some advice? Don't do that.Also, if you're in Chicago, or near enough, thecableco.com is located there. Fuses, power cords, speaker cables, etc. are all there for you to try. All the best,Nonoise | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait 😉😁Kosst,I'm way the hell on the other side of this continent. Just do yourself a favor, try a fuse and trust your own ears to see for yourself. You don't need anyone else, unless you don't trust your own hearing. All the best,Nonoise | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Looks like Almarg sums up the point eloquentlyBut it was, in the end, an assumption. Most engineers would consider a fuse to be nothing more than a protection device, since that's it's intended purpose. It turns out though, that it has ramificatio... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait It was more of a short generalization when he told me after I asked him why NOS were better. I would assume that way back then, simply banning certain metals was the way to go. There were no announcements, just the restrictions that wen... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait It was Brent Jessee (of audiotues.com) who told me the IAEA banned the use of certain metals used in NOS tubes for fear of who could get their hands on them for nefarious purposes (like building illicit nukes). After that, they never so... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses left one item off the plate in this entire dialog: Why do expensive "audiophile" replacement fuses, when used with any component anywhere, do anything other than act as a fuse? Oh, but it has been pointed out. Repeatedly. You just prefer to ignore... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Ouch, and, touche. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses No digs needed @jrpnde. Glad to have you aboard. It wasn't until just half way through your post that I thought you were leaning towards accepting aftermarket fuses, but there's still time. 😄Sure, it can have burn in, like a cable and other compo... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @auxinput,Way ahead of you on that one. While I like Geoff’s take on lots of things, his humor, and point of view, he does like to provoke, prod and needle, even when people agree with him or don’t exactly line up with him while still being on the... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses So, this isn't about fuses at all, is it? You just love to argue. Got it. 👍 |
