| Leather couch, leather love seat or single wooden chair Every room will be a different puzzle to solve. In my room, taking out an overstuffed couch (with a chaise on one end) did the opposite of what I thought would happen: the bass and mids improved a lot. I always thought my speakers were weak in tha... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Mapman, I believe you but without offending anyone, I feel it has to do with the nature and quality of products made in those times. Fuses were fuses and fuse holders were fuse holders. Not much variance required in something that, at the time, wa... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? As for:1) I have tried it twice with my first set of aftermarket fuses and did not feel the need to do it multiple times. The first time I did it seemed to be enough for me but after the long and contentious posts, I tried it again.Same results. I... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Do you think it was due to the cheap tin alloy of the end caps in the standard fuses you encountered? Also, what grade of fuse holder?The ones in my Marantz Reference series gear are high quality silver plated and so are the aftermarket fuses I us... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @hifiman5 Yes, I was aware of that but that argument (which has it's own fallacies) usually comes with it's partner: rotating the fuse.As to the claim that some microscopic piece of junk will impact a change of sound in a place where they also cla... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The same people who posit that removing a fuse and replacing it also say that rotating the fuse in it’s holder can achieve the same result.Did anyone double blind that doosey of a claim?Think about it. From head on, a fuse is officially round. The... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Again, proof that once something valid is established, it's off on another laughable tangent we go. Where, in that video, did Paul McGowan pander to snake oil? Or Steve McCormack for that matter? | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? So now we have evidence that was routinely decried as lacking that some engineers know that fuses make a difference and now it's turning into a meme that we need engineer naysayers to battle it out. This is a fool's errand. It looks like anytime s... | |
| analyzing the technology of power "conditioners" Here's a review of the Lab12 Gordian Power Conditioner by a reviewer. He's not an engineer but it's a rather extensive look inside.Here's another.They're both in depth and the designer is upfront about its workings.It would be nice to see reviews ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Well, the audiophile fuses I use are ISO certified to be used in any country. And they are not uber expensive like some other brands. In fact, I'm getting a parcel with some new ones hopefully by this weekend. They're made in Germany, sold in Chin... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @mapman ,He said the audiophile fuse made a noticeable improvement but he uses only the better made than standard ceramic fuses. And yes, it has been asserted that not all fuses are the same but I don't recall any naysayer saying that, but rather... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Thanks for the link @lak Kinda says it all, doesn't it? | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Congrats on the Klipsch Specials Wolf. I was looking at those for a while as well as the JBL 4319 monitors over at MusicDirect. I'm tired of trying to find that speaker that fits the audiophile mold and just enjoy the music like I used to when you... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I came across the JTR Noesis 210RT Speaker horn speaker on YouTube. They go for about $2300. They sound nice as far as I can tell and I'd like to hear them soon.All the best,Nonoise | |
