| How "Tribal" are we? @hifiman5, your question on tribalism, it's roots, applications (attribuitons?) and most obviously, the political angle, haven't escaped my attention all while reading threads, posts, and posters here on Audiogon. The similarities to politics is p... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? To the first part of your question, there are amp makers and makers of other equipment that use aftermarket fuses. I say this as I've read lots of reviews and came across some makes that use them. They are a small subset of this industry, and no, ... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @auxinput, As much as I'd like to try something new, I'm quite satisfied with my TWL American Series power cords. They brought everything up a notch or two when I first put them in and they're staying put. 😄All the best,Nonoise | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Finally got around to putting a PADS fuse in the 'ol Marantz integrated and it was like it coughed up a hairball. 🐱Well, not as drastic as that but I can't see things getting any better for the foreseeable future. What I had before was some really... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring @soix , if you have that kind of scratch lying around, do yourself a favor and inquire around at the next audio show you go to. At the LA audio show they had a pair of Lumenwhite speakers that normally go for $70K and the show price for the pair w... | |
| Try this free tweak - Speaker Slumber Party! That's what I've been doing all along. Doesn't everybody? | |
| AV Furniture - Depth You could also try what I did, which was to source out a local carpenter and have him make something like this.If you scroll down about halfway you’ll see a mid century style boxer media stand. It’s what I had made for me and I couldn’t be happier... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Could it be that most here can only afford midlevel stuff? That, and all the bashing of some aspects of high end gear and how expensive it can be might be a big turn off for some. I, myself, have been amazed at what can crawl out of the woodwork.A... | |
| AV Furniture - Depth Have you considered an open back cabinet like the glass ones. Some can look really nice.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @geoffkait - Naw. I'm not going to fret much since I know what to expect. We audiophiles know the drill. It's just the wait until that moment when it all clicks into place. Like I said, I'm going to put a CD on repeat every night now and couple in... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @auxinput, I'm not looking forward to the ups and downs to come so I'll continue to put some CDs on repeat overnight to speed things up. I'm so impatient having to wait to try the PADIS in my amp.The frustration one goes through when everything "s... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @auxinput, as of now I have PADIS fuses (all 4) in my Marantz SA15S2b SACD player and a HiFi Silver Star in my Marantz PM15S2b integrated. That's about it. What I appreciate about the PADIS fuses is the no nonsense way they advertise them. All the... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Well, I can't wait for the 200 hour mark so I'll deal with what I'm hearing up to hour 45.Everything was great until around 18-20 hrs in and the highs receded and everything else took on a most mid-fi of expression.😫 I seriously considered taking... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering It's hard not to notice the similarities between this thread and the several on fuses. | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? I love good wine and good music but not enough to overdo the former and end up sleeping through the latter. 🍷﹢🎻 =😌 |
