Fuses that matter.
I may be biased but I would tend to judge the "skeptics" as being more unbiased in their approach than the "believers".Honestly?One camp has tried it and heard differences while the other camp hasn't and doesn't know one way or the other and you g...

Al,An update on my AC readings.Throughout the last two days my AC stays stable @ 119v on five readings and 118V on three readings, all @600V setting. At the 200V setting, the normal fluctuations occur (+ or - .3).What all this means I can't really...

Hey Notec,Regardless of our beliefs, mores, and folkways, and the incredibly wide divergence in those, whether pro or anti military, pro or anti religious, what drives them and how it's mutated through the years, been commodified, commercialized, ... 
Fuses that matter.
Al,Just for the heck of it I went and got a multimeter and here are the preliminaryresults:Time: 7:45 pm on a quiet Sunday, usual time for listening.At the socket: a steady and constant 119 @ 600V fluctuating constantly from 119.7 to 120.3 @ 200VF...

Al,Thanks.I don't possess a multimeter but if I get a chance I'll see about getting one from Rat Shack or Sears. I've always wanted to know just how much variance there is in my apartment during listening sessions. Time to find out.I suspect that ...

Sorry, make that Pinot Noir (Lot 59 from the Santa Lucia Highlands, 2009) and I haven't even had a glass yet. 
Fuses that matter.
At the risk of seeming dense (which I am wont to do as others see me), let me repeat that it's all a matter of degree.Some systems are already up and running to the point where the benefits of better fuses will not be as dramatic as in a lesser re... 
Memorial Day
Before this gets out of hand, let's remember what this day started out as. It was originally Decoration Day, to honor the dead from the Civil War, from both sides.Honor the Dead. Remember the horrors. Hope for peace. No more war.Happy Memorial Day...

This thread definitely has some legs. Allow me to point out something I did much earlier (either here or on another thread) where it was apparent to me that the amount of improvement was dependent on the pedigree (level of refinement) of the unit ...

Class D amps
Vicdamone,They have complete kits of the UCDs but as for the nCores, Bruno is teaming up with Jan-Peter for this: http://www.mola-mola.nl/. As for the price, if Bruno wants to keep slaying the market, it might be within reach. Getting back to the ... 
Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"
Over here http://www.hypex.nl/ and at their shop site https://www.hypexshop.com/, this Class D designer has been creating quite a stir. I considered buying the modules but funds are a bit short now and I have "0" confidence in myself to build one ... 
Are you a Verificationist about audio?
1) We are all something.2) So sayeth the shephard, so sayeth the flock.3) Only to a point, else we'd have incredibly short life spans.4) Verification, being a process, will narrow down a particular. To dismiss it, see Method of Assertion. This wa... 
Are you a Verificationist about audio?
Bryon,Thanks for the clarification. As usual, you've opened more doors than I thought possible. It's nice to have to think things through, again.Oh, and what Learsfool says, +1All the best,Nonoise 
Are you a Verificationist about audio?
This will sound clumsy so bear with me as I have to come down a rung or two on the ladder of abstraction in order to relate.So the Popperian perspective as it pertains to corroboration is simply to understand that corroboration is generally all th...
