| Playback Design with Hifi tuning fuse Cheap fuses don't always blow when they should. HiFi Tuning and other similar types blow when they should. Slow blow fuses are supposed to allow momentary rises of current above rated value provided they are very short in duration. If your slow bl... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc I have Tonian TL-D1s and yes, they can rock without the use of a mudroom. Even electronic fare like Trent Reznor's and Atticus Ross' soundtracks sound wonderful, varied and nuanced.Just because a speaker is designed/voiced like an instrument, it w... | |

| Toroidal vs. Non-toroidal Transformers Is the 'other' transformer you're alluding to an R-core? Is so, they are appropriate for low power applications like preamps, DACs and CDPs. They're about 4 times more expensive than traditional toroidals and are good for suppressing AC hash and r... | |
| What do you feel? I feel engaged or I feel nothing, really, at all. Without it there is nothing to appreciate, to get my toes tapping, to lull me to la la land, to tickle my brain.Without engagement, there is no honeymoon. | |

| Do you believe in Magic? Some people can derive satisfaction from a transistor radio and decry even a rudimentary attempt at better sound for their music listening pleasure. But to separate sound from music and the gear its played on isn't a valid argument, at least to me... | |
| The best digital IC, period. I had a $25 Canare coax cable and thought it was great until someone made me one from a length of Supra Trico with WBT terminations and it was a step up from the Canare in a lot of areas (bass, tone, detail, air, etc.). It cost all of $100.It just... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? One has to keep an open mind and Byron and Al do so in such a refreshingly open manner. Thanks to the both of you for your keen insights and wordsmith. To the naysayers out there that theorize that engineers 'know' what they build and what we hear... | |
