| The guru on fuses: Well George, you know I like you, right.. You haven't figured that VAC is doing the Cha Cha Cha, in a direction towards the source and then to a drain or ground. I'm no genius, as you can tell, but isn't that little friggin wire pretty important. ... | |

| The Weekend I like Mr. Jacksons music. It was POP!!. I like POP.. I loved Prince, I thought he was one of the coolest to EVER grace the musical and entertainment stage.I saw him when he was 16 or 17. Never forget that, a LONG trench coat and women lingerie. ... | |

| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) It makes me think of the "Pink room", they use to use to calm people down. BUT if they stay in the room over the 15 minutes, they become agitated again, even more so.. We are what we see? I don’t know about that, but beautiful things sure make the... | |
| Does room temperature affect your sound? Well OP, I go outside flip up a hoodie and come back in.. Stereo sounds BAD.. Flip the hoody back, take my hat off. Perfect. I forget sometimes.The voltage thing is interesting, I never though about that in the winter. I guess folks do heat homes ... | |
| Does room temperature affect your sound? Well, if it's so cold you have to put ear muffs on, that will effect what you hear. :-)My gear actually sounds better in the cold once it's warmed up. Sometimes in the summer if I really push my shop bass bins the speakers VC will get a little hot... | |

SO who ever is doing the programming is the artful sort or NOT.I say the better DAC is programmed by a great musician that happens to be a "CODE WRITER". NOT a code write... | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? WHAT? The opposite? I guess I'm a little slow. Why would I want the opposite of a Pass amp? Really different maybe class DsYin Yang doesn't work Master redwoodaudio. Most sound smiths LOOK to Pass sound as a standard for GREAT SS sound. Most of th... | |
