| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound @questforhifi I have several of the Puron conditioners and 3 of the swiss digital fuse boxes. They have had a a very positive impact on my system. I'm sure you realize there isn't an objective measuring system for these type of products, so I'm ... | |
| Power cable Advice... @alarcono I have done both and each made a significant contribution. I started with the PS 10 and each addition of the power cables made improvements | |
| Power cable Advice... Nordost states in it's packaging that the "Power Cord is the most critical cable in your loom". I was running Ansuz cords which was my first upgrade over stock cables. Big difference. Upgraded to Shunyata sigma v2's. A huge difference. I gift... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear I owned Mac gear for years and really enjoyed it. An old solid state amp with fixed power cord was my first real amp upgrade. Don't recall the model, bought used. Made a believer out of me. Bought the C2600 preamp and loved it. The amp died and ... | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? @wokeuptobose Yes, it was from Mark | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? I have 2 Purons and have just purchased 2 more. They clearly make a difference. The nice aspect is that this isn't one or the other. The Purons compliment power conditioners and work well as a stand alone. My initial two Purons went into the d... | |

| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? My VAC gear sounds decent after 5 minutes, but incrementally improves over the next 2 hours. I warm everything up at once and play LP's that I don't totally engage me or are a new purchase at lower levels for several sides. The other question is... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I am a big fan of the Sluggos. It makes most sense to me to have a Swiss Digital Fuse box behind them though. While the odds of disaster are low, if it can happen, it will eventually. Also, they can be reset, so it's the last fuse I will ever h... | |
| Off axis cloud placement @theaudiotweak What an interesting concept. Which fan has the biggest influence. I have ceiling fan, but its blades are only 40". No space behind me for another fan. Why no titanium oxide in the blade treatment? @designsfx Since my last post,... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. I have several. -Meeting Ringo. I thanked him for all the marvelous music and he thanked ME for being a lifelong fan. On bad days, I remind myself that I met a Beatle. -I had an opportunity to golf with Dicky Betts and Les Dudek about 20 years ... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals @lcherepkai Yes, it does. Mark Schifter can supply a high quality 1 ft cord called a pigtail (or Piggy) which works well with set up. He also has a variety of high quality metal sluggos that clearly changes the audio presentation. I've tried a... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals There is way to get the best of both worlds. The Swiss digital fuse box uses a variety of solid metal sluggos with a digital fuse box between the wall and device. This is a relatively new product, but to the best of my knowledge there have been ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Certain things (at least at this point) cannot be measured in order to provide data that can be interpreted by independent observers demonstrating ironclad proof of an effect or lack thereof. It doesn't mean there is no effect. A foolproof test ... | |
| Vinyl Lovers I prefer discogs to eBay for the simple reason that you can select the exact pressing you desire. Santa Monica pressings apparently bypassed the inferior vinyl issue of the 70's. I did use eBay for several years, but no longer. Another caveat i... |
