Reliable source Psvane CV181-T MKII
@r042wal    Me thinks you are confused.   Yes, factory burned down.   Yes, Psvane was formed by ex employees    Psvane was formed in 2011, and not as a result of the factory burning down.   Details matter, because you wouldn’t want peopl...

Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker?
I’ve been running my 57’s with an EL34 integrated and they sound great with that. Do not feel I am missing out on dynamics. Just finished building a Hiraga 30 watt Class A amp. As soon as the transformer arrives, I will be setting up the 57’s agai...

Typical.   If you have not heard it, used it or examined it it person, then all you are doing is posting an uninformed opinion.      
Dust cover up or down?
Don’t have, and don’t use a dust cover.    Will likely get one made for my TT to keep the dust off when not in use, but seeing as how it is used daily, it will be spending the bulk of its time stored near by.    Suspect if I get  one made, it wi...

@larsman    Im not against US made product by any stretch. In fact 90% of my gear is North American made. French CD player, 1959 restored/rebuilt Swiss turntable and a danish phono cartridge are the exceptions. If I were to replace anything in ...

@ieales    Your point?  
American Made Audio Products
@darkj    Guess my point is, who cares where it’s made? Everything is from everywhere now a days :) A product should succeed or fail based on its merits, not because of where it’s made.

Does the metal, plastic and wood materials also have to come from the US in order for it to be Made In USA?  
Damping Factor
Speaker designs changed when solid state amps became popular and power was no longer a big concern. Smaller enclosures, lower efficiency and much higher Xmax in the LF drivers. All of a sudden cones were moving a lot. Stopping them from moving was... 
Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
If all amps at a certain level all sound the same, why does anyone bother auditioning them?  
Your experience with these power cables?
Not bad!    You got close to 10 useful responses before the choir chimed in.  
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
Bad idea. The fuses are there to protect your equipment.  Get a decent fuse in there. Ignore the statements from the highly educated cakyol about fuses and certainly do not pay heed to his justification of hardwiring your amp to the circuit brea...
