SET the best?
I think the OP answered his own questionWhat's you favorite color? 
SET the best?
@atmasphere thanks, I’m lucky enough to have an old dog eared copy of RDH3. You are right, they knew an awful lot back then.It’s surprising how often I have read that modern designers have discovered that upon further analysis, some ‘antiquated’ c... 
SET the best?
due to to the presence of the 5th and 7th harmonics, which tell the brain how loud the sound is.Intrigued. Could you please point me in the direction of any credible scientific documentation which arrives at this conclusion? 
Which Harbeths?
Before you lay down the big ones I would arrange a reasonably long home trial with whatever Harbeths tickle your fancy. Reason being, although Harbeths are, as a rule, absolutely top notch, really good Totems possess alternative strengths in areas... 
Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier
Before you begin compile any list you should ensure that every pre on it is capable of driving that input impedance to full effect. This will probably weed out 90% of the market for starters. 
Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier
Stereophile measured the input impedance of the T-200 at only 926 ohms.Holy cow! Was Nelson using modulated Arc Welders as preamps at the time? That characteristic confers great importance to the selection of interconnects as well…

Couldn’t agree with you more George - causes significant dynamic compression on virtually alll power amps. Why it works with the Robertson is beyond my comprehension.

Biggest improvement I have ever obtained In the power supply chain was when I purchased a 240:240 isolation transformer on a local audiophile trading site. It is an industrial unit with at least 750W capacity. The improvement to digital playback i...

Just closed cuz of you know who……..When will admin finally do something?

I wouldn't recommend bypassing a fuse if the manufacturer has one in line. You do what you think is best, though.Fine by me……

George, please invest in a good pair of reading glasses before releasing your next vitriolic assault. Your outright hostility prevents you from engaging in any intelligent discourse. Please stop polluting this site George. 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
If you are an experienced audiophile with an intimate knowledge of your equipment‘s driving ability and volume capabilities. I would endorse the replacement of speaker fuses by a direct bypass rather than an audiophile fuse. Having owned many unfu...

But I can tell your Maggies will sound a touch better with just a piece of copper wire soldered lightly outside of the fuse clamps and no fuses. This makes them vulnerable to an amp blowing and going dc, as you know having electronic knowledge bac... 
Perfect match for ATC speakers
Agree with your views on ATC actives. However, I will have to leverage my interests in international arms and narcotics dealing before I can actually obtain a pair.Possibly one reason Exposures pair so well with SCM11s is that they really nail PRA... 
Perfect match for ATC speakers
Believe me Exposure 3012 monos or even my Farlowe generation IV dual regulated will make absolutely beautiful music with the SCM11s, and have done so for me for the last five years. .There is a synergy between Exposure and ATC which accolades such...
