| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers @gladmo I disagree and wonder how you could even say that. Now it could simply be what he was playing (Belafonte), or that fact that I went on the first day, but his system sounded very ordinary. I own upgraded Moabs and know how great they can... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? I've never heard the Benchmark amps but I own a pair of the PS Audio BHK 300's. I bought them after hearing a friend's Magnepan 3.7s being driven by the D'Agostino S350 amplifier and marveling at how much better his 3.7s sounded than mine. I can... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I understand the important role of the Swiss Digital Fuse Box in terms of protecting the equipment but if one simply wanted to test for any sonic improvement is there any reason not to simply replace the fuse with a 5x20mm copper rod? Obviously t... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @verafiaudio Can you use the Swiss Fuse Box with PS Audio BHK 300 Monoblocks? Those amps have 6 fuses per side with only one power inlet. There are 4 glass 10 A 250 V fast blow fuses and 2 ceramic 10 A 250 V slow blow fuses. It is a hybrid tube... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname Lots of people suffer from hearing loss and don't know it. It is kind of like all those people who claim their cartridges with 2000 hours of play time on them are perfectly fine. The change is slow and progressive and easy to go unnotic... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @ozzy I have to agree with the @thecarpathian . The lyrics are clearly "I've loved them all" and I had absolutely no trouble hearing them even on my modest desktop system (KEF LS50's and a $99 SMS; DA-6). If the lyrics aren't legible you should ... | |
| Canare 4S11"G" now available! @mofimadness I assume you connect the two red wires together and the white and clear wires together for a speaker cable? Have you had the opportunity to compare to any higher end speaker cables? | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? This is probably a bit grating and avant garde but I really liked the soundstage when I listened to it on my 20.7s last night. "Ozymandias" off the "Dystonia" album. https://open.qobuz.com/track/209334759 | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @gladmo @verafiaudio I'm confused about how the Swiss Fuse Box gets set for the amperage and slow vs fast blow? On their website there aren't any options during the ordering process. Is this user settable or do they contact you after ordering? | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. Zu Audio Dirty Weekend X I heard the Zu DWX speakers at Axpona being used to reveal differences in Audioquest cables which they did a good job of so in terms of detail and soundstage they were very good. However, I had the Zu Dirty Weekend floorstanders and felt they wer... | |
| Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps? I have really liked my Aric Audio Super 300B SET. https://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=SPR300BSET I am also a big fan of Brandon Wade's amps. I have a custom 2A3 amp from him that I really like. He has been finalizing the design of an ... | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem Thanks to @wlutke and @lewm for giving me the confidence to measure the resistance without worrying about damaging the cartridge, and a small brainstorm I had that I could simply measure resistance from an RCA cable attached to the turntable, ... | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @lewm I am using a Dynavector XX2 MKII cartridge. It is 0.28mV output and only 6 ohms impedance. | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @wlutke Yes, I figured out how to unscrew the connector and I didn't see anything obvious inside. I'm not quite sure how to reorientate the pins so that they are correct when I reassemble it. Also, I don't know if it is safe to use a multimeter ... | |
| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! Congratulations. I really liked them at Axpona. |
