| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Just heard back from CryoParts, their ceramic tubes are not sand-filled. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Isanchez, are your Bussman's MDAs? I got some, and they have no sand in them. | |
| Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS? Not sure about "no tubes needed", but I would say with B&W SS is needed. Some speakers B&W, Thiel, Vandersteen seems to need what SS can do and don't thrive with tubes because of their need for high current and drive into the low frequenci... | |
| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE It would be very interesting to try the F5, which I beleive is a P/P design versus single-ended. It too seems very easy to drive for typical tube preamps. Based on the sixmoons review it sounds like it is less warm (2nd order harmonics) and more l... | |
| Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS? I can live with the Class A Pass Aleph and XA.5 series of amps - they are the best SS I've heard, though I suspect I would also like the Ayre gear as well. I own an Aleph J, but will always keep a tube amp as my primary amplifier. Having both is g... | |
| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE I have tried many combinations, and I must say that the Atma pre / Atma M-60 is the absolute best to my ears and taste (there are many other great sounding pieces, so I'm not saying this IS the best, or the best for everybody - some might prefer t... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Nsgarch, you should also take a look at http://www.cryo-parts.com/fuses.htmlCeramic and cryo'd for $7.75 - no indication of sand-filled, but I have sent them a note. Now these prices are more like it (though I don't know if they are better, the sa... | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 NOS RCA GTA/Bs will add relative body and warmth should you find that breakin doesn't bring enough of it; though I'm not sure which of those driver tubes have the most impact on sound signature. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Knownothing, since you do hear the difference, it would be interesting to see if you could hear the same level of improvement with the $12 Acme. No DBT, just listening. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones This is not about listening versus DBT. Many have listened and heard no difference, others have listened and do. The question is if a fuse can make a difference, why? And can you get one for less than $39. The Acme is interesting as it has many of... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Boy Pedrillo, I would love to hear a nice Blue Note album on that turntable of yours!! | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones These folks athttp://www.rapidonline.com/Electrical-Power/Fuses-Circuit-Breakers/32mm-Fuses/Antisurge-32-x-6.3mm-ceramic-fuses/64647have ceramic, sand-filled fuses in "small" and "large" sizes with a wide array of amp values. I think they are 50 c... | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 Tom, I think the dividing line between "factual" and subjective is might hard to draw - especially on the subject of how something sounds. I have no problem with a manufacturer saying whatever they want as long as their identity is clear; we can t... | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 I don't what Ralph thinks, but Ken Stevens of CAT avoided silver for just that reason. | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 Transparency to the source is a two-edge sword. When it's good, it doesn't get better, but when it's not so good.... |
