| Target bias dictated by amp or by tube? You might try splitting the difference, during your tests(ie: around 90 - 100mA). If you don’t notice an audible reduction in presentation(lost dynamics, rounded off highs, poor focus, etc), compared to the manual’s spec, leave it there. Why waste... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... @captbeaver- "My McIntosh amp has a permanently attachehed power cable that is a off the shelf product. Is their design faulty? Are they not giving you the full amp? Seems they would know about this magic 4 feet...lol" ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "....well other than a misunderstanding of how electricity works..." There are a couple of theories, as to how electricity, "works". They are both called a, "theory". To which theory, do you ascribe your perfect, "understanding"? | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "........but when someone brings up a group, made of up actual audio researchers, experts, and others who are viewed by their peers as experts, that that group is suddenly of "no value"." Perhaps: expecta... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... @oregonpapa - I’m certain; that’s in the cards. Right now; I’m going to be making a couple other changes, which will require evaluation(hours, each). Don’t want to muddy the waters, with my propensity toward impatience. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... While contemplating the above, I thought about my own fuse trials. Didn’t know what to expect, but- figured it was worth a try. My first fuse was the SR 20 Synergistic(yeah- it’s been a while), for which I didn’t care. Tried the HI-FI Tun... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Thinking about A/B testing, it occurred to me, how many times I’ve heard, "expectation bias", to discount the conclusions, when conducted by the typical audiophile(the tweak doesn’t matter). Today; I pictured a cadre of fire-breathing, rabid, nays... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I’m still waiting for someone to, "prove" fancy fuses can’t/won’t/don’t improve one’s listening experience. OH, WAIT: you can’t. All I’ve seen/read here, thus far, are theories and subjectivity. Nothing’s ever been categorically proven by... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Hopefully: the kind of people we’ll run into, on a site(purportedly) dedicated to the improvement of one’s listening experience, will be those that point us in a direction, conducive to achieving that goal. It’s been my experience; making system/l... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I suppose; some are so lithocephalic(an indicator of hubris), that they’re incapable of noticing another’s use of words like, "generally", "variables", "usually", etc. And, again(my point): Anyone’s having convinced themselves otherwise, thr... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... On another thread, Elizabeth brought up a subject, that is typically ignored in these conversations. ie: Familiarity(with the system being altered/used as a test platform). Hours spent in a car familiarize it’s owner with the overall sound of it’s... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I’m learning not to engage(waste keystrokes on) those that have something to prove, outside of those that trust their ears and wish to prove, for themselves, whether some things, not easily explained, can result in better sound(my only agenda). | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "Wow!!! just looked at your history, out of 8 pages of post, possibly 6 pages of which are on the Synergistic Research fuses, others are on other voodoo SR gadgets." ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I've been eating a lot of fish! | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Steps in the Scientific Process:Step 1: Ask a question. ie: Can fancy fuses possibly be of benefit/change anything?Step 2: Do background research. ie: Read reviews/feedback/empirical evidence.Step 3: Construct a hypothesis. ie: Opinions vary widel... |
