| New Fuse Thread . . . To copy and paste what I posted on the other fuse thread: They are designed to provide the greatest benefit when placed in the power supply(AC input or DC rails). In these circuits, I've found the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses to increase the "organics" of m... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones OOPS- My bad!! That money is being spent at Sonoma State U., and they are modeling their new hall after the Seiji Osawa Hall. I guess you're going to stay stuck with what is purportedly one of the best halls in the country. I've never heard the Bo... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr E- Don't write the main "Shed" off completely. Hopefully whenever the $110M upgrade/renovation is completed, you will have a venue in which you can enjoy both live acoustic and amplified music without reservation. It's scary that the concerts s... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr E- This past weds. nite I enjoyed an evening of acoustic jazz, performed by a quartet of local musicians, hosted by the University of Indianapolis(http://www.county29.net/cms2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17251&Itemid=9... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr Tvad- Anyone that is not intimately familiar with live music and all it's nuances may have any opinion they choose and that's fine with me. That opinion will be totally and completely lacking in merit to me, however, as that is what my experien... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Dave- I completely agree! If one does not try something themselves, and actually experience the effect(or not): How can they have anything outside of a totally empty opinion? Kirkus- If you are afraid of the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses(an ISO 9001 company)... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Room treatments are not a "tweak". Your room/system interface is one of the most important things(actually the biggest component) you can possibly address when setting up. This has always been true whether regarding a home listening room or live m... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Ralph and MR E- I've purchased 8024's and 2496's for a number of venues over the years. As far as inexpensive auto-EQs for live sound: They do for a cheap, fast curve. Much more convenient than the old Ivey! I've got one in my listening room to ch... | |
| hooking up my cdp directly to amp? You will gain a lot of transparency, if the CDP has the voltage output to sufficiently drive your power amp and you use a good attenuator. You have a Pioneer receiver hooked up to a power amp? | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? I'm working on a hypothesis based on the fact that bats exhibit no high freq. hearing loss as they age. I'm thinking there may be some benefit from a guano based tea, or perhaps salad dressing. | |
| Wolcott Audio tube amp.what value resistor is this 39 ohms, 5% tolerance Test w/a volt meter set for DC, from the resistor's connection at the board(pos probe) to a ground(neg probe). I suppose you know not to touch anything else in the chassis as there are lethal voltages stored in the power supp... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Mr Nil- Unfortunately, the difficulties of arranging a comparison like that, via a CDP, would be almost insurmountable. What with setting up and verifying the accuracy of a reference system, finding the best set-up and positions for the mics/music... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mr M- If you'll re-read my post, you'll note I said the definition has(since coined in the 80's) been watered down to nothingness. Your points prove mine precisely(Thank you!). Further: I offered no "hypothesis" at all about anyone's system. I onl... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones After 30 years of inferior materials and craftsmanship in EVERYTHING purchased from ANY Asian country(Japan being the sole exception), I have avoided purchasing ANYTHING from over there, outside of Ginseng and certain medicinal mushrooms(NO- They ... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mr K- You are correct that each channel on a typical mixing board has it's own EQ. Used correctly, these can be adjusted to convey that instrument or vocalist with as natural a presentation as possible. There are also "pan" controls that can move ... |
