| DAC Break In Period Check out either the Kimber Kable or Synergistic Research offerings (even older/used), if you want to preserve your music's nuance, sound stage width and depth (etc). It's surprising (in a dismaying way) how many interconnects will act like ... | |
| Quick fuse question Got it (I thought the Bussman came out of another component). If I’m not mistaken; the Silver Star’s been discontinued, though some dealers still have a limited inventory, on sale. I had used the Classic Gold, for years and liked them. ... | |
| CJ MF2550 Replacing the power amp fuss Yes; you’ll be able to replace the rail fuses, by removing your bottom plate. Of course: unplug the amp, first. | |
| Quick fuse question I'd try an AMR 5A, Slow-Blow and see if it holds. The 5A Bussman may have been old and compromised/weak, from however long it had been in use, prior. If a 5A AMR won't hold, through a normal start-up; your amp won't hurt itself with a 6... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. I’m glad there are still companies out there, making tubes for our gear, wherever they may be located. With enough variety to satisfy most tastes, in sound/presentation. Even some that competed with the clarity/purity and quality of NOS... | |
| Quick fuse question mktracy- Was the Bussman 5A a dual-element? If a single wire, twisted around a small rod, it was a Slo-Blo. There’s a difference in time and function, between those two designs (see, "Selection Considerations" and, "Fuse Characterist... | |
| Quick fuse question OK! Those fuses are made in China. Even the high-Dollar, high-end (or whatever one deems them) fuses, from HI-FI and Synergistic (not certain about any others) will typically require a slightly higher rating, than stock. Don’t ask me why! ... | |
| Quick fuse question Did you try it again, with the original fuse? I just downloaded the manual. Not really familiar, with your amp. OK! I’m guessing that you mean the, "protect" LED lit, during the amp’s start-up, then the fuse blew. Did the... | |
| Quick fuse question Was the fuse you tried Slow-Blow or Time-Delay? I ask because: a Fast-Acting, 5A fuse likely wouldn’t last, in the place of an MDQ (Time-Delay) 5A. | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. Telefunken never had a factory, or-manufactured a tube, in Slovakia. All of their assets, during their vacuum tube production years, were located in Germany. There is no, "same factory". The name/logo wasn’t even purchased/licensed, fo... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. "........they may not be audibly better than a new tube coming from the same factory." What factories exist, that were owned by the reputable manufacturers (ie: Telefunken, Mullard, Genelex, etc) whose names ALONE have been purchased?... | |
| What xlr cable to choose A pair of Kimber KS-1130 interconnects have handled the feed from my BAT VK-D5, to my preamp, for quite a while Never have I felt the least bit of information was missing, from my music, nor- any colorations added. Not that they’re that co... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. Only similarity is the name, which was purchased. Whether you’d appreciate the differences, between what you own and NOS 6DJ8/E88CC iterations (there were many manufactured, over the years) by Tele; no one can possibly say, but you/your tastes... | |
| DAC Break In Period @baclagg- KUDOS (for finding and acknowledging that reality). Out of curiousity: what would it take to convince you, "It’s all in your head!", now? Happy listening! | |
