| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Mitch2, I used to own the DNA-2 Rev A amp and shortly before I sold it, I replaced the internal fuses (2 on each rail) with four Isoclean. It took about 48 hours of burn-in and after that the improvements were about equal to replacing standard wal... | |
| Has anyone compared Oyaide against FIM Sherod, I actually know Robert fairly well. Since Krell man owns a number of Star Sound products, I thought it was funny for me to pose the question of "Who's Robert Maicks?"Well, it seemed funny 7 months ago when I typed it on a whim.Disc, my new... | |
| Nuforce Mmakshak and Jp1208, as you know I too am very impressed with the Speltz cables and consider them potentially a best buy of this century in the audio industry. Since the Speltz made my old pair of $3500 ics sound veiled in the highs and bloated in... | |
| Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil There is a lowered noise-floor and the perception that the cables make the sound faster. Similar to installing a slightly 'faster' amp that gives the perception of a quicker tempo. Although it's not really a quicker tempo, it's just a slightly mor... | |
| Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil Electroid, if you have not done so yet, try lifting the Anti-cables about 2 inches off the ground. Depending on your system's resolution, you might be in for a surprise.I won't tell you what the surprise is but if you notice the difference please ... | |
| benefits of adding a power amp to a budget system? In my opinion, the amplifier will impact a system for better or worse more so than any other component.An excellent amplifier will most always make a mediocre pair of speakers sound almost spectacular. But a mediocre amplifier will never make an e... | |
| Pwr. conditioner necessary w/dedicated AC lines? No need to be confused. Whenever I speak of line conditioning as being absolutely foundational to any system worth listening to, I always qualify that by including the word 'proper' with line conditioning.So why include the word proper? Simply bec... | |
| Not wasting my time on new Digital There's a number of issues to address here but in short no one component makes for a very dynamic, revealing, involving, and 'lifelike' system. There simply are too many variables involved.(Although if there ever were a single component that could... | |
| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? The Pass Labs is good stuff. The X-1 and X2.5 are two of the better preamps I've owned.My guess is it's not the brutal honesty of the music or even the recording at issue here. Most likely it's the brutal honesty of inferior or no AC line conditio... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Aggie, my price sheet shows one line item for all Furutech fuses at $60 each which I confirmed with the same Patti as mentioned above.BTW, what type of law do you specialize in? | |
| Lifting speaker cables Yes, lifting the speaker cables off the floor often times make a very audible improvement. But it's also like bi-wiring a speaker.It has everything to do with the type of cable, the resolution of the system, the ears of the listener, the height of... | |
| Nina Simone Remastered Funny, I thought the wonderful song was 'SinnerMan'? | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Interesting, Aggie. I spoke with Patti yesterday to confirm the $60 price on my price sheet. | |
| Edge M8M vs NuForce Dbtrucks, wait until you hear the Nuforce SEs before and especially after burn-in.As good as the bass and treble are with the Ref 9s (among the very best), the SEs are significantly better and in a big way. With proper line conditioning installed ... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Yes, the Furutech fuses are indeed $60 each. |
