Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
YGLim you dont need to open the case to get to the Nuforce fuse. The IEC incorporates the male plug and fuse. Theres a small tab that a small flat screwdriver will fit to pop the housing up and out the fuse clips into the housing. I had to remove ...

Sherod i m sure because the HiFi tuning fuse is much more than a fuse it needs some time to get right. I did some PC moving and swapping this morning and yes it does take time even for well broke in PCs to settle down and sound good. Looking forwa...

Ordered from Acoustic Sounds and went with the gold type, also got 2 for my Nuforce amps. Going to change the IEC out to a Furutech FI 09 gold and have one of those coming.

I was looking at the Cable Companies selection and they list a newer silver model. It costs more almost double Acoustic Sounds at 59.95 anyone compared the gold and silver models.

Looks to be a winner like 2.1 would love to hear from users when broken in. I can attest to 2.1rnb this preamp is a very important part of my system and delivers music like i expect quiet, full body and image, a super sound stage, and life like ti... 
Azimuth observations and importance
Theres all types of tools that can get you close but theres no substitute for playing music and getting/finding that final super spot. Its like getting VTA right the stage opens up and the sounds become open and theres air between them. I believe ... 
My experience with changing azimuth
You are so right Doc i did the same thing basically. I thought it was correct man i was wrong and getting it right on is worth the time for sure. Another thing i did was go over all adjustments and another casualty was alignment. I know better and...

Aquafina for record cleaning
If your going to go through the trouble of cleaning your priceless records. Spend the time and money to get a 1st class playback system and not use a lab type water to rinse your records that just does not compute. Think about it. 
Steam cleaning records 2
This is something i started doing recently and it has helped with LPs that have a lot of grunge and dust on it. Before you do anything pass the steamer across the LP and vacuum up before you put a brush to the record. This will get a majority of t...

Granite under wood for better isolation?
Schipo what you saw is not a spring at the bottom of the elevator shaft. In hi rise buildings we use whats called an oil buffer its a strainer using oil to cushion the cab when all else fails. In 2 and 3 story buildings you would see large coil sp...
