| Consonance Cyber 800/845 Valve amps; how good? I do not know whether the caps are really made by the company whose name is on them. Few Chinese products use parts other than those made in China and are often forgeries. | |
| Consonance Cyber 800/845 Valve amps; how good? I own the Cyber 211s, which I bought after hearing both the 845s and 211s. They are a good value for the money. Recently I had the input wire changed to quality wire and had the metal oxide resistor changed to metal film. These changes took them e... | |
| High Definition CD or HDCD - What is it exactly? Microsoft seems to have dropped this, but many performers insist of recording in HDCD. I have had two universal players that decode it properly. The first was the Lindemann 680D. I was shocked at the improved performance. My Exemplar/Denons also s... | |
| Amplifiers without the UL mark or CE mark The CE has been a pain in many manufacturers' asses with their "no lead" solder and their plastic covered binding posts. In part their concern is safety and in part the environment. Remember, your parents and grandparents survived without the advi... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Jadem6, you read the thread wrong in my opinion. There is no question that there are multiple replacement fuses that are superior to what you normally get in electronic. I have replaced fuses in 9 components thus far. Some are dramatically improve... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it "replace their fuse" "Nowhere did I mention that this situation is limited to Isoclean" Huh! | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it This is the wording of the above that I have from IsoClean. "Fuses always carry high electric current thereby causing metal fatigue. This would then adversely alter the conductivity behavior of the fuse element and hence the performance of the equ... | |
| Anyone talked to Dean from PSE? You will soon enough. | |
| Anyone talked to Dean from PSE? Jw94055, you would rather quality products not appear with the builder trying to make a go of it since many try but fail? Very curious sentiments.I had PSE amps long ago. I talked on occasion with Dean but more importantly I found the amps quite g... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Tvad, I only heard this combo at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I kept going back because the sound was so good. One time I went back and found it had lost its magic. The amps had been changed.I hope to hear the Red Dragons soon in my system. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Ghasley, have you heard them with the Red Dragons? | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it If you read the IsoClean literature, you would see that all fuses experience the shock of surge current. In other words, according to IsoClean, all fuses should be replaced every six months. I have no real plan to replace my fuses every six months... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Greeni, as always YMMV applies, but I find none of the consensus you describe among my friends, most of whom do not post here. I don't think that IsoClean is hardly unique in terms of what their home market prices are like relative to import prici... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Or it is possible that he and I hear the differences and no existing scientific measure can explain it. As I have suggested there is directionality to wire also and there is a draw direction of wire. Some manufacturers go to great means to assure ... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Whatever that means. Maybe salami on rye with smartass. |
