| Top resistors 76Doublebass,Good for you! I did the same thing with Vishays bridged in speakers and the difference was shocking. The image is wall to wall. I think the Duelunds that I recently purchased have a simliar impact as the Vishays. The Duelunds are a ea... | |
| Holographic imaging There was a tube amp some years back that had a front panel selector to adjust the amount of negative feedback.Click..click click. The reviewer a friend and co worker of mine felt that the 6db selction point of feedback was to his preference. His ... | |
| Holographic imaging Amazing that an ego attached to a design such as the original H-Cat would attest to a possible flaw and then decide to publish a fix. I think thats great! Live and learn and learn a whole lot more. So many designers and manufacturers never fess up... | |
| Holographic imaging I take great pleasure in hearing and speaking about concepts and tweaks that cost only a few dollars and make more fundamental difference in sound quality than what a blowviating dealer may offer for thousands and is obsolete in weeks or months. Tom | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Norm,In a perfect world we wouldn't need any outside control devices such as AVM. I do use AVM and it is beneficial. I'm fascinated with the idea that a conductor transmiting current or voltage is being modulated by the conductance itself. If this... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Eldartford,I am concerned about that issue of bending the beams. I think the sound advantage that I gained with the use of the magnet may be further enhanced with the addition of a Faraday shield. Any disruption depends on where the magnet is rela... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Dr.KnowThe size of the fuse depends on your risk tolerance. I have had erratic sleep patterns over this stuff. Friday though was a great day especially if you had doubled down the day before. Saturday I will install the last magnet in my tube prea... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Sir Knownothing, Thank you for your concerns. I too am concerned and careful with the use of the magnets in my hi-fi. I have had one product over 30 years flame out on me and the internal fuse did not blow or trip the dedicated circuit breaker loc... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Grant I respect you as well, As I responded to someone else on this thread. I don't expect everyone to do as I have. Just here to relate my experience. You know Grant it all starts at the power supply so any component upgrade there is a pass thru ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Installed another non fuse magnet today. My wife came down and said the bass was shaking the house. She was two floors up. One half hour earlier playing the same passage at the same volume setting she didn't complain at all. The non fuse magnet I ... | |
| Top resistors Today I replaced one resistor in my Starsound amps. I swapped out the parasitic resistor tied to the small air core inductor that goes to a speaker output. The resistors that were in there were North Creek/Ohmite non inductive wire wounds consider... | |
| Top resistors I ordered my Starsound amps 5yrs ago with the naked Vishay resistors. The upgrade in price was well worth the increase in resolution and reduction in noise floor compared to the same amp with the standard resistor pack. Part of my decision for the... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Albert, I don't think your picking on me. I am just reporting to those out there my experiments, trials and results. I don't expect others to try what I have. Reading someone else's idea, experience or result may trigger an expansion of that idea ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Yes is the answer to no protection. Yes is the answer to better sound. Yes is to the fact that I removed the ferrous cover to my ac mains. Yes is to the better sound resulting from the removal of said cover. Yes it is still covered, now with a non... | |
