| 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... | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Albert, no more than ILS. Tom | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones The non fuse magnets that I use all made for a significant difference. The two replaced on the main amp board were kicked up several notches when I replaced the main ac fuse beside the power cord for each amp with the magnets. The difference was l... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values And even yet when these speakers are properly coupled within their own cabinet and to the room cabinet that surrounds them they truly become three dimensional and much less critical to placement. Ya just got to venture out and do it. Tom | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Sounds similar to a thread dated 07-24-01. Historical repeat. Tom | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones A friend of mine replaced the in line fuse on his BAT VK31SE with a maget non fuse I lent him..One fuse nothing else,he said it was a dramatic difference, his teenage son agreed. So did his bird who has an open cage and flys about.Seems that when ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones No fuses magnets only. And then treated across their centers with AVM. Double blind or double deaf the difference is tactile.Tom | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne, The second speaker system I ever owned was Tympani 3a's tri-amped. Very complex system to get my arms around. I was only 22 then and the imaging imbalances in my room at that time drove me nuts. The room was large and so were those panel... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne good read,When I went external with my Dunalavy SC4's crossovers I hard mounted all the components on 2024 1/4 inch aluminum plate. This material has a high percentage of copper content and is vibrationaly reactive in a good way. All resi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR II speaker spikes When the VR4's are properly coupled there is no need to mass load this speaker. In fact when properly coupled it is easy to hear all the negatives of mass loading. The others have provided you with the best suggestion in mechanical coupling. Tom | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow In forty years I have had only one component failure and that was an ARC SP10. The unit flamed out, the fuse didn't blow and the breaker didn't trip. I was there in the room when this happened. I tripped the breaker myself in the closet where the ... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow You need to try the non fuse repalacements from Rick at Virtual Dynamics. They are high power magnets.. They are 3d and sound as if you have an entirely new amp. Tom |
