Fuses that matter.
This thread has become "weirder than a bucket of hair". So that means I am cutting out. Tom 
Fuses that matter.
Chad No I suppose I put that to the side. The magnet makes a huge improvement especially on the AC side of things. I have the magnets thru out my system. 3 in each amp 1 in each sub 1 in the pre amp and 1 in the transport. The DAC has a blade fuse...

Thanks so much for the reprints. Now everyone can read them a second time. Tom 
Fuses that matter.
I have not sourced or measured the variations across a fuse either nor have I attempted that measurement yet. I have measured the before and after responses of an audio chassis on different ground planes at the same distance at the same frequency ...

A charge is always seeking ground even if it is thru a 32 gauge wire a hunk of lead or a hanging berry of sorbothane. The key is how long it will take that charge to get to the other side and how much of its original content arrives intact on that...

See me, feel me, touch me.. whats that say about auditory response...nothing. But those are the other means by which we hear and communicate. When a violinist puts the instrument to their chin are they hearing only with their ears or are they sens...

And the magnitude of difference heard within a reflective pinball machine would be more or less...or none at all. If you knew how to listen thru all of that maybe one, would be able to decipher the audio code. Ask the Pin Ball Wizard he may know. ...

And if you look at a virtual system photo and in that pictorial is displayed proudly and prominently a in wall giant resonance collection chamber [a TV] a virtual time machine of phase errors and noise, a sure cause of time release headaches and i...

Its' only been five years and counting no smoke and no mirrors. One of the most shocking up grades I have ever made.If you have no faith of the stability and circuit integrity of a particular component then don't try this. My preference for the ma...

For anyone really concerned about sound quality and anyone who wonders which pole is up where, install a neodymium magnet, close your eyes and hear the light. Tom 
Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses?
I use neodymium magnets instead of fuses...thru-out. Have not witnessed the least amount of magnetic down hill slide.Tom 
Does anyone make a 1'x1' or a 2'x3' diffusor?
ChuckI have plans for diffusion panels we built as a acoustic fix for a youth performance school. The room was a huge semi-circle the panels were built on a jig to conform to the room shape. I think we built up 53 panels some 10 ft tall and almost... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
I know from experience that when you overfill a speaker stand you can suck the life right out of the speaker being supported. With sand I would start with a third or even a quarter. If you started out small and kept adding by volume you should hea... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Working with a variety of metals in various shapes and geometry used in my hi-fi always calls me back to tungsten and how very little or barely a trace can be way to much. With tungsten in the system the visual picture laid out of the sound stage ... 
Dunlavy VI Crossover Upgrades
On every Dunlavy speaker I have been inside of, the values were marked on the components, even remember a couple of inductors marked with a sticky label. The crossover and terminal plate unscrew from the bottom back and slide out on a serving tray...
