| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @tonywinga Picked up an Amazon 3/8” (5mm) x 12” 99.9 pure copper rod a few days ago. Cut to 20 mm lengths, cleaned them up and took the plunge. Wow is all I have say…every aspect of the music Is improved over my audio fuses. Risk yes but low in my... | |
| Gustard R26 on sale I guess I need to start shopping at Walmart now. I own a Gustard R26 and this is one fine DAC no matter who makes it. Build quality, features, sound quality, price it is 🤯 | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 Thanks for the reply…got that was looking more for what you are using for slugs. How to buy or make them? Metal type etc. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 when you refer to slugs what exactly are they, do you make your own or where do you get them? Curious minds want to know | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @vthokie83 ”There are dozens of versions of the 12AU7/6DJ8 family…” these are very different families not compatible for a gathering…one is 12v the other 6v to begin with..Also, the op does not discuss or use 12au7?? | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @jjss49 thanks for all your DAC expertise and advice. Because of your analysis I picked up a Gustard r26 with an Audio Magic M-1 fuse. Wow this Dac blew me away. I am hearing things I have never heard before in a very nice black background. Ve... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @tonydennison NOS in my view is testing at new level or above used or new. Tubes age with time even in boxes and handling. Pins slight bent are normal for used tubes. Brent tests all tubes with great equipment. Just a one off is my take. I ... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @tonydennison yep once you go NOS you never go back…yep that is a failed tube and do not use it to avoid any shorts that could impact your pre. Brent has a guarantee and will replace it or them. Old 40-50’s black plate RCA most tube types are fa... | |
| Gustard R26 Just picked up a like new used R26. Very nice easy to set up component. (Sonic transporter roon-ethernet-Fmc-opt cable-Fmc-ethernet-R26-amp) Sound quality is fantastic no matter the price. On my system I was finding it with the default settings... | |

| Driver Tubes 6922 Excellent trusted resource to buy tubes. Cost a little more but you get what you pay for! | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @tonydennison one more suggestion that may or may not work out. I have had excellent results using 12at7 and 5751 tubes in place of 12ax7’s. They are identical except the gain is lower than the AX’s. (You can go down on gain with these tube typ... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @tonydennison just curious where are you buying your tubes from? | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 @tonydennison Kentucky Radio made some excellent tubes. I had ‘50’s 12ax7 blackplates. They sound excellent but harder to fine and can be pricey. I prefer the RCA over them. Ken Rad made some pewter plates in the 50’s that are even better but ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Ok after a few days of tweaking and tube rolling with my Cabernet I have discovered fuses and tubes make a significant difference in SQ. I installed a QSA Yellow fuse and wow it made a significant SQ improvement. Tubes have made a difference and ... |
