| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming +noromancebefore I went off buying new speakers I would try some tweeks. The 3 tweeks that I saw the most significant improvement in my tube amp system was using: #1-NPS enhancer on all the connections. It makes no logical sense but this really... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? This is no joke and yet another amazing sound improvement. It was a leap of faith well worth the jump…i just can’t believe what a difference this secret sauce and QSA fuses can do for sound enhancement. I have Michael Stanley reincarnated playin... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @middlemass If the center contact is above the left and right contacts, then the fuse should point to the right"When you write “point to the right” what orientation? Looking at the component from the front or rear? Thanks for the tip! | |

| Replace a 12at7 with a 12av7? Fyi the best sounding 12at7 that I have heard is a 70’s Tungsram with square metal getter supports. Unusual design for sure and hard to find. These are amazing better than mullards, amperex, telefunkens etc....there is a pair on eBay with the o... | |
| Replace a 12at7 with a 12av7? Should be fine but be aware the 12av7 is a hotter tube. It uses 150 mA more on the heater grid. A pair of tubes isn’t a lot. Gain is 41 vs 60 on the 12at7 so it may need a little extra power. Your ears are the answer...if it sounds better to yo... | |
| The Raven Has Landed My QSA Yellow fuse arrived yesterday, installed it onto my Raven Blackhawk and to my astonishment I now have a new Amp. Insane a tiny fuse can make such an improvement…does not make logical sense and it hasn’t even been fully broken in yet. A m... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread My Yellow fuse arrived today and I have to say it blows the SR orange away in every aspect in my Raven Blackhawk amp. Just stunning a little fuse can make such an improvement. Best $220 spent! I also bought a blue fuse for my DAC but it arrived w... | |
