| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread @ozzy Due to your success I thought I would give switching direction on my Graphene Sluggos another go after not hearing a difference hours back. Well 🤯! The sluggo in my tube preamp sound definitely improved. The Sluggo in my tube amp I couldn’... | |

| Six DAC Comparison @fuzzbutt17 Thank you for the detailed USB and I2S explanation. Very helpful in that there is quite a bit of chatter using a DDC to covert USB to I2S, coax, AES… I never understood or had the need and have used USB on all my DAC’s. I am currently ... | |
| 274B Tube Comparison @gregjacob I first ordered a Sophia 274b Aqua II a couple months back and it was dead on arrival no sound at all. Several other forum buddies had failures as well which convinced me no more Sophia 274’s. Might be component match who knows. Many ... | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? On my system a full loom of power cables and IC’s has been very nice. USB and preamp umbilical cord another maker. I look for cables that are neutral, don’t color the sound and let the components sound come through and shine. So far so good but ... | |
| 274B Tube Comparison Consider the Psvane 274b-z treasure black glass if you can get past their crazy price - Around $60 on ebay or Aliexpress. I was shocked how good these sounded after 100+ hours. They were recommended on another forum as a more reliable and very... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @nymarty Thanks for the Aluminum alloy remote recommendation. I ordered the silver 2 button. Shipping was fast less than 2 weeks. Really nice heavy build quality. It arrived with no instructions but I was able to determine to push both up and d... | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? Fortunately none…but the list of regret purchases is another story. | |
| Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th? Using a Lab 12 Dac 1 Reference for 2 years the new LTA Aero Dac was at the top of my upgrade list. After doing some research and following the “Six DAC Comparison” thread’s reviews I decided to pick up a used Mojo Mystique Evo B4B 21 Dac thinking ... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread I am open to many tweaks that require an open mind and when people were mentioning Sluggo's were directional I thought how could a solid piece of metal be directional. So I gave it a go comparing Sluggo's (silver, copper graphene with many hours)... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer Picked up a used R26 (recommended by fellow Agon’r) last year ($1100) for my second system to replace a Black Ice Glass DSD Dac and Ifi Zen Stream. Simplified and vastly Improved functionality over the temperamental Zen Stream. Noticably improv... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES Interesting that I mainly use the 6SN7 tube family in my preamp and have not experienced any noise or microphony issues with older tubes. Just a couple outright failures. My preferred 6F8G tubes are Raytheon with flat ladder plates (very hard to ... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @ozzy I have 3 Graphene sluggos now and feel they were a noticeable improvement over Solid Silver, Hollow Silver/Rhodium and Gold plated copper. The graphene sluggos sounded very good new and have improved with curing hours. Mine are at about 200 ... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Agree it’s very difficult to say which 6SN7 tube is best. We all have our preferences and our systems vary greatly. For my system the Melz just stand out and hit all the marks although several others sound great just different. I also like the ... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @trivema well here’s my 2 cents on my Melz experience. I did a lot of research on forums and most of the forums talked about the holed version as the best. But I did come across some praising the solid plates if you get the older ‘50’s version.... |
