Quantum Science Audio Thread millercarbon,I believe you put the QSA stones on the output transformers of your amp? If so, did you leave them there? I’m considering getting another set of all three, and that’s where I’m thinking of putting them. | |
Quantum Science Audio Thread t_ramey,Can you elaborate on the improvements you heard going from the Light Blue to Yellow in your DAC? | |
Quantum Science Audio Thread Just swapped the SR Orange fuse back into my amp, replacing the QSA Light Blue. Please note that the Orange is treated with TC, whereas the Light Blue is not. Although I kind of understand what Frank is saying about the midrange with the Orange, I... | |
DIY Hifi Django Mini TVC Pre After the initial break in, the Django Mini just seems to be getting better and better in my system. It brings marvelous clarity, transparency, openness and dynamics, along with a relaxed musicality and flow. Lyrics are more discernible, and all t... | |
Quantum Science Audio Thread The stones are the real deal. Like millercarbon, I put all six (2 of each color) in one place, on top of my power conditioner. I could experiment, but I am very happy with them there. I figure all my components are benefiting that way.I recently u... | |
DIY Hifi Django Mini TVC Pre The Django Mini passive TVC (Transformer Volume Control) is certainly not for everyone. It is a minimalist unit, with only a 24 step stereo volume control knob on the front panel. On the rear panel there is one pair of RCA inputs, and one pair of ... | |
Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? I had an SR Orange fuse blow, just like it was supposed to, when I was being careless. No damage to me, or my equipment, but an expensive lesson.I don’t believe any audiophile fuses are made from scratch. They are buying standard fuses in bulk fro... | |
audiolab 6000 CDT transport Any issues with the slot loader scratching CDs? Also, are you able to use any kind of mat on CDs with this mechanism? | |
Speakers for triode tube amps Another recommendation to look into Audio Note. I have an old pair of AN-E/Ls (92 dB efficiency). I am driving them with a 2A3 SET amp, 3.5 watts, and they will play way louder than I can tolerate, without distortion, in my modest 11.5” x 11” room... | |
Quantum Science Audio Thread millercarbon,I just put all 6 stones on top of my power conditioner (CPT Equi=Core 300) that feeds all my components, works great. | |
DIY Hifi Django Mini TVC Pre Finally got my Django Mini in today. I hooked it up, and the initial results are very promising. It seems not many have experience with the latest Silk transformer version of the Django, so I’ll post an update after it’s broken in and I get a hand... | |
Quantum Science Audio Thread I know t_ramey has a pair of red stones, has anyone else tried them? I would say that a pair of each color stone (6 total), on top of my power conditioner, has made a more dramatic improvement than putting light blue fuses in my transport, DAC and... | |
