| Fuses that matter. The following is my experience replacing the standard fuses in my integrated amplifier with Hifi Supreme Tuning Fuses. The amp is an ARS-Sonum Filarmonia. It has maximum output power of 30 watts RMS per channel at 8 ohms. Its output stage uses a p... | |
| Fuses that matter. Hifi Supreme Tuning Fuse replacing main power fuse in integrated ARS Sonum-Filarmonia 30 watt E34L tube amp. Improved separation, more realistic all 'round. Not dramatic, but noticeable. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Hard to explain, but true: I have Merlin Master VSM's. For two years they have been spiked to the concrete floor under wall-to-wall medium pile carpeting. I've always felt that there was some undesirable deadening of the low-to-mid bass going on. ... | |
| Seeking DAC $300 For $750 for the non-USB version, I purchased the Schiit Gungnir. Everyone who hears it is blown away. I have a very high resolution system: latest Merlin VSM speakers and ARS-Sonum amp. What I have now with the Gungnir is, without a doubt, the be... | |
| Anyone in New York with Grand Veenas? Yup, there are still old bigots who laugh at the "N" word. Just takes time for them to die off. | |
| Latest Merlin Super BAM upgrade Yup, that's the next step step. Saving up for Cardas Clear speaker cable. I promise you will be the first to get my report from the surface of the moon : ) | |
| Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000 Schiit Gungnir. Buy it, listen in your home for 15 days, if you don't like it, you pay 5% restocking charge. $750 without USB, $850 with. I just bought one and think it's a great value. | |
| Latest Merlin Super BAM upgrade Testpilot: Not to get into a pissing contest, or anything, but I don't care if you find my comments "credible" or not. I don't expect anyone to take my word for anything. I assume that anyone reading what I write about my subjective experience und... | |
| Latest Merlin Super BAM upgrade Agreed. Got mine on Friday. Has had the weekend to settle in. Wow! Just. . .wow! | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker Follow-up:The latest upgrade involves a rewiring of the BAM with Cardas Clear wire. Merlin has hit another home run, IMO.Here is what's even better:- An even more natural presentation as far as sound-staging and spacial accuracy.- More tuneful bas... | |
| In what price range do I need to go for a Dac ? Never heard the Bifrost, but I'm currently auditioning their Gungnir. It's extremely impressive. And at $750 (without USB, $850 with), it's a stunning value.(Merlin Master VSM's and ARS-Sonum Filarmonia / Mac Mini and Audirvana Plus software) | |
| Budget of $30K. Help me build a system I have Merlin Master VSM's with Master BAM and ARS-Sonum Filarmonia and Cardas cabling.All I can say is that, set up properly, you will have a world class system that will bring you many, many hours of enjoyment. I am currently waiting on the very... | |
| Best Upgradeable DAC ? Listening to the Schiit Gungnir as I write. Have had it for 24 hours now. It's very impressive. I'd give it a listen. | |
| Speaker cable frustration for Merlin vsm mme Audience AU12e. I used these with VSM's for several years. They were recommended by Merlin manufacturer and I thought they were very musical, although not as revealing as Cardas. |
