| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? Biconero117,A cursory review of Audiogon's listings reveals that hundreds, if not thousands of audiophiles *are* very concerned about re-sale because they are trying to "work their way up" to better sounding equipment. For wise shoppers, buying eq... | |
| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? I've heard mods done to a variety of DACs, amps and preamps. John Hillig and John Wright are masters at this and their mods are absolutely worth the very reasonable sums they charge. However, most of their mods are in the sub $1,000 range. I think... | |
| Classe ca-2100 vs ca-2300 Aball,You've owned and listened to a lot of equipment. I am not an electrical engineer nor am I a designer. While I don't disagree that power is a primary difference among the amplifiers discussed here, it is not the *only* difference. My experien... | |
| B&W 800D or Sonus Faber Futuras They are *very* different speakers. The 800's are great at dynamics, bass slam and are quite balanced across the spectrum. With the right electronics, they can almost disappear. The Sonus Fabers are very liquid sounding and are great at presenting... | |
| Steve guttenberg How would you feel if some of us started a thread called Harley52? Could make for some amusing reading. Kidding aside, moderators on audiogon are an odd bunch. If they're going to let someone randomly rant about another person, why moderate at all? | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Thanks for the tip, Peter! | |
| Fuses that matter. Turboglo,I can't think of a single audio component I've ever owned or listened to that didn't sound better after a few days of continuous use. Witness how reviewers at shows who return to rooms usually notice improvements. I agree that it may be c... | |
| Fuses that matter. Al,That's quite a can of worms you just opened. ;-)I have sent an email to the owner of Hifi Tuning. I'll post if I get a response.V. | |
| Fuses that matter. Al,I really should refrain from posting after 11pm. My attention to detail declines markedly. Yes, I meant 5x20mm. I'm just curious as to whether you think one should generally be concerned with the specs of after market fuses produced by reputabl... | |
| Fuses that matter. Al,I am no engineer, so I'm certain I poorly paraphrased the fellow at Classe' but he was quite concerned with the safety of using anything other than the Littelfuse fuse because of the extensively described measurements in the data sheet to which... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg,The 2300 and the rest of the new line have received universally stellar reviews and are actually innovative in their design. It's quite possible that Hifi Tuning or Synergistic may one day create an upgrade of this type of fuse. They are conti... | |
| Fuses that matter. Sorry about the typographical errors. | |
| Fuses that matter. Houston...we have a problem. I was just told by the person in charge of tech support at Classe that he believes only one or two manufacturers inthe workd mae a fuse with the specs required by the CA-2300. He said it wasn't enough to just get a 12 ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg, I had just learned the 12.5 was available...but the Time Lag terminology was throwing me off, Rodman99999. Many thanks to both of you! This is great news. I'll post the results of adding the Synergistic fuse once I install it and burn it in. | |
| Best Power Cable for less than $100 A week comparing the Venom to *anything* under $300 should save you quite a bit of money in the long run. If you can't hear much difference, stick with the cheapest aftermarket cord you can find. I suspect the choice will be clear, though. |
