| Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses Geoff,Thanks for chiming in. I will admit that Steve McCormack is a devotee of SR fuses and he knows audio gear. | |
| Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses Thanks for the insights, gents, much appreciated. As you have noted, fuses blow for a reason, and I think in my case it has been due to poor connections with my interconnect cables and me fiddling with gear on rack. I plead guilty! I ordered s... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Thanks for the insight, it is valuable. I have had a ton of tube gear, including a HK Citation C-II and C-V, fully restored, and lots of other tube amps and I parted with them for solid state amplication. I might revisit my affair with a tube am... | |

| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Rectilinear III's were my first fine speakers and still are, to my knowledge, excellent speakers. I had HK Citation I, II, and V components, all upgraded by Don Sachs, but I got tired of tube gear. My first TT was a $100 AR TT with a modest Shur... | |
| DAC OR NO DAC??? I agree with Bob in his recommendations above about the Ayre Codex (often available for $1200 used) and perhaps about the Schiit Gungnir. I have had 5 DAC's priced under $1K and found no significant difference in their performance. However, I go... | |
| Class D Audio You guys are missing your calling as stand-up comedians... this is some damn funny stuff. Thanks for a damn good laugh to finish my day. It is the best medicine and might be of some help to Tom. | |
| Dac Technology Mature? No question DAC technology has matured. I had a half dozen DAC in the past several years priced under $1K and recently picked up an Ayre QB-9 DAC and the SQ improvement was stunning. The fact of the matter is that you have to spend north of $2K ... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Nonoise,Peggy Lee's version of that song is one of my all-time favorite jazz tunes and would be apt. Great post! | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers Kdude166:My friend, if you are only gonna stay on the "buy" side of transactions, you will have a houseful of gear over time. Yeah, I say the same thing about drinking after having a couple too many the night before, then I come back to reality. ... |
