| A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas? If you are a music lover a $2k DAC will not give you the sound quality you are used to with Vinyl. Now if you just want music in the background then any inexpensive DAC will work. I have had 4 Lumin DAC's ...U-1 mini, D-2, A-1 and X-1. Each one... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? P.S. Cables, Power cords, Power Condtioners, fuses, isolation pods and room acoustics all play into the equation. However, that can be done later. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? A very interesting thread with no right or wrong answers IMHO. For me, the first component you want to get right is the speakers. Take your time and don't just buy what the local dealer tries to sell you. Then you match the amp / pre-amp or int... | |
| Amps In Wall Or Conditioner? I have my Canary Mono Amps directly in the wall on a dedicated 20 amp line. All other components including Pre-Amp on InaKustic 3500P PC. I was told by my amp builder to not plug amps into a PC. | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread I have all yellow QSA fuses. I would love to hear from anyone who has purchased a QSA red. Is it worth it? What improvements did you hear? Were you able to distinguish a difference in placing it in only one component? Which component? If I u... | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? I recently purchased 18 Western Electric 300B tubes for my mono amps and DAC. I have not placed them in my DAC but I will tell you they were a major improvement over the Gold Lions that I had in my Canary Grand Reference Mono's.. Way better bass... | |

After a year I added 4 Vicoustic Acoustic Absorption panels and I could not believe how much the sound improved. It cost me $2K. I received a quote from him and... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's @jpan - I was shocked at the level of improvement I received once I add Vicoustic Acoustic Cinema Round Acoustic panels to my walls. I already have 18 HFT's scattered around. The panels aren't even in a position where they would be most effectiv... | |
| Room treaments I have a theater room your size. I added 4x8 wall panels from 4seating.com. I have plush carpet on the floor and nothing on the ceilings. Believe it or not it is almost to much. It is great for the theater room but not for a two channel room.I... | |
| Fuses FM = Fuses Matter.My scientific empirical evidence. My ears....that is all I need. | |
| Fuse degradation? Oh my, the three dollar bushman fuse will get you by, but if you want to hear even more detail and resolution, try a QSA or SR fuse. It makes a difference....agree with MillerCarbon. I can't speak to SR purple because it is brand new but I have... | |
