Quantum Science Audio Thread
An update after yellow fuse in Lampi Pacific for 30 hours.  Definitely can hear a difference.  The tonality is more pronounced and I am hearing more detail even at lower volume levels.  Tomorrow I add the yellow to my Pre-amp followed by my mono's... 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
George -  while I appreciate your science and opinions about fuses, we have all heard them countless times.  I am not an audio engineer and I just love to listen to great music.  IMO fuses matters.  I would like to hear from more people like mysel... 
Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B
I am interested to hear feedback also.  Unfortunately, I need 16 300B tubes for my mono amps.  That is super pricey.  I currently have Golden Lion and they have been ok but I am having to bias them a lot. 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
Installed Yellow into my Lampi Pacific yesterday and have had two days on it.  I did try to paste the 1260 to the end caps but it was almost impossible to install without losing it all on my fingers.  I still have 3 other components to install the... 
List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey.
I have tried upgraded power cords, cables, fuses, tube swapping, PPT products, isolation platforms, power conditioners and noting changed my musical experience until I added a Lucas Audio LDMS Music Server to my Lampi Pacific.  I would put this Mu... 
Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
I have a high end system and am 100% digital.  I have a 8tb music server that is loaded with music so I have a lot.  I also have Tidal and Qobuz.  I find myself going to Qobuz more than even my own recordings.  Tidal has more artists but the sound... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
I have Canary Grand Reference 300B mono amps.  There are 16 300B tubes.  When I purchased the amps, I purchased Golden Lion tubes.  In talking with Canary they stated the biggest game changer for sound in their amps is not power cords, fuses etc, ... 
Qobuz vs Tidal
Thanks, I am still experimenting with both but will probably end up going with QOBUZ. I think the resolution is slightly better 
What is the most important component to consider while building a new system?
Speakers for me.  Never buy an amp and then try to match speakers to it.   Then if you get WAF, room acoustics. 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
Congrats -- I guess.  Are you referring to the speakers or the 300B amp?  Also, it is hard to make judgements right out of the gate.  Tell us more after at least 50 hours of run time.   
Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews.
I am functionally blind and as a result most of the time I resort to voice activation.  Many times it does not type what I say.  Therefore, if you see comments from willgolf, know that I barely can see what I type.  So if there are mistakes get ov... 
Music Servers, Do They Matter?
LalitkWhen I got my Pacific it was replacing a Lumin X-1 which I loved.  IMO, there was not much of a difference in performance between the X-1 and the Pacific.  That is why I made the comment that I probably didn't need to buy the most expensive ... 
Music Servers, Do They Matter?
I received my Lucas Audio LDMS Music Server.  Does it make a difference?  I would not have believed it until I heard it.  I have a $30k Lampi Pacific Dac and I thought my sound was great.  That is until I started up the LDMS.  The sound quality, t... 
Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good?
I have had 4 different Lumin Players over the last 7 years and love the Lumin App.  It is easy to use.   
NPS-1260 Connection fluid
I have used Perfect Path Technology Graphite and the 1260 and both products produce great results in soundstage and clarity.
