| Synergistic Red Fuse ... From what I’ve gleaned looking around for reviews, the "Inspire" amps from Dennis Had have been pretty well accepted. I’d be interested to read otherwise since I’m considering a lower powered SE amp in my rig. Jmcgrogan2…feel free to suggest some ... | |
| Pass xa30.5 vs First Watt F6 I read recently that Nelson Pass is going to have Pass Labs make his First Watt stuff now…a good idea as I don't see any advantage to him building these things in his kitchen (metaphorically of course). | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I don’t think geoffkait’s snarky and self important comments advance the charlatan’s position much at all, especially when he continues to list a pile of mostly useless pseudo tweaks as proof of the power of the unexplainable. Also, I've met Denni... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just watched an interview with Dennis Had (youtube) as I’m thinking about buying one of his Fire Bottle amps…at around 31 minutes he comments about silly tweaks…gold fuses…Inspiring? (pun) Also, to explain what I meant about "predatory marketing s... | |
| What year did tube lose to SS It's been interesting to see during my 5 decades plus long career as a pro guitar player how SS stuff attempted to get into the guitar amp market. Weird Fender stuff, Gibson "Lab" series amps (actually one of the better ones), the extremely popula... | |
| Tube Life Artifacts To deny yourself the experience of the "High Fun to Expense Ratio" of tube rolling seems to ignore the fact that life is too short to not at least try to enjoy new things. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... So if a fuse, the design of which includes a tiny, hair thin wire since it's designed to melt instantly if needed, is a "bottleneck" to the AC in any device in which it's used, then why is the equally tiny wire in, for example, an SR fuse, allowin... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... A fuse can have a significant effect on the sound of an audio system when that fuse melts. Suddenly, no sound. All fuses that hew to proper ratings, and are made by reputable companies (Littelfuse…been around forever, their stuff is first class), ... | |
| Pass Labs XA25 amp? It's my understanding that Pass Labs will be manufacturing the First Watt stuff now. Not a bad thing as it should allow for a lot more of 'em. | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp As mentioned earlier, the "55" was late in the Forte line and consequently may have more normal output transistors instead of whatever the IGBT things are. I also had little luck in tracking down info on these (hence the original post) , but suffi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fuses are exactly the right size to do what they're supposed to do, work perfectly at this in zillions of applications, and "Special Fuses" are the same size as non special fuses, except SRs maybe since they might contain smaller wire that sometim... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When Almarg notes he's influenced by the opinions sited here, I think, hey, this isn't the "magic fuses don't do anything" crowd, it's the "I have sensitive ears and spent the money on special fuses and think they work" forum. Biased? Who knew? I... | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Just noticed gdhal's response to my satirical doctor's terminology, and realize I should perhaps practice some sort of mirth control. | |
| Too Much Power? He's right…all the "low quality" these days is part of the fact that we're all doomed…"They way people work and think in audio it will never get better, but worse. When you don’t change there is no way back." Personally, I'm taking Bo1972s advice ... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? My relatively ancient Linn Basik table has huge hollow rubber "feet" that really do the job as far as keeping unwanted vibes out of the thing. There's a sub near it and it has no idea. You can't adjust them for height but miraculously the table it... |
