Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32
They also state that the fuse is directional. So try it both ways. I know it sounds strange but just before I put the original back in I reversed mine and it sounded like the stock fuse. I will wait a while before upgrading to the blue as I just u... 
Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32
Took a good 75 hrs to break in for starters. What impressed me the most was a slightly better control of the music overall. Kind of like moving up to the next level of power cord without the huge expense. To verify what I heard I put the stock fus... 
Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32
That's a 2 amp slow blow fuse rated at 250V. 250mA would be too small a rating. You should get the exact rated and sized fuse that you currently have. Not go bigger or smaller as rated and never go fast blow in place of slow blow or visa versa.As ... 
Power Cords
Ricred1 If you have a Raidho dealer nearby you should check out Ansuz. There is a new V2 that has just been released for the Aluminum/Ceramic/Diamond line. The Aluminum V2 is pretty much in your price range. BTW there is no aluminum in the cables....

Matching octave with audio physics codex speaker
As an ex Octave V70se/V110 owner I have to highly recommend the super black box with those speakers. It lowers the noise floor and gives a hair more headroom.  
Focal sopra 2 or raidho d2?
Disclaimer - Raidho owner here2 very different speakers/sound. Focals will need a larger room. Raidho D2's work much better in smaller rooms because they are a more near field speaker. The D2's should be about 9ft or more apart to sound the best. ... 
Raidho speakers..any interest ??
@kin Funny you mention diamond feet. I was never a believer until my local dealer brought over a pair of D2.1’s w/diamond feet for me to demo and break in. I currently had D2’s. After a couple of weeks I asked him to bring over the standard feet a... 
Using contact cleaner in tube sockets
Could also be a loose pin in the socket. I had that same problem in an Octave V70se and it was loose pins in one socket 
Raidho speakers..any interest ??
I have D2.1's driven by an Aavik U300. Before I had the U300 I had D2's powered by an Octave V110 integrated tube amp. The Octave was really good until you pushed it. The lows just fell apart. Then I got the Aavik.@cronoglidesky As far as the U300... 
Amplification for Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE - strange results obtained so far
fritz_28  I had owned both the C1 and later the C1 Sig. I have heard the Coutour 3.4 and 3.4LE. IMO the 3.4LE is a more lively sounding speaker compared to the C1 or the original 3.4. For that reason you may want to look at a 'warmer' sounding amp... 
Aavik U300 vs DEVIALET D400
First the U300 doesn't have a BNC digital input. It's RCA and my source is a Naim Unitiserver which does have a BNC out. I use Toslink from my TV to the U300 due to the length. The Toslink was about $50 and my digital cable is the Ansuz DTC/pwr bo... 
Aavik U300 vs DEVIALET D400
I heard those side by side about a year and a half ago driving Raidho XT3's. As I recall they sounded very close with the slight edge going to the U300. The U300 had a hair more control over the music IMO. We did also try with and without SAM and ... 
Lars Kristensen and Michael Børresen leaving Raidho ...
I'm sure Mike is eventually going come up with a new speaker. I have a DTC pc and Digital cable and they sure do kick butt!! Talk about clarity without losing any musicality. Looking to replace my Ceramic pc from the MainzD8 to the Aavik U300 with... 
Lars Kristensen and Michael Børresen leaving Raidho ...
Besides a great speaker demo person he sure knows how to demo Ansuz products as well. Michael is the brains behind the products. I've been at 2 different Ansuz cable demos and Lars has been at my home demoing Ansuz a couple of times. I have even h...
