| HiFi-Tuning German fuses opinion Elduende, if you decide to buy a new hi-end fuse try this before installing it. Remove the current fuse, wipe the tips clean, and re-install it. See if that alone provides some improvement. Then, try the new fuse and see what you hear. My guess is... | |

| 4 ohms to 8 ohm speakers? For some reason the link I provided doesn't seem to work, at least on my PC. The thread name is "Dunlavy 4 or 8 ohms for Audio Research VT-100 amp?". You can do a search for it. | |

| Dunlavy 4 or 8 ohms for Audio Research VT-100 amp? This is one of the easiest tweeks to try, and I would encourage others to experiment as well. It costs you nothing, and could make a dramatic difference in the amps ability to deliver power to the speakers, especially in the low end. Remember the ... | |
| Dunlavy 4 or 8 ohms for Audio Research VT-100 amp? Andy, it won't hurt the amp or the speakers hooking your speakers to either the 4 or 8 ohm tap. Try both and listen for which sounds the best.

| Vandersteen 5/Quatro Owners... I spoke to Richard Vandersteen at CES today and relayed this question. He said the PC on both the 5A and Quatro are excellent and recommends using them. Besides, they are the ones he used to "voice" the subs. I hope this helps. | |

| Dedicated AC Lines?? Topaz is no longer in business, however, their products are excellent and can be found used in electronic surplus houses of larger cities. I located 2 4kva isos for $300 and have seen them on the internet at $500 plus shipping (both far far less t... | |
| Dedicated AC Lines?? My lessons learned are similar to Laks, as I have evolved to 6 dedicated circuits with Hubbel outlets, 1 for each for the 2 subs, and 1 for each component (amp, pre, cd and phono). The latter 4 are on a Topaz 4kva iso transformer. An important add... | |
