Ummm...like...well...yeah. Yes.
I’ve never, and I mean never, blown a fuse on anything in my life, and unless I’m mistaken my Maggie 1.7i’s are the first loudspeakers I’ve had that employ fuses. I was somewhat hesitant to adhere to the whole megillah “upgrade” in Mike’s kit at first, but after considering how conservative my listening level is I thought that to NOT employ it as it is designed for would be downright silly.
Replaced the stock fuses with the hollow tubes, slipped in the black jumpers, hooked up the ribbon cables. Easy-peasey.
Yes, the upgrade, the “tweak”, the mod or whatever you want to describe it as, improves upon an already impressive loudspeaker. Methinks the details are more keenly etched when they should be, the bass articulation is taut, organic, without artifice or bloat, and the mids/highs are, as they were to begin with, magically life-like. I believe I’m also enjoying a better defined soundscape, particularly on live recordings.
I don’t know a mosfet from a misfit, don’t know an electronic microfad from a fashion micro-fad, (such as bell bottoms or man-buns) but I do know this makes a palpable improvement on my 1.7i’s. They’re just a few weeks old right now and I’m happy as hell.
