@johnss It seems all the caps used inside Hestia are of good quality. I am not sure though how good the bypass caps reject HF AC noise. (don't know where it is located honestly). All the power cores I am using now are under $100 but has tested having good quality of EMI/RFI noise shielding and 10-14 gauges. I just want to make sure external noise won't bleed into it and the internal noise is shielded tight without polluting other component. PC is one of the two cables I still have hard time to hear the differences as many other claimed.
@lordmelton Hi FI Tuning fuses are great for Power Amps.
This is something attracting my attention. Would you articulate that why Hi-Fi Tuning fuses are great for power amp and (you seem to imply) not so great for a preamp which also utilize a transformer for PS. Thx.
@vthokie83 I will do some more digging into the CPC version to find out why it yields greater resolution and sharper attack despite its relatively lower conductivity—a question I have raised before. In any case, the price is attractive, and appreciate your positive experience sharing with it.
