Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
None of this undergrad academic credential jockeying has anything to do with the actual sonics of replacing fuses with slugs by using SDFB. Purely based on the same stubborn pattern repeating without end, it appears Jason was Bourne to be an inte...

@verafiaudio Generous policy! Love it. I have a new preamp in the works, so this is good to know.  
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@lalitk Actually, on second thought, I don’t think any of that matters. Regardless of which outlets are used, I think that you can use short NEMA 5-15p to IEC C13 adapters and expect to fit at least three SDFBs in a "V" shaped orientation, where t... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@lalitk I do understand your issue. I might be able to help figure it out. Of the six outlets in your Mr. T power conditioner, are there any which are unused? Which locations? Also, if you can tell me the distance horizontally between the centers...

The desire to ridicule is revealing of the nature of mind.  
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@lalitk Okay, sounds somewhat likely. 🙂 You're impressions, should you do it, would be interesting to hear about. I just ordered an Audio Sensibility Signature Ethernet Cable, which is a shielded cable that uses UPOCC silver conductors and gold p... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@lalitk Have you compared the JCAT Signature LAN Gold to the Muon Pro streaming cable yet? I'm wondering about this match-up because they are very close to the same price.

A lot but not all of the noise people refer to in digital systems is of frequencies beyond the audible range. Both this noise and noise that’s within the audible range has a distorting effect on the purity of the signal, and the audible effects of...

@recklesskelly I totally respect your position on fire safety. Everyone should have a capable and charged fire extinguisher. @thyname Looking forward to your untreated copper to treated copper comparison. Personally, I never ended up sticking wit...

Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@thyname I got the polishing cloth idea from someone else's comment on a different internet discussion forum. But once people start trying the whole process I just described, I'm sure it will become the standard. Order the cloth and find the alcoh... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
The best is full polishing with both sides of a Connoisseurs gold jewelry polishing cloth, then clean with 99% isopropyl alcohol using a microfiber cloth, then insert into fuse holder, all without skin touching it. Maybe wear nitrile gloves, or ju...

Well, it's an extremely simple test that anyone can do themselves. Unempirical speculation isn't really necessary. Step 1) Take out your Sluggos, handle them with your fingers getting sebum on them, then put them back in, and listen. Step 2) Tak...

@ozzy What makes you think I'm "getting carried away"?  
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@thyname, @wig and other SDFB users: I found out today that, whether or not you’ve polished your Sluggos, wiping them and handling them only with a clean, fine fiber cotton cloth when inserting them into your fuse holder is very important for high...
