| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Interesting post about aftermarket fuses this week from a designer-manufacturer of well-regarded DACs, amplifiers, and other electronics,"Depending the type of product we use transformers in a range between 15 and 30 VA. It means that the primary ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Elizabeth, sorry to disappoint but convincing anyone of anything is not the point of this thread.We are all trying to help Geoff reach 10,000 posts so he can take a break.I secretly suspect taters is a secret agent (or at least a lobbyist) for the... | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions Avoiding spade stacking is just my preference so I don't end up with bent spade connectors. If your plan is to do it once then leave it alone, stacking them should be fine. I move stuff around too much so don't like to be bothered with it. Sinc... | |
| Preamp dillema for McCormack Ultra Platinum I have owned both the RLD-1 (with SMc Platinum-Level upgrades) and my current TLC-1 with SMc Signature upgrades (the best Steve can do). The upgraded TLC-1 is clearly several leagues above the RLD-1 IMO. The RLD-1 Platinum had oodles of drive bu... | |
| DIY Jumper Suggestions One benefit of bi-wiring is keeping the bass current separate from the more nuanced mids and highs. If you run one of your bi-wire speaker cable pairs directly to the LF terminals and then jump the other pair between the MF and HF posts, then you... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Hi Doug, To your question, the stand-mounted Aerial LR5s in the first two photos are the new speakers and the floor-standing Aerial Model 9s in the later photos are my former speakers. Unfortunately, the LR5 photos did not come out well so I plan... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses "By the way, I haven’t read anything herein (could have missed it though) about cases where fuses are not readily accessible and therefore require one to open a factory sealed component and risk voiding the warranty as a result of doing so." That ... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands My new SA Signature stands for Aerial LR5s have a separate (quite heavy) plate that bolts onto the speaker bottom and then the plate bolts to the top plate of the stand.There are two reasons for this separate plate. First, the threaded holes in th... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait and @nonoise You guys were paying attention.I became overly excited when I thought we were making progress.I still find,"so small as to be insignificant" to be the salient point of the entire statement | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait "The question that should be addressed is just how much of a change a fuse introduces,"......"it’s so small as to be insignificant"Bingo! You are getting closer.....just a couple of superfluous words too many - I removed them for you...... | |
| Best standalone music server? Would really be interested in hearing from folks who have used a Mac mini as a server running Roon via Ethernet into a high'ish end renderer like the SOtM triple set and then USB from the SOtM to a good DAC, and compared that to a high end server/... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @douglas_schroeder We might also see a wide variance in total system cost as regards fuses. I would not be surprised to see systems in the $15K+ category using aftermarket fuses, while those in the $2-10K category would not. FYI, system is about... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses 1. Overpriced - B2. Yes; SR, Isoclean, HiFiTuning, Furutech, AMR3. Turning them around makes no discernible difference | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "This is why those who oppose such things as superior cables almost always lack first hand experience with them because they can't afford them and no dealer will loan them a set because the dealer knows they are not a customer and cannot afford ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD To augment my comment below about nothing jumping out as a "clear winner" with regards to renderers/endpoints, it seems the dCS Network Bridge would certainly be one to try. |
