Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
Hint a non UL approved device with dual polarities available in diiferent shapes including rods and cylinders and in different strengths. Enter at your own risk.

Ok good to know..now for a preamp? Tom

So did you ever ck to see if the jumpers are connected on the Krell"s balanced inputs?? They look like large rounded staples looped from 2 of the 3 pin outs. If there are none of these connected you will not get the drive your expecting even with ...

I have a few foil types I would sell. I have replaced the foils with 49 strand Litz wire in my most current speaker rebuild consisting of Purifi and Via Wave drivers and outboard crossover. PM if your interested in these foils. TomD

If your running single ended cables into the Krell then you need to examine the Krell balanced inputs and make sure the jumpers installed. Tom

First up I would reinstall the original inductors back in..then listen again. Inductors of any type are non inear devices. Tom D.

Imhififan, For fun and a further learning experience you should try replacing what certainly appears to be steel fasteners holding your crossovers in place. I would do only 1 at first as my guess would be an imbalance left to right. Probably need...

Tom Thiel with the recent improvements made to my sound system with my laminar devices it has even made the low bass more apparent as a supplement to the soundstage. This has been a noticeable factor to the landscape of soundstage for years with m...

All of this interference is nearly invisible and maybe at this point is not measurable but can certainly be seen in my mind's eye as myself and a friend have listened here and at his house. When I made my port treatment on my recent speaker rebuil...

Adrian, I am not at a point to release what I am doing. Looking at your system pictures and the shelf over the top of your front wall I think they would make for a great impact. You have many positions I think that would be additive to the sound....

I understand Tom Thiel has been working with surface treatment of a speaker baffle to enhance laminar flow while also reducing interfering energy. This energy migrates back and forth on a vibrating surface and causes a pile up of noise that does r... 
I treated my room !
Over the last year I implemented laminar flow devices I have built and placed in strategic front locations of my 27/21/9 ft room . I also have for years now 3 Natural wool panels on the front wall 1 each at the side reflection points. The laminar ...

68 Robert, Thank you for your positive comments earlier today. I was so excited by what I heard today I forgot to answer you.... Tom D

The Mills are a great value at $5.00 but the Path are much better at $25.00.Maybe the Path's are not 5 times better but for me the difference is significant depending on how many are needed. The Paths are closer to the Vishay bridge builds. Tom  
Thiel Owners
I would not change the inductors but would change the resistors to the Path brand or with the Vishay nude resistors and build a bridge so you can reach a 5 to 10 watt power rating..Cost for the Vishay product would be over $100 per position. Other...
