Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp?

Dorkwad, Correct.  No need to solder them in place until you are sure you like what they do.  I think these do have an additive effect up to a point, at which you probably have enough units that you have the RFI/EMI in the vicinity of you gear canceled, at which point there may not be much benefit to adding more.   One other point.  They don't absolutely have to be wired inside the units to work, although they work better for a specific piece that way.  You could wire the leads up to a standard AC plug with enough wire to reach various pieces in your system and get an idea where to use them by placing them on top of the case.  As I said, my preamp benefits from physical proximity to the pulse gen inside the MiniRef even if it is not plugged into it.  Keep me posted on what you find.

Hey brownsfan & grannyring,

I finally put the Pulse Gen ZX into my Modwright 5400 yesterday.  Yes, I know I've had it for 10 months sitting in my room.  Been making a few slight voicing changes with wiring and came up with an awesome combo using 3 different makers of cables in just my ICs and SCs.   At this point, I've changed 2 key PCs and have finally achieved the organic, natural sound of instruments while still keeping the transparent, dynamic and detailed sound I already had.  I'm finished with getting the voicing done.

Back to the Pulse Gen ZX.  It was pretty easy to place in the crowded MW player near the IEC.  The sound is even better in all areas without any drawbacks that I hear so far.  May get another one for the DUDE.

A couple of parts upgrades to what I already own is the only plans for the future.  Upgrades to my DUDE and Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps.  From what I've been told by previous owners of the mentioned upgrades, I'm in for quite the treat.  No change in the actually house sound of the components.

Thanks for your helpful comments!

Oh, I forgot.  Just ordered 5 SR Blue fuses for my MW CD, Whest phono, and Nuforce amps.  I've never put any after market fuses anywhere up 'til now--been waiting and reading to see if anyone's having any problems with blowing fuses at all.  Seems if the amp rating is correct, there is no more a problem than with the standard fuses--shut things off during storms and hope you don't have a power outage in the neighborhood for any reason.  I keep things on 24/7 except for the storms and going out of town and just an occasional turnoff.

Going from standard to the Blue fuses in one jump should be a remarkable improvement according to my friends who use the SR Black fuses and have continually upgraded as the fuses improve.   I'm excited at the coming possibilities.
