NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>

@oregonpapa ,

Frank, may I ask where in Pennsylvania you were?

"The noise floor with all the stuff I have now is so low it is spooky the stuff you can hear." Halloween is early, eh millercarbon?

Sure. We were in Erie.

 

@Frank, I use neither Bybee nor magnets. When I received my paste it was dry and hard and the little make up brush had been used before by somebody because the bristles were stiff. The instructions that came with the kit claimed the paste had a shelf life of 6 months. I emailed Tim about this, he replied that it has a shelf life of 5 years. When I queried the discrepancy he again replied that there was a mix-up with the instructions. He said to just soak the brush in some water until soft.

I then asked him if I was to believe that the printers took it upon themselves to say 6 months. That won't happen and if it did was there no proof reading before publication?

I bought the bundle when first advertised because I thought it might be promotional only for a limited time. I was still building/renovating the listening room and opened the TC pack about a year after receiving it. I was not happy to then find the paste was out of date especially when nowhere on their site was it mentioned that there was a shelf life.

I was now dealing with Krissy who to compensate sent me 4 mats free.

@darkfrank, let me suggest you try, only temporarily, bypassing the fuse of concern with a solid copper rod or a jumper wire soldered across the fuse. This will now be your reference, that is to say it can't be improved upon for purity. Once your ear/brain has heard this then try and find the fuse that gets closest to your 'reference'

This is what I did and selected a SR Blue but it was not long before I bypassed the fuse, not with a jumper wire across the fuse but by soldering a wire across the fuse terminals.

Let me be clear, I am not recommending this other than as an experiment.
