| Kimber PK 10 Ascent or Triode Wire Labs Digital American For A Digital Source From your two options, I would probably go with the Kimber with Wattgate connectors for a digital source. The Triode Digital American model uses un-plated copper IEC/plug and these are not very high resolution. The brass elements in the Wattgate... | |
| Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!! After doing a lot of testing with different types of power cord and interconnect connectors, I do not actually believe that bare copper against bare copper would be the best solution. It really depends on what your speaker binding posts are. Bar... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? If you can’t get a 1.6A, just bump up to a 2A. I use 2A in Class A based preamps because it give it a lot more authority when the music "hits". That’s the most I would bump up, though.It’s interesting that he describes SR20 as smooth and warm. I d... | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II @james_w514 - I can't do floor standers. I would have to limit the left/right channels to bookshelves because they need to sit on top of my subwoofers. They are gigantic subs that I built myself. They are about the same size as a SVS PB16-Ultra... | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II @ricred1 - are you located anywhere near Central California? lol. Would love to listen to Monitor Audio Platinum, but we don't have any local dealer showrooms. | |
| Best fuses for under $50? PADIS. Wow, that’s so interesting that I had to go pull one of my own Furutech fuses. Surely enough, it does have the Padis "PFA" logo printed on the fuse in addition to the "Furutech" label. Interesting. Research indicates that Padis is a Europea... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? oh, expect a 200+ hour burn-in process for Furutech and anything that's rhodium. Rhodium will go through several painful areas during the burn-in process. | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @nonoise - if you believe the rest of your system is up to par, you could try a Furutech fuse in one component (such as your preamp), and then go from there. You may decide to convert to Furutech one component at a time. However, like I said, the ... | |
| What do I buy? The only Emotiva surround receiver that came out (that I know of) is the Fusion 8100. Keep in mind that this only provide 65 watts per channel when all channels are driven (or 110 watts per channel if you ONLY use left/right). The only way you’d g... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @nonoise - I experimented with the RED fuse several years ago when initial comparing fuses. The RED is probably the most forgiving fuse in the entire bunch that I have tried. It will generally sound good in any piece of equipment that you put it... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @gbmcleod - in my initial posting, I also said to be careful with Furutech fuses. They are very revealing and VERY TRANSPARENT. This means that it will reveal problems or inadequacies in areas of your system that other fuses may compensate for or ... | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II Just following up here, since we didn't get any responses. When doing research on the Monitor Audio, I found the review of PL300 II on whathifi.com. Their negative comments were "Sound lacks a bit of bite and excitement". I didn't really give t... | |
| Need recommendations for floor spike protectors You could just buy a set of spikes from below and use the bases:https://www.parts-express.com/cat/speaker-cabinet-spikes/317 I have seen others take a quarter and just drill a very slight indentation. | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Actually, looking over that list, the Sensata SNAPAK model is really the best choice. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/sensata-technologies-airpax/T11-2-1.00A-01-11AL-V/723-1270-ND/2781059 It is the only one that does not require a speci... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? The comments that say "no fuse is the best fuse" is actually correct. Hardwiring A/C straight into the power supply allows full current capability without the restriction of the fuse. However, this is a safety issue and there is no potential pro... |
