| Purple Quantum Fuses really? ricevs You can get copper foil with conductive adhesive for practically nothing. You can use it other places too. You only need to wrap it around once.....if you make it too thick it will not go into the fuse holder. The copper foil also damps th... | |
| Purple Quantum Fuses really? Make mine a spotted one, so it’s camouflaged, as the best fuse is no fuse, just a solid brass bar. https://ibb.co/wrJ1D0g!!! please don't do it, it's a test piece for techs and is dangerous to do)Cheers George | |

| Integrated to drive GoldenEar Triton 2's? Theses are great speakers and deserve great amplification.You want an amp that can do 4ohm without breaking a sweat.https://www.stereophile.com/images/212GT2fig1.jpgMost solid states will do this, and at 91db efficient you only need an amp that ca... | |
| Class A amps I know you consider Pass Labs products as well designed Yes they are, and that’s where it ends for me, much prefer the sound of Nelson’s Threshold amps he designed using bi-polar outputs. I don’t like the sound of Mosfet output amps, and that they... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? There’s 3 electrical parameters in poor quality cables that "can" influence the sound.A combination of Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance, which ’’can" create filters with the output imp... | |
| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging.
