| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Will do although I have a lot of stuff, mostly that which I don't want to mess with, coming up so that will likely be a project in the unknown future. Please post any more experiences you have a well and thanks! | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please steakster: I picked up the titanium rod from McMaster-Carr. You can probably find purer rod elsewhere and make sure you get the 99% titanium as there are many alloys out there, that is unless you get something like the platinum or palladium allo... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please steakster: Welcome to the sluggos club! Yeah, it's kinda mind-blowing just how much of an improvement is wrought by subbing a solid slug in place of a fuse. And the variation in sound from the different metals is much more than I would have ant... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: I've been meaning to do a write-up on all the slugs I have on hand but just haven't had the time or energy to really get into it yet. At the moment, I have copper, silver, titanium, tungsten, and molybdenum. I recently found that... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging hickamore: check hifishark. There's a pair for $2500 now and, if you look under SOLD section, you'll see a good deal many have sold in the $2000 range or less, and I've bought many pairs of older speakers without crossover issues. I'm sure it's... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging You might find a pair of Legacy Focus in that price range. I have a pair of DIY speakers of a similar size and design and they filled a 24' x 28' room spectacularly. They are also quite efficient so you could bi-amp with tubes on top if that's y... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used I had the AZ MC2 and it was a completely adequate digital cable, but I tried a Neotech NEVD 2001 so I could use BNC at the transport end and found it bettered the AZ in just about every way by a slim but noticeable margin. Of course, the Neotech ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please rx8man: This sounds very promising. How does it compare to the titanium on inner detail and image placement? And did you try pure silver? I'm supposed to be getting the tungsten and molybdenum slugs tomorrow. I'm going to end up with a nice b... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? bigtwin: you're absolutely right. It made perfect sense to me at 2am last night but that would be with a signal passing cable and that's not what was being discussed. Mea Culpa! | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? from tennisdoc56: By what method/electrical theory does a power cord improve the contractor grade romex in your walls? Please avoid explanations in biology such as sees, senses, feels, prefers. Not being sarcastic I googled the following... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? My first "audiophile" power cords were Kimber Kords, the early ones with the plastic sheathing. These were a minimal step up from the stock cords but, of course, my system was FAR less revealing then so it's hard to tell just what they did to the... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: so, to use the SFB, you need an extra power cord? Do you think this could be causing the slight reduction in fidelity or the box itself? Will you be trying the rhodium sluggo when available? With the holiday causing a back up i... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please tksteingraber: I biamp my speakers as well but haven't installed a slug in the bass amp (D-Sonic) as I've had it go into protection mode a few times without really being pushed so not sure what's going on but don't want to take a chance. What ar... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please lemonhaze: Did you try any other slugs than the copper? In my experience, copper is, by far, the least impressive. The silver was quite an improvement in pretty much every way I find important, and titanium was quite a bit ahead of the silver i... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please larryi: I'm not much of a DIYer but I think you have a good idea. May I send you a slug of a TBD material and you can try this for yourself? I would be quite interested in your findings |
