| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? Yes, Littlefuse has always made ceramic fuses but up to this point their offerings have cost a dollar or so at the most. The economy of scale that they potentially have in manufacturing does make one curious as to how these compare to standard iss... | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? I need no persuasion as to the lack of any sound reasoning or science behind "audio" fuses. I'm simply asking if any believers in the congregation of audio fuse purchasers have formed an opinion about Littlefuse's offerings? No need to re-argue t... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? @ shkong78 - Yes, sometimes memorable concerts aren't the best the could have been. I had long wanted to see Ali Akbar Khan, the great Indian sarod virtuoso. I finally got a chance to see him near the end of his life, around 2005 or so. He was far... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? The most intensely involved musical performance I've ever seen was by one of north India's best classical sitarists Budhitya Mukherjee when he visited Tampa twenty years ago. From the instant he sat down to play his intense concentration and demea... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing Just wanted to make sure you weren't using an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, that would be a mismatch for sure with the Project phono stage. I agree with Elizabeth that a better phono stage would be preferable if finances allow. A quality phono stage con... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing Which Ortofon Bronze are you using - 2m, Quintet, or Cadenza? | |
| Let's talk power cords @ pawlowski6132, you asked for specifics, here goes. I've installed a PS Audio BHK Stereo 250 amp recently and have been working to get the tonal balance of the system fine tuned to my liking. I had few power cords to try, none terribly expensive;... | |
| Steve Tibbits Glad you've discovered Mr. Tibbetts, he's one of my all time favorites. I've purchased everything he's released over the years and he never fails to reward with interesting music. "Safe Journey" is my all time favorite. His collaborations with Cho... | |
| Get well Dickey Betts He's had surgery to relieve the intra-cranial swelling and is reported to be doing better. Let's hope recovery continues on course. | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! I would caution you to temper your expectations, expecting a "very substantial" upgrade from your speaker cables is a tall order in my experience. Like Elizabeth, I found money was much better spent by proportionally spending more on interconnects... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs In addition to all suggestions made so far, you can entertain yourself in near perpetuity perusing Arkiv Music and Presto Classical's websites for further ideas and reviewer recommendations. Any composition you are interested in can be searched by... | |
| Charles Lloyd & The Marvels + Lucinda Williams "Vanished Gardens" I'm a great fan of Lucinda Williams and Charles Lloyd - as individual artists. When I heard about this album I checked out the music as well as several stage performances on YouTube. Glad their collaboration gives pleasure to Mofimadness. However,... | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with I agree with the negative comments so far, this latest update is the worst "improvement" I have ever seen on the site. The circular previews are horrendous graphic design and make it harder, not easier to scan listings of interest. The old text l... | |
| JL Fathom repair I can only encourage you to do it the right way and send it back to JL. Their service program is second to none. For a reasonable flat fee they go through it and replace anything and everything that is possibly suspect or is in need of replacement... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! @ 25105 regarding Voskhod 6n23p tubes. As to their sound in the BHK250 - warm in the sense that the mid range seems to have slightly greater emphasis, lots of "air" around instruments, treble is detailed but definitely not etched, bass isn't fat o... |
