| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp @helmholtzsoul - When I bought the Duelund CAST-PIOs for my Carys; I asked which lead was the outer foil. "Doesn't matter!", they said. I've had a habit of testing everything for noise/best performance, before committing to an ins... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp @atmasphere - Perhaps I should have said, "That's why there have been so many theories and theorems." ie: ... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Inescapable FACT: No one understands exactly how electricity works. That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY. The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is ... | |
| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? Happy listening! | |
| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? @itsjustme - In my book: informing another on ways to prevent catastrophic failures (ie: upgrading rectifiers, etc), BEFORE they cause them (ie: by installing biggest capacitance possible), is simply sagacious, but- that’s just me. ... | |
| Vinyl Repair? "Pre-divorce" advice: If you have a well-appointed sound room, KEEP THE HOUSE! Far as the vinyl (unless you have the hands of a Neurosurgeon), look here: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/102335... | |
| Need a new PCB board for Cary 303T Pro and don't know how to find it? Depending on the severity/extent of the damage; the traces of most PCBs can be bypassed and components replaced, by someone with the talent/experience. Of course: most of your CDP’s circuitry is surface mount, which makes things more t... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @twoleftears - This is just a guess and I suppose there may be other reasons, but, perhaps: "Biggest issue is that it does not inhibit oxidation of the conductors. That has to be taken care through other means." | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! When I bought my turn-of-the-century built home: much of the remaining wiring was still varnished cotton insulated. As cotton was recognized to be a not-so-great insulator, that kind of wiring was threaded throughout the house, captive ... | |
| Effects of DC charging cable’s insulation a la Audioquest? @emailists - You're welcome and happy listening! It's fun out here, at the edge of the Earth, isn't it? | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question I'm sorry, "...VALVE..." (in case there are any Brits in the audience). | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question Not certain about many of the NOS rectifiers, out there, but: a Mullard Blackburn, GZ34, in pristine condition, will always bring above $150, from what I've seen of late. One reason for the demand and price, is the presentation, which... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Regarding that dielectric polarization/break-in time factor: My first SR power cable (Reference A/C Master Coupler, w/Polyethylene), didn't have their active shielding and MPC. Took quite a while. That cable's feed... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question Keep in mind: there's a plethora of variables, between that 5AR4/GZ34 and what you ultimately perceive (media/components/room/ears/brain/perspectives). OH, and: NEVER accept info, from a bogus* Intelligence Operative! ... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question +1s, for those that recommended NOS Mullards as the go-to, for tube rectifiers. Especially: look for those manufactured in the Blackburn plant. In SS, linear power supplies: upgraded rectifiers and regulators, ofte... |
