| Fuse for Concert Fidelity Dac 040? A few years back they were shipped with 1 Amp fuses...the last year or two they have been shipped with 2 Amp fuses. I will have Hajime re-verify this with Masa. I should also mention this is for Japan or the States where the voltage 100-120V. If y... | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Hello Agriculturist,We had a similar experience with the inexpensive Hegel HD2 reclocker. There may be better converters, but it works great with the DAC-040!We do sell both Hegel and CF.Archon | |

| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Jim, I'll take your advice and stay with the 20A. The amp has the same transformer size as a Levinson #33 (10 kVa total), and I read that people were using 240V x 30 A or larger with those. I thought it made sense to do the same.Thanks,Mike | |

| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? NGjockey - Ha ha! Yes, I work with several EE's and technicians...I will invite one over to help, and to check it. Thanks for your concern! | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Jea48 - Yes, as you mentioned, I will connect to a 2 pole breaker (2x 120V). The wire is #10 awg and will use with a 20 amp circuit...(or maybe 30A??) This makes sense to me. I guess I'm worried that there is no neutral wire going to the amp, shou... | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Guys, thanks for all the excellent responses! I now have some receptacles and plugs. I bought 2 different types because I was not sure if I needed a 3 or 4 wire (Hubbell HBL2320 and HBL2410) while at the store.I should have mentioned that the amp ... | |

| Reference Transports: An overall perspective "The interesting little feature" (upsampling in the transport) that Teajay mentions on the Ensemble Dirondo Drive, also eliminates the need for a "clock sync" cable. This seperate "clock sync" is something that is found on some of the best (at lea... | |
| Burmester If you have the cash, Burmester should be great for that type of music! IMHO, the Burmester digital is up there with the best and if you like dynamics and bottom end weight (which normally goes in hand with the type of music you mention) the Burme... | |
