| Expo Me too, and it’s right down the street from me, how convenient can it get? | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 @kosst_amojan, we shall see if and when a No.3 comes to be. For me it will be about the timing as I'm planning to pull the trigger on new speaks shortly after the Munich show unless there is some real news about a bigger Kanta that would give me ... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 There have been a few mentions here of a new and bigger Kanta No.3 coming soon, yet I’ve seen no info to that extent even from Focal when I inquired. Since I would likely be all in if this were the case, I’m wondering if the anticipation for such... | |
| Absolare vs Zanden Cannot provide input on Absolare tube amps vs Zanden, but for what it's worth, I can comment on Absolare the company.......superb customer service and orientation, while my Passion Signature integrated (a huge expenditure for me), is the only piec... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hey PTSS, not sure what you need but it is pretty straightforward.......remove the top cover on the Sony, locate the 2 fuses toward the middle of the unit and pull the old fuse out of it's horizontal holder (I used a device, don't know what it's c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks Frank, it's always a nice surprise when we discover things that we never knew were missing, especially if one loves music.....and of course the music should always be the end priority but with the recognition that even better illusions of r... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi PTSS, there are actually 2 fuses in the Sony, both are Small (5x20mm), 3.15A, Slow-Blow types. I only replaced one of these, after a discussion in this thread back in October with Brownsfan here: https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1357579 | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Admittedly I was skeptical about what a little fuse, which I remember buying for a nickel a pop in the old days, could possibly do for sound quality. After following all the fuss here, mostly positive though paying close attention to the persuasi... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Like the aforementioned "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", I think many Jimmy Webb songs have an evocative and haunting quality (Adios, Wichita Lineman, etc).Also take a listen to the great Bonnie Raitt pull on the emotions with "I Can’t Make You Lov... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hey Brownsfan, never thought I would so completely ignore my dac/transport, but having my own personal jukebox with 7,000 tunes (so far) at instant disposal and great sound is addictive........random play is my favorite way to listen to all that m... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, Brownsfan, that is very interesting. The HAPZ1 already performs at a decent level, I’ve found it equal to a Berkeley DAC/Sim Moon transport combo in my system, which kind of shocked me. If it can be made to improve upon that performance le... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Good point Brownsfan, I figured when you mentioned Dan that your's was modified, so I'll experiment with 2 fuses to see what is what, thanks for the clarification. Since you mentioned it, was the MW mod worth it, and do you happen to know the cos... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks again Brownsfan, didn't realize you actually described all of this in your previous referenced post, I certainly appreciate you posting those results again....... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hey thanks Brownsfan, that is very interesting and good info to have. Do you suggest purchasing just the 1 fuse and trying it in both locations to see which is which or would you be able to ID the location of the one I would need? I guess with t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks for the input Les & Al, guess I'll need to look before I leap just to be sure.....will need to purchase a BIG magnifying glass cause my near vision sucks but what the heck, also have an EAR preamp that I will likely re-fuse too so might... |
