Any Audiophile Fuses UL approved?
PADIS fuses are UL, SEMKO and PSE approved for use worldwide. I can't vouch for any of the other fuses though.My only caveat for PADIS fuses are that they tend to impart a darkness to the sound. It's really easy to hear. Technical notes:The PADIS ...

The Science of Cables
All of this back and forth reminds me of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2V3jm_Dxc&frags=pl%2Cwn . 
In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment?
Another way of saying what everyone seems to be pointing out, for me, is that when everything gels and there's a convincing lack of hype in any parameter you care to mention.With that, the music simply flows and unfolds before me with nary a surpr... 
Jay CDP3 or CDT2 + Terminator?
Actually, it states on Jay's Audio site that the CDP2 and CDP3 uses a version of the Soekris DAC in the player. Googling the insides shows it.I've also been interested if anyone has heard it as I can't find a single review of it online.All the bes... 
A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers??
It's a nice gimmick.👍 I say this because by the time you "hear" the speakers, the sound will be nothing like what It does sound like if you were to actually hear them.All the best,Nonoise 
What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ?
What they said. 😀 
Big Data, Big Brother
It's like they're trying their damnedest to be telepathic, the ultimate voyeur, the peeping tom you can't get away from. I see why some long for days of old.All the best,Nonoise

It's too late my friend. I've had similar experiences where I've called some place and they generally knew what I was inquiring about. It's like screen sharing without the permission. Nothing is sacred anymore.😞All the best,Nonoise 
Esoteric A100 Service Nightmare
When I make a joke that may be in doubt, I just use an emoji at the end of whatever it is I said, unless it's obvious, but even that is a value judgement in and of itself, so to speak, if you catch my drift, lest it go over your heads and lead to ...

Kinki Studio EX-M1
Mik Powell, who sells the Kinki stateside, covered that a few posts ago, or came very close to it. He runs Magnapans with it and has no problem but feels the Kinki is current limited. I'd ask him for his take on how they'd pair with your Martin Lo... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
I can't answer as to how the Kinki will pair with your Martin Logans but as for the PADIS fuse, I ended up taking it out and replaced it with a Brimar fuse. At first, the PADIS sounded promising but after lengthy listening sessions, it never resol... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
I, myself, can't explain it other than to say that with the -6db switch engaged, the volume will have to be turned up a bit more to hear things. With your very efficient speakers, that would be a nice feature to have.All the best,Nonoise 
Kinki Studio EX-M1
t_ramey,I have the first issue/version of the EX-M1 which doesn't have the attenuation switch on the back so someone else needs to chime in on that one. Somewhere, in this thread or another, I think I remember someone stating what that value is.Th...
