20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
This discussion i right up my alley. For years I have owned electrostatic speakers, the last pair being the upgraded Sound Lab M-1PX with hotrod backplates and a few other goodies. When I got my first Sound Labs, priior to these, I powered them wi... 
New Esoteric P02 D02
Regarding the use of the G-0rB clock: a cheaper way to go is to get the G-03X and drive it with the Stanford Research PERF10. This solution seems to do the trick

I have both the small and big supremes. I just replaced the big one outside. If there is one inside I did not look. Maybe Larry Kay will advise.

I concur with everything Pipedream says. My unit has been used over 600 hours, and it is finally smoothed out (I leave the unit on 24/7 and have used the Isotek burn in CD a few times over the period). One last thing: using the XLR output for the ... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
I would agree with all about having a good power cord. As usual, anything in the analogue mode picks up interference. The "loss of clarity" occasionally mentioned, I think, is the removal of that etched quality found in many studio recordings. Wha...

I just read the review, which taught me more about frying eggs than anything else. Something alluded to in a letter in this month's Absolute Sound indicates that there is an increase in forwardness of the image. In my system (Sound Lab M-1 PX elec...

Without a doubt, the Hi Fi tuning fuse is worth the money. I had some delay, because I ordered the wrong size. It seems to smooth out the sound and remove a small amount of grit. 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
I ordered the fuse this morning (small 3AG 250V 1 amp). When it arrives, and after a few days break in, I will report. Meanwhile the Qol keeps getting better. I now think that an excess of 200hrs. is minimum. Also, the use of XLR interconnects is ...

I know that the polarity of these things is critical. There is usually an arrow: does it point in or out? I remember having to fuss with this on my EMM Labs digital setup.

What model of Supreme fuse did you use (amperage and slow blow vs. fast blow)? 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
All right!!! Lets go back to 78's, the first direct to disk. I even have an Edison cylinder player from 1903. I plan to listen to Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs tonight.

Great video. Actually, I was compelled to use monaural LP's when I first started teaching music at UCLA. The then Chairman of the Dept.thought that the sound was more "honest." (of course, he wore two hearing aids.).

The Audio Research SDP1 operates as a matrix unit in the analog mode. Ordinarily, you would take a preamp output and connect it to the SDP input. I used the second output of the Qol and put it into the input of the SDP. I am not using the front ch...

My advice: don't waste the output on the sub, since directionality is so little in low frequencies. I am running my sub directly out of the preamp. I think that you are correct is stating that the Qol should have been a multichannel device. Rememb... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
Ozzy, you are correct. It has to be heard in the system you know best. All of us know that swapping out or adding components is really the manipulation of checks and balances. I would like to hear more about designer fuses: I have hi fi tuning fus...
