| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've been following this thread for some time, most informative on web. Thought I would relate some of my experiences with fuses. Most have been positive, use SR Reds in some of my equipment. However, I've had problems with blown SR fuses in two o... | |
| Audiophile Fuses Charles1dad,My systems page needs to be updated, much has changed! The Coincident Turbo was purchased when Art Audio was at tech for power transformer replacement. I should be getting back AA in next week or so. I've also changed out coupling caps... | |
| Audiophile Fuses Jea48,Correct, 6.3amp slow blow came with amp. One more thing, I also noticed the Synergistic Red Quantum fuses were slightly smaller diameter than Rat Shack fuses.I had to pinch contacts on Coincident screw in fuse holder to tightly grab the syne... | |
| Audiophile Fuses I am having no problems with the Rat Shack 6.3amp fuses in the Turbo. I've never experienced blown audiophile fuses prior to these two in this amp. This includes the Blue Synergistic quantum fuse in my Art Audio Carissa Signature, another high cur... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Clabe, I agree with Bobby on the Mundorf sound. I've tried the Mundorf Silver oils in various places in my system, thin out mids and brighten highs. I've heard the Mundorf golds are a bit better in mids. I will only use Mundorfs as replacements in... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM I've heard the same improvements the previous posters mentioned from my Duelund caps, tx2575 resistors and a recent upgrade from stock ceramic power supply caps to Z Superior caps in SBAM. Natural timbre of Duelunds, increased resolution of tx2575... | |
| Joule Electra LA-450ME I have no doubt that a good measure of the sound improvement in the 450 is due to the Mundorf and Vcap upgrades. The stock caps in Joule are a weak link. Modding out the caps in my LA 100 MK. III transformed the sound! | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Yes, I agree the cap on RC network is critical, changing this out made a larger difference than adding the bypass on the HOvland tweeter cap.I should also add that the hardness I speak of is mostly an artifact of the recording process. I mostly he... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Hi Bobby,My system is comprised of highly modified Perp. TEch digital, Vpi Scoutmaster with 10.5i arm, modded Joule LA100MkIII, Art Audio Carissa Signature, all Cardas Golden Ref. cabling, single run of speaker (bi-wiring), AC power-dedicated and ... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Joneill, I recently placed a Russian FT-1 cap on RC network, very nice, takes a bit of hardness off mids and highs. I then added these as bypasses on 6.0uf Hovland tweeter caps, more of that Hovland hardness eliminated.This mod together with the D... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Agreed, these are great caps. I'm using them in the SBAM at this point, trying to figure out a way to mount them in crossover. | |
| Rumble from Thorens 160 how to eliminate? Check out the mods at theanalogdept.com. I've done most of those mods and more, my 160 is nearly as quiet as my VPI. A well isolated stand is also critical. | |
| Enough detail or too much? I agree with you on all of this. On the detail front, what I think you're hearing with a live orchestra is a multi source phenomenom. Each instrument (point source) has its own individual dimension of sound (image), mixing all these individual ima... | |
| Todd Rundgren Best of Lp's I like Todd's music, but I have to say a 1976 performance was perhaps the worst concert ever. About a quarter of the audience left prior to concert ending, and no demands for an encore, I think that a singular experience. My friend and I only stuc... | |
| SET vs OTL Larryi, I don't agree that the low level dynamics and clarity of my 845 SET are lacking in the least. In fact these very things are improved vs. 2a3 monoblocks, push/ pull tubes and SS amps I own or previously owned.I would agree that my 845 amp c... |
