| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? 1. Cardas or AQ caps for unused XLR and RCA I/O connectors on all your components. Don't realize noise exist until it's GONE.2. Synergistic Research RED Quantum Fuse. It replaced HiFi-Tuning Supreme fuses and the improvements are excellent.3. Syne... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES After much consideration, my Sony HAPZ-1ES is at MW for the mod. I'm intrigued by Dan's transformer coupling design and simplicity of the HAPZ-1ES. It replaced 3 boxes/2 pcs/computer/digital cable with 1 box/1 pc and HOPEFULLY much much superior s... | |

| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? I was told materials used in making NOS tubes are no longer available or banned so quality suffers. Telefunken 12ax7 and 12au7 ribbed plates are my favorite. Telefunken e88cc is very good but I prefer 60's Siemen e88cc. In my components, Siemen e8... | |
| Audio Research Reference 250 capacitor issue This is something they should sell you a cost.How can ARC stay in business if sell at cost?Seems like they are making a profit off the back of a defect.It appears to me Veerapaneni had a cap failure and not all white caps are defective.
