Maybe all together help to make...

    LDMS Server

    Yes! Big difference. I swapped 5 purple to master since October. Another one is on it’s way. But purple is still a very good fuse. Imo better than Orange, AM Ultimate, AM M1, etc. I‘m living in Europe: 4A is ok, SR fuses are underrated. Pls ask LD before you change it.

    Audiophile Fuses

    I mounted another two SR Masters right now. There’s an improvement from the 1st second, but what I hear now is by far not the full potential of this fuse. It will definitely sound way better after a ~200-300 hr burn in period. No idea why you didn’t hear any improvement from any fuse o_O

    Audiophile Fuses

    Long story short. You can’t plug in a brand new fuse in expectation it sounds perfect from the first hour. Most fuses need +\- 200 - 300 hours to burn in. In this time it’s possible that the system sounds crap for a few hours/days… I mostly let them bake in the PSU from my modem or switch which...

    Audiophile Fuses

    I just upgraded with another two SR Masters… These things are really something special. My hifi buddy also bought four when he heard the improvement in my sys. Before I tested a load of tweaks, cables, tubes, plugs, quartz, etc. I thought there are many crackheads around in the audio scene who...

    What are some great 300B SET amps $5-7K?

    I received a parcel from Ukraine today: This is the first remote control from Sound Design Atelier in this new design. Thank you very much Sherii (@Sound Design Atelier / @SVS) - It looks much better in real life than in the photos I previously received! Love it!!!

    What are some great 300B SET amps $5-7K?

    After a little carpentry work, the monos are placed in the sideboard. They are now well burned in and the sound has setteled in. The Symposium Svelte Shelf also helped to make the amps sound a little clearer than when they were sited on the furniture before. Will test other footers and fuses in...

    Zeiler Audio

    The speakers are a kind of a modern interpretation of the Altec and Tannoy studio monitors of the 1960s/70s, also with a 15-inch coax chassis and 97dB efficiency.

    Zeiler Audio

    We‘ve met Zeilers the first time at a little hifi show in Switzerland called „Klangschloss“. What we heard there was different to other exhibitors. They let the audience choose the music and did not only play jazz, blues, classical, but also techno, rock and music that one would rather expect in...

    Hey everyone I got the sound design atelier SE-33 demo units from a. g. to try it in my system. All I can say: „These monos sound amazing!!!“… Very accurate, clean and dynamic. Not to warm but still like a tube amp. That’s exactly what I like. No pipe and slippers music but still organic and...

    LDMS Server

    I‘m also using a sr purple in the hybrid psu. A fuse can be a great and not so super expensive upgrade. To get the best out of each component every possible tweak’s necessary imo. Cables, fuses, footers, platforms, tubes and a few of these esoteric vodoo things also work well. To me it’s worth...
