    I've never written that I consider the AMR Gold Fuse better than the SR Orange, as I've never actually compared them. I use SR Orange fuses in the Ayre QB-9 and the Schiit Freya, and I bought the AMR Gold Fuse for the Audio Resarch VS115 only to know its sound, but I never compared it side by...

    Audiophile Fuses

    Everyone wants to get the best possible with the least amount invested. This is logical, this is smart. But, when it comes to audio, it's rarely possible to buy something that, in a specific price range, effectively stands out from the competition. The market is already well leveled in this...

    The AMR Gold fuse is really good, considering the price of 14 pounds I paid. Anyone who wants to upgrade the original fuse without spending a lot of money, buy this one. There's nothing extreme, but the sound is beautiful and better than the Bussmann NOS that I had been using on the Audio...

    Audiophile Fuses

    The Orange, on Ayre QB-9, took a month to be completely stable, but only the first two weeks were very critical. I believe that this depends a lot on the energy demand of the equipment, and that equipment with higher consumption tends to be stable more quickly. As I stepped out of the original $...

    Audiophile Fuses

    I've already tried Synergistic Research fuses, Hi-Fi Tuning, Furutech and others. I never found a transformation like "night and day", but in the right places, with the right sound combinations, they always seemed to be worth what they cost. In the case of the Orange model, which I recently...

    For me, the Synergistic Research Orange worked and very well. I can't tell the differences for Black and Blue, but it isn't possible to deny the improvements brought by Orange. It's also superior to Furutech TF (which I had), but I would really like to know the performance of Ultimate Beeswax...

    Audiophile Fuses

    The only fuse I have in the system is the one on the Ayre QB-9. I made sure to install it on the correct side (indicated on the card that came with the fuse) and put it on. But, as Ayre is connected 24/7, the burn-in period was relatively quick. Even so, there were times when listening with the...

    Audiophile Fuses

    This fuse from Synergistic Research, the Orange model, really takes time to be completely stable, and I still don't know if it really is, despite more than 500 hours of operation. Its behavior, from the first moments until at least five days ago changed a lot and frequently, going from...

    Testing RAM with different brands and models, seems to have more difference than I thought

    Maybe you didn't understand my question: which brand and model of RAM do you prefer and why? I understand that each one plays in a certain way, but what is your personal preference? Could you describe the sound of some models you tried? It would make my life much easier if there was already a...

    Testing RAM with different brands and models, seems to have more difference than I thought

    You talk about "my preference," "my choice," "best sound," but, after all, what memory are you talking about? Which, in your opinion, delivers the best sound and why? Among the Corsair Vengeance, Kingston, Apacer and others, of various series and models, is it possible to identify a sound...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    A hobbyist told me that network cables are specified to be at least 1m in length, and that minor measurements can be harmful to network cards, cause malfunctions, and are unable to make electrical isolation between devices effective. For him, it must be at least 1m long. I set up two network...

    Testing RAM with different brands and models, seems to have more difference than I thought

    Marcin from JCAT and others users (most of them from Audiophile Style) have been wondering about Apacer industrial RAM (https://industrial.apacer.com/en-ww/DRAM/DDR4-Wide-Temp.-UDIMM). Have you been able to try it? I've been using Corsair Vengeance memories for many years (DDR3 and DDR4), but my...

    Why Do Different USB Cables Sound Different

    The problem of the diffusion of knowledge is that everyone thinks himself knowledgeable. Just ask about the differences of USB cables that appear countless "recipes", as if everyone knew how to build a USB cable. Write about USB cables and you'll see things like "bit is bit, everything is 0 and...

    Totaldac D1 vs. Wireworld Platinum 7 USB Cable

    Excelent! Considering what I readed here, if Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 is in the same leve of quality than TotalDAC USB, but sounding in different way, so, Curious cable is better than both? The price is very attractive! My friends says that I need an Audience or a Purist, but these...

    Jcat launches the new, 'Femto' USB card

    Hello Elberoth. I'm new in the forum and really interested in your impressions. I use a computer with Win 10 + CAD scripts. Is the change to Server 2012 + AO really significant? What software is used? Another question: does anyone compared JCAT v2 with the SOtM tx-USBexp with sCLK-48.0 clock...

    Totaldac D1 vs. Wireworld Platinum 7 USB Cable

    Hello guys. It's my first post here. Currently, I have a Wireworld Silver Starlight 7 USB, and I'm interested in an upgrade. Between SOtM dx-USB HD and PS Audio DAC, I have a Wireworld Gold Stalight coaxial cable, so, I think that maintain a digital cable of the same brand will be very...
