    If someone comes in and doesn't read the rules or introduce themselves before proclaiming that they have absolute knowledge of a major(ly debatable) easy $2 fix on a high end DAC, and especially if they have the word cocaine in their name, sure the right thing to do is point them to the rules and introduction threads but chances are they'll get destroyed here regardless.

    They're definitely not reading the room, they're just busting in and blathering on about nothing. It's noise unless they can back up what they're saying with at least SOME qualifying information.

    I make my own cables. From Copper and Silver/Gold foils... yes they make a difference, sometimes quite big ones.
    I've constructed over a 100 different type of cables, from USB to interconnects, power, to speaker cables. Rebuilt and upgraded entire amplifiers. Rebuilt crossovers from scratch
    Everything makes a difference, some things matter more than others.
    It's just so annoying, I have the DAC, I have done the work, ands these overgrown children, that won't even spend 1 dollar to buy a ceramic fuse and try it out for themselves, just attack in droves.
    Maybe this site isn't a good match for me like some of these people said.

    The 2 dollar ceramic fuse works, no matter how loudly you morons scream to the contrary.

    My dick is bigger than yours.

    That is a summary of your last post, and you didn't even look at the forum for awhile to understand the culture...geez.

    yes my dick is bigger, and you guys are acting like I slept with your entire family.
    Buy a 1 dollar ceramic fuse, and try it out, why the personal attacks?

    And it doesn't matter how high end a DAC is.......The Glass fuse is the weak link. The filament vibrates as electricity passes thorough it, and the glass casing amplifies it., creates distortion. A simple Ceramic fuse with silicate partricles (sand) in the cylinder will stop most of these vibrations. Both fuses cost exactly the same amount of money. so ***TRY IT*** for your self, or keep your mouth shut about things you know very little about.

    The Holo Audio May KTE comes with a high end Audiophile fuse straight from the factory as an upgrade from the lesser models. Bark up that tree, and ask Holo Audio why they consider that fuse an upgrade.

    I know you are too lazy. that is why you hyenas attack people that actually do the hard work.
    Stay fat and ignorant

    Everyone dash yourselves upon whichever rocks you prefer. Godspeed.

    EDIT: The name-calling is really begging for a ban. It's fine to get riled up by people not sharing your enthusiasm for fuses, but you clutch your pearls over people disagreeing with fuse rolling then jump to telling everyone to go f**k their fat lazy selves in a few hours. Go or don't but this isn't the outrage emporium.

    Yes, feel free to ignore everything others said and do not provide further specific details and insist you're right.
    Show something to back up you can walk the walk and let's discuss in depth. Saying you built copper cables is a right laugh, 4N,5N,6N,7N, stranded, litz, rectangular, dielectric, geometry, length, isolation, connectors, solder, location, purpose, gauge etc.?

    For the fuse, how do you explain the large bank of PSU capacitor and regulators were the sole purpose is to be a reservoir of energy to filter the DC current and squish ripple to microvolt values? Also how does the AC distortion go past the rectifier diodes and into the DC voltage? Genuinely curious about this as I'm looking to improve PSU designs. I've done testing on the PS Audio P15 with different fuses, it has an in built scope and shows the incoming THD to the DSP engine, it's always at the same value regardless if it's a glass, ceramic, furutech or other posh fuse.

    Moving further why does the wire in the fuse vibrate but not other connectors inside the DAC or cables?

    In your experience, is any PSU immune to such fuse changes or is the wavelight particularly sensitive. Say if you do a three stage pi filter or extensive regulator design, is the fuse still impactful?

    And to go further, the fuse in the mains panel, doesn't that add distortion or is it superior to the glass ones?

    I LISTENED.......
    I got off my fat ass, and listened for myself.
    everything you are saying is theoretical, it's all conjecture.
    It's akin to a virgin dude sitting at home describing how being inside of a vagina feels like.
    Do the work, stop theorizing. Listen for yourself before attacking others that have done so.

    You tell someone to stay fat...yet...

    You call yourself a fat ass.

    BREAKING: Six Moons and Positive Feedback accessory reviews are above criticism because you haven't listened to the items being reviewed, ya loser!

    You guys are 2 much.
    Keep cycling gear, no tweaks for any of you Einsteins.
    Listen to the whatever, what do I care.
    Peace.

    Did you ever visit the local vegan cafe and try to tell them all how great steak is? That's what you're doing.

    You say you've listened. No, you didn't even start listening. If you ever do, who knows, you might find some common ground for communication. The last thing audiophools ever do is listen.

    Why do these guys always sound like they found a damn secret no one else knows about like GD cult follower. "THE END IS NEAR! REPENT YOU SINNERS!"

    Anyone without self awareness has no place here. I too had to gain some emotional intelligence and I thank you guys for those hard lessons, but damn. I've never seen any one insult the whole group and wonder why no one is listening to their ideas in the same breath.

    Alright, well I change my stance. I just tried a new fuse and I can't say it is better just yet because of break in.

    But now I am curious what other tweaks can I do to improve my system?

    ITT: people who are already insane because they spent $2-5k+ on a DAC get butt angry at someone who suggested a simple tweak and use this as justification to act like nasty human beings towards him

    there will be karmic consequences for this unprovoked hostility. may God/Buddha have mercy on you all

    P.S. fuses make a difference. don't @ me
