Yeh I’ll skip it, I have a dCS Vivaldi on home dem so don’t want to risk anything with a £30k Dac that isn’t mine yet…. Thanks for all the help…

Thanks guys. It’s just I have an 0.5A SR Orange fuse knocking around doing nothing. I was just going to give it a try for 30 mins to see if it made a difference. If it did I’d rip it straight out and order the correct rating for it…

I have something here that has a 1A fuse, just wondering if you stuck a 0.5A fuse in it, is the only issue that it will blow quicker if I got a spike or the likes? Or will it reduce the flow of the power going in and effect it's performance/reliability? Cheers for any help.

Connected to what source, speakers, quality of mains supply and in what room? 😉

Hi Mac After listening to the Bartok Apex last night I can say the Apex is a completely different animal to the standard Bartok. I found the Bartok a bit warm and muddy but the Apex is much more lithe, lean and detailed with much tighter bass. They’re so different I would definitely try before...

Update: Well the Bartok arrived, but it turns out it’s the Apex version. When I first tried the standard Bartok I found it sounded very different to my Boulder, being a much weightier sound but it felt like it was rolled off at the extremes. I did like it but it didn’t have the magic of the...

I’d tried a Bartók around 6 months or so ago, but I didn’t buy it as compared to my Boulder I found it a bit rolled off at the frequency extremes, a bit bass heavy and just didn’t have the magic of the Boulder. But, recently I bought an Antipodes player which has tightened up the bass a lot, so...

I’d be interested to hear anyone’s experiences of the difference between the Bartok, Rossini and Vivaldi. I’ve been told by the dealer that the jump from Rossini to Vivaldi is greater than Bartok to Rossini. Is that your experience too? Thanks guys…

Cheers Adam So it’s not really so much of a commentary on how x or y will sound, more of a ‘buy a Honda they’re the best made cars on the market’ sort of idea?

I’ve never spent any time on the ASR site, my experience is limited to the odd post coming up on Google. Just out of interest….what is supposed to be the outcome of ASR’s tests? Does Amir suggest that Dac A will sound better in every system as it measures better than Dac B? Or are they...

Lol very true. Mugged right off. That question is probably worth joining ASR for….copy and paste on every thread repeatedly. In fact we could run a book on how many times I got it in before getting banned….if you wanna set it up for a quid a guess Tony I’ll go 50/50 with you. I bet you we’d...

Like those over at ASR I am no scientist but I’m guessing that: An iPhone bluetooth’ing to a Topping D90 connected to a pair of Genelecs The above would all measure significantly better than the following: A top class reel to reel playing through an Ongaku connected to Living Voice Olympians?

Yes but what would the S(moke)NR be as it went up? 😉
