  1. Cool keep us posted I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks Dave
  2. I have an ST70 with a Curcio Audio mod and thought about changing it as well. I am not real impressed with it. What are you going to replace yours with?
  3. If I had only 1k to spend on a SS amp I get something in the order of Bryston 3B you can find them for around 600.00 great amp over a 30-year-old SS you have to throw more money at for updates. By the time your done mind as well save a few more dollars and get a Pass Frist Watt amp.
  4. You might want to check this out as well. I build the Cornet 2 a few years ago and it was an excellent sounding phono stage. https://www.haglabs.com/products/cornet3
  5. Just pick this one up the other day Anne Bisson Blue Mind on 180g blue vinyl
  6. I would say no seeing there is no sound passing through it. It's there to protect the AC line voltage, I would think there would be more influence on the sound after the power supply than before it. Also if there so magical how come Hi-End manufacturers don't put them into their amps if I were paying 10k plus I would expect something better than a 2 dollar fuse.

    Dodd..

    I got to know Gary Dodd back in 2002 spent some time at his house listening to a number of different amps he built. All sounded excellent one was his 8 watt to which I had him build me one I just loved it very well made all point to point wiring. I used a few different preamps with it both tube even a SS one. Then I had him again build me a preamp to go with it but I really didn't care for his preamp it used one 6922 per channel again built very well but it just didn't do it for me sound wise. I ended up selling it and later also sold the amp for something with more power. He was a true craftsman and a really great guy it's a shame he's not with us anymore.
  8. No audio passes through these fuses but yet some are warm sounding, even bright and detailed. They have much better ears than I do I just don't get it.
  9. I do alphabetically with the exception of Classical and Soundtracks I keep them separate I plan to move things into their own genre like blues once I get over certain number of albums.
  10. That was awesome thanks for posting it Maynard
  11. Very nice congratulation on your new amp and preamp
