Justin & Jerry's Hifi Blog

Mmm.. I would have gone for the preamp first as it's earlier in the chain . TBH it only takes a couple of minutes to swap the fuses around anyway . You would also be surprised at how a DAC will improve with a better power supply . My Denon DAC improved markedly when I substituted the wallwart with a quality linear PSU , so I would try it there too ( unless you like to use the properly rated fuse for each piece of equipment ) .

A fragment of packing polystyrene had worked its way behind the power meter glass, so I took her top off to get it out ...

New arrival for my vintage collection.

I think I'm in love all over again. :)

Cool. My uncle just gave me a Beogram, but I have no idea how to work on linear trackers. I have to do some reading.

I've just this minute plugged a Linear PSU into my superhub and initial impressions are very good indeed :uhho: :sofa:

My first port of call would be the plug feeding my mains block . Are your amps plugged into the mains block too ?

Where are you fitting the next SR Black mate ?

EDIT : This linear PSU into the Virginmedia superhub has yielded a very nice improvement in SQ BTW . Looks like it will be staying put :D

Told Ya! :) (Again)

Have two SR Blacks in my lash up so far:

* Internally in digital Source (Logitech Transporter)
* IEC Fuse in my Densen Pre

Bigger jump with the Pre, and my original WT(actual)F! post was about the improvement I got with the Transporter.

...next up the IEC fuse for my Dac's linear PSU.

In 30'odd years of hifi hobby-ism, I've never blown a fuse yet.

My 2nd SR Black fuse arrived today.

Where to put it?
Tried pre-amp --- mmm, no definite sq improvement. Real disappointment. :(

Moved it to the power amp --- ah, yes, better focus, more transparency.

Hmm, curious. Maybe they don't benefit low current draw devices?
But the 2nd fuse is a keeper, too, for the power amp.

Might try it in the DAC.
