The IEC damping is likely to help many pieces of equipment which have less than solid IEC mountings on the chassis

I didn’t take apart my friend’s Flux-50 but I suspect his is likely to have this filter built in. The differences were immediately discerning- Compared to a direct plug in of AC cable without the Flux50. Smoother top end , simple female vocal tracks sounded fuller in the mids with what some...

Nice. Sugden makes great sounding amps. I’m using a class A Luxman integrated 550AX2 which isn’t as warm sounding. My goal was trying to get back the sound I had with single ended 300B. So I’ve been trying these Aliex cables as most of my cables were tuned for previous system. Things are getting...

I wouldn’t go as far to say that the cable is so crap that it’s filtering … more like it’s doing what cables do- add a sonic signature.

Similar findings as I just posted. If your goal is to make things less digital and more analogue n smoother , this would be worth trying. I’m not sure though if it’s removing digital hash or what I perceive as ambience and air. So called ‘energy’ and transients

Think of it as ‘ No Fuse’ It’s like removing your fuse and adding a small piece of twisted wire.

I had the Flux-50 which someone asked me to evaluate over a weekend. Apparently it had been plugged in for 2 weeks before so I’m not sure whether that constitutes a full run in. A bit convoluted but I’m penning it down for context. I plugged the Flux 50 to my FiiO LPS which powers an Ifi Neo...

Try it on digital sources. I think it’s a simple EMI filter. Might limit current draw on pre/power amps

Yes but keying it in , shows expired

The 40% code has expired unfortunately. I was tempted 😅 It’ll be labelled the proverbial snake oil by the ASR crowd. But for someone who can hear fuses or different damping feet even in linear power supplies , I think this might be the solution to remove the last veil/grit/dryness in connectors.

Understood. Fuses have a pretty specific value to each individual electronic unit unlike power cords. Just wanna drop anecdotally what a friend who tried the Aucharm cheap white then red on his linear power supply (to DAC) said. 1) it needs to run in like cables 2) when unplugged to A/B , he...

This is the top tier fuse. Did you try the red or black Aucharm before this?

Still waiting for my Odin Gold XLRs to settle down but getting a little itchy to try some terminated speaker cable from Alixexpress.😉 Any recommendations on something that’s really surprised you with it’s performance /value. A short personal opinion of how it sounds in your system will be...

Thanks. It’s set to ‘Line out variable control’ as I am currently using it as a pre amp through the RCA outputs.Does not retain ‘last’ settings if you power off. My own preference would ideally be to have an idle/ sleep mode similar to what’s found on CD players or other DACs instead of total...

Hmm, I lose my pre-out volume settings. It returns to default whenever it’s powered off. I turn it off when I know I won’t be using it more than once during the day. I’ve found it takes about an hour upon power on to warm up to its maximum potential. So I do turn it on earlier when I get home.
