Hi Guys

A little help if someone know the answer.

Anyone knows what are the value of the blue capacitors in the image? 0.1 uf ? ( 0.1 uf is just for example so you can know which value i am talking about)

I have ordered 2 Black Discus Nano Donuts for my two LKS toroids. Bob seems a very friendly chap and I used the Head-Fi discount voucher code.

I look forward to trying them out. If they are successful, I have two more toroids in my preamp and streamer power supplies.
IIRC you also were using copper shields, as do I. Do you still? Please report back on the result of adding the donuts. Thanks.

Yes, I still have the copper shields around each transformer and they will be staying as their effect is good.

I will report on the Donuts as soon as I have received and installed them.

too good have to buy 3 more. for UK plug
Have you compared them with any of the SR fuses?

I have an SR Red in each component (LKS included) and an SR Blue in the input to my PS Audio P10 regenerator.

I see that the Zero is not available in 25mm size for UK plugs. I'll stick with SR.

Thanks for the clarification! I shall make enquiries.

What are the LKS fuse specs that are needed for a US compatible version fuse?

Are there audiophile fuses for the LKS that will give a noticeable improvement at $100 or less price point? I'm looking for best bang for the buck, not necessarily to squeeze out every ounce of performance. I bought an audiophile fuse for the Gustard U16 for less than $50 and it was a very nice upgrade.

I have an SR Red in each component (LKS included) and an SR Blue in the input to my PS Audio P10 regenerator.

How noticeable was the upgrade to the SR red in the LKS? More subtle or fairly dramatic?

Fuse upgrades are always subtle but an SR Red was noticeable in the LKS. The biggest bang for buck was two SR Blues in my P10 regenerator (plug and rear panel) which feeds the entire system.
