Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

[sparkfuzz]

Also include fuse info and why T2A is the right size and amperage

I am assuming the fuse you need is in correlation with your Voltage output as there are different AC voltages specific to where you live. 120V 60hz USA and 240V 60hz Europe. Maybe someone can suggest the fuse for people in the US and people in Europe? Thank you

Id always check with the manufacturer first for ratings but sound wise its quite suprising how it changes the sound. I tried a few brands but Synergistic research changed the sound but cost 1/5 of the Singxer.. It drives me crazy they do.. it shouldn't.... but lIke the Amps it is a choice if you like it.
120v regions check your fuse..
Ill pass on impressions when my Singxer arrives....

Really sad you are selling your gear @domiji please don't leave us!

Also, how does this improve the sound?

Yes, I still did not understand that part. I get it that when I put those jumpers on I will crap on my pants or something like that because of how good it's going to sound. Or pee on my panties from the pleasure like julia roberts said. But in terms of sound, what will be the change exactly?, or aproximately? someone said like releasing a hand brake, but, what is that supposed to be, LOL !!!

releasing a hand brake, but, what is that supposed to be, LOL !!!

I have said that the jumper mod is like releasing a handbrake. Not the fuse.

A german hifi magazine measured differences in voltage drops with different fuses (i dont know if this is the correct explanation in english, sorry.)

The guys at the Chinese Forums also recognize differences in fuses with the SA1.

Can you please explain how to do the DC mod with the jumpers? Do you need four jumpers? I have scoured this whole thread and nobody has really said how to do it. Thank you very much

You have have to open the device and put 4 jumpers in this location:

Here are some Informations on the DC mod

Thank you very much for you help!

so what does the jumper mod do soundwise, still not clear, at all. Thanks!!

 

[domiji]

It is definately a hugh improvemend. It sounds more open, punchier with more dynamics and relaxed at the same time.

It sounds a bit like releasing a handbrake

I quote myself for this

 

[Middy]

Basically not using those dc protection capacitors helps. I am suprised that guy on the Chinese forum hadnt upgraded those basic caps to something higher quality. But they built that option in. Premium Caps only cost 50 cents more but margins must be really tight. You void your warranty trying anyway.... you are good with fuse rolling....

Always nothing is free....

 

[domiji]

I know i void the warranty

Trying the DC mod was just fun and i want to see what it can change in the sound. I've already had the fuse in my drawer from a previous device - so i just test it and for me - personally - it made a difference.

 

[Middy]

Its the first thing i am doing when i get mine.. Thank you @domiji for the help..

 

[Lolito]

definately a hugh improvemend

I see, thanks.

*deleted* not worth the discussion

New Knob arrived. not the best knob for this, had to sand this new knob a bit and put electrical tape on the axle to make it fit. Looks good though.
