Don't hold your breath.Like any other claimant, they can still win me over with proper evidence that their stuff works better. I guess I'll be waiting a long time, though.

But remember, 3 lefts do make a right! Totally scientific.Two wrongs don't make a right but then this is the wacky world of audiophilia where the laws of physics are suspended and, like in 'Stingray', anything can happen in the next half hour.
Define 'silence'! Don't go to the forest and try to prove to me what happens when a tree falls...A Gedankenexperiment: If one installs the fuse backwards and also installs one's one-way interconnect(s) backwards, is the net result silence?
AC, DC, LGBQTIA++: none of that matters. It should work for all the same!Now how does that work for AC fuses?
Stingray...?!?Two wrongs don't make a right but then this is the wacky world of audiophilia where the laws of physics are suspended and, like in 'Stingray', anything can happen in the next half hour.
I have now from my sarcasm.soulution 760 D/A converter
soulution-audio.com
A 50000 Euro DAC.
I asked if they would kindly provide me with some measurement results.
Is that supposed to be impressive?I have now from my sarcasm.
I was taken seriously and sent a measurement protocol.

If I were a millionaire, I would probably spend a few hundred thousand euros to buy hifi from this company. I am serious about that.
it is as good as it gets. At this level you are limited by the measurement instrumentsIs that supposed to be impressive?
Are we looking at the same plots? The one I'm seeing shows a second harmonic at about -110 dB with third and fourth not far below. That's quite far from "as good as it gets." The frequency response also starts dropping off already at 10 kHz. It's probably audibly indistinguishable from any other reasonable DAC, but those figures are not in any way impressive.it is as good as it gets.
It is interesting looking. And I bet those pointy feet add a ton of warmthStingray...?!?

I don't recall him as snake oil. He was pretty honest about what he was selling.Saw this Carver HR-895 in front walkway of some apartments.

It's been there over the weekend and still no takers! Perhaps because it weighs ~40 pounds.
Was Bob Carver the best (snake oil?) salesman of his era (although, he offered people what (he thought) they wanted)?
How about a £4200 fuse?
Quantum Science Audio (QSA) Silver Extreme Level UK Mains Fuse - 3A, 5A & 13 Amp
Future Shop proudly presents Quantum Science Audio (QSA), a leader in the audiophile fuse industry with extensive research in 'Bottle Neck Distortion'. QSA fuses are designed to enhance audio systems, a crucial component historically overlooked. These fuses focus on reducing 'bottlenecking'...www.futureshop.co.uk
''Much of this may sound outrageous, but only to those who have not had the chance to hear it for themselves.''
With more than 22 years of research into what they call 'Bottle Neck Distortion'
read the linked review, it's unintentionally hilarious. I'd post a few gems but it won't let me copy and paste. The 'designer' appears to be making 'scientific breakthroughs' every couple of months, resulting in more and more expensive fuses, each better than the last. It's risible.And everyone else who's not dead from the neck up calls "Huh???"
I tried to include the replied to post but I am late to the game, thinking it was deleted. That said @BALKAN_RAKIA - right on point in your reply. But to tell you the truth, lemme repeat a comment made in the past - as a general rule most peeps claiming super impressive credentials while on the magical thinking side of the argument... well, are lying!Not enough. Needs more details about who your friends and family are and other random facts about your career in business administration and real estate.
Have you tried changing the cables inside the speakers and the amps or these cables don't matter?
"With that $399 they could have bought themselves some nice gold-plated optical cables."
