    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Funny how some people think a fuse is a 1 way gate with a leak. The generation of AC swings both ways during rotor rotation from North to South.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Someone may want to encase a diode in the glass fuse tube. Now we are talking directionality. Probably sound 1 way!!!! Whatever that is....

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    That 220v wire feeding your fuse panel is directional. It needs 20 years to burn in. The 13.6kv to the transformer needs an additional 5 years. Your point that a amplifier or speakers with a fuse requires a directional one is ludicrous. It is taken out of context for the intended purpose. Lol.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    I certainly understand the situation quite well. I guess that the boutique manufactures of such items appeal to a fool who's money is easily parted. Carry on.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    You get the point. So some asshat spends big bucks and claims he can hear angels singing on a pin head due to a fuse. Great.

    Fuse and Cable Directionality

    Is the current to your speakers A/C? Is A/C directional ? If the fuse is between the cable doesn't the current move in both directions.

    Genesis II.5 bass amp not powering up

    Gary, In all due respect, I would bet that if you ask Paul McGowan or his associate for schematics as I have done, they would be kind enough to send them for the older Genesis. If they are "lost" then how is it that some schematics are available from PS Audio? I get it that there may not be any...

    Here are some schematics from Paul McGowan at PS audio. Theses are for the older servo bass amps and should help us Genesis owners keep them going. If I get more information I will share it with everyone. Happy New Year. MAK

    Frequency response is everything!?...

    You can try the hang loose convolver. The number of taps you use effect the lip sync delay for A/V usage. Lower them a bit and see how that works once you find a filter you like. Mitch Barnett developed the convolver with auto rate switching. For FIR filters you need to use RePhase and REW...

    Upgrading Genesis II's

    Guys and Gals, Good news for any of the older Genesis speakers in need of the 48" and larger ribbons rebuilt. During my room construction I have been looking for ribbon rebuilding alternatives for the G2. A gentleman suggested I look around at the Carver line that used the 48" driver in the...
