Under the cover, you mean if we turn the dac upside down it's there or we have to unscrew the bolts and it's "inside" the dac?
(I'm at the office now and can't confirm in loco)
Thanks.
Do any of Aqua Formula owners had replaced the fuse on it?
It's not in the usual place near the power plug, so i think that we have to open the lid.
It's an easy job? Anyone can do it or it's better to take it to the dealer?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Rocoa,
Welcome aboard!
I've been a member here for quite sometime and haven't properly introduce myself. My bad. Will do that shortly :)
This is a very good place to exchange ideas; tweaks and to learn, and most important to make friends, at least I've made some good friends who shares this...
It's wonderful this mixed ideas about the "house sound" of speakers and how our perception of what we hear is so different.
I've had in the last 6/7 years maybe 5 or 6 speakers models, ie Monitor Audio; Xavian, Vivid, Evolution Acoustics, Gryphon (monitors and floorstanders) and then I stopped...
Don't know for memory, have to check.
But I can say without a doubt that the marriage is perfect with the Kuzma 4P 9" in sound presentation. Also aesthetically the African Black Wood seems to be made for the 4P.
I'm a guy with only one turntable that can only accommodate one tonearm, so I made...
Some pics of the Colibri MS Stradivarius in African Black Wood Grenadille - 1,1 mV.
Still many hours to break in point, but I do feel that each day it’s getting better.
The soundstage is amazing, sometimes even freaky because I hear sounds in every corner of the room, completely unboxed, the...
I have the Colibri XGW Master Signature Stradivarius (1,1 mV) in African Black Wood Grennadille (yes, the nomenclature of the names should be more easy), it should be around 80/100 hours and I haven't heard any sibilance at all.
With the "regular" Colibri in my setup yes I've heard some...
Indeed
The Colibri MSS (1,1 mV) keeps surprising me each day (it has roughly 50 hours or so - I'm not maniac to the point of counting playing time ).
Just finished a three hour session and realized that some albums are in fact very good, because with the prior cartridges I couldn't hear their...
I was gonna say that the Atlas was my favorite and then you embed the Colibri MSS...
Thats the one I like the most.
Probably because I own one myself. :)
Unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) ;) my TT can only support one tonearm.
With the 14" I don't know, what i do know is that the MSS works wonderful with the Kuzma 4 Point 9".
It's what I use at the moment in my TT, and this combination is by far the best I've had until now. And I didn't reach yet the 100 hours mark, so....
I subscribe the impressions of Tango.
I think you've missed the point.
The spikes provided by Avalon aren't made of wood, so I really don't understood your ramblings.
But I liked it, always good to learn interesting stuff.
You won't know it unless you've tried it, so, my recommendation remains in the air.
The Stillpoints doesn't add...
Hi Paolo,
Incredible system you've assembled, it should really give many moments of pleasure.
Can I make a suggestion? As far as I can see you're using the spikes provided from Avalon, right?
I also own an Avalon speaker (the littlest in the series - IDEA) and switching the spikes to...
Using mine with a good ol' PLL. I know there are better out there in Nagra land but for now I'm pretty satisfied with both.
My goal is to get the Classic pre when the time comes. Or HD if I win the lottery :)
Cables are Cardas Clear and Avalon speakers which also go very well with Nagra.
And...
Hi jfrech,
Yes, that’s my main concern. Not really into spend some more 2 or 3 grand on a step up.
I have two carts at home right now, one with 0,45 mV and it’s no sweat for the VPS. The other one have 0,38 mV and to listen at the SPL’s I’m used to I have to push the volume knob on the PLL...
Hi Pradeep,
Does the Nagra VPS were a good match to the Proteus?
Could it deal with a cartridge worn only 0,20 mV of output?
Sorry to bring to life such an old thread, but I do own a VPS and will have the oportunity to try the Proteus in a couple of days, but somehow I'm a bit concerned if...
You should so consider the IDEA. Small, cheaper and extremely musical and coherent.
They do like some juice to shine however. Have tried a few amps with them, some better sinergy with ones than the others.
Currently driving them with a Nagra Classic amp/PLL setup - wonderful combination with Avalon.
May I suggest also the Lyngdorf TDAi 2170?
I've owned the previous model (2200, go figure :)) that served me well for couple of years.
All-in-one on a budget and I think it can also do DSD...
The magnificent improvements you are all sharing with the quad USB will also be of that magnitude in the Analog dac?
From what I can tell, the only feedback is with the upper echelon MSB Dacs.
