Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ

I heard this tweak at RMAF and brought it home on a 30-day free trial. Unfortunately it turned out to be a real system killer. I had 20 of the HFTs and tried them with and without the FEQ, using a ladder to put them up and take them down repeatedly. I couldn't believe how awful it was. Made it hard to enjoy my otherwise excellent ~$45k system.

I had a similar experience with their Quantum fuse. Never did trust anything with "Quantum" in the title. HiFi Tuning Supreme fuses, on the other hand, made my amps sound significantly better.

Stevebythebay, at the RMAF, I heard a Bose radio sound different with and without these devices. Is that proof of "substance?"

I should note that I asked Audiogon whether I needed to declare myself a reviewer as AudioAsylum requires. I was told no.

Sabai, you are right that I am a reviewers, now for StereoTimes. I have never hidden that. My editors don't like me to post here or on other sites, but I insist. And in this case nothing I said was altered by my reviewing. I am not reviewing anything from SR now nor would it influence me were I to being doing one. There is a reason why I am with the third magazine now.

Sabai, I must admit I am at a loss in understanding what you are talking about here. Please just send me a private email if you will.

Augwest, I assume these are the little unit that went behind the system and the resonators that stuck on the Bose radio. I certainly heard their effect but really could say nothing as the Bose still sounded awful.

I certainly do not share your opinion on the Quantum fuses, however, I have them in everything with a fuse. I think the key to them is the quantum tunneling.

I suppose like most everything in audio, we have so many choices and so few opportunities to hear them compared that our likes are idiosyncratic judges.

Sabai, huh! A posting that started on 10-16-13 and you wonder about participating in this thread after four days.
