Frank,
How much better is the Herbie's compare to the ARC? 5%? 10%? Does it has the same effect as the SR black fuse?

Frank,
You are killing me:) First, I ordered the black fuse after reading your post. Then the ARC rings and now the Herbie's. I will probably wait a little for the Herbies. Thanks and appreciate your feedback. Happy listening.

Frank,
Please keep up the good work. A lot of people like me really appreciate the tweaks that you shared here. I am looking forward to you upcoming posts.
BTW, how much better is the Herbie compare to the ARC rings?

Frank,
OMG, WTH, Man O Man, I should've waited a little longer before I pulled the trigger on getting the ARC rings. I think I will need to send my ARC rings to someone like Mapman very soon:) Thx again and take care.

Frank,
if the herbies rings are so great, do you think it would be even better with the ARC rings on top of them? Thx
Allan |
Frank,
Thank you for your kind offer but you should put them up for sale since you got so many. I guess I will try them with the Herbies rings after I received them.
Allan |
Frank,
Lol, no problem. Let me know if you need a couple more:) I heard the LS28 is the low end version of the REF-6. Perhaps you can get 85% of the ref6 but half the cost?
Allan |
Frank,
Have you ever connect your CD7 to the Ref75 directly?
Thanks for your recommendation above. I do like traditional jazz but more into female jazz vocalist like Diana Krall, Lisa Lovbrand, Melody Gardot, Nora Jones, etc.

Thx Frank. I will explore them for sure:) |
Frank,
I've been playing with the Herbie's dampers for a few days now, however, they don't work well in my system. The bass was more solid and soundstage was more focused but I lost the extended high and smooth mid at the same time. As you know I listen to a lot of female vocal and those are the things that matter the most to me. I tried to play around with the damper position on the tubes but they just don't sound right no matter what I did. I think I will send them back unless you have some tips that you can share again. As soon as I removed the dampers, my system is back to normal again. It seems like the Herbies are overdamping my system. Meanwhile, I inserted only 1 ARC ring back into each tube and I noticed the high/mid are still good but the bass is more solid. So it's like getting the best of both worlds. Let me know what you think. Thx.

Geoff,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did play around with the position for the Herbies dampers but nothing seemed to release the high/mid back to my system. I guess my case is a little different than most of you here in the forum where you guys are using them on traditional preamps and power amps. I am using them on a pair of PCC88s acting as a input stage for the PS Audio BHK 250 power amp. It is not really a tube amp but a hybrid. I guess I will send them back.
Frank,
I am placing an order of 4 Red fuses to replace the rest of the rail fuses in my amp since they are on sale now. I am not sure if the Black fuses are twice as good as the Reds. What do you think?

Frank,
do you happen to have any 5x20 fast blow 10 amp red fuses that I can buy from you?

Frank,
I returned the Rx dampers and exchanged for the SS dampers and they worked great in my system. I am experiencing the same thing you described on your previous posts but no cut off on high and mid this time:) Robert at Herbie's Audio also made it very easy! I am also thinking about pulling the trigger to replace all 4 rail fuses in my amp with the Black fuses since they are having some special in December. Thanks for all the tips and happy holidays to you!

Frank
just wonder what kind of power cords you are using with your gear. I found it changes the sound significantly on my system. I am currently using a Audience e powerchord for my amp. Thx

Frank,
Thank you. I will check it out.
