Synergistic Red Fuse ...

+1 nonoise. Also if your doc needs anything be sure to have him check with Ted D first. He may have a better version of it already.  I hope you found that funny.

No Worries. Back in the day my dad did two open hearts a day - that was tough and recovery for patients was lengthy. These days with modern techniques it is a walk in the park.

Frank,

You take care of yourself, and rest up.  You'll have a lot of well wishes and good music to keep you company.

As much as I want those Rachmaninov concertos, I want to listen to music with you again even more.

Take care of yourself.

Jason

Also, to Jond...

Frank's a great guy.  I don't like to relay what I speak about with other people, but he's exceptionally candid, and deeply caring.  One of the best guys on the forum, or in life, really.

Ciro, the other guy I met (goes by C_avila1) reached out to me on my offer on this forum to listen to each others systems.  He's also great, mods equipment, and loves to tinker.  Stupidly nice guy as well.  The a/b comparison was a lot of fun.

And to Charles...

Its funny you mentioning the preamp slot...I told Frank when I met him that in my preamp, while I liked the Synergistic Black fuse, there were qualities I preferred about the stock fuse.  In my amp, however, the Synergistic replaced a Furutech fuse, and it was a slam dunk, no question about it, upgrade.  With it in place, now the preamp is better with the SR Black than the stock glass fuse.  The two work well together.  Still, might have to try an AH fuse in the preamp one day.

Regards,
Jason

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Frank. We need you back here asap.
