| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses My first two are fully broken-in and my system is sounding really amazing. I swore I would wait for a three for two deal before I bought any more, but yesterday I broke down and ordered one to replace the Orange Fuse in my DAC... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Purple is working really well for me vs. Orange in my Nordost QB-8 power distributor and my BHK preamp. It;s a long break-in, but mostly all good, and sometimes spectacularly so. I'm really happy with them and I'll be buying more... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks I like albums that are a bit "difficult." In other words, ones that are somewhat difficult to reproduce cleanly. Rickie Lee Jones's Pop Pop can peel the skin off your ears until you get it right. The bass on Holly Cole's Temptation album of Tom Wa... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets I've gotten better results with the Synergistic Blue and Black outlets over the Shunyata cryo and the PS Audio Power Port outlets. I'm tempted to try their Orange outlets (the Orange fuses are great), but in my setup, getting to my two dedicated o... | |
| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review I got my ER in the first batch last year and noticed an immediate improvement in all aspects of sound right out of the box in my Roon Nucleus+ based system. Since then, I have enhanced its performance in stages first by adding an Sbooster linear p... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Oh boy. Covid hit my retired lifestyle hard leading me to seek refuge in exercise and music to stay semi-saneBiggest change was upgrading my Primaluna Prologue Six monos to Dialogue Premium after eight or so years. Other "work" was done to my Upto... | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I too, have found benefits to putting a highly textured throw over my TV for serious listening. Free to try... | |
| Who buy PS AUDIO ? I’m super happy with my DSD Sr. with the Bridge streamer. Pre-purchase it went head to head with a Chord Hugo TT2 which was fantastic but, sans preamp, the DSD had more body and drive. It replaced a Mytek Brookyn DAC+ which wasn’t too shabby. I tr... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I had Krell 750 MCx's in an apartment back in the day with WATT/Puppy 6s and two REL Stentors. I split a 240v wall heater circuit and bypassed the thermostat. They were on separate legs of the AC but sounded great nonetheless. They ran hot so I di... | |
| Audiophile Receptacle question The Synergistic Blue duplex is outstanding. A significant improvement over the SR Black which, in turn, is much better than the Shunyata or the PS Audio. 30 day free trial. Not too much break in time needed. Ask me how I know... | |

| New speakers? No thanks. Thank you for not saying "the wife." Probably a little part of why she's open to you pursuing your passion, something she seems to enjoy as well. Good on ya... | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints Amazon. I think this is it:https://www.amazon.com/HIMALAID-Himalayan-Serving-Naturally-Provides/dp/B07L3BLLHH/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UT...It's 12 x x 8 x 2 so it's footprint is a bit smaller than the amps. |
