Alternative application of SR HFT
Interesting. I have other fish to fry right now, but I have had truly excellent results with the HFTs in my room and on my speakers among a number of other SR products. I will keep it in mind, as I have contemplated introducing damping to my EL-34...

I received my two SR Black outlets today and I have to say that they are not outwardly impressive in any way. Black plastic, a steel back-strap stamped "spec grade" and the code-required tamper-resistant nylon "shutters" over the hot and neutral s...

To complement my system's phalanx of SR Black fuses, I just ordered a second Black outlet for my second dedicated line. It was gonna be kind of a pain to replace even one of them as the two lines share a double outlet box back in a corner, so I fi...

In the meantime, here on planet earth, I'm really enjoying the Bill Evans chestnut, Waltz for Debbie. Just now, My Romance (Take 1) is dancing in front of me. It's been a while since I last played this good'un....

Yeah, the SR Black outlet experiment should be interesting. I won't receive it or have a chance to mess with it for a week or two, but I am curious. In the meantime, I gonna try a really crazy--even for me--tweak, and that is to use a 12x8x2 Himal...

I'm enjoying Shirley Horn's "The Main Ingredient" tonight, a 1995 recording made in her NYC living room after the clubs shut down (and after a chicken and greens dinner she prepared as the story goes). Participants include Joe Henderson, Roy Hargr...

Thanks for the tip on McCoy Tyner's Manhattan Moods. I'll check it out. Interesting that on Amazon some CD copies are priced at over $100, but it's available for $16 with Prime shipping and four bucks plus postage used...

Tonight’s feature is McCoy Tyner’s New York Reunion with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Al Foster. Magnificent. Spectacular sound-stage with clearly delineated instrumental outlines, yet without any crispies at their outer edges, And Ron Carter's b... 
Can the KEF LS50 rock?
The signal from the speaker terminals to a REL is replete with whatever crap is on that line, primarily back-EMF. Thus the sub is seeing the same signal as the speakers especially given the 100k+ input impedance of the REL's high level inputs. I h...

I'm retired and am no shill for SR. I worked in the AV industry for a couple of years in the early aughts as a break from management consulting, but we didn't carry SR (and, at the time I paid retail for the SR AC Master Couplers). I'm long retire...

Regarding the SR Black fuse morphing with break-in, even installed in my REL sub the higher frequencies became harsh for a time and then we went to the "bass all over the place" phase as well. As a result,  I was also moved to put micro fiber towe... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
Oops. I don't count good. 20 HFTs on my walls, four on each speaker and a few on various USB cables...
