| Synergistic Research HFT's I drink the HFT kool-aid too. I have 18 of the regular ones festooning my walls and speakers (3 on each--not necessarily located where SR suggests) and 3 HFT 2.0s. I "energize" them if that is the term, with an Atmosphere and an FEQ. I seem to get... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm just checking back in on my experiment with adding a Black fuse to my REL R-328. I'm maybe 40-50 hours in, slowed a bit by the Warriors and the Sharks being in the championships and a few days spent under the weather. In one of my previous pos... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I first heard them in the mid-70s in Des Moines, IA. I owned Infinity 2000A hybrid electrostats at the time and the shop invited me to bring them over after they closed so we could compare. I thought both speakers acquitted themselves well that ev... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... nyame:I saw the info somewhere in the last week or two, but don't have a link for you. It might have been in the long AVS REL thread. Maybe do a find search on B2 or fuse? My R-328 has a Class D amp and the stock fuse is 9 amps, so I used a 10A Bl... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes it will be interesting to see how the Black fuse morphs in the sub as it breaks in. With my streamer, DAC/pre and amps, my first impressions after going Black were generally positive, but over time there were alternate moments of, "Where did a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The Black fuse for my REL arrived a day early! Gotta love highend-electronics teamed with the good ol' post office. I installed it into my R-328 and noted the crossover level (30Hz) and level (about 9:30), levels which have remained stable over a ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gonna try a Black fuse in my REL R-328. Arrives Friday. Last place to try one in my current setup. We shall see... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... On the basis of David's list above, I would add the following as benefitting from the SR Red and now replaced with SR Black fuses:Bryston BDP-2Bel Canto DAC 3.7Primaluna Prologue Six | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Same orientation (S to the rear) with the Bryston BDP-2 in my experience. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I believe that's the UEF material. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have two Blacks arriving Monday to replace the Reds in my Primaluna monos. I'm planning on moving the Reds to the plate fuses. I'm not sure that replacing the plate fuses will make any kind of difference, but I have to do something with the Reds... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have absolutely no idea how audiophile fuses "work," but long personal experience with them tells me emphatically that they do. With one recent exception, I have not blown a fuse in a piece of audio equipment in over forty years, which takes u... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have had "designer" fuses in my equipment for many years, starting with HiFi Tuning Supreme fuses in my Primaluna tube monos. I ultimately ditched the HiFi Tuning for the SR Reds in my amps and never looked back. Reds also went into my Bel Canto... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have to agree that the SR Blacks are a significant improvement over the Reds in my Bryston BDP-2. They do require quite a bit of break-in for the sound to fully stabilize, but you will mostly have fun along the way. You seriously need to give th... |
