| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. Georgelofi, I am not directly connecting the 555 to the ARC, I'm using a paradigm crossover in line between it. Apparently it has an input impedance of 20kohms. According to the thread I referenced, this is a not optimal, as well as using single ... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... For my ARC/magnepan system, the uef black power cables sound incredible. my CD player and pre have the 12 gauge, and the poweramp has the 10 gauge. Im sure as you go up the line into the atmosphere line, improvements are there, but those power cor... | |

| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK Update:I just learned from Steve at Herbies that the original halos may not tolerate the heat from a 6h30, and "may not hold up in the long run" therefore I will remove them and put the rings back on for now. He did suggest the rx 9. | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... David Pritchard, do you have any experience with the old school watt gate 381 silver cryo? If so, how would you compare it to the new UEF black Receptacle? | |

| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK Honestly I would not have thought that the placement would have been so critical on such a small tube, but it is! I also notice that when the rings are low, there is a fattening of the midbass. At first I thought the bass had decreased from pushin... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Been a while since I've checked in on this thread. I'm very curious about the black outlet. Davidpritchard has me very intrigued. Right now, I have the gtxD r feeding my power conditioner and subwoofer. The teslaplex se are retrofitted into my co... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK Oregonpapa, you had mentioned this to me in one of the SR threads. I had forgotten to reply in regard to my results. I want to thank you for your reccomendation. You are 100% correct. It’s just "mo betta". The frequency extensions are enhanced, ai... | |
