| Synergistic Red Fuse ... After two weeks my first SR black arrived. I installed it in my Coincident line stage, where it replaced a stock fuse. I did not detect any of the brightness or hard edge reported by others. I noticed a modest increase in resolution as judged b... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? Herr Mahler, I bought a Sony 5400 ES back about a year after they came out. I noticed the same thing. SACD's almost all sounded far better than redbook, with any digital glare type artifacts being rare. I began to invest heavily in classical SA... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, thanks for that last comment. If these fuses have that kind of impact in the coincident gear, the decision to invest in these fuses becomes pretty easy. Since I have stock fuses in nearly everything, the improvement should be pretty su... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, exactly. Those fuses are becoming frustratingly difficult for my old eyes to read. I could not fathom why a pre would take a 7A. Also, the filament looks pretty thin for a 7A. I ordered a fuse for the CSL this morning. Eager to see w... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, Israel says the CSL takes a 1A slo. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, It looks like the fuse in my CSL is a T7AL, which is a 7A slow blow. That seems like a lot of current for a preamp. Is that what you ordered? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, I resent my reply to your PM. The physical conditioning is coming along, but I'm still not where I want to be. If I can continue hitting it hard, another couple months and I should be there.I'm following the fuse thread. I will probabl... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, I did get your email and responded. Did you not receive it? Things are going reasonably well here, but I am doing everything I can to get lost in the hills. Yesterday's hike was 14.4 miles with 3700 ft elevation gain. Four hikes altog... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Learsfool, I sat in the front row for years. I had exactly this discussion with an orchestra member that I sat 6 feet away from for about 5 years (who I would never have gotten to know from the dress circle). My thoughts-- The Indianapolis Circl... | |
| After Market Stands for new Magnepan .7's For what it is worth, I found Mye stands to be a huge upgrade for my 1.6QRs, but they hardly made a perceptible difference with my 3.7Rs.The .7 series has a better frame, I believe. I'd want to hear someone who has used after market stands with s... | |
| Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2 I've auditioned both speakers. Neither impressed me. Of the two, I'd probably have a preference for the Aerials. You might want to audition a few speakers from the Dali line. BTW, I have not auditioned the C1s, but I was told by the dealer tha... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, make that 7 pounds! We are finally getting settled in enough that I can really pursue the hiking for all it is worth. The hiking has been wonderful, and my wife has gotten back into it like in the old days. The endorphin rush, the be... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, I am encouraged by the advice rendered by your very trusted source. Perhaps my PS 10, which provides a reduced start up current for the Franks, coupled with the ability to regulate the voltage at 115, will do the trick for me. As I said... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, very sorry to hear that your replacements did not work out. Mine are still OK, but I am getting very little listening time in these days. Less now than when I was working. I suspect that you have drawn the right conclusion. In the ev... | |
| Calling all SET fans Len,A few thoughts based on some of the recent posts. First, with respect to the Ref 3A deCapos, I found them to be a bit slow in the low frequencies when driven by the dynamo. I think they need more that 8WPC. Second, it might be worth waiting to... |
