| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? Been trying the risers for about a week, got them on the free orange fuse promo. In my system they did not work well, seemed to take away dynamics and reduced the organic nature of the sound. Then moved them under power cables and much better. ... | |
| 2020 FLORIDA AUDIO EXPO WHICH ROOMS would YOU VISIT? Well, I was smitten by the Muraudio electostats at last years show, so want to revisit them again as a possible prelude to purchase. Also interested in the Lampi Amber dac as well as the various streamers that’ll be on display. Surprisingly good... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I’ve been dreading shopping in the minefield of new DACs but this discussion has provided me with needed direction, and I thank you guys for that! Hope the stateside Lampi team will be participating in the Florida Audio Expo In Feb...... | |
| Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it? Hi Mike, are you planning on carrying either of the F1 standmounts (especially the F1-8)?At Suncoast Audio, we have the 502SP’s, the 702’s and the F1-12’s on display currently, with more on the way. | |
| DACs That Improve The Sound of the Sony HAP-Z1ES Very nice Bike, wish I could afford one of those Weiss DAC's, bet it sounds awesome and then some! Thanks for the input..... | |
| DACs That Improve The Sound of the Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi Anwar, thanks for the response and detailing of the various iterations you have gone through. Although I hope that your last sentence is not true, the lack of response here may be telling. That Innuos Zenith gets a lot of good press, may be ... | |
| Expo Me too, and it’s right down the street from me, how convenient can it get? | |
| Absolare vs Zanden Cannot provide input on Absolare tube amps vs Zanden, but for what it's worth, I can comment on Absolare the company.......superb customer service and orientation, while my Passion Signature integrated (a huge expenditure for me), is the only piec... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hey PTSS, not sure what you need but it is pretty straightforward.......remove the top cover on the Sony, locate the 2 fuses toward the middle of the unit and pull the old fuse out of it's horizontal holder (I used a device, don't know what it's c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks Frank, it's always a nice surprise when we discover things that we never knew were missing, especially if one loves music.....and of course the music should always be the end priority but with the recognition that even better illusions of r... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi PTSS, there are actually 2 fuses in the Sony, both are Small (5x20mm), 3.15A, Slow-Blow types. I only replaced one of these, after a discussion in this thread back in October with Brownsfan here: https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1357579 | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Admittedly I was skeptical about what a little fuse, which I remember buying for a nickel a pop in the old days, could possibly do for sound quality. After following all the fuss here, mostly positive though paying close attention to the persuasi... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Like the aforementioned "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", I think many Jimmy Webb songs have an evocative and haunting quality (Adios, Wichita Lineman, etc).Also take a listen to the great Bonnie Raitt pull on the emotions with "I Can’t Make You Lov... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hey Brownsfan, never thought I would so completely ignore my dac/transport, but having my own personal jukebox with 7,000 tunes (so far) at instant disposal and great sound is addictive........random play is my favorite way to listen to all that m... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, Brownsfan, that is very interesting. The HAPZ1 already performs at a decent level, I’ve found it equal to a Berkeley DAC/Sim Moon transport combo in my system, which kind of shocked me. If it can be made to improve upon that performance le... |
