| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,My understanding from reading comments on various threads is the outcomes are mixed. Some say they have only average quality output transformers and power supplies and sound okay but not exceptional. Others report excellent results. I suspect... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Uberwaltz, I glad you took a chance with the SR Black fuses and they provided you an improvement in sound quality. No product will work out successfully with everyone in all circumstances, this never happens. Those same power cables and ICs that r... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Hi Ozzy, I certainly acknowledge and give credit for a well thought out long term upgrade/updating pathway.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I can also recommend the Star Sound Apprentice platforms with much enthusiasm. I use them beneath my speakers and every audio component. My results are just as teajay described. This is a very effective and well thought out product.Charles | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ozzy,Thanks and I sure you understand my observatIonal comment. Read the threads on Audiogon and many other audio forums and they're full of people discussing their various journeys through the maze of audio equipment over the years. At some po... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design I understand their are people who hang on to their components/speakers for life. in addition to yours there are "lifer' ARC,CJ, Krell, McIntosh etc. They exist but don't make up the majority of the audiophile community. I suspect many more of them... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ralph,I am not disputing that you have very loyal and long term customers at all. I'm merely stating that given the nature of some audiophiles there is always some degree of movement between various choices of components including amplifiers. Tub... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Understood. yet people move between OTL and SET with traffic flow and preference moving in both directions. No doubt you have customers who formerly owned SET. SET builders can cite former OTL users as their current customers . These things never ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff,Yes my expectation would be that a 119.00 dollar product should be superior to the 9.00 dollar product or why else would you spend the extra 110.00. What I recognize is that you don't know with any certainty until you actually compare via li... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Expectation bias can be overruled by actual listening experience if one approaches with an open minded attitude. Generally the better something is the more it will cost. There are without doubt exceptions to this generality especially in High End ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’ve believed for a long time that science and engineering are two different disciplines with very different goals and purpose. I certainly don’t have the background of Teo_audio to go into any level of detail but I do know man cannot explain all... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Music and recommending recordings (mostly jazz but some classical as well) have been a staple on this thread for quite some time and I'm glad for it. What more can be said regarding the fuses (pro or con) that wasn't stated 80 pages ago? As the O... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... LOL,George, come on my audiogon brother! for goodness sake, appreciate the satire. . This is why the post by the other George (jetter) was so on the mark in its summation and humorous characterization. There is a clear distinction between Al as co... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli, Some buttons are worth "pushing" 😁I don’t doubt the synergy aspect discussed here regarding the LTA ZOTL preamp and power amplifiers. I use the Coincident Statement Line Stage, their Frankenstein MK II SET 300b mono blocks and their Total... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dentdog,I'm sure Phil would enthusiastically recommend his Audion amplifiers and why not? They have obviously served him extremely well for many years. I don't know what your budget is but I believe that the Line Magnetic 219ia (845 SET) or thei... |
