| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli, Yes, the entire point of having a good audio system is to listen to the music that we love. Going to live jazz venues frequently over many years has definitely conditioned my ears. It makes judging audio components pretty simple. It's ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Thanks for the confirmation, 2 bars into the song and I thought to myself, that's Dexter 😊Thanks Al I really appreciate your comment. Geoff,I don't believe that the cost of upgrade fuses is the primary issue with those who doubt them. Suc... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay makes a very good case for the LTA components particularly the preamp. I'm a jazz aficionado of many happy years. We all have our individual criteria and sonic hierarchy and for me it's tone,timbre and harmonic overtones authenticity. Thi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jetter,Thank you for your kind comment. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi George (jetter),That’s an excellent ( and humorous) summary of what's taken place here. It has certainly been fun.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Warning, Off topic alert,For those following the NCAA basketball tournament North Carolina is looking very dominant. They'll play the UCLA/Kentucky winner, this could be potentially one excellent match up. OK back to the fuses. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Got it George, I hadn't considered that possibility before 😊Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,The jazz Christmas music recording is exceptionally good, every track is beautiful music. Here’s my question, track #16, is that Dexter Gordon? The tenor saxophone texture, tone and emotion has Dexter's signature written all over it. Jus... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Jond and nonoise,Actually I share the sentiment you both have expressed. Overwhelming the music loving upgrade fuse users here are a happy and content group. It's honestly a very small number of people who seem to relish the role spoiling the ... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Roxy is right, and generally speaking you gain speaker sensitivity as the cabinet increases in size/internal volume. Lower speaker impedance load and steep phase angles aren't friendly to tube amplifiers. Tubes work better with higher and flat (... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Hi Ozzy,No I do not know of any direct comparison. My point is that both would sound excellent yet appeal to different sets of ears. Mac,The Berning design avoids the traditional output transformer but uses a very unique radio frequency form of a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Abnerjack, Just an example, I received a package from Frank recently containing 9 CDs. He took the time to record these from his fabulous vinyl record collection. This is the 2nd time he’s done this for me. Did he have to do this? Of course not, h... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Abner jack,Thank you for your kind comments. You have a point "if'" you were to only focus on that single post from Frank. If you consider Frank's total body of posts in the context of this enormous thread I'd say absolutely not. He's no sn... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ozzy,I believe a more compelling and "competitive" comparison would be the Line Magnetic 805ia. This is a very highly praised 805 tube SET with 45 watt output. Of course with these types of comparisons, final choice has much to do with plain ol... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I can vouch for Frank's recommendation, this recording is vintage top form Milt Jackson playing . Frank on the ebay link that Herbie Mann "Be Bop Synthesis" is very intriguing. I'm going to buy it if available on CD. Charles |
