| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Bill,I have a hard time time keeping up with your various speaker changes, LaHave , Harbeths 40.1 and now the Cresendo (for how long?) š. Just kidding with you Bill. Congratulations on your AZ Cresendo, I've heard them on three separate occasions ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,Which component are you starting with? In my system the greater perceived impact was Line Stage and DAC Ā (equal) then the power amplifier. Ā Of course there's hierarchy variations depending on system/components. Wow! What a comeback win for th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Bill,I'd follow the strategy of one Black fuse at a time. Ā Again the SR Red fuse is quite good but the Black is a clear level above. You may as well aim high.Ā CharlesĀ | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,I'd describe it this way based solely on the positive results in my system. Red ="very"good, Black=superb. SR Red fuses at 1/2 price =superb value š. Ā Bill I believe that you've experienced premium fuses in the past with your various projects... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,It's difficult to assign a numerical value sometimes but definitely the SR Ā Red fuse is very good. Ā If budget is a concern for anyone I'd enthusiastically recommend their base Ā SR 20 Ā Quantum. Ā These were a clear improvement over the stock fu... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Iām looking forward to hearing these recordings for sure. Lucky Thompson? Nice! He can really play the tenor saxophone. I figured that you likely had "Bags Groove", you have such good taste.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Ā I don't have the Savoy titles of Jackson. Ā I do have Miles Davis "Bags Groove" a 1954 Prestige mono recording that Ā features Milt Jackson Ā (and Thelonious Monk āŗ) and sounds wonderful. If Savoy matches this in quality oh boy.Ā CharlesĀ | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Ā I am a Hugh fan and admirer of Milt Jackson and have a sizable collection of his recordings. Ā I don't have any from the Roost label/mono era but will seek them out. My recordings of Jackson are with him not with the MJQ but with others. Ā I ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Ā It just is another example of how two very different audio systems can yield such similar musical/-sonic results. With the exception of the Black fuses our speakers, source, electronics and cabling share no overlapping brands. What we have ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,I listened to 5 of the CDs last night and it was an enjoyable session for certain. Buddy Montgomery was a treat to hear playing the vibraphone, Iāll seek out more of his recordings as a vibraphonist. Heās equally proficient with the vibra... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello Frank,I just received your CDs today. 7 of them!Ā I'll be doing a lot of listening beginning with the Montgomery Brothers later tonight, I must hear Buddy play the vibraphone. Frank thanksĀ so much for taking the time to do this favor.Sincere... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Hi Phillip,No I wouldn't necessarily say that, I'm impressed with it and it may further improved via IS2. The Bricasti SE is excellent in my friend's system, it replaced his Asthetix Pandora Signature. I don't believe in an absolute best when it c... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Hi Jon,Well said. I make the assumption we hereĀ are all mature adults who happily share information and perspectives and are capable of determining what sounds good to us.Jon despite hearing these fine DACs and numerousĀ others as well, the Yamamot... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Milpal,According to my friend the Singxer SU-1 will allow the use of IS2 connection, he is awaiting his. I donāthe mind the inevitable skeptics. They come with the territory of open discussion forums., Iām confident in what I hear and am comfortab... | |
| Capacitor pricing The upper level Solen are solidly good capacitors however there are better. My amplifier uses Solens as first stage coupling capacitors and I replaced them with Jupiter copper foils for a noticeable improvement (not night and day). My speakers hav... |
