| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mapman,I can’t say that I’ve detected animosity from the advocates of the Black fuses, in fact they’ve been an usually cheerful group (for an open forum environment ). On the other side there’s only been a handful doubters, with true animosity dis... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman,yours is a very compelling post. You have written what some others are possibly suspicious of but are willing to give people with counter opinions and experiences the benefit of the doubt. I am willing to take his comments at face value.... | |
| Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp I agree with Jmcgrogan2, some analog front ends can certainly sound clinical,sterile and threadbare. There are digital sources that can provide an organic/natural warmth and tonal richness. Either analog or digital can sound excellent or very poor... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mapman and Wolf tried the SR fuses and they heard no improvement in the sound quality of their systems. That's fine and I can accept that without any problem whatsoever. All I care about is honesty, people reporting what they heard good or bad. ... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA Congratulations! Early in this thread much caution was expressed toward use of the Cary 211 push pull tube amplifier and for very legitimate reasons. Georgelofi and Almarg rightly noted the Sasha’s specifications and difficult speaker load charact... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The point of the McCormack comments is he clearly recognized the significant improvement in sound quality with use of premium fuses in place of the stock fuse. No one suggested he was specifically referring to the SR fuses. The derogatory and very... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi oblgny,When I became interested in jazz and listened with new found attention Oscar Peterson was my main pianist. As time passed and with ever increasing exposure /awareness Monk just pulled me in. Peterson is an enormous talent whom I'll alwa... | |
| SET amps (almarro vs decware) Rob,I believe that the bigger and improved transformers took the Coincident Dynamo MK II from "very good" to superb particularly in its price range. Charles, | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Richard,I hear you and we're on the same page, Rinpoche, The vast majority of audiogon forum contributors are nice folks who try to help others as much as possible. There are the few negative sarcastic and "know it all" types who reside here. Fo... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Ricred1,This is one of the classic timeless High End audio debates, active preamplifier versus direct source to power amplifier. I consistently find I prefer the inclusion of the active preamplifier, personal taste and nothing more. I do belie... | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Good recommendations provided. I believe that the new MK II version of the Coincident Dynamo would sound terrific with the efficient Zu. No doubt that the Line Magnetic would be an excellent choice as well. Either of these high quality tube amplif... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche, Absolutely logical explanation and response. It isn’t "always" necessary to take baby steps. Your Wilson and Rowland system have you perched at a pretty high level in the realm of High End Audio . Finding a highly regarded cable (that’s ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Nyame,Yes I have both of those recordings.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Here's one example of what I mean (and then I'll shut up ). The other night I'd recommended "Monk" by Peter Bernstein. Listening to the cut "Blues Five Spot" you hear simply delicious chords being played as Peter expresses his interpretation of M... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... +1 nyame and jafreeman descriptive comments. It seems that better quality fuses,AC wall receptacles and power cables work individually and collectively to improve AC POWER quality. Which results in less of a mechanical /electronic character and mo... |
