Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Tzh21y,Your results are atypical compared to most others here.  Either you still may need more burn in time or they just aren't meshing with your system. If they don't come around, return them and get your refund.  As with Oregonpapa , the Blac... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Mapman, I mentioned the cost of the Black fuses as you've raised that concern  several times, certainly you're not alone with that view. To me it's pretty simple, you tried the Red fuse and it made no difference for you. So its a no go in your opi... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Mapman, You view 100 dollar fuses as very expensive as you compare them to generic fuses,believe me, I get your point. My perspective is focused on actual sonic improvement added to an audio system. So two very different approaches. As I and other... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
But much more in reality.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Mapman, I agree and have said  (along with others here ) that the more highly resolved (finely tuned ) the audio system the more apparent the impact of the Black fuse. Thus their effect is greater than what one would assume a fuse can contribute. ... 
Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$
Hi Thaluza,Thanks for your insightful comments on the SR  Graphene and Cerious Audio  Graphene power cords. These two new products are very interesting as well as reasonably priced. It makes me wonder how they'd compare to the Coincident Statement... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Hello Lak, Thanks for posting your listening impressions and comparison of the two brands of power cables. Yes the math is self explanatory,  the Cerious Graphene competing favorably with the highly praised HTC cord is very commendable, caveats no... 
Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$
Nonoise,Thanks for your kind comments.  You're right I'm advising based strictly on personal experiences. Without question 300b tube choice influences sound quality  (I've heard 11 different 300bs in my amplifier ,numerous generous loans). I just ... 
... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy
The VTL  data sheet states that the lowest DF setting is the most "natural" sounding. This seemingly implies that the less negative feedback the more natural it will sound. Larryi this correlates with your observation mentioned above. Charles,  
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Bugredmachine,The Cerious Graphene compared to the more expensive HTC power cables has me curious as well. That's why I am interested in Lak's listening impressions since he's familiar with both. . Charles,  
Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$
Hello Essrand,The Black Treasure 300b is a very worthy tube (I used them happily for two and a half years ). To better them you'll have to spend more money. For what you'd pay for better 300b tubes that money would get you two good used power cord... 
Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$
Essrand,I appreciate that  we all have our individual budget limits, I'd offer this advice. Wait and save more money and buy high quality cords on the used market. Your Frankensteins are high resolution and transparent amplifiers.  You'll easily h... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Frank, For clarification I am not purchasing the SR Black AC outlet. I have no doubt that they are an excellent product. I'm using the Avatar  Acoustic Afterburner 8 outlet  (with the Oyaide WPC-Z outlet cover ) and I'm very happy with it. This... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Mark,Email audiogon member Germanboxers. He had the Atma-Sphere M 60 amplifiers and Zu speakers for a good while. He is very knowledgeable and insightful. Charles,  
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Mitch2, The Mono and Stereo reviewer described the Mola Mola amplifier nearly exactly as how they sound to me, I feel he nailed their sonic character. Horses for courses. Charles,
