| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Hello Mapman,The lettering on the Synergistic Research fuse reads the standard left to right direction. In my DAC the fuse holder is orientated L to R. In my Coincident components the fuse is inserted into the rear fuse holder in a back to front... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce I've heard both speakers but not in direct comparison. If you find the used Sophias for what you consider a good deal I'd go for it. You have a nice system that would match well with these speakers IMO.Charles, | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Jazz,I'm can appreciate your efforts for specific information about fuse direction. My experience with the SR Red and Black fuses is they generally go in the direction of the writing. I would still suggest reversing direction as there always seem... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mapman, In my experience I'd recommend a range of 70-100 hours for sufficient burn in time to judge their worth. With the exception of a tube power amplifier just about everything else can be left on 24/7 so that range can achieved in only 3 or 4... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Abnerjack,If you've been following this thread you must be aware that this forum has been open to all viewpoints. Granted the vast majority of posts here are very positive but that's due to the users satisfying results. There's has been no arm twi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello Mapman, I think you miss my point. It isn't a case of rah rah (not sure why you'd characterize it this way). I definitely have no issue with open discussion and have said so several times. After awhile redundancy sets in. That's why the alt... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Nonoise,That's why I am glad there are two threads discussing premium fuses. One for the skeptical and this thread for happy users of these fuses. This is good IMO , one side will never convince the other, waste of precious time. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Cal,As you probably know I am a very happy owner of the Coincident Line Stage and Total Eclipse II speakers. Both are terrific. However if I were you I'd address your AC power deficiency issues first. I've found that high quality AC power is c... | |
| How To Improve The Slow Traffic On Audiogon Systems Pages Jed and Al,Good points! I was receiving comments on my virtual system page and had no idea of their existence (Due to lack of notification ). Jed's idea of placing the system posts ahead of the forums is a excellent one. We can only hope. Charles, | |
| How To Improve The Slow Traffic On Audiogon Systems Pages The revamping has some advantages but the audio system activity has plummeted and isn't the fun it use to be. Much information was exchanged before the redesign of this site. Spencer yourobservation and comments are on the mark. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jond,That's good to hear. Are you by chance using the Cerious Audio graphene power cables? Charles, | |
| SR "Entry Level" Black UEF power cords Another reasonably priced power cable that interests me is the Cruze First Audio Maestro. It uses pure silver plugs without any plating. Connectors make a definite difference just as the type of conductor chosen.Charles, | |
| SR "Entry Level" Black UEF power cords Hi Thaluza,As we share some of the same components and I trust your ears I'm interested in your findings. Very curious to see how they match with the Frankenstein amplifiers. The fact that you like this cable with the Line Stage is encouraging. W... | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 Tubegroover, Thanks for the insight on this unfamiliar component. Charles, | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 Hi Tubegroover, I'm not familiar with this particular ARC Line Stage and I'll defer to your assessment. You believe that 50.00 USD for the V cap OIMP isn't a good value upgrade? These caps were very beneficial in my older Quicksilver preamplifier... |
