| Dual Differential / Balanced? Thank Al, So very specific requirements are necessary in order for Ralph's point to be valid, I appreciate the clarification. This would explain the findings of my friend's Atma-Spheres and his various balanced cables. Charles, | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Hello Peter,Yes, this explanation has been suggested before. I've gone back and forth several times with my DAC, Line Stage and amplifier and the differences heard remain consistent. My friend whom I mentioned earlier has a very different system a... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Jmski,"Ears rule" well that's how it goes for me as well. I have upmost respect for the technical knowledge and contributions of Al and Ralph, this is without question. I make no attempt to explain fuse direction effects, I'm unqualified to do so... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? Kkijanki,A friend of mine has the Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamplifier and the MA-1 amplifiers. With this fully differential balanced signal path he says he can hear differences between various brands of balanced interconnects. By the way his MP-1 s... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? Well Ralph your explanation of misuse /improper application of "balanced " circuits would explain why I don't usually find them better sounding in many audio systems. Nonetheless single ended /unbalanced components can often sound fabulous. Supe... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? Kijanki,Thanks for your interesting and informative comments here. Listening confirms many of your points regarding real life sound quality. I appreciate the theoretical advantages of differential balanced circuits. Coincidence or not some of the ... | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 Hi eddy,Replacing the coupling caps can make a very noticeable different (agree with Dave of Clarity caps) and the V cap OIMP you're considering are very worthwhile upgrades. The cost of those caps represent good value. I'd do this upgrade if I we... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well Chris it's good to know that the Red fuses worked out in your Frankenstein. By the way are you using a preamplifier or direct source to amplifier? Charles, | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Audiolover718, Your power cable is at a much lower price point than the SR cables used by Frank (Oregonpapa ) yet you appear to be getting similar results, that's good. It sure seems that SR is doing something right. A very interesting comparison... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When it comes to the vibraphone, Jackson, Feldman and Bobby Hutcherson are my all time favorites, but there are many good ones to choose among. Lem Winchester is featured on a really good Oliver Nelson recording "Nocturne ". Quite good! Charles, | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Ralph graciously acknowledged his customers were adamant regarding positive results with upgrade level fuses. They had no comments in regard to fuse directional properties. George I understand your position concerning fuses, that has nothing to do... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Hello Ralph, I'm pleased that you acknowledge and respect the listening impressions of your customers regarding premium fuses rather than belittling their informed feedback to you. Good quality audio components exploit the impact of these fuses.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... As Frank said in an earlier post, it's all just a matter of taste. The term "cool jazz" is often synonymous with "West Coast jazz". MIles Davis "Birth Of The Cool" is credited as the orgin of this genre. Smooth jazz is an entirely different genre... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank, The Eric Reed recordings I suggested to Jond yesterday are modern recordings with a natural presentation. Another good one from him is "Cleopatra's Dream". He does a beautiful rendition of Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life".Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman,Thanks for the music link. Frank I agree with you regarding the artificial reverb. He's a good trumpet player with a nice tone and I would like to hear him recorded in a more natural manner. I'd be interested in hearing him playing ... |
