| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I had written last week that despite the many positive posts on this thread regarding the Black fuses, the number would continue to grow. This has happily been the case unsurprisingly. To the point of being redundant these fuses represent one of t... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Calloway, I had a borrowed pair of Sophia RP in my amplifier for several weeks a few years back and they were very good sounding although not as good as the Takatsuki. So what you write is high praise for the Psvane W.E. Replica 300b. I use W.E... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It does need to be repeated that these fuses are directional. Not bad vs good sound but a clear preference will be noted with direction reversal. For some reason the reversal of fuse direction was more profound with the Red than the Black in my c... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Mundorf not Munford, darn auto spell! | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Joe,I don't hear a difference in sonic character at all and I was really listening intently for any changes. So, none that I have noticed. Markus, for a tech this is very simple and straight forward. The resistors are right there and very easy ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Markus,Have you discussed with George the option to change your cathode resistor from the stock 1K ohms to the recommended 1.2K ohms value. They are said to reduce the initial power surge (current) stress on the output tube. The Elrog engineers b... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Hi Frank, Knowing how much the SR Black fuses dramatically impacted your system, , it will be very interesting to see how far the cables extend this progression relatively speaking. I'll stay tuned for sure. Charles, | |
| Is it all worth it? +1 Chayro ! The High End audio direction towards "hyper" detail and "ultra" resolution does seem to pull one's attention from music and instead an intense focus or obsession with the sound. There is the potential for eventual frustration and even... | |
| what pre-amps to try Phillip,I agree with your very positive impressions of the Coincident Statement, it is superb in my opinion. It is about as natural and transparent as one could desire.I did not recommend it as it is priced above Mizike's stated price range Cha... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hello David, It's really good to hear from you. I understand you decision regarding the Elrogs, it's a practical conclusion to reach. I love their sound so much I was resolute in giving them another opportunity. I did do the recommended cathode re... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... David and Frank, It's seems we all have very similar musical tastes, I've owned that Jessica Williams CD for quite some time and agree with your impressions. Frank, I'm really looking forward to reading your SR power cable listening experiences. C... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jetter,That's true.Components, cables and certain tube replacement/upgrading, it can become expensive in a hurry. What makes these fuse tweaks so attractive is their performance /cost ratio . The power cables could certainly be worth every penny ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Cal,I'm glad you are happy with the SR RED fuses, they're an excellent tweak in the Frankenstein. It's good to know that you're continuing to enjoy this SET amplifier. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank, Our audio systems have different components. Your amplifier is moderate power KT 150 tube based push pull. Mine is low power 300b tube SET. Despite the obvious contrast we have near identical results with the SR Black fuses. They have as yo... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank, I also love the Hammond B3 organ as utilized in jazz. I feel just as strongly concerning the beautiful vibraphone. It seems jazz musicians bring out the best of what these instruments have to offer. Charles, |
