| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've had the SR Red fuses in my Line Stage 9 days and the SET amplifier for 4 days. I can say unequivocally that they are exceptional value purchases and as Knghifi wrote earlier, offer great ROI, amen. The people who have posted on this thre... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Oregonpapa,,You have me confused with Ca3713 comments regarding the Quantum chips. I've never used them. Hi Ca,l, skepticism is a legitimate reaction to unusual products. I have no opinion on the various chips. I can only attest to the im... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audiolabyrinth,As I posted a couple of days ago , the Red fuses placed in the mono blocks led to further sonic improvement. I'll do my DAC in a few days. The benefit of these is unquestionable based on listening impressions of my system. I hav... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi JwmIs this because you find they all have an identifiable sonic signature or theoretical based on the fact they're class D? Just curious.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Rob,Happy New Year to you as well.I've also decided to go with the Oyaide WPC-Z outlet cover with the Afterburner 8. I'll use the Furutech cover elsewhere. I believe putting some high quality parts at the AC wall receptacle will payoff for t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audiolabyrinth,I know that the Furutech GTX requires extensive burn in hours.To the best of my knowledge I don't believe the Afterburner 8 needs nearly as much time. One week should be plenty of adequate burn in. This is an unplatted outl... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... David,Lak has offered to burn in my Afterburner 8 outlet for a week on his Audio karma Cooker and I accepted his gracious offer.I'll ship it to him on Monday.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've now placed the Reds into my SET mono blocks and the effect is clearly noticeable though not quite as dramatic as the Line Stage(at least so far). Definitely worthwhile. I will do the DAC in a couple of days, then install the Afterburner 8 AC... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Rob,The Coincident Frankenstein and Line Stage both use 3 amp slo blo. The closest SR Red is 3.1 amps, so no problems. You'll be okay with your near match as well.Charles, | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Ivan,Good thoughts and perspective.One man's accurate and neutral is another man's sterile and dry.One man's natural and holistic is another man's too warm and colored.Charles, | |
| Best Jazz pianist Bdp24,Technical chops are as you note a different criteria and just a portion of what makes a musician someone you love to hear. Buddy Rich is an excellent example, supreme virtuoso yet there are numerous other drummers I'd rather listen... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Sunnyjim,No this topic isn't "out there" but is very relevant IMO.The two most important criteria for me when judging audio components are natural tonality and emotional communication and engagement. It these qualities are lacking no other attri... | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? Convenience is a very legitimate concern. For me the actual sound quality and the music listening experience is the overwhelming criteria for choosing an audio component. | |
| Best Jazz pianist Oregonpapa,Whence I first became really interested in jazz I was naturally drawn to the big and established names. So it was a lot of Oscar Petterson, I like him. Later on I discovered Thelonious Monk. I wouldn't say Oscar lacks soul but he d... | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? Yep,AL makes a good and specific observation, my reply was more general in nature. My original (early version) Coincident Line Stage had 18 db of the gain. My DAC has an output of 3.2 volts and my speakers are 94 dB sensitivity. I had too much ... |
