| Synergistic Red Fuse ... One aspect of the Afterburner 8 AC outlet that attracts me is the plugs are copper and unplatted. In the overall scheme of things probably not a major point but I like the simpler and natural approach when viable.I don't doubt for a moment... | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? Good advice and comments given above. The tubes use in preamplifier are typically low signal and often run conservatively, they can last year's if of good quality.I have a Quicksilver preamp that I use in a 2nd system, it's 's 23 years old an... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Audio engineers and designers are not all cut from the same cloth. Some are rigid in their beliefs and feel the notion of tweaks or upgradeded parts and accessories are pure foolishnes and money wasted. Yet others who are just as talented an... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audiolabyrinth,I actually gave serious consideration to purchasing the Furutech GTX outlet, a audiogon member posted he had both the GTX and the Afterburnner8. He says they're both excellent sounding but in direct comparison he couldn't tel... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Lak,If the mprovement of 3 additional Red fuses is proportional to the single fuse, well this is going to be a phenomenal ROI. Factor in also I'll be replacing my generic AC wall outlet with the highly regarded Afterburnner. Since I need onl... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My components use the smaller size fuses which are 90 dollars, the larger fuses you require are 100 dollars. IMO to get the improvement I've realized, 400 dollars is a genuine bargain..Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Oregonpapa,Your listening reports nailed it! I had expectations for these fuses but this honestly caught me off guard. I believe you regarding additional burn in, as they clearly improved over a 5 hour listening session last night.Audio... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Okay, based on prior experience with premium fuses I am well aware of what they are capable of. One SR Red fuse in just my Line Stage and I'm near amazed by what I'm hearing tonight. This is quite a find. The degree of improvement from my cu... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Correction,The Kenny Burrell recording I'd mentioned is actually titled "A Night At The Vanguard" a very good live session from the early 1960s. I should have checked the CD cover before posting.In just a few hours the sound is improving, ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I recently received my SR Red fuses and have some early listening impressions. I began with a fuse placed only in the Line Stage and will reverse fuse direction in a few days to see if there's a difference. Next I'll do the SET amplifier and... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It seems with fuses people worry to much regarding their cost compared to stock fuses. IMO the emphasis should be on the end result of effect on sound quality. If people got a similar improvement with a premium tube upgrade, cables, isolation/vibr... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hey ddriverman,If your Berning amplifier runs conservatively your Elrogs should be fine.Congratulations and good luck. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa,Your reported results are very impressive! I hope the level of my improvement with the SR Reds comes close to what you have described. Those fuses cost a fraction of your components yet look (listen) at their positive effect, very enc... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fliz,Yes I did misinterpret your comment, my aplogies.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Knghifi,It is quite impressive what a high quality fuse can provide in already very good sounding audio equipment. This is why I say these premium fuses provide very high-value, given their performance per cost ratio. |
