Surprised by Synergistic Red Fuse on Source for 99
Hifial,You guys posting here have persuaded me. Saying that they improve upon the Quantum is noteworthy as these have been beneficial in my system. Charles,

Correction, The Line Magnetic 219ia has the 300b driver not the 518ia.

Tubegroover,If you're interested in SET amplifiers with more power than a 300b provides, the LM 518ia and Coincident Turbo 845 are serious built and executed choices. Yes they're heavy beasts and for good reason, major power supply and transformer...

Hi Knghifi,I hear you regarding the Red fuse and I'll get some soon. I must admit that the Tripoint Troy is not inexpensive even used. I'll also tell you that it's a brilliant addition to my system, I'm thrilled to own this superb product. Charles,

Mapman,That glowing color ring is a compelling feature and could be a must have for some buyers.Charles,

My gut feeling is that the Glow is a good sounding SEP (single ended pentode, el84) and likely a step above the Dennis Had offerings. The Glow weighs 14.3 pounds, uses small amounts of NFB anc has solid state rectification. The Dynamo weighs 22 po...

Knghifi,You findings are intriguing. I use the SR Quantum fuses successfully, these red versions could be even better.

Tubegroover,Your comment about the Lamm/Coincident Frankenstein owner is interesting. I know the Lamm can drive speakers that the Frankenstein would find difficult to handle. If the speaker is an appropriate match the Frankenstein can hold its own...

I think the fact that we're discussing the exceptional ability of a 1300.00 amplifier can't be overlooked. Some would consider this a "bargain" priced for a power cord, pair of interconnectd or vibration control stand/footers. We are talking about...

Tubegroover,I agree with you, this has been a very informative thread with many good contributions, this is what I look forward to on this site. I've become plain worn out with the battleground threads with the same predictable lines drawn in the ...

Hi Al, Your insight and technical perspective is always welcome. This is a fine example of very logical use of measurements (Al) vs actually listening to the pairing of amplifier and same speaker (Bill).It seems this combo can do quite a lot with ...

Mikirob, I was working under the same premise as well. The thread focus was on amplifiers such as Dennis Had, Decware and the Dynamo. The LM 518ia moves to a difference price level. No one can really know if Rebbi will prefer the SET over his Manl...

Hi Rebbi,It was definitely worth your time to create this thread given the feedback you've received. 
Pre + Amplifier Recommendation
Tls49,+1. Depending on the speaker used, 1-10 watts is all you'd ever require. On the other hand there are speakers where 300 watts of power is inadequate under certain conditions. High current capability is sometimes more of a factor than the wat...

Hello Tim,As long as you openly acknowledge your status (reviewer, dealer, manufacturer etc.) it's fine, Srajan posts here on occasion. I hope to read more of your 6 Moons reviews as they're well written, detailed and enjoyable. Your taste in musi...
