| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? tbg:At RMAF the headphone area is quite noisy so except for evaluating physical comfort of the headphone on the head it is rather limited in doing serious evaluations. Look for the few rooms on the upper floors that will have headphones. Evaluate ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Andynotadam:I am glad you were listening to Savoy Brown. A talented British Blues Band with some real good Marshall amp powered guitar playing. They did not get much radio air time but were quite good. They really torn up the Zephyer Club in Salt... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... barbapapa:Thank you for the interesting report on the PS Audio Forum by Mark. This is a good data point for those interested in the Audio Magic fuses. I hear significant improvements using the latest generation of fuses as compared to the fuses I ... | |
| Any Denver/CO Based Atma-Sphere Owners? Atmosphere will be exhibiting their amps at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in October. A great chance to hear their amps over a three day period and talk to the designer and owner of Atmosphere.David Pritchard | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... andynotadam:Actually I think your post is on topic because the improvement to a system that uses the Synergistic Black fuses and Black wall outlets allows streaming sources to really sound wonderful. The enhanced spacial information, the blacker ... | |
| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? Those that want the sound to change as they move their heads should investigate the Smyth Realizer system. This is mature technology that has been available since 2009. It is very impressive to listen to when sitting. Another approach to headphone... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... dbarger:Thank you for the reminder that to insure that a component has no active circuits, it must be unplugged and not just turned off. Hey that's just what they always tell me to do at the computer "help" site after putting me on hold for 30 mi... | |
| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? Tbg:I hope you will give updates on your headphone journey.Last night my headphone listening session was most satisfying. I feel as if I am in the performance room, church, or concert hall.Binaural recordings (the one's I have) do not offer a spec... | |
| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? tbgGetting a soundstage using headphones that makes the listener forget the sound is between the ears is a challenge, but it can be done.The most practical starting point is using Sennheiser 800 headphones. They have the biggest soundstage, are li... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... A friendly reminder to all that replace fuses in their equipment to remember to turn off the equipment before replacing the fuse. I do not know why but changing the fuse recently with a different fuse resulted in the new fuse blowing. I would gues... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al we share a common link in owning Carver products. In medical school, I "upgraded" to a used Bob Carver Phase Linear 700 amp. Well it certainly did make my Klipsch Cornwalls play LOUD ! I am not sure about all of his design skills, but he was on... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... lowrider57:What an interesting amp design from a real audio personality in Bob Carver. I will leave all the engineering to Al. This circuit is way more complicated than my thankfully simple SET amp circuits. Being you have an older amp , Al gives ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... lowrider:Thank you for a most interesting post. I am glad you auditioned the fuse in both directions.Too much detail - and the emotional response to this change. This is a fascinating situation. The RED fuse does have less detail and background no... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... tommylion:I am glad to hear the Black fuse is making an excellent DAC even better.You may get whiplash shaking your head at how fast yet clean Oscar is playing!When does something as trival as changing a fuse become meaningful. I was reminded of t... | |

He uses ARC and is a true expert with ARC cabling.I also suggest replacing the stock fuses and the A/C wall outlet used with Synergistic Research Black fuses and the... |
