Magico S5 review
The one part of this nice review that is underemphasized is the role Scott Walker had in allowing the original poster to hear the Magico's at their best. Both rooms Scott exhibited at Newport 2012 were best rated. He knows Magico's like few others... 
Audio fuses
The Synergistic Research fuses resulted in improved detail across the entire frequency range. Because no one frequency band was favored, there was not an increase in brightness, fatigue, of warmth. Instead there was a sense of more music playing i... 
Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?
After having my Audiodharma Cable Cooker (from Audio Excellence AZ) for two years, I think they are required equipment for any audiophile who wants to enjoy the full potential of their power cords, interconnects, speaker cables and even headphone ... 
Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?
Sabai,I have used the Tranquility Bases since June 1. A quite remarkable product. Excellent results under all 4 components I have now used them with- Marantz SA11-S1 SACD player, Marantz SA11-S2 SACD player, Art Audio PX-25 tube amp, and Eddy Curr...

Fuses that matter.
Fuses on the Marantz SA11-S1. The basic power fuse on this player can not easily be changed. It is hardwired to the circuit board. You can change the rail fuses by removing the top of the player. There are 5 fuses in the unit. 1.6 amp and 1.o amp....

Fuses that matter.
In the past I have had stock , Isoclean, and Furotech fuses in my Art Audio PX-25 tube amp, and my Marantz SA11-S2 SACD player. In June I replaced these fuses with Synergistic Research fuses. Since these were the power fuses at the A/C inlet the e... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
Nope, You bent(damaged) the equipment while you were modifing the equipment. It is now yours. This is exactly why there is AudioGon used equipment ads. Best wishes in a quick sale. 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
Yes it is easy and obvious to try a room with and without. The SR resonators are simply removed from their stands and the sound changes. I have done this with family members who do not know what the function of the resonators is. They have also be... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS vs spikes on concrete
I would make sure your spikes are actually penetrating the carpet and sitting directly on the concrete. I used a sharp pointed X-acto hobby knife to make a small "X" so the spike actually sits on concrete. It made an obvious improvement. 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
I have installed the Synergistic Research Acoustic Art Room Treatment System in my house. After adjusting the location of the system's resonating devices, my sound has never sounded better. I think this is a well thought out product that allows fo... 
Rick Schultz`s new cable
So Rick why don't you send BIOdrainx one of your new generation cables as restitution? This seems like the minimum you could do. Words without action is meaningless.David Pritchard

Which companies deserve a star for Christmas
Synergistic Research (SR) has provided service and advice that rates 5 stars. During the last year I have installed a SR based system in both my headphone system and my floorstanding speaker system. Multiple calls to clarify what power cord , spea...
