Bad news for audiophiles?
Hi oregonpapa,I once bought my wife some of that "monkey poop" coffee for a Christmas stocking stuffer. It was fantastic, except I had to wait until we drank it all to tell her (and my daughters) of its origin. Back to Starbucks after that.  lolBe...

Hi Chris,I think the feet in the pic from the link I posted, if rigid, are maybe used in conjuction with the Symposium footers, perhaps for improved weight distribution or additional vibration transfer/absorption. I really like the piece under the...

Hi audiolabyrinth,Due to my overall preference for XLR ICs (my Ayre preamp and Krell amp are both fully-differentially balanced), the single-ended RSC Master Gen 2’s have seen little use between the initial purchase period and the recent re-introd...

One other thing in common: I am currently using Tara Labs RSC Master Gen 2 interconnects from Ayre preamp to DR-9 amps. Way old but excellent ICs. The "other woman" to the SR cabling (wife) in the rest of my system. lolBest to you audiolabyrinth,Dave

SR Fuse Orientation MW Sony 5400
Thanks wig.  May not come up with 800ma right way.  Would 1 amp cause any problems or offer any benefits?I appreciate your guidance,Dave

Synergistic Research Element Tungsten to Atmosphere upgrade
HI Colin,Couldn’t agree more re: Michael Spallone. Best bang for the buck tweak ever for SR active cable owners and he has bent over backwards to turn the MPCs quickly for me.. The Black fuses are amazing if you haven’t yet tried them.I hear good ...

Can one of you fine folks tell me what size and rating of fuse(s)  the 5400ES takes? Got one coming on Monday and wanted to round up some SR Black fuses for it.Thanks for your help.Dave

Jafant,I once owned the Krell 300i integrated. Had forgotten. A very nice piece and perhaps a "taste of Krell", but not ultimately representative of Krell's finest products IMO. You already know my opinions on good SS amps...Best to you,Dave
