| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Dave, you are 100% correct in your 12/26 post, the black fuses sounded glorious for the first 10 hours, then yesterday and today at 11 to 20 hours, the system sounded mediocre, comparable to mid-fi solid state from the 80's, tonally thin, undynami... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m laughing because there is no warranty on my amps or preamp. They are Grover Huffman custom designs of which there are four or five made. Obviously, the amps are operating just fine with the higher rated SR fuses and Elliott of SR suggested tha... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm quoting myself from 12/22 As to the blown main amp fuses, SR Elliott is sending 8 amp fuses because my big amps have a massive pair of capacitors each as opposed to multiple small caps like most modern amps. He said that the big caps dra... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... dlcockrumI hope what you stated concerning black fuse break-in is not true for me. The first 5 amp pair I used sounded great from 2.5 to 12/13 hours until they blew. I just received 8 amp fuses and played them for 4 hours. They sound great. When y... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well I’m up to 230 hours on my black duplexes. Sounds about the same as yesterday. The is blacker backrounds lowering the noise floor for LPs & 78s in particular. There is better transient response superior highs and tighter bass. The mid-rang... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... 150 hours on my smaller living room system. It sounds so musical and non-audiophile (as in high end systems at audio shows). The Signature IIIs highs are now totally integrated with the rest of the frequency spectrum. The rear tweeter always (1... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It’s interesting that in my living room system.i have the amp into the black and other equipment into the red (same 15 amp circuit on opposite sides of the wall). That combo is working well. I will probably spring for a black fuse for the Dynaco S... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have a problem with using the black duplex. I have only been using CDs to burn in the system. After 140 hours, I used my LPs for an excruciating hour of trial. The sound on about 10 mixed jazz, classical and pop records of great reknown sounded ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... 100 hours on the duplex with standard fuses. They appear to have broken in so that the mids are balanced with new superior bass and higher treble ranges and the ambiance, reverb, natural decay and air which was awol for the first three days are ba... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When I built my house I contemplated placing the amps near the speakers by putting in two underground floor duplexes at the speaker locations. I'm using them for Shakti air boxes instead | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Robert agrees but he doesn't hear any loss of bass. Now with the black duplex, the immense bass is tight, deep and moves enough air that you can feel it. That's one area that I'm sure is just fine especially with my Grover Huffman large gauge s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The advantage of running 25 foot speaker wires underground is no one will step on them as they cross the room. It's definitely cleaner and safer. Also no electrical interference or carpet caused static. 80 hours on the duplexes and they are more... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I felt I had a duty to report after reading 29 pages of postings. The naysayers are not helpful. Tweaks are system dependent. Higher end systems will generally be the most sensitive to changes. I chose to make the changes which give me the big... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am presenting my favorite tweaks to my mature Audio system. The first is two pair of Shakti Hallographs. They are essential to my large 7 driver box speakers. I eliminated all of my sound absorption and deflecting panels when I set up the Ha... | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability I have owned and used the Acute 1 for 7 years now. My choice of tubes is on the warm side, Amperex large O getter bugle boys. (I just got some 60's Siemens to try). It requires the best A/C power cord and interconnects to obtain great sound as wel... |
