| Synergistic Research HFT's No. Not that I asked. As I mentioned I've never felt the Black needed to break in anyway ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Got my Blue outlet burning in on my Dharma Cable Cooker now -- have a pair of power cords (one with its plug cut off) so that one is plugged in, and the other is connected to the screws on the outlet. The Cable Cooker is set at the level for burni... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Well I have my Blue duplex now but I cannot afford to lose hundreds of hours waiting for it to break in (not that I ever felt that my Blacks changed that much over time btw). So what I'll do is rig up an old power cord so I can burn it in via my C... | |
| Spay for CD Dumb response because some of us own thousands of them; because most CDs when played back in an optimized system (often not cheap and can be very complex) can sound amazing;because some of us still like to buy CDs especially direct from the artist... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? @brownsfan all SR products (and the BB is no exception) come with a 30 day no questions asks return policy so you should only be out return shipping costs (and possibly outbound shipping as well, at least I got charged that when I returned mine). ... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? @brownsfan my experience with the SR Black Box was not positive. I have a full suite of SR ART, HFTs, FEQs and Atmosphere which work well and add to the air and space on recordings but for me the BB sucked the life and energy out of the room -- if... | |
| CDs Vs LPs @roberjerman - fact is they do, my CD playing rig is far more complex, tweaky and costly than my vinyl setup and can still be improved.and while I still prefer LPs it’s amazing how good red book CD can sound | |
| Elapsed Time Counter for Tracking Stylus Life The meters come from this site www.zoro.com -- other parts from Parts Express and a nice case from Polycase | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? @whart. Glad you appreciate the quotation 😉I have actually always used two stage power conditioning, a system wide transformer and a dedicated pair of conditioners for sources and power amps. In my old Santa Monica set up I had a Equitech balanced... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? @wisciman99 ignore the nattering nabobs who dismiss any sort of tweak or system accessory. The only thing you can do is try something in your system. Luckily power conditioners are easily available used and also easy to resell. A good conditioner ... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's I have a Blue duplex arriving Monday as well. I’ll install it on one of my lines and compare it to the Black powering my amps and report back | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's No, @jhrlrd the HFTs are complementary to existing room treatments (provided of course the relevant reflection points are clear) -- check out my room on virtual systems to see how I combine ASC and SR products | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's @jhrlrd the HFTs are actually ideally “energized” by an FEQ or Atmosphere which are RF frequency devices. So their effect is independent of playback level. Even without a separate SR energizer the effect is very audible at all playback levels | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I've been following the history of TC with some interest and after hanging back for a while purchased a set and applied it to my interconnects, super-tweeter connections, and select power cords. I've been leery to post my findings in large part pu... | |
| Record collection sales addvice You could catalog your collection on discogs and then potential buyers can both check it out and see values directly. It will also allow you to judge offers. The discogs app is very easy to use (direct barcode scanning for example). Clearly it wil... |
