| Looking to Upgrade Outlet The SR Black outlets would seem an obvious choice given you like the SR line. It’s a very layered, rich and musical outlet that I have in my system and was a good step up over the TESLA Plex outlet I had previously | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @2channel8 i used to own a Wand+. It’s a great sounding tonearm for the money and in my system outperformed an SME-IV. It definitely has a unipivot zip and liveliness that was what I was looking for. As with any unipivot it takes some attention to... | |
| Iphone App for tuning your system in the room the SpectrumAnalyzer from ONYX Labs is a pretty good real time analyzer. You should also look into getting a better mic for the iPhone as the inbuilt mike has some known deviations. Overall however i find these apps as more helpful confirmatory to... | |
| Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it. Having taken SR products apart in the past (Galileo MPCs, Galileo interconnect shielding boxes etc) I have to say at least historically the build quality and content was definitely "meh". The more recent stuff, like the Powercell 12UEFSE is much m... | |
| Anyone have issues with shipping Canada to USA? Ship Canada Post and mark as used and you should have no issues -- at $200 I don't think any duty is due anyways. I've shipped loads of things both ways via the post office with no issues | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Perhaps it's just the less constructive posters who are being blocked -- seems as if Geoff and I can post freely to the original Blue thread 😌 | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Thread the Blue thread is alive and well (like the Blues in my power amps)https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-new-synergistic-research-blue-fuses | |
| Phonostages with Adjustable Curves, the Concise List @chakster this recent review illustrates the value of multiple curves to suit the way specific records were cut (nothing to do with loading)https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/gold-note-ph-10-phono/ | |

| THREAD SPECS FOR THREADED CARTRIDGES Most are M2.5 | |
| Long RCA interconnects OK that's a healthy 2mV output so the phono stage will be outputting 1.4V which is a good signal and should put you in as good a situation as you could hope to drive that long single ended run. If you had a .3mV output (i.e. typical low output MC)... | |
| AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se. Adding a link of a picture of the backhttp://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649227690-audio-research-ref5se-preamp-new-in-factory-sealed-box-...All ARC manuals are searchable, but oddly the manual does not specify what form the cord isAll the current... | |
| Long RCA interconnects Wow that’s a low gain phono stage (42dB/57dB) - so you could be in for some issues if you’re driving a long run off it. The stage itself is capable of driving a healthy 2-20V output but it would be good to know what’s coming in, what cartridge do ... | |
| Long RCA interconnects You might be lucky. I used to have a 30’ run single ended from my preamp to mono blocks. With it running below the floor in the crawl space I used to have no issues. I then moved temporarily to a rental and had to run it on the floor and it was un... | |
| Long RCA interconnects 18’ of single ended interconnects is a recipe for terrible hum and noise problems. 6’ is the practical maximum length for a single ended run. Do you have the option of running balanced cable? |
