| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I saw Dave Pritchard’s comments about wall outlets. I have most of the same as he does; Oyaide R-1, Teslaplex, Teslaplex SE, Furutech GTD-X (rhodium), FIM 880s, (blue and white: I like the blue better, but the FIMs sound a bit soft) PS Audio Class... | |
| HFTs or more fuses Well, I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the Quantum Black fuse. I put just one in my Arcam FMJ 23 and just wandered into the room a little while ago after giving it 5 days to break in. Pulled it out of mute and was immediately smacked in the... | |
| HFTs or more fuses Rockyboy:There certainly IS a 30 day return on Synergistic’s fuses. In fact, I just - 10 minutes ago - spoke to Andy at Synergistic Research, because I was curious about the new Black fuses, AND because my dealer also told me there was no longer a... | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle I think it's clear that the Synergistic Tesla Plex SE (not the original Tesla Plex) is a bit bright and glaring in the upper midrange. The other side of that is that it excavates voices in a way that no other outlet does - not even the Furutech, b... | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle Well, true to my own dictum to give it at least a year, now it's been 3. I've bee using the Furutech GTX-D ® for the past 2 1/1 years. Due to needing another dedicated outlet, I put in the Synergistic and had the electrician come over. After he fi... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Well, I was one of those who had the expensive stuff - that is, up until 1998, and then I got tired of 'keeping up.'However, for those who are saying the reviews are due to advertising (and by corollary, the components are not as good as they say:... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? Thanks, I do have Audio Horizons fuses, too. However, there has been an interesting development in the past two days, which I posted in another thread.My system - for a long while - seemed undynamic,and the dimensionality of images was close to n... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? You are correct - to a point, so let me amend that, then.Room INFLUENCES EVERYTHING. Even HP, if you read his TAS review of the WATT/Puppies in issue 65, seems not to have gotten the best out of the WATTS, as contradicted by Dave Wilson's comment ... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? Well, your room is certainly big enough. Do you have acoustic treatment in the corners (bass traps)? And at the first and second reflection points?Also, you do need to pull the speakers out in the room and away from the side walls if you have not ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This is interesting. I've been using different fuses, since (and I had to come on here to see when I first started posting about fuses: senior moment…) 2012.Just 4-6 days ago, I noticed that my system sounded really, REALLY bright, especially on M... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? My bad. While I don't disagree with what I wrote above, I DID change the orientation of the fuses in the NAD, and the "thinness" in the tone changed. It is still not as rich as I've heard the NAD (not euphonic, just, again, how it sounds in Carneg... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? I agree with Spacer. I have just commented on another thread that there is a loss of tone color when, just to improve it, I bought 5 fuses for my NAD C325 BEE integrated. I initially thought it clearer, but I also noticed a thinness to the sonics ... | |
| Review: Furutech TF-10A Pure Transmission Fuse Tweak This is very interesting.I'm going to suggest that the Furutech is not universal in all applications. I purchased several for an NAD integrated. Now, keep in mind that an NAD has a rather "rich" sound, weighted as it is towards the midrange and ba... | |
| Gold or Rhodium I've had both. I found the Gold to have a "softer" sound, more akin to what you would get further back in Carnegie Hall, the hall I know best.The Rhodium makes it sound as though you are closer, with the result being that the music seems "faster" ... | |
| Hegel H300 I am in possession, not of the H300, but the H80. I'm a bit disturbed that there is less mention of how instruments and voices sound, or any allusion to how it sounds compared to say, Audra McDonald at the Met, or Bob Dylan live, or a symphony at ... |
