| Fuses that matter. Oh, Phooey!The last Synergistic Research fuse arrived, and I replaced the AMR fuse in the PS Audio Power Plant. So, now both the Hurricanes and the Power Plant ALL have SRs in them. By the way, I have 3 of each: 3 SRs, 3 HiFi Supreme Tuning Fuses,... | |
| Fuses that matter. Well, perhaps more time is needed, but the AMR fuses did not come through on the amps as the fuse did in the PS Audio Power Plant. The sound is a bit cloudy, with a definite rolling off around 4k. Very much the opposite of bright: dull.Which of yo... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg:My AMR fuses just arrived.As a matter of keeping it a controlled experiment, I changed ONLY the fuse in the PS Audio Power Plant 300 (which,for the past year, has had a 5 amp, slow-blow, HiFi Tuning gold fuse in it). I wanted to hear only the ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai:I'd have to disagree with your statement. A room has nodes because of its dimensions. "Equipment" does not affect room nodes: the room itself has this, as water, in a container, has different weight, texture and movement than does milk, or w... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original eoff:I'm not interested in doing the experiment. You are. Therefore, my suggestion was that YOU do it, not direct me to do it. I'm simply REPORTING what Peter McGrath and Robert Harley posited. It was THEY who posited that the larger pits allowed ... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original It sounds as though you know how to do this, Geoff. I do not. How about doing it as you have the knowledge and filling us in on what you heard? | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Goodwin:Good sense of humour, mate! Tube amps don't take 3 hours to warm up, but the chips do seem to develop whatever "magic" is in them over a period of hours. The diary entry was an update of how it sounded after 3 hours of the Quantum chips, w... | |
| Fuses that matter. Thanks for the insight, Lacee. I believe that, different though all of our systems are, some things have traits that are inherent in the design. A mini-monitor, for example, will have, of necessity, a lack of lower bass, and nothing can put that b... | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg:Thanks! You are my new (audio) hero!I'll try turning the SRs around after a few days of listening to them. I just came out of the listening room, and chose Rick James' Greatest Hits. The CD looks as thin as a size 0 model on a runway, but the ... | |
| Audio fuses Flashunlock, what is the equipment into which you placed the fuses? I used the HiFi Supremes up until yesterday, when I put one SF fuse into one amp and left the HiFi Supreme in the other amp. Not much differentiation there, and I should disclose ... | |
| Fuses that matter. The Synergistic Research fuses arrived yesterday (but UPS put them in the garage. It's only 20 degrees out, so that shouldn't affect them much, right?? :-(I put one SR fuse in, replacing a HiFi Supreme fuse (with the WA Quantum fuse on it). I hear... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai:I'm going to, for the sake if argument, suggest that room treatment is the FIRST place to start, even before the components. (And let me tell you, I myself never started out that way: it took many years for me to realize the room counted so ... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original Good question, and I'm no expert on that one!It would seem the practical course of action is to email either Peter McGrath or Robert Harley, and find out if there's been an exploration of why this happens, along with whatever limitations (exclusio... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I have found the room to be the biggest contributor to sound, Sabai. Even an untreated 13 x 27' room, with many openings (a la Spanish architecture) allows the sound to move into other areas of a house without hitting boundaries, as I found out fo... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original There was an issue in TAS where Peter McGrath, engineer for Wilson recordings, heard a copy of the CD and it sounded better. I believe the word he uttered was "impossible!"As it turned out (on CD at least), the CD-R/RW pits are wider than the comm... |
