| Graphene in fuses and cost You're welcome to read my many other posts on fuses (as I did yours - at great length). Tonight even. Done the fuse directionality thing. Pointed that out. Many times. NOT the point here.The only 'odd' thing is that the thread here is about costs.... | |
| Graphene in fuses and cost Apparently, I phrased that in a way it could be misunderstood, so let me attempt a "do-over."My second line was "small comfort, but it IS A GUARANTEE." I meant - that for those who are upset about the cost - the cost itself is bound to chafe, but ... | |
| Graphene in fuses and cost The only thing to keep in mind is that Synergistic does offer a 30 day money-back guarantee. Small comfort, but it IS a guarantee. And some of the fuses are more demonstrably better than others. The Black is decent, but not tremendously better tha... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Hi Aux. First of all, the Furutechs have plenty of time on them. I typically leave a component running for 3 weeks with signal going thru them. In other words, 500 hours...Now, for the foot-in-mouth apology.I came across the Furutech fuse (I had f... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, My Papa. Me, either. So much so that I ordered 3. I kept deleting the 4th one from the order. It was a 5A fuse that I was going to put into the PS Audio. I had to remind myself to test only the NAD, although I looked at the CJ preamp, longing... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? auxinput - thanks, in return, for your post. I like the exchange of ideas. It is so much more pleasant to discuss and agree - or disagree - politely, than some of the name calling that happens in so many other forums (and it seems, even in this on... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I agree with Oregonpapa: try the fuses and return them within 30 days if they don’t improve your system. I have no qualms whatsoever about doing this. Not that I was thrilled at the increase in price (is anyone????), but given that I can get my mo... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Auxinput: I don't disagree that the Furutechs are "transparent." However, they achieve that by "leaning out" the power range of music. And my system was assembled with several different components in each section: I have 5 speaker systems, two pre... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil When I realize the original subject was getting the cables off the floor, I realize how far this has drifted off the subject, but since I posted about that, I thought I'd also post again about the Seismic platform and pods.I just discovered - like... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? I would be VERY careful with the Furutech fuses. Let me first say that all of my wall outlets are Furutechs: I had the GTX -D Rhodiums, and, until the NCF came out, I completely missed how bland they were and how much color that was a part of the ... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Incidentally, the 4 Townshend Isolation pods arrived. I put them under the NAD integrated and...hmmm, couldn’t hear the improvement. Needless to say, I disagree with Mr. Levi of Positive Feedback:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue75/townshend_... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Geoffkait, I’ve always considered your comments to be balanced, informative and fair, so I would ask that you TRY the Townshends before commenting on what they "seem like." It is POSSIBLE that your springs come close to or, Max Townshend forbid (!... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Geoffkait, no doubt you're right. There are, I'm sure, many solutions and ways to isolate to 2 hZ. A friend was given the Townshend isolation platform to put into his modest system (which I gave him). The Townshend improved his system a whole lot.... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil tgun5:You might be surprised to know that Jonathan Valin, TAS’ chief writer, arrived at the same conclusion about the ceramic lifters. As I recall, he found that they "leeched out" the natural colors of the orchestra.I don’t know Mr. Wolf, but in ... | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? And now for an update...The Townshend platform is impressive, but I thought the dynamics just to be squelched, and the soundstage just a little compressed... And then I looked one shelf lower at my Evans microgroove Plus phono stage. Given all the... |
