| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Jtubes, incidentally - and I meant to say this earlier - I also use a SR Red fuse in the P300. I bought a Black fuse, but actually didn’t like it in that application. it’s interesting we both use the Red in the P300, or at least that’s what I thou... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Jim:That’s intriguing, but let me think that over. I am not sure that I want to pull the outlet out, as it’s in a tight place with a bookcase in front of it. And if I decide to do it, no need for you to get the outlet: Lowe’s is nearby and it woul... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Justubes2, that’s great how you’ve arranged units. I did the same thing in my PS Audio: however, it had the Teslaplex SE and an FIM outlet. I couldn’t get both units to fit in there: the Furutech is larger than a standard outlet. So, I could put i... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Justubes, thanks for the observations. I'll have to listen to everything plugged in to the Shunyata line distributor - and all on one outlet - to determine what's responsible for the sound I'm getting. Do you have both of these in your system now... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? I’ve had the Synergistic UEF Black in the system for a week.Let me get the questions posed out of the way. Yes, it looks like the Pass Seymour outlet.I did not do the magnet test: I had put it in immediately after it arrived. However, I wrote Syne... | |
| Manley Jumbo Shrimp upgrade You might, w_g, want to look at some other threads, where the person measured the fuse's output (I have no idea what thread it's on) and found that he could determine the correct direction.And while your experience is unique to you, it's absurd t... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? In my experience, the Maestro, while a very good outlet, lacks the dynamic vigor it should. It seems not to have a very dynamic upper midrange/lower treble range, which gives it a "polite" sound in comparison to either Synergistic’s Tesla SE or Fu... | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE V Furutech GTX Years later, I’m weighing back in on the Furutechs, due to a recent purchase.I’ve had the Furutechs for years now, and they are every bit as good as I thought. That said, the NCF units Furutech released show that the rhodium version has a little l... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 Tablejockey, I’m actually listening thru a modest integrated right now. My Hurricanes blew and although I’ve had the problem taken care of, I haven’t put them back into the system yet, so I’m listening thru an NAD.After living with the Heimdall 2 ... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 Although this thread is old, I've had a few more experiences, so I am posting that experience.I bought two Heimdall 2 power cords in the past month, and then my dealer had a 20 amp Frey 2 power cord for a customer that wasn't broken in. Since I ha... | |
| best integrated amp. Hegel is very nice. I understand dave_b's statement, although my experience is that as you go up the line, you get more midbass. The H80 is lovely, but light in the midbass. the reviews say there's not any frequency that 'stands out' (meaning it's... | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? I agree with the original poster, although it's always subjective as to how far "downward" the site has drifted. Some would say a little bit, some would say a lot.I do know that before 2007, I had never had anyone scam me, but it has happened 3 ti... | |
| opinions on Nordost PC I have a Heimdall 2, and heard a Frey 2 (power cord). Heimdall won, but here's the twist: the dealer had not broken in the Frey 2 very much. I don't care what Nordost or anyone else says: these things take WEEKS to break in, 24/7. I've owned EVERY... | |
| Creating space between interconnects & keeping cables off the floor I’ve not had a cable on the floor since 1990, when Enid Lumley of TAS, espoused the idea that something to do with "skin effect" caused cables lying directly on the floor to sound blurrier. What the hell, thought I. I got up immediately and poised... | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? Yes. And turn off your microwave, dedicated circuits or no. I have 6 dedicated lines, and yet I can hear the microwave. It is not just this house: I heard it when I lived in San Francisco in my apartment, which also had dedicated lines. And I test... |
