| Does anyone know about putting marker on CDs? Just for the record (no pun intended) the colors on the CDs you acquired are actually reversed and that will unfortunately hurt the sound of all of the CDs, rather than improve the sound. Green ink should be only used on the outer edge and black i... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa wrote,"mapman...You can bet that there are those of us who are waiting with baited breath for your assessment of the fuse."With baited breath? Nice Freudian slip. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable "Using exotic cables to achieve a desired sound is not cost effective."That statement is actually an excellent example of what is known as a Strawman argument. Misstating the opposing side’s position. It’s a common ploy of those who object, perhap... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... We are expecting a little choppy weather ahead, so we’ve turned on the Fasten Seat Belts sign. :-) | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... geoffkait: "Maybe we need a new lexicon."To which Roger responded,"How about real or not real?Believable or not believable?"Not bad, but I prefer Hyper Real, Surreal and More Real than Real. Oh, and Unbelievable! or perhaps Un-freaking-believable! | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Have words lost their meaning? Words and terms like smooth, refined, detailed, wide soundstage, organized soundstage, bass shy, microdynamics, de-interleaved, irritating, tortuous, threadbare, innocuous, harsh, whimpy, congealed, boomy, honky, mus... | |
| Turntable isolation... Yes, the main similarity is the matching of spring rate to the load. Which of course is the right approach. | |
| Turntable isolation... The Vibraplane is a spring system too, you know, air being a compressible fluid, so an air spring has a spring rate just like a steel spring and the reason it’s so stable is because it doesn’t isolate in at least some of the rotational directions,... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Davidpritchard wrote,"The Synergistic Research Black fuse is definitely directional. This is coming directly from Synergistic Research in a call I placed. They suggest the flow of current to go From the "S" end to the "R" end."Of course it’s direc... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa wrote,"By the way .... I’m getting sound from records now that I never thought I’d ever hear. If you have a phono stage that takes a fuse, be sure to put a SR Black fuse in there. Here’s the deal ... the AT ART-9, for the price of a $12... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Addendum to previous post regarding directionality of SR fuses, in particular the Black fuse.This is an excerpt from the Stereo Times review of an earlier SR fuse that addresses the subject of fuse directionality (of SR fuses) as apparently SR see... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa wrote,"^^^ ... Hmmm ... I don’t recall anything about SR saying their fuses weren’t directional. I may have missed it though."at this point in time I suspect SR doesn’t really care one way or the other since it’s common knowledge or at ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa wrote,"^^^First hand ... second hand ... from the horse’s mouth. No matter, geoffkait ... the info I have came from SR’ s Facebook page. If you want to try a WA fuse chip on your Black fuses ... go for it. As for me ... I’ll take SR’s w... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? As audiophiles continue to stove pipe their systems and as the high end shifts into high gear at least as far as prices go I've dumped my perfectly fine Sennheiser 600/Woo Audio All-tube Headphone amp/Hyper modded Oppo 103 for the peace and harmon... | |
| FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords. Let’s see, how long has it been since aftermarket fuses first appeared on the scene? Twenty years. Gosh, it seems just like yesterday. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away....It was 20 years ago today Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play..... |
