Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I don’t know how it works but works it does! What almost every reviewer says about whatever tweak or device he’s reviewing. I find it a little bit hard to believe that none of the aftermarket fuse manufacturers provide any explanation for how thei... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Huh? Are there really ANY cases where aftermarket fuses failed to protect the equipment? I haven’t heard of any, maybe you have an inside track. As for stock fuses degrading the sound they will, like aftermarket fuses, degrade the sound less when ... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Wolfman, solid core interconnects are not spiraled. And shielding assuming they have such doesn’t protect against induced magnetic fields, only external RFI/EMI. Hum bucking is not generally employed for transformers although as you suggest it sho...

You might have no control over the issues I brought up but I do, Mopman.  Why on Earth would I bring up issues I have no control over?  I wouldn't.  Probably just wishful thinking on your part. 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
I just knew Mopman would ignore that post. Mopman is mopping the floor with me again. He’s fast on the trigger and the mop. Mopman is the Catcher in the Rye for young naive gullible folks just starting out.Lacking in sincerity?  I'm as serious as ...

"One thing you can’t hide is when you’re broken inside.""...bull frog’s croakin’...everything is broken."As fate would have it the system shoots itself in the foot, what with the induced magnetic field produced by current flowing through all cable...

Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have
I must have been looking for a downgrade, not an upgrade. I found solace from moving down the chain, not up the chain. I broke free of the chain of command.  Lol I unloaded my Sennheiser 600s and all tube Class A headphone amp with WWII Tung Sol r... 
I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid
There used to be a bunch around here (DC) but that was thirty years ago. Excaliber in Alwxandria, Myer Emco, Audio Associates, Paragon of Sound. There are still one or two. I'm guessing they didn't get the memo. 
I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately
Tube reliability. Now, there’s an oxymoron for ya. It’s because they are inherently UNreliable that you don’t see any more tube gear in military or commercial aviation. That all went away in the ’80s. Why? Reliability. The reason that old McIntosh... 
I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately
One of the best systems I ever heard anywhere anytime was an all McIntosh system, the system in question was up on Red Mountain in Aspen and was used for practice sessions sometimes by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.  That was back in the days when McIn... 
Favorite CD treatment Products
Liquid Resolution was in the top three for sure but went away when Brian Kyle RIP of Extreme AV passed a couple years ago. I only bring it out, what's left, for special occasions.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I’m not sure we don’t already have an answer to the whole wire and fuse directionality issue. In fact we hd the nswersgoes about 25 or 30 years ago when cable mnufacturers first began putting arrows on their interconnects and other cables. And how... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
"Question? If AC changes direction 120 times per second or 60 cycles per second [60hz]... how then can a change in fuse orientation make a difference in sound quality if there is a constant cycle change in the flow of current? Am I missing somethi...
