| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? jetterAnd lets not forget the little blind naysayer people following the little blind nonbeliever sheep. Geeze, and now there are little minds, little statesmen, and the philosophers and divines are, I’m guessing, kind of little too. None so blind... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Finally, the answer on fuse directionality from Synergistic! Rejoice, ye refuseniks!from Synergistic web page for the new Blue fuse, Frequently asked questions.Q: Are fuses directional?A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from t... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable Actually, slate or marble or granite, assuming it’s not too thin, provides significant isolation against rotational forces attempting to bend the plate or slab, by virtue of its mass and stiffness. I am a big fan of bluestone, the gray blue stone ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." - old audiophile axiom 😀 | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolfie, if you're going to carry on you could at least get your facts straight. SR doesn't fill their fuses with anything. Nice try, though, slugger. | |
| Cable Survey Geoffkait: Whoa! Appeal to Authority Alert! Big time! 🤔To which mmrkaic replied,"My dear friend, there is no appeal to authority here, just an explanation why I don’t fall for pseudo-scientific BS that is peddled by many in the audio community.Inc... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable "Taut and rigid" seems like a good approach but actually this approach allows structural vibration to be transmitted *more easily* than "flexible and wobbly." This was the idea behind the Flexy Rack of yore. It’s also the idea behind isolation (de... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Crystals react to energy. The energy could be acoustic waves, I.e., mechanical energy or vibration such as structureborne vibration. Both are application of my crystals. In other words crystals act as "resonators" and dissipate (unwanted) energy. ... | |
| SR Blue or Audio Horizons Platinum fuses Let’s look on the bright side. At least neither fuse made the sound worse. And neither fuse exploded. Win, win. | |
| Test Equipment vs The Ear Appeal to Authority Alert! Whoa! That’s two in one day! What are the odds? 🎲 🎲 | |
| Cable Survey Whoa! Appeal to Authority Alert! Big time! 🤔"I use 12 AWG speaker cables that I bought on Amazon for~$15 and the power cables that came with my amplifier. If I paid more, I would feel really stupid and exploited. Now, I have a Ms in physics and kn... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am a little curious to know what ever happened to Synergistic’s terminology Quantum Tunneling? It was an excellent ploy. Has it been replaced by Quantum Coupling? Maybe someone informed them that quantum tunneling is a very specific quantum phen... | |
| Graphene in fuses and cost Gbmcleod wrote,"The more important question - to which you would know the answer, as you have had a head start on me with the Blues - is: how long did you find they need to break in? The earlier ones seemed to take quite a while of steady playing.... | |
| Does a flat ceiling provide the best sound? What I had in mind with that post about colors of wall and ceiling wasn't so much the idea of making the room more comfortable per se, but affecting the way the mind perceives sound. More subconscious than conscious. More akin to mind matter inter... | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions I’d opine it’s a little more complicated. The resonant frequencies of tonearm, cartridge and platter which are circa 10-12 Hz means they’re liable to be affected by seismic I.e., low frequency vibrations including, but certainly not limited to, th... |
