| Ethernet cables Thanks Allan I've heard alot of positive comments about these cables. | |
| Ethernet cables Anyone heard the newer Melco C100 ethernet cables? Supposed to be new technolgy to reduce noise and reasonably priced. Currently I have the DH Labs Reunion which are pretty good but down the rabbit hole I go! Greg Theis | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Model B with SCNP upgrade Thanks again Mike. I'm looking forward to the next level on my long obsession for musical Utopia! | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Model B with SCNP upgrade One more question on the DarTZeel NBH 108B. Any opinions on power cables? Greg | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Model B with SCNP upgrade Wow! Thank you for all the great clarification Mike. I have the Evolution Acoustic MM3's and normally I wouldn't buy a component like this without hearing it but this sounds like a perfect upgrade from my PS Audio BHK 250. Thanks again for all you... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Hi again Matt, I'm no expert either but unless I'm mistaken we have it right. The hot end is the forward end of the fuse which as you say goes straight in to the power supply. The SR is on the other end which is the fuse holder itself with the fu... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Matthew, I did the SLP 05 Ultimate Upgrade as well, along with the older Tungsten tubes. Maybe that combo with the fuses is the improvements we are hearing. I was afraid to try different directions on the fuses after the original problems so I n... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping highstream, Thanks for all the great advice and ideas. It makes sense that the manufacturers over spec to reduce warranty problems. I will do some more research and try some other quality fuses in the future. That said I really like these purple... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Bottom line for me is I agree with oldhvymec and see no danger except a possible fuse pops and they cost a lot. If it pops it's doing it's job. Meanwhile my stereo sounds like heaven on earth. Yeah It's worth the effort and it's a PINTA but isn't ... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping It's a dilemna for sure, They really do sound better with good gear. Synergistic told me the cheaper fuses are not very accurate on their rated values so they could be significantly higher than their rating. If that's the case the manufacturers w... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Guys, Synergistic has been quick to respond and replaced any of the fuses I popped at no charge and were willling to work with me to analyze posssible causes. My solution was easy. I turn my Carey SLP-05 preamp on first and then the power supply.... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Iwin, Tell me more about those tubes you swapped. What have you tried and how do they compare to something like my vintage Tungsten? I'm interested in how you ended up with the tubes you have. Also now that I have the purple SR fuses I'm breaking... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Not proving you wrong and really appreciate you sharing your vast experience on this. I know you were right as this is likely just a temporary fix till the caps get worse. As you suggested and so did Ted from Synergy, the preamp shouldn't pop a sl... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping oldhvymec and other audio nuts out there: noromance solved my fuses popping on start up. I just reversed the order and turned the power supply on last as the rectifier tube in the preamp warms up slowly. Wala the fuse held. Now to break in the ne... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Thanks for the feedback Iwin. The tech talk site really got me some answers on what's going on with the pre-amp and an apparent current rush that's causing the problem. Odd that I never had problems with the stock fuses. |
