The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
After reaching around twenty new sound plateaus with fairly-easy-to-implement improvements in isolation, cables, power cords, fuses, TC past, Omega Mats, tubes, power supply--I am convinced there is no limit to improving the same components in a s... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Good, and I see the "orange" thread has been restored---nice work.  
Need a new BD player, region free
Yes, I would keep the OPPO for a second TV room and a back-up CD player, as I find nothing wrong with its image playback---do need an all-region player, and the 4K would be nice for my next TV.  
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
SR runs an ad, there is a fee or commission to be paid, or am I a rube? 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Yes, I noticed, as well. You are merely informing us of your test results prior to the retail release of an SR product about to be advertised here, to the benefit of Audiogon. While some threads may seem like shameless commercial promotion, just a... 
New SR Orange fuse ...
Better left to fruits and vegetables, the color orange hasn't worked on cars, carpet or clothing since the '60s and '70s, but Halloween is coming---guess I'll overlook their appearance and order some oranges. even though I have around twenty black... 
New SR Orange fuse ...
Thanks for the news, Frank.  You ARE saying a lot about a fuse that beats the SR black-to-blue improvements.  Have you heard anything from SR about how this is achieved?   
Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer?
Is Audioquest a high-end HDMI cable?  I got one of theirs for $400 for my DVD player--was told the image would have more depth.  Hard to quantify, but it does look good. Is there a USB or ethernet equivalent for computer/DAC-based front ends and s... 
What’s really hurting the audio hobby?
I wouldn't worry too much about the condition of audio. Each passing generation decries what is lacking in the next.  Youth are getting their music---SUV sound systems have 6-10 speakers and sound pretty good.  I Phones and ear buds aren't half ba...

And if we accepted that journalism is the "enemy of the people", we would be left only with Faux Newsless.....losers!   
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
I am grooving on the E mat I finally put over my breakers--I guess I didn't think I needed one there because I have a big transformer right at the components.  And the TC continues to work mojo there and in my new AC cord.  The cynics may visit to... 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Uber, tell your fan the threads are a front and we are really members of the Perfect Path Temple.  We have passed through The Gate and have reached a state of Total Clarity.  That should keep him going.....    
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Interesting, überwaltz--on the one hand, the Gate outperforms numerous mats, but on the other, it is reassuring the mats can continue to complement in coverage at the same locations throughout.  They are still useful for those who have made the in... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Congrats, bat, you will be greatly rewarded by Total Contact and the mats.  They are addictive, as in, need more.  The great part is that they continue to improve over weeks, so you don't need more right away.  Looks like you have a primo set up--... 
The music’s the thing but....
Agree with miller carbon--the "easy" tweaks make the hobby fun. The challenge is to get the right components in place, those that match your budget, room and preferences (speaker type, tube vs SS, digital vs vinyl, etc.) Once you are happy with th...
