| Opening a can of worms I say, buy the better cables--find a nice used set at half price, and they will be with you through many improvements of gear. The cheaper cables will be left behind at your first upgrade, and you will be left wanting. Try to make your own power ... | |
| Best wishes for Tom Petty Always liked his hits but never collected his music. What is the sonic quality of his remastered 2-CD anthology of 2000? Would like to have this if it improves on original releases. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... While this is as patently exciting as watching paint dry, may I get back to Al on my REL subwoofer hookup? Al, thanks for your research into REL's instruction manuals for the proper wiring of a mono block amp to the sub's balanced input. I have... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al, thanks for your response to my question on "pushed-value" SR Blacks in my AC input. Of note, the front-panel display on each amp now reads at 120-121V, whereas at lower fuse ratings, the line voltage was at around 117V. The operating range o... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Veerapaneni, you should have heard an improvement through such a pre-amp as yours--can you describe the rest of your system? I plan on getting the Blues for my Maggies, but happy at this moment, as described above. But seriously folks.......I ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Meanwhile, with these new SR Blacks, it got to where I had so many people playing in my living room, I had to go out the back door and come in through the front. I was hoping to switch the feeling of, "They are here" with "It's like you are there"... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks for your review of the new SR Blues, Frank. Had just purchased some SR Blacks via the three-for-two sale. I put a 4A in each of my Strata III subs (stock = 3.15A), paired with Maggie 3.6Rs. These SR Blacks replaced the SR 20's. At first ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank, sounds like you are doing well now. Didn't you say a couple months ago you were auditioning a top-secret tweak that you were going to reveal someday?I just updated my REL Strata III's with 4A SR Blacks in the mains, a bit over the stock... | |
| Your favourite 2017 album.? Just listened to the CD of "A Deeper Understanding", newly released by "The War On Drugs", and this is one impressive production---lush and expansive soundstage with good depth. If you like "Slave Ambient" and "Living In the Dream", this one is r... | |
| counterfeit CDR copys of Original Jazz Classics I have received a few of these CD-R products from Amazon. They have some 3rd party, on-demand "fulfillment" services. The jewel case is cheaply sealed, the liner is a cheap photocopy. It is best to scroll down to product description to ensure yo... | |
| Cable manufacturers? Can someone summarize who sells the UP-OCC and PCOCC copper wire made by Furukawa, etc for DIY cable building? I have bought Furutech's Alpha OCC AC cable, only to deconstruct it into its three conductors for easier use at screw terminals. How is... | |
| DCS Vivaldi stacks vs Esoteric Grandioso G1, D1, P1 stacks Caphill, thanks for this inquiry--it's fun to read a discussion about this level of gear because few have addressed every system detail as you have. If you had said you were not satisfied, the Zen response, "If you are not happy with what you hav... | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? I have found that every part of a system should be isolated from the floor, including transformers, speakers---everything--moving parts or not. Maybe not the heaviest of speakers, but Maggies for sure--too delicate to not be affected by vibration... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? A legacy as American as Harley-Davidson, Levi's, American lager and the 4th of July. Grill a brat, have a beer and play some GD. | |
| Power Supplies & Performance Parabolic, try the Panamax with only your Krell and dac, while placing your Bryston and sub into wall outlets--system should sound better. |
