| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just installed SR Blacks in my Maggie 3.6Rs. The blacks have replaced the reds, which sounded remarkably better than the Furutechs and SR20s. Two hours in--the blacks sound just as good as the reds right out of the box--I am hearing midrange info... | |
| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? With the 20.1s, it would be great if you put in just one REL Gibralter, which would be much more dynamic and effortless than two cheaper subs. Not sure which size would be best--there are two. | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company 400S, two stories. Just have to use them right.... | |
| Does the ceiling fan affect the sound? A strong breeze does degrade sound, as when at an outdoor concert or event. In a strong crosswind, the sound waxes and wanes as the air it traveling through is suddenly replaced by different air blowing in. The air in your room is fairly station... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company 400S, two stories. Jim, with the 400S units, just plug your low-wattage pieces into them--CD, pre-amp, DVD, phono, DAC. Subs and amps go to wall. The 400 does not pass enough current for amps--need a bigger transformer for those--or the wall. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, thanks for the listings, Papa. I heard them all on Youtube and have ordered two by Cal Tjader and a few by "Modern Jazz Quartet", not on you list, but I'm sure you will approve. I like those vibes. I think that Rick Braun CD would sound jus... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Alright, my thanks for listening to Rick Braun and band--not the acoustic ensemble of the golden era--but likable. How about "Fourplay" with Bob James? Just like to know how the cool/smooth jazz of today rates with the purists. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... That old bebop is good, alright--pull up Rick Braun’s, "Sessions Volume 1" on Youtube for some of the hippest cool jazz in this time, please. Just let it play and tell me if you dig it, Papa, Charles, Jond, et al. | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear Fatgosil, did you say your room is 20' X 60' with 20' ceilings and bare walls and floors? Wow--your room is an echo chamber. Can you partition off a smaller listening area? | |
| Bruce Cockburn - dancing in the dragons claws great listen! Fabulous sound, including "Humans" | |
| Is Maggie 20.1 still overall better than 3.7? REL subs integrate perfectly and lift Maggies in sound stage and dynamics--i use two Strata III's. Older, but a nice size for the 3 series. | |
| Is Maggie 20.1 still overall better than 3.7? Hasse, by all means, try the SR fuses, and skip the reds and go with the SR blacks. I'm going to go from red to black. I also push the amperage values quite a bit--double. | |
| Is Maggie 20.1 still overall better than 3.7? The 3.7 is more coherent with slightly better mid bass slam, more articulate but sounds a bit leaner than the 3.6. I sometimes miss the fuller lows.Thanks, Hasse--do you use any of the tweaks I listed? | |
| Help with system/ARC noise Yes, the PS Audio regenerators appear to be very nice sources, although a bit spendy compared to the other brands that will supply more power than the PS10. See if you can first place a dedicated, 20A line, which will supply 2400W, but that is onl... | |
| Help with system/ARC noise I'm not sure why you are hearing a popping. A concern, though, is your power demands vs your power supply. If you are using a typical 15A circuit that runs to several receptacles in your listening room, you are probably underpowered for that big a... |
