Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Aha Al that makes perfect sense as I could make out the 250 and was just guessing ma but volt makes sense so that must be it and yes it is indeed a straight thin piece of wire. Thanks! 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
@charles1dad  I certainly can contact them in the meantime took another look and its F6.3A on one side and 250ma on the other. Guessing the F is for fast blow but the numbers are what's confusing me as 6.3A and 250ma are totally different values a... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Was reading about fuses and pulled out the fuse in my preamp but it was very hard to read, it definitely said 6.3A on one side the other side was much harder to make out but pretty sure it said 250ma. Do these numbers together make sense? Also how... 
Dick's / Dave's picks
Not a big 78 fan myself but good to see some stuff released, I'm sure it will come my way eventually. Just checked I only have two 78's in my collection 1/31 and 5/14, plus 5/10 which was a Dicks Pick. I used to have the Red Rocks shows as tapes b... 
Do you like Mexican music??
Not sure about Mexican music specifically but I love Latin music and especially latin jazz. 
Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why?
Lets see its my system so it's............my-fi! Best way I can think to describe it because it just makes me happy! 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Wow people need to relax a bit we're talking speakers here not politics! And tomtab you should throw some tubes at those bad boys, perhaps something vintage to complement the history like a Dynaco St-70 or old McIntosh or Fischer amp or something.... 
What's happened to Taters ?
Noooooooooooooo.............don't say that!   Honestly other than his constant attacks on rap music I didn't really mind him but perhaps the mods gave him a talking to? Or he gave rap another chance and emerged a changed man? Who can really say...... 
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Another shout out for Deja Vu Audio, handmade tube gear that sounds great and is ultra reliable.Great value for money relatively speaking and great people to deal with. 
Supratek or Rogue?
Joseph if you put @ in front of each of their usernames Audiogon will send them a message notification. As I said before keep in mind their messages are 5 years old. 
Supratek or Rogue?
@hicham Considering the post was from 5 years ago you may not hear back but who knows. The new format seems to be leading to lots of ppl responding to very old threads. 
Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs)
If you're looking for more warmth try an amp that uses EL34's and get a set of Gold Lion KT-77's. It's a great sounding tube that was far better than PSvane, not the regular EL34 I tried a pricey vintage PSvane Philips reproduction tube, great pac... 
Opinions Please: Daily proliferation, several dealer/distributor ads,..
I would agree but in my opinion it's fine when dealers post used or demo gear a lot of those ads are good gear at good prices. But what really annoys me and many others it seems, is the constant relisting even of used gear. As someone who scans Ne... 
Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre?
I would imagine a Line-2 upgraded for $1K today would probably smoke anything you can buy around $2500 and I would certainly personally suggest staying with tubes for your preamp. Pretty sure the Line-2 is well built with a large outboard power su...
