Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
Hi Johnny, Was the new Orange outlet installed at the wall feeding all equipment specifically?

Audiosens,I ilke how you describe the sound of the fuse . I too just got some and burning in.I have used many fuses and they sound less exciting, less impressive than the Blue fuse, never really liked the black. My impression seems that it sounds ... 
High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience
I have also found the Nordost, V2 in this case to go extemely well with cables which are the the warmer and fuller presentation.The V2 are said to be slightly warmer, but still find them on towards the neutral and opening sounding side which doesn... 
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
I am surprised, not many of the many MC05 users have not posted or tried the Helix MC0.5.I found after tests that it for me, with a few existing MC0.5s, much preferred over adding either the MC1 pro or pro Helix and kept the MC0.5 Helix's instead. 
Voltage Modification on Japanese units

Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs
I have not heard the SA10, but am sure it is a fab player having owned the previous flagships. Now, Marantz voices their CDP's from the midrange which results in a very nice beautify midrange at the expense of more openness and solidity in the low... 
How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i
You might want to try the node 2i decoding Mqa to you dac. It probably sounds better this way. I had a node 2 and Auralic Aries Femto clock version.How matter how I try to set it up, it's sonic character was why different from the Node 2.Testing M... 
MORE Esoteric problems
I cannot imagine technically why a jig is required.Just replace the whole mechanism would be a fine solution. 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Hi,WD40 works well for rusted or gunk seized treads, but my real concern is if the units screw threads where intentionally thread locked or threads possible flatted to tamper proof the unit and keep prying hands out.The force needed does seem like... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@oregonpapa How do you undo the hex screws from the Sound Application conditioner.Mine seems to be stuck and hardly turn, afraid they will get damaged or stripped?Thanks
