Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Frank,Thanks to this thread you've started I took the SR Black splurge and even after only about 16 hours I'm happy I did. My system hasn't sounded better. It hasn't been a resounding sound difference......yet......the subtle improvements add imme... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles,It's only your good taste that allows you to recognize my good taste! Lol. I was my taste was good enough so that I wouldn't have had to spend so much money on this audio journey and instead buy what I really wanted the first time. But the... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Thanks Charles,I'm looking forward to the fuses getting even better. Yes, the Torii and Tektons do work well together. And yes, I did have the Raven and Yggy. The Raven was quite nice but I like the Torii more. As much as I like the Torri and Tekt... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Recieved my SR black fuses today for my amp, DAC and transport. Even  after just a couple of hours they sound better than the stock fuses. I haven't played with direction yet, figured I'd let them burn in first. I thought my system was quite trans... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Neither Decware or PS Audio endorsed any one brand ( actually PS Audio did mention a specific brand in their literature but I don't remember which one) but advocate trying differant brands to obtain the sound you like best. Paul McGowan wrote an a... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
ptss......I appreciate your concern but I would think if there was any danger of the fuses damaging the equipment neither Steve Deckert of Decware nor Paul McGowan of PS Audio would recommend them in their products. Maybe it's an elaborate scheme ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
First off I must admit to being cynical about audiophile fuses but since both my amp and digital source manufacturers ( Decware and PS Audio) advocate the use of them I've taken the leap of faith and ordered Synergistic Research Black fuses for my... 
Schitt Audio Still in business???
While they didn't always answer my questions regarding sonic qualities of their products very well they did response promptly and I couldn't be happier with my Yggdrassil. The Yggy added detail, texture and airiness to both my Oppo 105d and McInto...

How about Raven Audio? 
Raven Audio Tube amps
As I've already mentioned I love my Raven Audio Blackhawk with my Tekton Enzo's and soon I'll have the Legacy Focus SE's to compare with the Enzo's. Raven Audio uses Legacy speakers to voice their amps so I have great expectations for the Focus SE... 
Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
Damn, Ive been going about this all wrong......you mean my wife should be asking to handle my cords? If only! :)Im sure if I had a six figure system I wouldn't think twice about spending big bucks on cables. I will say I've been very happy with NO... 
Alternatives to Rogue Stereo 100
You might want to check out Raven Audio. I'm loving their Blackhawk integrated amp and switched the power tubes to RCA black plates to get an even warmer sound. It's only rated at 20 WPC but seems much more powerful and drove some Magnapan 1.7i's ... 
When is your Hifi good enough?
Oh how I wish I was where my system was "good enough" for my liking. That's not to say I don't enjoy what I have but I'm always pursuing something better it seems. I'm sure I can get there with unlimited time and budget.....is that asking too much... 
Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't have near the knowledge ( practical or theoretical) than most here, but I just can't seem to hear any difference between stock or audiophile fuses ( regardless of direction). I'm not knocking those that do, ... 
Where do you guys buy tubes?
Another nod to Andy at Vintage Tube Services. He has an endless knowledge of tubes, tube components and speakers and is always willing to take the time to answer your questions. I recently purchased a matched quad of RCA 6L6GC black plates from hi...
