Synergistic Red Fuse ...
nyname if you really care my posts are all here for you to read and determine if any are insightful or not. Why would you need me to tell you which ones are substantive or insightful? So you can tell me they are not? Only you can determine what ad... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
nyname, OK here is a brief summary of where I stand on the topic of SR fuses.   I tried a donated Red Fuse and heard little if any difference.I do not think all fuses are created equal. I also tend to agree with Wolf’s assessment of SR and its mar... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Wolf has indicated multiple times to various degrees of detail that he did experience the Black Fuse.The science behind fuses has also been covered pretty extensively in this thread by Almarg, Atmasphere and others who most would regard as highly ...

OP,Negative input is in the eye of the beholder.This s not CNN or Fox News.  I don’t see participating in a balanced discussion as  negative. Everyone has their opinions and the facts supporting some of the claims made are scarce..   The truth lik...

nyname what "stock" fuses specifically have you compared the SRs to to reach your conclusion that they are always an upgrade?Yes not all fuses are created equal. I think most everyone on this thread has agreed with that. Also if you are suggesting... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Yes and there is probably now someone out there who believes that if they do not hear a difference with these things it means their system is not good enough.  Time for more upgrades in order to not bottleneck the fuse..This is all nonsense of cou...

There is much to be learned from the many opinions expressed in this thread despite there being still virtually no concrete information about the products in question.

I want to know how you know the case uses Graphene? Not to explain why that might be a good thing again. Please read more carefully! Its a simple question to answer. Has SR stated this anywhere? Or are you inferring it? That’s all I am asking.

Unfortunately Geoff just attacks me and clarifies nothing asked.Just more of the typical pattern of obfuscation.Its OK.  Most people don't give a rats arse about $100 fuses anyway.

The scary thing is Geffkait’s assertion that its the shielding nature of the casing used for the fuse (use of Graphene in the casing not the internal filament) that delivers results at least makes sense. The problem is it is only a theory with not... 
Bel Canto C7r vs Parasound Halo Integrated
Calling Class D mid fi is a huge misrepresentation.    
Bel Canto C7r vs Parasound Halo Integrated
I have c5i and think it's the cats meow.  60 watts gets you pretty far but not the nth degree if you like it loud and clear with less efficient speakers in larger rooms.   c7i has more power and tuner in addition to dac and phono.  Hard to fault o... 
Why a digital media player instead of a dedicated computer?
Erik I still use squeeze system but also have found plex to be a very good value streaming system. With very good sound that runs on most all common devices.   Not perfect but works well.

They were playing a vintage spoken recording of some sort when I heard the kefs.   They were very impressive with that.  Would have liked to heard more but had to move on.  My corner placement experiment is working out exceedingly well.  A nice ne...

You could hear the soul in her singing when she was on her game for sure and not so much when she was not.   A very stark contrast. The things that elevate people to greatness can be very fragile things.
