| Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research. Ok initial listening session done. I spent about an hour swapping fuses in the arc sp16 and comparing. Also changing fuse direction. I left the quantum sticker thingy off. So look, the red fuse sounded good. So did the stock fuse that cam... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Sales and engineering are two different things for sure. "clear,understandable and educational"Hard to beat that combo. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "The analysis paralysis syndrome suffered by most of engineering mentality must be hell. "Good engineers in industry learn to always be on the lookout for analysis paralysis and deal with it effectively as needed to accomplish the task at hand.Jus... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Two different ways to tweak in my opinion. Very much a matter of preference and goals. However with good quality modern digital processing technology its very quantified, measured and reliable to an extent not possible otherwise. Like most things ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I won’t even ask if anyone knows why the black sounds better than the red or how to decide reliably between the two. :^) Are the blacks also rated to 500V?Yes, good thing Al is out there. I suspected that the higher voltage rating was OK but need... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al, right amps and volts are two different things. Fuses protect against current/amps. Thanks for that clarification.Countdown resumed.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al,Are you saying the 500V rating is safe even though it is twice what the vendor specifies because such an event /surge can never happen?Also I’m wondering if the 500V rating alone compared to most fuses rated for US standard voltage at 120 volts... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hmm, Ok issue # 1 for me with this fuse may be a show stopper in that it appears to not match my ARC pre-amp fuse specs.ARC sp 16 manual indicates it takes a 3A, 230V slo blow fuse.Syn. Red fuse is T 3.15A, 500V.T indicates slo blow I believe (ch... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa,Red quantum fuse just arrived. Nice looking fuse, nicely packaged in original box. Seems to have some weight to it compared to most fuses as I remember. Thanks!I will take it home with me today and see what happens. Might get to try it ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Mamboni probably has more experience in all aspects of music including listening than most anyone in these parts.There are many ways to tweak effectively but I'd think twice before discounting what he said. It makes perfect sense. | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". Van Der Graff Generator"Remember the Future" and "A Tab in the Ocean". Nektar"Eruption". Focus"Close to the Edge" Yes"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here". Porcupine Tree"Dabsong Concerto". And "Nine Feet Underground"... | |
| Keith Emerson of ELP.....Rest in Peace! Never saw them live. My loss. | |
| Now Keith Emerson is gone... A true late 20th century musical pioneer and hugely talented. He trail-blazed in a most unique and formative time in history of pop/rock music. Music critic's didn't get ELP and demonized them but true music lovers out there knew they were heari... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf,Once I get all that I will surely be hooked and hired ninja assassins may not be able to make me part with my new friends.We'll see.... :^) | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Pretty much any good quality one set up right. Most Led Zep recordings are not very challenging on the grande scale of things. But any good table set up right should be able to deliver what's there and make any Zep fan pretty happy. |
