| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "You’ve been active in this thread almost from the beginning ... and you’re still in doubt?? Even with a 30 day return policy?"A 30 day return policy would sem to take the risk out of it.Thing is I spent a lot of time and effort to get just the so... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al,A sensible position to take, as usual.Its a reasonable argument I think that a fuse that conducts better and is less susceptible to vibrations and resonances performs better and might even sound better in some cases as a result.No two anything ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I will buy anything possibly if the value proposition is there.$100 fuse? Maybe. It all depends on the detailed facts which with high end tweaks are often murky at best. Individuals proclaiming better sound are always useful data points. A somewha... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ok so there is a featured listing on Agon for Synergistic Quantum Black Fuse that indicates use of Graphene in the fuse, which would be a fairly significant thing I would guess regardless of how it may or may not sound.Yet on vendors site they m... | |
| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? Just curious how op knows it's the speakers that are underperforming? What amp is used? Maybe amp cannot drive the Focals to their max. I heard them once off a krell integrated and they did not strike me as wimpy. Not sure what of similar ... | |
| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? I'd want to hear PF on Ohm 5015 or mbl 101. | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Ohm Walsh with wide range pseudo omni Walsh driver up to 7khz or so does it right and best IMHO. Amp and other gear used will largely determine what you hear. Sometimes warm sometimes not. | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Excellent. Sounds like subdudes are doing their thing. Now you are in a much better place to assess from here.Not familiar with those speakers specifically but I am pretty sure you can do better without necessarily spending a fortune. | |
| Opinions on the Tandberg 3012 Tandberg gear still in good operating condition is a keeper still. I wish I still had mine and am tempted to pick up another Tandberg amp in particular quite often. I had a tr2080 receiver for many years. It was my favorite line we sold back i... | |
| When I have seen people listing their systems lately Yes, in the end it is best to have all "static" tags and album art embedded in the file and use a open and non-proprietary file format like FLAC rather than any vendor proprietary one. That keeps you from being setback should you choose to use som... | |
| "Thriller": A great demo disc! Thriller is one of the best sounding pop genre recordings of all time. It should sound really good! | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Ralph, again though even if production of uber dynamic lps need not have technical limitations, and teh makers are inclined to leverage the technology to the max (rather than make some compromises in the interest of managing cost and overhead usua... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! Plex software includes apps and server and runs on most all common platforms including Android and the app has gotten quite good on the last year or so and continues to get better. I’ve been going towards PLEX rather than Sonos (proprietary hardwa... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Agree. Resolution and dynamic range are two different things and not necessarily correlated. You can have lots of bits available for both but its still the recording engineers that get to determine how or if to use them or not. | |
