So done with audiophile fuses
I replaced it with a ceramic Littelfuse of the lower correct value it works fine. So let me get this straight: you cannot hear any difference between a Synergistic Orange and a ceramic Littlefuse. Okay. I can believe that. But then why were you p...

MC i always liked the idea of upgrading some of the crossover parts in my Dunlavys. I know they can sound even better. It was after reading of all the difficulties a member here in Agon faced till making them sound right again with a good number o...

That was one of my first too, caps and diodes in my Aronov integrated. More recently, caps and diodes in the Synergistic Active Shielding MPC. These all brought big improvements in detail and liquidity. So I am sure inductors, resistors and caps w... 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
The idea came from a study of our atmosphere. The ionosphere is a high layer of the atmosphere that because it is charged reflects a certain range of electromagnetic radiation back to earth, where it bounces back again. Since the Earth is round th...

Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated).
This indeed is the question. None of this stuff can really be compared any other way than by, uh, comparison. Because "the ultimate comparison" with live acoustic music, does not apply because then you have to consider the entire recording chain. ... 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Interestingly enough, when someone insists on measurement as the be-all I often times find myself thinking, "Measurement. What a tool." 
Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl?
Anyone thinks any digital anything sounds better with classical than vinyl is trying to put legs on a snake. https://youtu.be/NelBNtNm8l0?t=3    Notice the kid in the back has his hands up. He knows when he's licked. More sense than the rest.

The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's.
I have a brand new to me White Hot Stamper of Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees that came the other day. Looking forward to finally having time to hear it tonight.
