| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Is that the best you can do, Georgie? There is gear out there with decades of use that've never had their fuses replaced because they were properly designed. Pull those fuses out and they don't look anything like the ones you use in your silly sli... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? You’ve been told, it’s not the fuse, but the way it’s seated in the fuse holder that gives a very small voltage drop across the fuse (unlikely detectable) You’ve been told, many times, that the way a fuse holder is shaped doesn’t change over time ... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? You "fusers" did I say anything about the sound??, I think NOT!!Like Ralph said it can be measured in an amp as a "very small" voltage drop across the fuse if it has a misaligned/dirty fuse holder, but your mains will be varying much worse than th... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? So, bad contact with a standard fuse can account for a difference in the sound of the amp where a different fuse can't account for a difference in sound because it's just a fuse and it's not in a place where it can affect the sound.Yeah. Right. Ma... | |
| A revealing speaker First, thank you, @hifiheartguy, for your impressions and contributions to my wavering mental state. Great to have you aboard here, on A'gon. Same for you, @rocray. These speakers still haunt me but I have to keep things in perspective. Tony told ... | |
| A revealing speaker The JBL 4319 is nice looking and nice sounding and from what I've been told, going to the L100 would be, at best, a sideways move. If I had the space, I'd go for the new G6 from Tony, but I can't justify having both.Time will tell, and congrats on... | |
| A revealing speaker @snowpidgeon,That's quite the speaker journey you've had. After reading it, I'm starting to get that itch again, thinking I was over it. A friend of mine who read this let me know that he's interested in my JBL 4319 monitors. I told him I was keep... | |
| A revealing speaker @phill55,Yeah, Tony is one of the most down to earth guys you'll meet. The $3K price sounds about right but I really didn't pay attention as my focus was just on the sound (part of my rationalizing process). I think he only has a couple on hand an... | |
| A revealing speaker I wholeheartedly concur. I've done things backwards enough to last a couple of lifetimes. As for my JBLs, they're staying as I've gotten some pretty great results with the Isoacoustic Oreas under my gear. The resulting focus shows just what is ma... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Listening in a somewhat near field fashion, I just concentrate on speaker placement and toe in. I’ll leave room treatment for another day if I ever get a dedicated, and proper sized room.The sound is great and I’ve had two people who’s ears I trus... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws OMG. I. Was. Supporting. You.He also went into detail about how they listened and heard and theorized as to why. At no point did I paste his quote but maybe this will do:Ok, "My turn"!And please feel free to look this up!There are several reasons ... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws @roxy54 ,I don't know where that came from. I never said it was measurable, just tested and heard and theorized about, just like jollygreenaudiophile2 stated. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today?All the best,Nonoise | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Have you measured the speakers before and after to make sure its not your imagination? Don't be so silly. Irony abounds along with a great big dollop of lack of situational awareness.Didn't go through this entire thread but hey folks, this notion... | |
| Analog or Digital and why? Digital is all I listen to (CDs) unless I go to an audio show or dealer and get a chance to listen to vinyl. Done properly, digital can be the bee's knees. Vinyl has that nostalgic quality, invoking some very strong emotions but it's not enough to... | |
| A revealing speaker It's actually a dome tweeter. I can't remember the brand but it is off the shelf (readily available) and it has all the air and ambience you'd need and zero bite or edge. I'm still scratching my head on that one.All the best,Nonoise |
