Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^ Excellent post, Jason ... thank you. The SR Black fuses seem to bring out the "humanness" in what is really no more than music reproduction in our homes. How they work is of no consequence to me at all ... only that they do. Do they work in al... 
Need Help Ripping My CD Collection
Once ripped, please donate your CD's to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army thrift store. There are those of us who really love great music for under a buck.

^^^^ ... It takes some experimentation.  Rotate one fuse at a time. If its in the wrong direction the system will sound out of phase. The sound stage may even appear larger but it will be diffused and vague. Installed in the proper direction and e...

^^^ I hear you, butler. Getting the most music out of our systems has been one of the topics of discussion in this thread. As you read through you'll find lots of music recommendations ... and what we've referred to as getting a more "organic" sou...

Welcome to the discussion, butler. As you continue upgrading to the Black fuses, you'll get a similar improvement as you have already experienced. They'll be a nice improvement when you change out your one RED fuse for a Black one too. Frank 
My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive
For the belt drive guys ... do yourself a favor and buy one of Origin Live's custom TT belt. Its an amazing upgrade and solid improvement for not a lot of money. It worked wonders for my classic Well Tempered Table. http://www.originlive.com/turnt...

Charles ...After digging though the CD vault this evening, I discovered that I do have Jo Stafford's "Ballad of The Blues." Its recorded in mono. The LP is in stereo. The CD sound is more "up front," but over all I prefer the LP. The "Jo+Jazz" CD ...

^^^ ... Hi, Charles ...I have the Jo+Jazz on both LP and CD. I have "Ballad of The Blues" on LP but not on CD.  If the CD is anything like the LP, you're in for a real treat. I'd be interested in what you think of the sound quality of the CD. If t...

For those of you who love soulful music from south of the border, Linda   Ronstadt made one album with great Mexico City musicians. I heard her perform the songs on this album live at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. An amazing evening. http://...

^^^  Thank you, Charles ...Billy Eckstine has always been one of my favorites. As a junior high kid, I was obsessed with trying to sound like him. I was always trying to sing "I Apologize" in that deep, wonderful crooner's voice. Never could pull ...

a25105 ...I'm using Herbie's Ultra Sonic RX's.  So far, I've put these into the REF-3 preamp and the CD player. Next will be the phono stage and the amp.  I see no reason at this point ... or ever, to buy another CD player.  Red Book CD's can bogg...

^^^  I was going to answer .... but what's the point? There's way too much music to listen to tonight to be the whipping boy for a couple of infantile egos. By the way ... I installed six of Herbies tube dampeners in the ARC-CD 7-se last night. Th...

GeorgeLoFi ...Perhaps you haven't noticed, but this thread has evolved far beyond being just about fuses. You might consider starting your own thread for anti fuse folks like yourself. You know, kind of like the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Fede... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^ I think it best that we keep in mind here that its really about the music. Does a tweak or an equipment upgrade get you closer to the actual event or does it not? How many of us posting here have been so taken by a piece of music being played ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^  Charles ,...I wasn't aware that you had a WWTT Charles. With certain modifications and proper setup they can be close to giant killers. I'm going to spend the day (Sunday) digging through the old record vault to see how many of the records I ...
