| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I used a pair of Ralph's 60 watt mono blocks to drive my Acoustat Four's for a few years. Under powered for sure ... but oh my God, that mid-range!! To die for! The Atmosphere amps were on loan from a friend and I ended up using an ARC Classic 60 ... | |
| Aggressive know it all salesman I've spent over 50 years of my life in 100% commissioned sales. I can't think of anything else I'd want to do for a living. The job of the salesperson is to help the prospect get what the prospect wants first and foremost. This is done not by TELL... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Haven't tried the other levels. With the 30 day return policy, perhaps you could try them out and go from there. You'd only be out the return shipping. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ronrags ...The SR Atmosphere level 3 PC's were a game changer for me. Prior to the change, I was using some of Dave Magnan's experimental PC's that were mighty, mighty fine. Had them in the system for years. The Magnan PC's are now residing in ... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK Audiolover ...Thanks for the VERY well written report on the Herbie dampeners. Your experience isn't unlike what I've experienced with other tweaks that reduce micro vibrations throughout the system. What you've described is akin to getting closer... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK ^^^ Agreed. I've had the experience of over dampening a number of times. It calls to mind an experiment I did with shrink wrap on my Well Tempered tone arm. First layer - overall improvement. Second layer - no change. Third layer - a dulling of ... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^So then geo ... Can assume that you're tired of discussing fuses? :-)OP | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^^geo ...Thanks for the input. I know ARC does not use after market fuses in their products. Its my understanding however, that the fuses they do use are oriented in the proper direction by Warren before the product is shipped to the customer. Y... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thank you Al. I'll address your questions with Warren the next time we speak. As you know (hee, hee), I'm not technically inclined at all. EC's just look at me an shake their heads with disdain. Pity, really. But, I was thinking about your commen... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I spoke with Warren Gehl at ARC this morning and the conversation eventually got around to the directional property of fuses and why they sound their best in one direction and defused (no pun intended) in the opposite direction. Warren said that ... | |

| GRASS ANYONE? Hi, David ...Check out the Maple Shade site. Pierre offers CD's that he's recorded. He has an excellent bluegrass disc that contains some really kick-ass bluegrass players ... and the sound is superb. You'd be looking for "Tony Williamson and the ... |
