Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Andy ... Our systems are apples and oranges. I'm so old school, I didn't understand a word of what you said. *lol*  I have no clue when it comes to the digital download/hard drive stuff. I think the problem is, at this juncture, I'm so old I'm sti...

^^^  " My CD collection is now in reality a pricelesstreasure. "Yes, I've had the same experience with my digital playback. I only use redbook CD's with the all tube ARC CD7se as my source.  Before I got into the SR fuses CD's were played mostly ... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Okay ... its been almost exactly a year since I started this thread on the great AT ART-9 cartridge. Over this past year, I've made some real significant upgrades to the system including some very outstanding room treatments. Where I thought the A... 
Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion
If cost isn't a consideration and quality sound is, you might want to try cables from Von Gaylord audio.  I recently upgraded to their IC's and bi-wired speaker cables. So far, a real game changer. http://vongaylordaudio.com/beta/cabling/OP

Redbook Keeps Surprising
Cleeds ...Yes, I have a low mileage 2005 (just turned 64,000) Lexus LS 400 that has a Mark Levinson sound system in it. You should hear how it sounds when a really clean vinyl record is recorded onto cassette and then played back on a good car sys... 
Advice on what preamp to select.
Wow ... big difference between the ARC SP-9 you were considering and the SP-16 you finally ended up with. Nice choice.  
Audio Research LS15 vs. SP14
I had the SP-14 in the system for a number of years before moving up to the REF-3.   The SP-14 is a fine preamp with an excellent phono stage.  I ran it with a number of amps, including an ARC Classic 60, Atmosphere OTL 60 watt mono blocks and eve...

^^^I love you guys.   Hangin' out here is a lot of fun. Somehow I think we'll be hearing *crickets* from old Labtec for awhile. Could the name "labtec" be a clue to his opinionated thinking?  Is the audio hobby all about measurements in his world?...

Interesting that someone would take the time to chatter on for five paragraphs with nothing but diddle and accuse others of being ridiculous.  1.  As for me, I listen to my system every evening and most early mornings. I post on the Audiogon site ...

^^^Nice post, Andy ...You just never know what will affect the sound either negatively or positively. Salt blocks ... who-da thunk it?  :-) I'm really looking forward to your assessment of the two SR outlets as they break in. They're on my bucket... 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Okay ... I like to make cassette copies of some of my favorite vinyl LP's and play them in my car ... especially on road trips.  Am I violating copyright law in this instance?   What if I make a cassette copy of an LP and give it to a friend?  Or,...

thaluza ...Thank you for that post re: the SR Black outlet.   I'm presently using the Oyaide outlet and considering going with the SR Black.  Question:  You say the Oyaide was "bright sounding."  It doesn't sound bright in my system ... so, I'm cu...

^^^ The major problem with trying to communicate via the keyboard is the fact that we can't see each other's facial expressions, hand gestures or other body language. Sooo, its easy to be misinterpreted or misunderstood.  Maybe a good "emotion" fo...
